Therapy Services

Shows Therapy specializes in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), integrating select principles of Occupational Therapy to support functional recovery and long-term independence.

The McKenzie Method is a comprehensive biopsychosocial system of musculoskeletal care that emphasizes patient empowerment, education, and self-management. This evidence-based system of assessment, diagnosis, and patient management is effective for acute, subacute, and chronic conditions affecting the spine and extremities. MDT provides a reliable and practical framework that prioritizes individualized patient needs and clinical findings rather than protocol-driven or therapist-directed treatment.

Supported by decades of research, clinical evidence, and international clinical practice, the McKenzie Method is recognized for producing meaningful outcomes. Our care model is assessment-driven and highly individualized, utilizing active treatment strategies rather than passive modalities to promote lasting symptom resolution and functional improvement. Our wellness programs are designed to be cost-effective, frequently reducing the need for unnecessary imaging, invasive procedures, or prolonged treatment episodes. The McKenzie approach is non-invasive and self-directed, focusing on collaboration between clinician and patient to develop effective, sustainable management strategies. This preventative model equips patients with lifelong skills to manage symptoms and reduce recurrence.

Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy places control back into the hands of the patient, empowering individuals to understand their condition, manage pain effectively, and return to meaningful activities with confidence through solutions proven to work.

As part of our specialized MDT services, Shows Therapy utilizes the REPEX treatment table for spinal care. Designed specifically for the McKenzie Method by Robin McKenzie, the REPEX table facilitates repetitive, end-range passive spinal movements in flexion and/or extension. This allows for a high frequency of controlled motion to reduce pain and promote symptom centralization, particularly for patients with spinal disorders who may be unable to perform repeated movements independently.

In addition to MDT-based care, Shows Therapy offers adjunctive services including muscle heat therapy, TENS unit treatment, whirlpool therapy, and dry needling, when clinically appropriate, as part of a comprehensive and individualized treatment approach.
