Dr McGill transformed my life. Not a day goes by that I don't employ his techniques or think about him.
I wish I could meet Dr. McGill. He is the Oracle

Thank you, for introducing me to this doctor. I wish that he were my PT or more.
At your suggestion I purchased Back Mechanic. I see nothing in there about sacroiliac problems. How can a book on backs not discuss this?
Oh my goodness..how I wish I could get my life back..
🙏

First stay a way from the stress
Second learn yoga
Third you need to do some healthy sports not aggressive
Fourth choose a good bed 🛌 😴
And fifth see this one its can help you alot

Me too😢
Look up his lecture to a group in Pensacola here on RUclips. It changed my life. He gave me back my life.
@@liseerenee thank you🙏🏻
The best videos are demonstrating the stretches. Simply sitting down and talking about this for 1 hour is very boring no matter how smart this person is in back pain.
LOVE THE VIBES DOC
I am a 78 older woman with a spinal compression from a fall on June 6, 2020. Still cannot walk more than two blocks without sitting. Because of covid i couldn’t get pt, so i tried chiropractic. What can I do now?
Don’t do chiro, that’s what I was told
You definitely need PT!
Where is backfitpro located? Can anyone go for a visit?
Welp I guess I'm hitching a ride to Canada...
I was a competitive gymnast and this man saved my life! I was in university and missing classes because getting out of bed was so painful and sitting in class was unbearable. I only saw him once and his recommendations and education turned my life around. I was flexion and extension intolerant and surgery to fuse L2 and L3 was recommended. Within 6 months of my first visit I was pain free with no surgery needed. It's been 12 years and I'm still pain free. My personal trainer is the one who told me about him.
Did you see him on your own, or solicit the insurance?
If you saw him on your own, how long did it take to get an appointment? Did you contact him through his website. In other words did your trainer have direct contact, because that’s what I’d like to do.
Again Thank you for responding to my comment!
I’m happy your problem was resolved for you without surgery. Continue to enjoy Life!!😀
Thank you for sharing!!
@@Nonenayours he was still at the university when I saw him. So I emailed him and he called me a few hours later. We chatted about my issue and I went to see him with my physiotherapist a few months later. This was 12 years ago so I don't know how it works now but I'm sure Google can help you find his current contact info.
Are you able to do flexion and extension after the 6 months?
What a great recommendation, and I’m truly happy for you! Thanks so much for sharing.
This herniated disc shit can make you a mad resentful person.
Try to stay on the positive side! Negative moods can affect your growth and recovery too
Yes. As someone with it for over 6 years I can attest to this. Grumpy and just no hope. Pain sucks mostly back pain and sicatica
Leg length discrepancy?
He doesn't want to sound arrogant so I'll say it for him, you pay him out of pocket and a 3 hour appointment is expensive but it's effectiveness saves you so much money and so much pain in the long run it's extremely worth it.
Best money I’ve spent
@@BrodeyDoverosx Without a doubt. I had had to quit gymnastics and quit coaching is and had easily spent thousands on various physical rehab people and I am not exaggerating, I haven't spent a penny on it since and went back to coaching gymnastics no problem. This man's passion for healing people is so admirable.
How expensive? Hundreds or thousands?
@@JohnSmith-zs1bf less than $400 but that was 12 years ago
Omg! Thankyou for letting us know about this doctor. You are making me so anxious to see him. I am getting Chiro treatments for this doctor right now but it is not helping. I went for an adjustment on Monday and the doctor pulled something on my left side of my lower back that has me in pain. I had a sciatic nerve flared up 8 weeks ago I could not walk for 6 of those weeks. I just started to walk slowly. But my doctor sent me for Chiro treatment and now this pain happened and I can't walk properly again. I am so worried. Oh how I wish I could get to see this doctor. Can you please tell me where in Canada is he located. I can tell my daughter who is living there to go see him because she suffers with her feet problems as well.
Nice to meet you, it's James from Texas, USA. 🇺🇸 I hope everyone here has a painless day, you are stronger than the average.
Thankyou so much James!
I'm an expert in backpain too ***screams in agony***
@mono lo-fi minimal I can relate, I really can. Back pain is the absolute worst!
You can learn yoga and also the stress can do that pain .and don't sleep in a bad bed
Also you can see this product he is help alot

I feel u , 3 back surgery
@@androidsimultorgames5040 It's not as easy as that. Yoga is not the beginning and end all. Stop selling it as the one and only solution.
