Against the Tide

As a physiotherapist and the creator of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT), the late Robin McKenzie is one of the most well-regarded physiotherapists in the world. His MDT method is based on a chance discovery that shaped Robin’s career and the rest of his life.Although initially met with skepticism and even ridicule, Robin’s form of treatment was eventually proven to be effective, accepted by the medical community, and eventually taught all over the globe. Not only was his form of treatment effective, but it put control into the patient’s hands, giving them the education and skills to treat mechanical pain on their own. Find out about the struggles Robin faced in his career and the events and decisions that led to his success. With amusing memories of his childhood, youth and his student life, this autobiography offers Robin's account of family and practice in Wellington, New Zealand and fills out the background to the development of his Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy. This book will both entertain and give readers pause for reflection on many matters. The foreword has been written by Vert Mooney, MD; one of the most respected researchers in the field of back pain in the USA. Written by Robin McKenzie with Ron Bybee. Softcover, 184 pages.
