Tested and scientifically proven to work
Robin McKenzie's books have been scientifically proven to work, unlike most unconventional or "natural" therapies that are currently available for people with back or neck pain.
Since Robin McKenzie first wrote his books, much research has been done to test his theories. Study after study validate his methods, and conclude they have a positive effect on the treatment and prevention of back pain. Research has shown that about 70% of the population can benefit from self-treatment.
Latest study results published in Spine Journal (Vol 27, No 24) show that McKenzie exercises taken from Treat Your Own Back can actually prevent back pain, as found in a Danish group of young military conscripts.
Another study validating the McKenzie Method was completed by Dr Brian Udermann (USA). Dr Udermann used Robin McKenzie's Treat Your Own Back when he conducted research to find out if an educational booklet could change behaviour and pain in low back pain patients.
His results, published in 2001, show that over half of the group who read Treat Your Own Back reported a decrease in pain within one week. The nine-month follow-up revealed that 85% of the group had less low back pain since reading the book. At the 18 month follow-up, 95% of the people contacted were still following the advice in the book. For those people, the number of pain episodes per year had reduced by 96% and the severity of pain had reduced by 75%.
A new book by Ron Donelson entitled Rapidly Reversible Low Back Pain is an evidence-based publication by a veteran spine specialist, researcher and educator, showing the Benefits and Success of MDT. This book has received many positive reviews.