Great book from a much much honourable man , I hope he can train a lot of Master Clinicians around the world . I would be a much more pain free planet. I hope they give him the gold medal during the Olympics .
This guy is amazing. Not just an expert and eminence in what he does but I love what I can perceive from his personality.
Loving this interview. Too much knowledge in one head ❤️
Just listening to Dr McGill made me feel much less pain. I just don't feel like a victim anymore. Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Same! I was tired of playing the victim who was helpless when there’s great men like him out there to explain how to solve my problem of long time back pain . I’m forever grateful for his passing of knowledge and now take my life in to my own hands
Well maybe we play the victim because we are victims. And there really is no way out
This was such A treat to watch! I enjoyed every second listening to both of these gentlemen and their expertise. I found this relaxing and extremely helpful in understanding the mechanics of the body as it pertains to back pain. These approaches should be mainstream, A standard for all medical practitioners. I feel that so many if not most individuals are caught up in what I refer to as bandaid medicine. I wish all doctors/specialists were as thorough and practical in their approach as this man. I believe that this book will make for an educational and eye opening read so I cant wait to get A copy for myself.
He's a PhD. doctor, not a medical doctor, so that explains everything in your comment. Also, his approach seems straightforward in the presentation here, but it's extremely involved, and these things could not simply be added to medical school. Medical doctors certainly need to be better connected to rehabilitation professionals to recognize when a referral there is needed though.
It's unfortunate there is such a disconnect between medicine and physical rehab but having studied both, I can tell you that they're very different, and in most cases, the type of people in medical school would not be successful in the rehabilitation stuff anyways.
For reference to support my understanding of this, Stu and I have the same undergraduate degree; he went on to a masters, PhD, and sees patients in a rehab setting. I went to medical school after undergrad. However, before medical school I was his patient and also attended his course for rehab professionals. Most of the students in my medical school class were completely unable to follow when I was talking about anything physical rehab related.
"Are you getting something out of this?" More than he can ever imagine.
I want to know what office chair he uses and recommends along with a million other things. Or does it even matter?
I do the park bench thing on my surfboard to relieve back tightness when surfing.
What a Godsend human super hero!
Excellent interview! What a great "stache"and warm personality he has. I wish all my doctors had his wonderful bedside manner. His explanations were excellent and I did not lose my focus through the whole interview I thought it was a very enlightening interview.
Thanks for having Dr McGill on your podcast. I had a class with him in the 90's and he is great and I will order his book 😃
OG back wizard and the man that has the track record to BACK it all up. His methods have helped me go from daily prolonged flexion intolerance pain to 95% less pain, and drastically shortened episodes, requiring little pain relievers more than ice or heat and it’s gone. I understand my pain now as well. As a decade plus jiujitsu player I plan on doing a consult with a master clinician of his.
I see what you did BACK there 😅
I would love to get an assessment from a Master Clinican....jsut waiting til one appears in WI! lol
Would you recommend starting bjj with a bulging disc?
@@ez123489 yes just don’t overdo it, train with people your weight or less, and you can drill two rounds and roll one in class rather than all the rolling. Pay attention to your pain and moderate your BJJ game and approach. Don’t roll too much.
@@aeinspruch good to hear ive been itching to start but im worried im going damage myself more
This is a fantastic interview. Very professional and I love watching the rapport of these two - Dr. McGill's comment in the beginning about them grabbing beers just made me think it would be a great interview. Bob is very respectful and let Dr. McGill just talk. Thank you guys for posing this, I have learner so much from Dr. McGill as I manage my stubborn back.
you guys should try more content like this! really hoping you guys get the views you deserve! Thank you for all your help!
Hire someone to manage your RUclips account and create content ideas
Thank you for the feedback !
Dr. McGill goes the extra mile to explain and help Brad's issue. You can tell he lives to heal.
he goes the extra mile for all his patients. his assessments are incredible. During my assessment he dropped a pen on the floor and said "oh shoot can you get that for me" so I did and my mechanics in picking it up told him a lot about things contributing to my pain. Had he just asked me to bend over and touch the floor I would not have done it the same way as I picked up the pen.
@@KaitCervi Wow where is this doctor located?
