Dr. Mike am a student physiotherapist in Kosovo, with interest your exercises a lot, But not stay with the English language well but I want more that these courses can apply somewhat in order to write? Is there any way? if any as may to contact you? or if someone can help me about these exercises in order to write.I would be most grateful.

Bla bla bla...

this was very helpful, thank you!

Good presentation, thanks, 5 stars.

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.

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.

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