Osteopathic feedback re McKenzie push-ups

Just like everything else, the McKenzie approach is not a panacea.
..regarding the McKenzie push-up.. of course, (it) is an extension-based manoeuvre.

I have found it extremely useful in many cases of disc injury (clinical and subclinical)
and have also found it useful for moblising a flat lumbar spine; in conjunction with other corrective exercise(s).
I often use the provocation tests for lumbar disc, followed by the McKenzie extension protocol,
to convince my subclinical patients that this is for real and that they NEED to work on regaining their lumbar curve;
it serves as great motivation.

Best wishes,
Matt Wallden
