Professor Stuart Mcgill Hello, I saw you at a seminar in Manchester and you had me up on the couch and manipulated me a little, in front of the group! I was suffering from back pain and sciatica; I had seen various doctors and they recommended a surgical procedure l4/5 discectomy/laminectoy you may remember that […]
Dear Dr. McGill, I am the physical therapist from XXX you may remember speaking with me a several months back when I sought your knowledge and expertise to recover from a lumbar herniated disc and to ultimately return to bodybuilding and recreational MMA. Since then I have been employing the techniques outlined in your 2 […]
Stu: I feel really fortunate to have had the opportunity to talk with you. The discussion helped me to think through a strategy to relieve my highly localized morning back pain. The combination of the psoas stretching with ipsilateral shoulder flexion and intensive strengthening of gluteus maximus on a 4-way hip machine has provided remarkable […]
Hi Doctor McGill, I just wanted to let you know it is my one year anniversary of seeing you, tomorrow October 5th if there is such a thing as “spine” anniversaries. I am doing so much better!!! No more spondy, what I used to call dropping a few floors when walking and the stenosis isn’t […]
Dear Dr. McGill, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to show me some exercises a few weeks ago. I do the exercises almost daily and they truly help reduce the pain, as well as lessen the muscular imbalance! Thanks again!!
Stu, I’m sorry we have had such a hard time touching base. I just wanted to update you on my situation and ask for some advice in the next few months as I begin to train again. In short, when I went to my apt on the 5th I was fully expecting to make the […]
Hello Stuart, You saw me in consultation, a number of years ago, and I am pleased to say that I benefited a lot from it—I am doing well and I hope that I will continue to do well. My awareness of your clinical expertise made me suggest to a former student of my wife and […]
Thank you so much for the seminar. The information I learned from you is invaluable. Like I said before, we develop and administer fitness and wellness programs for staff and faculty at XXXX. I adhere to your research and writings almost exclusively. It’s to the point now that when someone brings me some new “cutting-edge” […]
Good evening, I just wanted to thank you once again for your help with my back on Friday at the XXX conference. It’s great to finally have a diagnosis to work with after months of being told its over exertion only to have it return at the first sign of return to exercise. I truly […]
Stu, thought I’d let you know that I think I’m making good progress. The feeling is almost completely back in my baby toe. The pain is much, much less and I haven’t taken any Tylenol during the daytime for several days. I can’t believe that I could be SO much better in 10 days, since […]
Hi Stu! My back is great and apparently as long as I keep my back in a vertical position I can handle a good amount of weight with no pain whatsoever. I am able to do split squats with 100 kg and I feel great. I have also started to do one-arm pull ups with […]
Dr. McGill, I’m 49 years old and I have battled partially herniated disks, central disk extrusions, osteoarthritis, an ‘unstable lumbar spine’, for more than half my life. Luckily, for decades, the pain was ‘on and off’. A little over a year ago, however, (after a transatlantic flight), my back went to ‘all excruciating, all the […]
