Mission: The mission of the Institute is to further the philosophies and treatments for spinal disorders, as developed by Robin McKenzie. The philosophies and treatments are known throughout the world as "The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy".

The mission will be achieved through:

• Education of healthcare providers
• Research into spinal disorders
• Promotion of "The McKenzie Method"

Research into the concepts of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy as developed by Robin McKenzie is now extensive with over ninety studies being completed to date. The importance of the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the system has recently been recognised by its inclusion in the Danish Government Health Guidelines for the Management of Back Pain. The French Guidelines also recommend the McKenzie treatment for acute back pain.
