GRB Physio: The Only Accredited McKenzie Clinic in Southern Africa
GRB Physio: The Only Accredited McKenzie Clinic in Southern Africa
When you walk through the doors of GRB Physio, one of the first things you’ll notice is a framed certificate on the wall: McKenzie Clinic Accreditation. For us, that certificate isn’t just decoration — it represents a standard of care, accountability, and top-class expertise in our region.
We are proud to say that GRB Physio is the only Accredited McKenzie Clinic in Southern Africa.
What does “Accredited Clinic” mean?
The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) is an internationally recognised, evidence-based system for assessing and treating spinal and extremity problems.
Not all clinicians who say they “use McKenzie” are formally recognised. The McKenzie Institute International (MII) has strict requirements for both clinicians and clinics:
-
Credentialed Clinicians – Individual physiotherapists who have completed advanced training (Parts A–D) and passed the Credentialing Exam.
-
Diploma Clinicians – Those who have gone on to complete the highest level of MDT education, the Diploma Programme.
-
Accredited Clinics – Clinics that meet international standards by employing at least one Diploma Clinician, supported by a team of Credentialed Clinicians (or those working toward it), with a commitment to regular in-service training and continuous professional development.
This layered approach ensures that accreditation is both separate from and dependent on individual qualifications — raising the bar for how care is delivered.
Why this matters for you
At GRB Physio:
-
Leadership at the highest level – Our Director, Ian Grey, holds the Diploma in MDT and serves as a faculty member of the McKenzie Institute.
-
A strong clinical team – Our physiotherapists are Credentialed Clinicians (or actively working toward credentialing) and commit to ongoing education and in-service training.
-
International recognition – Accreditation by the McKenzie Institute means our clinic has been externally validated as meeting the highest global standards of MDT practice.
For our patients, this translates to accurate assessment, effective treatment, and long-term strategies for self-managing pain and movement problems.
