Měla jsem štěstí vidět se s Robinem, hovořit s ním a vidět ho pracovat. Děkuji🤝
🌿 “Everything I know I learnt from my patients. I did not set out to develop a McKenzie Method. It evolved spontaneously over time as a result of clinical observation.”
— Robin McKenzie
This humble line captures Robin’s true spirit:
👂 Listen.
👀 Observe.
🔄 Let the patient’s response guide the process.
The McKenzie Method® didn’t begin as a grand design — it grew from the clinic, shaped by watching patients and using what worked. Over time, these observations became a reliable, reproducible system that empowers people to take control of their own care.
🟦 The evolution didn’t stop with Robin.
He passed the system forward, believing this knowledge should reach as many patients as possible. Many clinicians in this series — and many more worldwide — continue to teach, refine, and share the concepts of MDT. Together, they have shaped it into a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach far beyond “just extension exercises.”
🌍 A Global Community
MDT is taught through official branches in:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hellas (Greece), Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon–Middle East, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
Beyond these, MDT is also taught in additional countries under the International branch, often in local languages.
📝 A Note of Appreciation
Some quotes were used outside their original context to illustrate MDT principles. Many valued contributors were not featured simply because their published or translated material wasn’t accessible — yet their impact on MDT is deeply appreciated and never overlooked.
💙 Thank you to everyone who continues to listen, observe, and learn from patients — just as Robin taught us.
