In this episode, Dr. Caleb Slater and expert PT Danielle Slater dive deep into the McKenzie Method—its strengths, its limitations, and how their clinical experience has evolved beyond traditional protocols. They break down why McKenzie changed their careers, how focusing on the most proximal relevant symptom instead of the distal one led to better results, and how manual spinal assessment is often overlooked in modern PT. They also share stories of surprising success treating conditions like Crohn’s, pelvic pain, and plantar fasciitis by addressing the spine first. Whether you're a clinician, a patient, or just curious about physical therapy that actually works, this episode challenges conventional thinking and offers a fresh perspective grounded in years of hands-on experience.
