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 […]
Stuart McGill is one of the most influential people I’ve ever met when it comes to my training. I still use and teach his methods years after learning them.

“Before I met Keith I was in excruciating pain. I couldn’t walk, sit or lay down without having acute nerve and back pain. I saw my doctor, massage therapist, physio therapist and chiropractor.

Jay gave me a thorough assessment, treated the injury and then taught me how to move pain-free. He fine tuned my exercise regime so I […]
“I am happy to report that as of this last visit the surgeon conceded that I have indeed completely avoided surgery. He no longer thinks surgery is the answer for me and told me to “keep doing what you are doing.” Despite this being a workers compensation situation he said to me that he did […]

“I had been having frequent bouts of low back pain for years, and it got to the point early last spring that my regular chiropractor told me there was nothing more he could do for me. I went to my doctor and got x-rays. He said it was arthritis and degenerative disc disease—normal for my […]
“I had seen just about everyone within a 50 km radius for my back injury with no results over the course of 8 months.
