    Our guest, Dr. Mark Laslett, PhD, NZRPS, Dip.MT, Dip.MDT, is a pioneer in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and the first physiotherapist to be registered as a clinical specialist (musculoskeletal) by the New Zealand Physiotherapy Board in 2014. With over 55 years of experience, Dr. Laslett was in continuous clinical practice from 1971 until April 2024. Although now retired from clinical work, he remains actively involved in research and postgraduate education.

    Since 1985, Mark has taught short courses internationally, initially as a senior international instructor for the McKenzie Institute International (1985–1998). From 1993 to 2004, he developed and taught his own upper and lower limb courses globally. In more recent years, his teaching has focused on the lumbar spine, pelvis, hip, and the science of clinical diagnostics.

    Dr. Laslett holds diplomas in Manipulative Therapy and Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy and is an honorary life member of the New Zealand Manipulative Physiotherapists Association (NZMPA), Physiotherapy New Zealand, and the Swedish branch of the McKenzie Institute. He co-founded Southern Musculoskeletal Seminars, has taught extensively around the world on spinal and musculoskeletal diagnostics, and has authored over 45 publications, including the book Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy: The Upper Limb.


    šŸ“šYou will learn about:

    • Key findings from Dr. Laslett’s study on epidural injections for lumbar disc herniation