@@NansGlobalKitchen Waterloo, Canada
Well said!!! He has passion for healing and excited to share his wisdom😁
Gaslighting, sell💲💲💲💲💲
I have a bulging disk in my low back and I am flexion intolerant. Also, have a herniated and 2 bulging disks in my neck and spinal canal stenosis in my neck. I recently bought back mechanic and working through the big 3, taking micro walks, and focusing on keeping a neutral spine all the time. Honestly though, after reading the book, it makes a lot of sense, but now I am confused more than ever about my neck. Dr. McGill doesn't believe in stretching and found through his research that it can make low back issues worse. He talked about how he believes the McKenzie extension stretch for the low back can potentially make it worse, depending on your specific issue. If I am understanding Stuart McGill right, its better to keep a neutral spine and focus on stiffness vs stretching because by stretching, you can trigger a pain response and make your body more pain sensitive by your brain sending more pain receptors to the site of inflammation to have "more information." What is the Stuart McGill equivalent for the neck? Do you just focus on a neutral spine, no stretching, and neck strengthening exercises that keep a neutral spine?
Did you find relief with your neck?
@@kaylauderitz8950 I saw Dr. Cambridge, his top student. Dr. McGill's wife referred me to him. My back pain is mostly better. I got neck strengthening exercises from Dr. Cambridge and steadily working on those. By not stretching my neck and doing the strengthening exercises, I reduced my pain quickly by about 40%, but I am at a sort of plateau where I stopped improving. I'm still working through higher progressions of the neck exercises and having faith it will help.
You can tell Dr. McGill is really enjoying the conversation with Bob too lol. Love it
I'm sitting here at the start of the video at about a 7/10 slowly incorporated his advice in the video and I'm down to a 3. This is so solid for fellow back pain sufferers. Shoulder blades to back pockets and bracing helped so much! Thanks!
Love the videos and a big fan of Stuart McGill. He seems to be the go to for back. Really enjoyed the conversation you guys had with him and this kind of content.
UPDATE: Just want to report that many of the pains I felt last year are GONE! Thank you Dr. Stuart McGill! The book has been just a fantastic resource. The Big 3 + New Movement patterns really have helped. It was slow going, but I felt improvements month-by-month since October of last year. This year has been better too!
I'm able to sit and work at my desk again, able to endure long drives, lay comfortably on beds/sofas, my hips don't hurt if I sleep on my sides, no more Femoral Nerve Pain, Sciatica gone!!! Many relapses, but McGill gave me the understanding and knowledge to be familiar with my body and the pains I felt.
To anyone here, please get the book and follow it. You will improve! Stay with it.
... what is best PT for having the shopping cart syndrome..
See walking was my relief and strength building in my mid section and now I cant walk more than 5 ft. it was 20 ft.before this last surgery.Barely lifting a gallon of milk now .My surgeon upon telling him this he looked me in the face and said, well if you lost wait my surgery would help you feel better.Iwas floored I've gained wait because I'm completely imobile and can no longer walk ,or ride a bike ,or excersise.I never thought at 19 when I first developed debilitating symptoms that id still be dealing with the exact same problems and be debilitated at 50.
Keep hope! You are amazing and incredible. 😊
Bob, that was excellent. For the first time in a long time, I have hope. Book ordered. I wish you guys could do the assessment, I would fly out to see you. Thank you to Dr. McGill.
Go on his website- he has certified clinicians that he has trained.
Thank you for providing this wonderful information Bob and Brad. This book by Dr. McGill sounds amazing. As always, you provide such a fabulous service and I do appreciate all of your efforts to educate us all. Thank you!
This guy is incredible. Talk about make it easy to understand! Thank you.
What an awesome interview, Bob. Please organise a future 2nd interview with Dr McGill. I’ve just ordered his book that comes with a video component. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Well done Bob. Best wishes.
I bought his book Back Mechanic but returned it. It was a waste of time as there was nothing that he hasn't explained in his earlier book or on RUclips. Don't bother with the book, just watch his videos on YT.
Most excellent, on-point and truly educational expert!! One can easily note his empathy and care for those in pain; wishing to share his pool of knowledge!!
How can I consult Dr stuart McGill online?? Can anyone pls tell me the procedure for it
L3/L4 L4/L5 S1 herniated with sciatica down left leg. Using Bob and Toms channel along with McGills book Back Mechanic and McKenzie Method Treat Your Own Back I have successfully improved my condition to 70% over 120 days. You must commit to the excersises and understand you probably won't see immediate results. Also you must reprogram yourself in regard to posture. DONT GIVE UP. Stay mentally and physically strong. It's a long tough journey.
