McGill Method Certified Practitioners

Find a McGill Method Certified Practitioner

A McGill Method Certified Practitioner has training in assisting clients in reducing the risk of disabling low back pain and injury, optimizing their health outcomes and enhancing their performance. The McGill Method Certified Practitioner has studied how to use information obtained from history taking and movement assessment to better match corrective/therapeutic and performance enhancement exercise. They will also have been exposed to nuances of technique to reduce a client’s pain.

McGill Method Certified Practitioners are not qualified to address people with substantial back pain mechanisms or pathologies. Such people are directed to the McGill Method Master Clinician.

This is the only certification recognized by Backfitpro Inc. and required before pursuing elite clinical standards to become a McGill Method Master Clinician. Please look for this seal of authentication.

Legal Notice:

Backfitpro Inc. assesses the competency of the McGill Method Certified Practitioner with McGill’s original material. Backfitpro Inc. is not responsible for the McGill Method Certified Practitioner’s decisions and actions with individual clients/patients.
