Directional Preference: Clarify. Understand. Apply.
APPLICATION HERE
Two words.
One central clinical sign.
Directional Preference lies at the heart of the McKenzie Method (MDT)… but also at the core of modern low back pain management — regardless of your professional background, clinical affiliation, or school of thought.
Many clinicians are familiar with its clinical usefulness.
Far fewer truly understand its scientific rationale.
What mechanical and biological phenomena underlie this sign?
How should it be precisely characterized in clinical practice?
Why is it still so frequently misunderstood — and sometimes misused?
As Richard Feynman wisely stated:
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool."
That requires one thing: clear and unambiguous definitions.
During this webinar, we will:
-
Clearly define what Directional Preference truly is
-
Address common misconceptions and clinical confusion
-
Explore its biomechanical and biological rationale
-
Review supporting evidence from both fundamental and clinical sciences
-
Bridge research and precise, effective clinical application
The goal: to help you apply this sign with clarity, coherence, and confidence in daily practice.
This webinar is designed for physiotherapists, physicians, and healthcare professionals who want to deepen their clinical reasoning in low back pain management through a structured, evidence-informed approach.