Geneal Jefferson. I hurt my back 37 years ago. I have a herniated disk in L 4 L5 area. I have pain going down the front& back of my leg. I hurt so bad. Can't walk well. I also have sciatica too. Will neuro surgery help me. Geneal Jefferson.
I'm a retired RN and fitness instructor. Surely appreciate this Q&A session. Currently having a bout of sciatica nerve irritation. Working on stretches etc that I viewed on Bob and Brads Utube videos.. I've found that sitting esp with one leg crossed exaggerates my symptoms. Trying to retrain to keep both my feet on the floor and stay connected to both sitsbones. Using ice and heat alternately. Four visits to the chiropractor with only temporary results. My self treatment seems to be gradually working. Patience is key and pacing my urges to do spring yard work which is what got it started:)
A good stretch for my life-long sciatica is standing on step, and with upright back and ahnd on support, alternate heel-drops, the other foot firmly with the whole sole supporting. I count slowly to 10-15 and move very cautiously. I do this both proactively and to release when in pain. Which stretch is your best?
Can you give me your opinion on getting nerve block. I am in pain.
Thanks,I'm asking you as it appears you are having success.
How are you doing? Did you get his book?
Inversión tables kick ass and they made me taller by 2 inches at age 31 by cure my degenerative disc desease.
guys, could you a reivew video of the Kneesoertoesguy channel on YT , he is big into ligament and joint strength etc. good longevity philosophy
How many people were forced to endure intense suffering because they were unable to see a doctor during this viral madness? Unforgivable. Thanks, Bob and Brad, for having this excellent guest. I’ll be buying his book.
I'm a Nurse in the UK, threw my back out at the beginning of covid and had to wait 5 months for my MRI and 7 months for first physio appt. All while being expected to continue working. Unforgivable is right.
@ProcyonAlpha sorry this happened to you. those were the wait times in Ontario before COVID, glad to hear the UK wasn't as bad.
It’s ongoing. I’ve been waiting for any help at all since November last year and except for ‘ you’re waiting for the neurosurgeon’ I have received no help at all, other than what I’ve done for myself.
What a great and instructive discussion. I have grade 2 spondy in my L4-L5 and this helped me immensely.
It is a real honour to have Stuart McGill using our teaching models.
I find these guys in every mcgill vid xD
Wow! What an incredible interview! I’ve gone from ballet dancer to weight lifter and everything in between; as a Personal Trainer with 40+ years experience, my Wellderly clientele will continue reaping benefits from my program, thanks to two truly passionate people like you!❤️
I wish you would’ve had him talk about sacroiliac joint dysfunction or a hyper mobile Pelvis
We will put this on our to do list if we are able to get him back again!
Dr. Lock (Andrew lock strength) just posted a perfect explanation on Instagram.
@@BrodeyDoverosx I want to hear McGill discuss it. It’s not mentioned in his BM book much if at all. He has a video diagnosing Brian Carroll with it. But never any mention of SIJD or the complications of treating a hypermobile pelvis.
I studied “Low Back Disorders” for my personal trainer certifications, and after watching this video, I just bought “Back Mechanics”. Dr. Stuart McGill is amazing.
Oh he's so right about PTSD and back pain! I have it and so does my husband because of my pain from Tarlov Cysts and the many, many drs I've seen.
What a fabulous podcast. I really enjoyed this podcast and all the information that was provided. I will be buying his book today. Please have him come back and speak again.
Hi! Some countries from amazon website doesn’t have back mechanic book. Eg.like India,, even if der is some can’t afford that book . So people just don’t keep saying buy back mechanic book. Have to understand other people sistuation. I’m from India too, currently living in USA, I understand people from India everyone can’t afford. Instead of that, it will be helpful for those people who can’t find the book, this channel can share his book information to people’s. For more information one can follow his RUclips channel called remisovran, he will share McGill information and his back mechanic. I hope this helps for people who can’t find or afford his book.
Watching this and Reading McGill's book about what was actually causing my back pain and what to do to prevent and help reduce it an eliminate it has made me fell the best I have in many years. I no longer wake up at night in pain. I no longer wake up in the morning barely able to get out of bed. I'm finally able to lift weights without fear of having to stop due to pain or wake up the next morning feeling even worse than normal!
