How it works
Uses the concept of directional preference — many disc-related sciaticas respond to end-range extension or lateral shift correction, which progressively centralises and abolishes leg pain.
Requires trained McKenzie therapist to determine the correct directional preference. Not all sciaticas have a directional preference. Highly effective for the subgroup where it applies.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
