Treat Your Own Back – 9th Edition (McKenzie Method)
Treat Your Own Back, 9th Edition was written by Robin McKenzie and has helped millions of people worldwide better understand and manage mechanical low back pain. This widely used patient education book introduces the McKenzie Method (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy / MDT) and provides practical guidance on posture, ergonomics, and simple home exercises.
This edition is the previous version of the book and remains effective, but it has since been replaced by the newer 10th Edition, which includes expanded and updated educational content.
What This Book Covers
- How posture and everyday movements can influence back pain
- Common mechanical causes of lower back pain and sciatica
- Basic self-assessment concepts used in the McKenzie Method
- Simple, structured home exercises for managing symptoms
- Strategies to support prevention and long-term self-management
A Trusted Resource in Back Pain Self-Care
Treat Your Own Back is often used alongside assessment and treatment from a certified McKenzie (MDT) practitioner. It is designed to help readers better understand their symptoms, recognize helpful versus aggravating movements, and take a more active role in managing lumbar spine pain.
First published in 1980, this book was the original title in the internationally recognized Treat Your Own series by Robin McKenzie. It distills key MDT principles taught to medical professionals worldwide into an accessible format intended for patients and the general public.
About the 9th Edition
The 9th Edition features revised formatting, updated educational content for its time, and improved illustrations to support learning. While the core McKenzie principles remain consistent across editions, the 9th Edition reflects the clinical language and educational approach used prior to the release of the more recent 10th Edition.
PhysioStore Note
The 9th Edition is a solid, proven resource and is offered at a reduced price while clearance inventory lasts. For first-time buyers or those wanting the most current McKenzie guidance, we recommend the newer 10th Edition.