Thank you Dr. McGill for all the work to figure out how the back works and then sharing that info in a way that I can use to reduce and pretty much eliminate the pain I had and get back to feeling good again! I try and share it with all the people I know that have any back pain at all, which is most of the people I know. Some refuse to believe but they do so at their own loss!
I really struggle with 24:37. The memory of that "gun" is with me even on good days. You psych yourself out thinking, "If I don't provoke the gun..." which leads to decreased mobility and then back pain. It's a vicious circle.
A great interview but isn't it a shame most of us can't afford to see a Dr like Stuart Mcgill.I live in France and tried everything, Alexander method,yoga, pain specialist in Switzerland via zoom, acupuncture, a nutritionist,physio, general doctor etc nobody can help me and it really effects my quality of life. I'm a young 66 year old and feel trapped by the pain.
Does he have a video ?
Have you tried aquatic therapy
@@saraiday1646 Since I posted this I changed my diet to gluten free and lactose free I was already sugar free. I started taking specific supplements, joined a Qigong class, walk daily and the results are amazing I am actually like new !! Pain free .
Just ordered the book.. On Amazon
Fasting on water for several days whilst cleansing the colon daily can help the body regenerate. After all the body is 98%+ water and so if you excrete the old water through drinking fresh water and through urination, you can cleanse your blood stream of toxins. Once the blood is cleansed, your cells get to work, regenerating and fixing problems in the body.
agreed
Seems such a genuinely decent lovely man , not a hint of arrogance despite his obviously mega successful practice.
He is one of the most humble people I have ever met. I think I was more "star struck" meeting him than I would have been meeting anyone "Hollywood famous" lol
I'm 74 and feel 90! I'm getting his book and hopefully I will be able to walk more upright for more than 5 minutes. It's my last hope for some pain relief after my surgery. I love your way of presenting the info..wish I could afford to see you..God bless you in your work.
How are you doing Ms. Patricia? I hope you're doing better. I'm 60 and feel the same.
I listened to this on Apple Podcasts, but then wanted to come to RUclips to watch. I’ll be 69 this year, and mostly I haven’t had a lot of problems with back pain until lately. I finally decided to see a PT, but now I’m a little concerned by some of his recommendations. Thank you so much for this; I’m getting the book.
51:04 Now that's really impressive!
I might’ve found my new role model :o
It's ridiculous. Everything Bob and brad teach and tell us to do----- Dr McGill says not to do.
@@danskdna8550 there is no opposing view regarding one’s health. There’s the right information, or the wrong information. There’s no in between
@@hammill444 as new research is discovered suggested methods change. Many of the Bob and Brad exercises are based on the Makenzie method. Having a look at McGill's book, he builds on the McKenzie method but does not advocate the knee to hip exercises. There are many things that he agrees with such walking, proper posture, cobra pose (mcgill suggest a slightly modified version)
I have spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal, bulging disc. Standing up straight, and in one place are big issues for me. I had a spinal fusion about 11 years ago. I did well until about 4 years ago.
Since I’ve been to PT three times no resolution. Now I’m seeing a neurosurgeon, and he wants me to do P T again, and take the injections, which I’ve done also... very painful only lasting 1 week or so , not 3 months as they say it’s suppose to. Is there a fix for me? Prognosis does not seem too good. I’m bent over from not being able to stand straight up. I was told that the six hour surgery should last for the rest of my life. I was 54 years when I had that fusion surgery. Now I’m told there is degeneration going on. What suggestions do have if any, for me??
Buy his Back Mechanic book
@@KaitCervi I will. Thank you!
Have you found it helpful?
... the book
@@backfru that’s simply not true! I was working out... walking 4 miles 3 times a week, in addition to doing stretches. Physcial Therapy at least 3 different times, 3 months 3 times a week !
No, I didn’t see the comment by D Smith... but who is he. Is he a doctor. Your comment is generalized. Everyone’s body is different. No one thing works for everyone.
Do you know him?🤔
My problem seems to be more neurological than just joint pain. So in my opinion your statement is unrealistic!
I walk regardless , still. The best I can
29:00, park bench decompression 38:00, Short stop squat.
What a fantastic guest!!! I was just listening to him on the Squat University podcast yesterday, riveting stuff. He’s so informative, you can’t just listen once. He is such a fount of knowledge. Thanks, this was excellent, he is the guy!!!
