About Dr. Stephen McKenzie

PT, DPT, Cert. MDT, SFMA. Owner & Great Neck Clinic Director.

Dr. McKenzie earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Old Dominion University in 2011, with clinical rotations focused on orthopedics and sports medicine. Before PT school he earned a B.S. in Business from Virginia Tech in 2007, double majoring in Finance and Management.

Since graduating, he has built out his clinical skills with certification in the McKenzie Method (MDT) for mechanical diagnosis and treatment of back and neck pain, trigger point dry needling, and spinal manipulation. He has also completed extensive training in running medicine, including foot and ankle pathologies, lower quarter injuries, and video gait analysis, and he holds a Titleist Performance Institute certification to evaluate how a golfer’s movement connects to swing efficiency.

He treats athletes at every level, from recreational weekend competitors to semi-pro and professional players. Dr. McKenzie continues to host ODU student interns at Direct Performance every year.
