McKenzie Check
| -Does your complaint change places? (for example: sometimes the pain is centered in the middle of the back, and sometimes more towards the side or in the buttock) |
Yes No |
| -Does your complaint vary in intensity? (for example: in the morning you have a lot of pain and during the day it is more bearable) |
Yes No |
| -Does your complaint respond to movements? (For example: the complaint diminishes after a short walk. Or the complaint worsens or radiates when you bend down) |
Yes No |
| -Does your complaint respond to different attitudes? (for example: the complaint increases after standing for a while. Or the complaint decreases after sitting for a while) |
Yes No |
| -Have you suffered from the same complaint more than once? | Yes No |
If you have answered 2 or more questions with YES, this is a strong indication that your complaints are mechanical. A McKenzie therapist can analyze mechanical complaints and explain with a reliable diagnosis which movement strategy is best for you (at the moment). With treatment according to the McKenzie method, both acute complaints and complaints that have been present for a long time can be influenced.
