McKenzie method
The McKenzie Method is a way of helping people with back pain feel better. Imagine that your back is like a big puzzle with many pieces. Each piece needs to fit together just right in order for your back to work well. Sometimes, one of those puzzle pieces doesn't fit quite right and that can cause pain.
The McKenzie Method helps to figure out which puzzle piece is causing the pain and how to fix it. To do this, a special person called a physical therapist will ask you lots of questions and do some special tests to see how your back moves.
Then, the physical therapist will teach you special exercises that you can do at home to help fix the puzzle piece that is not fitting right. They might also suggest some things for you to do and not do throughout the day to avoid making the puzzle piece problem worse.
Over time, if you do the exercises and follow the instructions from your physical therapist, the puzzle pieces in your back will start fitting together better and your back pain should start to feel much better!
