Direct PT's desire is to help individuals relieve their pain through use of online physical therapy. In our approach we utilize McKenzie's system of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy.

All therapists found on DirectPT.com are currently licensed physical therapists with the ability to treat patients in their specific state in the United States. Each therapist on DirectPT.com also has an educational background of completing continuing education courses through The McKenzie Institute and using the McKenzie Method with patients.

The McKenzie Method is a comprehensive and logical step-by-step process to evaluate the patient's problem quickly. This mechanical examination can "classify" most patient conditions by the level of pain or limitation that results from certain movements or positions. A McKenzie assessment can eliminate the need for expensive and/or invasive procedures.
