Effective pain relief with MDT
Key Points
● The majority of people, more than 65%*, have a specific movement that will rapidly resolve their symptoms.● Unfortunately, most of the time, chemicals/medications do not effectively improve mechanical pain other than some temporary relief.● Our Therapists will evaluate your posture and movement to determine the most appropriate and therapeutic movement.● According to research in the MDT Method, the majority of patients will resolve within 4-6 visits.
Therapeutic movement evaluation
Mechanical Examination
● It usually takes one to three visits to determine the most appropriate therapeutic movement.● Once the therapeutic movement has been determined, more than 85% of patients will fully resolve.● Patients will learn what to do to help prevent further recurrences.● If pain is experienced in the future, the patient will know how to effectively manage it.
