In this post, we go over one of the staples of Mckenzie method treatment for neck pain - the retraction and extension exercise. This, combined with chiropractic and manual therapy, helps resolve many neck problems quickly.
This video is yet another example of how we utilize extension end range movements in the Mckenze Method to help you find rapid relief from back pain. It is best performed in a chair with a straight back that ends around your mid back, just below the most painful part of your spine. If the pain is lower in the spine, you can use a separate object to create a fulcrum point below your symptoms. As always, the magic of mckenzie exercises is gettin to your end range of motion, so use the chair to push your body weight back, driving your elbows up and back to go as far as possible.
