McKenzie Exercises

Exercise can reduce perceived pain and improve flexibility, strength, endurance and cardiovascular condition. McKenzie exercises are described as effective for reducing moderate-to-severe neck pain in adults. The McKenzie method emphasizes self-management through postural correction and repeated end-range movements. Participants are classified into McKenzie subgroups of postural syndrome, dysfunction syndrome and derangement syndrome. Clinical practice guidelines recommend therapeutic exercise as a first-line physiotherapy intervention for neck pain.