I have listened to him countless times and have met him in person. I learn something every single time!
This was one of Dr. McGill's best interviews I've seen.
Happy you liked it
All I can is THANK YOU for your free and generous advice. This Dr McGill whom you clearly revere does not look like he does anything without getting highly paid. I am sure he deserves it . But you and Brad are angels!
How we can get consultation from you ?
I am 24 years old and I am on bed since 1 year
No physio is able to understand my problem .
Thanks for the information, some of us need hope it’s hard to stay positive in pain
Never give up, there's always hope!
So true it is hard to stay positive when you wake up in pain everyday and go to your doctor and they have no answers for you expect to write prescription for meds. I feel so hopeless.
@@NansGlobalKitchen hang in there buddy get it healed right do the stretches every day invest in the lifestyle needed. I do way less and do oven ready meals and do less dishes but it comes down to not letting it heal wrong or not giving it enough time to heal. I’m still not able to do much an have months of therapy left but we can come out of this with the knowledge to help ourself not get hurt there again. Hopefully your luck changes and I hope the pain gets lower like mine bro. Fight to the last breath fight light hell, losing weight is essential if it’s a back problem. Love you whoever you are even if you would be my political lefty enemy, we’ll get through this. The journey is painful but the journey we must endure.
@@youtubeisajoke2546 Me, too. I'd support any racist Trump-voter with my firmest wish to heal and get pain-free. Find help and support! Take good care of yourself - body, mind and soul! Be careful with whom you listen to. Assess what I tell below and consider its worth for you, I share what has helped me and mine. Be careful with medication, you might get addicted and the pain is a language that you need to learn, not to ignore! Try warmth and cold and breathing and relaxing and supports.
You need healthy nutrition and maybe supplements to be on the sure side, not just for your muscles, but also for nerves, bones, ligaments and tendons, too. Books on nutrition by Ornish and Mateljan have helped me.
You need lots of rest, like it or not - try to find supported positions were the injured part doesn't hurt so much. It is better that you sleep and rest in small portions than even less. Give you body time to change, adapt, heal.
Don't do anything that makes the pain worse. Keep the part that hurts absolutely still in the least painful position. Move very cautiously. Try to move, alternate tension and relaxation in body-parts that don't cause more pain. Because you need all the fluids in the body to circulate, or you will not heal.
Here in the middle of the pandemic I got an herniated disc again. I followed my advice above. In my mind's eye I also constructed a muscle harness round my core to keep that part of the spine still. I knew it would cause a problem later, but I couldn't get to the hospital, and they would not have done anything for me anyways, because other problems, among them that painkillers don't suit me.
Well, in three months the bulge had gone, but now 6 months later I very gently try to dissolve that muscle-hardness I created by keeping so tense and motion-less around the herniated disc. I now very gently wriggle and bend, not for long, but shallowly, very shortly (I counted first to four and moved half an inch, a centimeter). No yoga-poses for now. No lifting, no running, no bending. Cushions and pillows to prop pain-free positions. I hope you, too, find methods and knowledge that help and support you. Try to trust in the self-healing power of the body and mind, and if you listen with attention to your body and your inner wisdom, it will tell you beyond any ideology. You can do what you need be doing with patience and gentleness! All the best wishes!
WOW what an absolutely lovely ,charming man who takes his learnt expertise to help his patients take control of their lives.A true medic .Thankyou so much for having this gentleman on .Definitely getting his book.
Thank you Bob for being such a great PT to bring us Dr. Mcgill. I’m currently in pain and 63 yo. I’d love to know how and where I could get. PT as good as him. Any suggestions?
I want to know the same😔
Me too. The PT I’ve tried - one of five was ok
Hey Bob and Brad what's up lads!!! Hey I've been following you dudes since 2018 when I first injured my rotator cuff and you guys have healed me thank you and I pass my knowledge to my gym buddies and I mention that you guys taught me everything I know 😉 thanks fellas
Thank you Bob for sharing your interview with Dr. Mc Gill, he was so informative and you asked some great questions. I like how he explains the cause of so many back ailments and how to repair your back.
He is the best!
NOOOOO! Please don't stop using the original intro song! It's classic!
