Relief for your symptoms with the McKenzie Method in Rovaniemi
The McKenzie method is a scientifically proven physiotherapy method that is particularly helpful for back, neck and disc pain.
Self-care physiotherapy supports functional capacity
In McKenzie therapy, the physiotherapist analyses the behaviour of pain in relation to different directions of movement and postures. Based on this analysis, individualised exercises are selected to relieve symptoms and help restore function. The exercises are easy, safe and designed to be done at home. The aim is not only to relieve pain, but also to prevent pain and empower the patient to manage their symptoms.

What are the benefits of the McKenzie method for back and neck pain?
The McKenzie method is particularly effective in mechanical pain conditions where a particular movement direction exacerbates or relieves symptoms. It helps to identify the specific movements that reduce pain and restore normal function to the back or neck. Correctly selected repetitive exercises can relieve symptoms such as sciatica or neck headaches after just a few sessions.

What is your first visit to McKenzie Therapy like?
At the first visit, the physiotherapist will conduct a thorough interview and examine how the body reacts to different movements and postures. Based on this analysis, an individualised exercise programme is defined. The client will be instructed on repetitive movements, the effects of which will be closely monitored.
-
Is it safe to do McKenzie training at home?
Yes. The method is based on safe, guided movements designed for home exercise. The client is given clear instructions to help them to exercise independently. Home exercise is an integral part of the method and supports long-term symptom control

How quickly can I expect results?
The results can show up surprisingly quickly. Within the first week, many people experience a reduction in pain or an improvement in range of motion.

This is how physiotherapy progresses during your appointment
1
Initial mapping and discussion
The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.
2
Examining the symptoms
After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.
3
Treatment and rehabilitation plan
Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.

Follow-up and further guidance
Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary.
