Well done Jade. Your consistency and positive attitude has paid off. We are very proud of you.

Benoni High is incredibly proud to congratulate Jade Doran (Grade 10) on her selection to represent South Africa at the African Youth Games in Angola later this year! Jade will be competing in the 2000m Steeplechase, and we couldn’t be more excited for her.

Well done, Jade — we are so proud of you! 🇿🇦

💬 “Why do Directional Preference exercises help?
Because patients are doing them.” – Georg Supp

This quote captures something beautifully simple — and clinically powerful.

In the McKenzie Method®, not every patient has a Directional Preference (DP)… but for those who do, the solution is often remarkably straightforward:

➡️ The exercises feel good.
➡️ They reduce symptoms quickly.
➡️ They restore function — often immediately.

And when patients feel the improvement, they’re more likely to actually do the exercises consistently.
That’s the magic of a patient-centred system:
🔹 simple,
🔹 targeted,
🔹 effective,
🔹 and driven by the individual’s own response.

Directional Preference isn’t guesswork — it’s discovered through MDT’s structured, reliable assessment process. And when it’s present, the outcome can be life-changing.

💬 “If you can classify it, you can treat it.” – Yvonne Body

This quote perfectly captures one of the greatest strengths of the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) — a validated and reliable classification system that transforms uncertainty into clarity.

🧠 Classification is the foundation of effective clinical reasoning:
✅ It helps clinicians make sense of complex presentations.
✅ It connects assessment findings directly to targeted treatment.
✅ It provides a consistent, evidence-based structure — tested and trusted worldwide.

Rather than relying on guesswork or modality-based approaches, the McKenzie Method uses systematic assessment to determine a classification — because once you can classify it, you can treat it.

Are you confident in your ability to classify?
📚 Discover how MDT training can sharpen your reasoning, refine your assessment, and improve patient outcomes through a system that’s both validated and reliable.

“The beauty of the McKenzie assessment is that it considers all possibilities and allows the clinician to quickly get to the root of the problem.” – Prof. José Liberato

This quote captures what makes the McKenzie Method® (MDT) unique.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach — it’s a structured system that allows clinicians to explore, test, and confirm what truly drives a patient’s problem.

📌 A comprehensive assessment that doesn’t jump to conclusions.
📌 A process that respects every possibility before narrowing down.
📌 A method that leads to clarity, confidence, and better outcomes.

That’s the beauty of MDT — clarity through process.

The upcoming International McKenzie Course intake is just around the corner — and there are only 10 seats left!
