Author and McKenzie Method Founder, Robin McKenzie

After discovering a new way to treat back pain, the late Robin McKenzie, a New Zealand physiotherapist, devoted the next 40 years to developing a system of examination and treatment for non-specific spinal mechanical pain. In 1968, Robin and his wife Joy sewed their first lumbar roll at the kitchen table, and in 1980 Robin’s first book Treat Your Own Back was published. Celebrated for his contributions to the physiotherapy profession, Robin is recognized internationally.
