Thanks for your guidance in getting me back to the CrossFit games. The exercises and spine hygiene you provided really were a game changer. I was able to compete 95% pain free which I thought was impossible a few months ago. We finished 5th in the world and I am certain this would not have been […]
After seeing several back injury experts I was not making any progress for my back injury. Reading “Back Mechanic” by Professor Stuart McGill together with consulting with him I was able to get my pain free athleticism back.
I came to Aleks desperately in pain due to spine problems, normal life seemed unattainable to me. After a few weeks of exercises, during which he showed knowledge, individual approach, commitment and care, I got back to normal life. Thanks to Aleks, the exercises have become my daily routine, and my spine is not a […]
Dr. McGill was a beacon of light during a dark and difficult time of my career. I had just suffered my first serious injury and it was debilitating, taking away from my training and causing me constant pain. Dr McGill taught me techniques and principles to follow that I use every day and have improved […]
“In 2017 I suffered a severe low back injury at work as a firefighter. I initially dealt with therapists who prescribed exercises which aggrivated my pain and I realized that their approach was not helping me. My wife found Eric and booked me an appointment. Right from the start Eric took a much better approach […]
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Sarah. Her high level observational and analytical skills and competence were evident throughout her assessment, summary and strengthening program for my particular needs. This was beautifully complemented by her kind and thoughtful approach. I learned so much! I wish the basics of back anatomy and effective movement were […]

I reached out to Professor McGill when I had been injured over a year with daily pain, no answers, and many experiments done on my body at the local hospital that turned into more pain and more questions. I thought my life as an athlete was over forever. With Prof. McGill’s guidance I was helped […]
Having a severe lower back pain I looked for a specialist who is familiar with Stuart McGill’s approach. I was lucky to find Dr. Hudon clinic close to Montreal. The assessment took 4 hours, which was equivalent to 8 normal physiotherapist visits. I left Dr. Hudon office with clear understanding and written instructions on how […]
“I have had a variety of back issues for most of my adult life. I am 57 and have always exercised regularly, but I was at the point where I was taking pain medication daily and regular physiotherapy wasn’t helping to relieve the pain. I was doing an exercise program designed for people with back […]
After my back injury, I didn’t think I would ever be able to compete again. But because of Professor McGill and his guidance to rebuild training capacity, I am back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ~ C Meredith, Body builder
After a year of dealing with intermittent lower back pain, instability & weakness I made the pilgrimage from Newcastle, UK to Canada to see Dr McGill. The simplicity of the Back Mechanic process and Stu’s no nonsense approach is precisely what I needed. I’m back training, lifting & enjoying life pain free. Forever indebted. Thank […]
