Hi Dr. McGill, XXXXXX… Thanks for your time. I know you are a busy man. Also, thank you for your time spent on research. You have changed the way we clinicians look at the spine and I’m grateful for that every single day when working with patients! Thanks again,
I’m not sure you remember me, I am the Oregon Spanish professor who came to see you last April for low back pain. . You might recall that I had told you that I was experiencing relief from a procedure (Relievant clinical trial) that ablated the basivertebral nerves in the vertebrae. I was unblinded yesterday […]
Hey Stu, I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you. When I met you at the workshop in XXXX a few years ago I was in agony and barely training at all. I was hurt and depressed. Since meeting you, learning from you, applying what I have learned I have overcome by […]
I read the article in “T-Nation” re: your opinion of Crossfit. I appreciated your comment about how a back injury can be considered a “TUITION” into the school of proper spine mechanics! I had a good physical therapist who agreed with your ideas, & focused his exercises on spine stiffness. I try to respect the […]
Dr McGill, First off, I want to thank you for finding time in your busy schedule to see me. As I’m sure it will come as no surprise to you, I still feel compelled to mention that my appointment was far and away, both literally and figuratively, the most unique assessment I’ve ever had! The […]
Stu, Thanks again for all that you have done for me. If you EVER need anything, please let me know. I had a GREAT time with you, once again and learned so much. You are a very special person and I’m very blessed to say that not only have I met you, but I consider […]
Stu, I am doing remarkably better! You were definitely right that my issues stem from postural weakness and poor movement habits. I was great with my posture for the first several weeks and still constantly correct my old lazy habits. The lumbair is amazing for me at work and I have recommended it to several […]
March 9th 2014 It was mid January 2013 when I was experiencing lower back pain shooting down my right leg and into my foot. I then attended several appointments with a chiropractor and massage therapist only to have the pain get worse. I then went to see two different physiotherapists for approximately four months two […]
Dr. McGill’s research and investigations around ‘low back pain sydromes’ has helped me troubleshoot dysfunction in many of the athletes and fitness enthusiasts I see. I began following his work in 2004 during my Master’s degree in Exercise Science and still use his methods today. As a Faculty member in the Department of Kinesiology at […]
On a personal note – I was diagnosed with a spondylolysis back in 2001 and was initially told I could never run, lift, play sports, etc – swimming and stretching was all I’d be able to do. I came across your articles and books – they taught me how to be strong, functional, and active. […]
