   Unless you have had the experience, it’s pretty easy for you to say there is almost no way to make it worse. I do agree, however, that somePTs aren’t very helpful, I was fortunate in this instance to find a very competent one.

   I’ve seen at least twenty different chiros over the years and not one has ‘hurt’ me. I see anecdotal comments about it (mostly on youtube) and very few look actual, if any. Please tel me how they hurt you. I’m interested in plausible mechanisms. The PT’s that manipulated me all butchered the maneuvers badly, but I also wouldn’t say they ‘hurt’ me by creating any new injury. If it were possible, they would certainly have done so long before the chiros. So enlighten me.

   ok disregarding the DC vs PT discussion, is this person’s demonstration a good example of this McKenzie Exercise and being performed correctly?

   I never meant to start a D.C vs PT fight. All I wanted to get across is the emphasis on patient independance. Don Murphy D.C said it best, “”Manual therapy can be a very useful tool if used for the right purposes, but it can also cause great harm-not from actual tissue injury but from something far more damaging in the long run–patient dependency”

   The same can be said of PT’s and exercise. When I went, they would watch me do exercises I was either already doing at home, or could just as easily have been doing at home. It cost a fortune to have that babysitter. One can’t self-manipulate, however, so I think Murphy is probably talking about the extreme.
   -I actually was introduced to McKenzie exercises by a chiro, not a PT, and do enjoy them. This is a good beginners vid-as he says.

   Ummmm…DC’s are NOT physicians and they are NOT the only medical professionals who can “adjust” the spine and extremities. It is also within a PT’s (in many states) and a DO’s scope of practice to do manipulations if they have the appropriate educational background. Have a good day.

    These exercises are just yoga and Pilates moves. Yoga is what sent me to the ER and I am still not fixed. It’s been months. All from the bridge and wheel pose!
    SOmething got pinched and they don’t know where after many MRI’s and other tests.

    My Orthapedic Surgeon told me to google McKenzie Institute and find specialized therapist but I didn’t listened and paid for many, many chiropractic visits 04-06 then PT visits (07-08), then in 09 found McKenzie Specialists. Had me back to work in 1/2 the time. This is SPECIALIZED training…Definitely find a PT with this training, near you.

    what do you do during acute phases where lying on your stomach or extending causes severe pain and pinching?

    He says very much what my physiotherapist (whom I trust implicitly) is telling me. I would like to see more of what this person has to say and show.

    You may have found an answer by now, but try putting 2 pillows under your hips while lying on your stomach.

    pt is performing extension of the spine/back. Abdominals are also being passively extended. You cannot extend abdominals and flex back at the same time. These are full body motions

    @wkriski Try lying on your back with your feet elevated on a chair (z-position), this will take loading off the lumbar region.

    How do I do this with a disfunctional shoulder related to disc problems in the neck
    which have lingered for 22 years even after surgery
23. PostRehabSpecialist says:

    For the client with a shoulder dysfunction McKenzie exercises may not be a viable option. Possibly trying this same activity in standing by placing the hands on the hips and gently bending backwards. If you have balance issues the standing activity may not work for you.
