Programme of McKenzie Certification in Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT)

To correctly reach a mechanical diagnosis and provide successful treatment for any patient, the clinician must be adequately trained.  The Robin McKenzie Institute Canada provides a programme of certification that consists of a sequential five part series of courses followed by a Credentialing Examination.  This series is 17 days in total.

Part A: The Lumbar Spine Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy - Days 1 to 4 (28 hours)
Part B: The Cervical and Thoracic Spine Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy - Days 5 to 7 (21 hours)
Part C: Advanced Lumbar Spine & Extremities - Lower Limb   Days 8-11 (28 hours);
Part D: Advanced Cervical & Thoracic Spine & Extremities - Upper Limb - Days 12 to 15 (28 hours);

Exam Credentialing Examination:  Day 17.
Diploma Diploma Program
CSU Clinical Skills Update - 2 days
Course segments are to be taken sequentially starting with Part A .  Each course level is a pre-requisite to attend the next course in the series and therefore should not be considered as individually separate and complete in themselves.    Proof of attendance at each course is provided in the form of a course certificate and to receive this certificate, the course attendee must have attended the entire course.