What an educational loooong super well explained video!!! I have fibromyalgia and neck arthritis, also hip problems, I"m always looking for new information to learn other alternatives. Thank you Bob for introducing this amazing doctor. I'll check out his book and I hope to be able to see him in Ontario....I used to live in Ottawa, I should have stayed there :)
I need to find a good doctor like this doctor in the Orlando FL area, that takes my insurance as well. Because everywhere you go they are only about the money. I am in pain and the doctors I saw so far is not much help. I cry everyday because of pain 😔😪
Don’t give up. The doctors never told me to walk. I started slowly and now am up to 6,000 steps a day.
Excellent information. I have been unable to walk without a walker 2years. I fell down 1 steps. I believe our bodies heap themselves. Going for Mri in a, few, weeks. Lumbar, disc and Arthritis cause me pain. I walk every day short walks. Legs feel like rubber and ankles sell up.. Feel dizzy when I lean forward and do not know what else, to do. Is there a number to your office. Thanks. I am in Canada. Thx
Doing weights after a hip replacement, and broken neck ! ,, really need a follow up video with Dr. McGill
Search his name in RUclips, ha has a load of content
That. Was. Amazing. I'm growing a mustache. And I may or may not be dude.
You showed Dr. McGill book much to quickly + quickly removed it out from sight. I was unable to get the tital, OR look at the book cover. You already are familiar with him + his books!!!! I am trying to listen, learn + understand what you are talking about. BACK PAIN. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION OR MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY THE 2 OF YOU HAVE.
You can press pause on videos
I wish this guy was in australia, I really want the leg pulling method and vaccum the disc back in. I believe in this because coincidentally I asked my wife to pull my leg while I was having a pain attack and it felt really good, so i can understand by pulling the leg ur creating decompression vaccum and possibly with the right movements u can pop it back in. But u need a skilled person like de McGill
I can relate to this doctor
I'm a plumber. I get a lot of calls where the customer has called others who couldn't solve the problem.
What a wonderful interview! I love the doctor's demeanor and his impressive knowledge. Please bring him back. I'm definitely ordering his book!
Thank you for the education. I feel empowered to try some movements instead of feeling like my back and neck are hopeless.
Bob is one of the few people I have heard who pronounces ‘emeritus’ correctly.
Can it be that important?
@@shirleymason7697 ha! Probably only to me 🤗
1:05:12 McGill’s thought on Mckinze method
Excellent interview,as,I suffer with backache and neck nerves problem,listening Dr McGill make more sense now.thank you .
I believe him 1000% more because of that magnificent headset.
good argument
Very extensive elaborate and excellent back pain world known and senior doctor with your expertise intellectual questions and practical solutions . Total interactions very interesting highly useful for every one thank you and many more are expected from you sir
I am really confused, I thought Bob and Brad support the Mckenzie method, which is the right method?
Same problem here
Cool of Bob to dive into it.... it sounds like it helps for bigger people, cat/camel for rest of us ( my understanding). I’ve been doing McKenzie for the past couple years.
@@shishirpanthee1880 McGill has tested this. I believe he said it tends to work better for posterolateral herniations , broad based disc bulges as much. There really is no "right" method....depends on specific injury. he also likes holding for 5-10 mins in mckenzie position instead of the the mckenzie's recommendation of 80-100 reps. it can "potentially" increase facet/joint arthritis if done that many reps for months on end
**broad based NOT as much**
@@jasonmoniz2459 I know that
does dr mcgill have a youtube channel?
I just bought 3 copies of his book. One for me, another for my son (someone at his work recommended it) and another for a family member. I am so happy to see the doctor on your show explaining his back therapy information!
Would love to hear him speak about Adhesive Arachnoiditis and Cauda Equina syndrome. This is an iatrogenic condition which is progressive and causes significant back pain with nerve involvement, paralysis.
Painful it is !
Absolutely there is periformis syndrome---and you cured me! Have had bouts of sciatica in different places since injuring my back in college 50 years ago, and then again 15 years ago which resulted in laminectomy and discectomy. A movement on an x-ray table about 4 years ago (for my knee) caused a click in my back hip and a terrible bout of what I thought was sciatica again. Got myofascial release and PT. After watching many of our videos I began to wonder if it was Perifromis. Saw the video where you hung your leg off the side of the table, and got that click to release about 5 different times in a few months until the pain stopped altogether. That was about 2 years ago. THANK YOU!
send me the link to this video please
Janice, do you remember the name of the video? Thank you.
