Why Do Our Backs Hurt? | Dr Stuart McGill

Dr Stuart McGill is a professor emeritus at the University of Waterloo and a world expert in back pain.
Dr McGill has worked with some of the best athletes in the world across pretty much every sport you can imagine as a spinal specialist, so if anyone can give us some advice about how to cope with back pain, it's him.
On today's episode expect to learn why backs are so problematic, how much of back pain is due to lifestyle choices or training methodology, how much of an impact desk work is having on our spinal health and why recovery from a back injury can be so slow and hard to define.

“Almost impossible to motivate the uninjured” That is the truth. Thank you Dr. McGill!

Oh boy, I would give everything that I had this knowledge before I got injured

[@rajinbin]

How am I just finding this and I have scrolled through all your videos on you're page. This is so important better than some of the other existential things you have now.
PS you need to reorganize your videos so I can see from #1 to 500+ in order so I don't miss something like this. I also think it would help grow your subs because you have such a wide range of things that you have addressed.
