Awesome man

Wow! Gives one hope. Thanks for sharing.

Remember : " The mind gives in before the body does"

Can you please share information about physio based on his teaching? Can I connect you through email?

Beautiful post.

That’s literally physical and occupational therapy

He truly is. he has just done another awesome chat with Peter Attia on the Drive podcast. Great info.

He thinks and uses logic and science and actually tests, collects data, and thinks again. People don't do this but they're so sure when they make claims about x or y. People suck.

He makes money and so do his clinicians. $1500.00 for the first visit. Followed by $350 follow-up visits. Book sales. Speeches. BS products. Video "consultation". They all make money off our pain and suffering. Selling false hope.

​@@7THxSIGN how do you know it is false

@@kadijaish I spent thousands of dollars seeing a McGill Master Clinician. Did the 3 hour in person assessments and multiple follow ups. Even had a video call with Brian Carroll. I read Back Mechanic and The Gift of Injury. Practiced their rehab program daily for over a year. It did nothing for my pain. Your only hope for getting plain free is time and not re-injuring it. Could take a year. Could take a decade. It’s possible it wlll never get better as well. That’s where surgery comes in. Disc once injured are NEVER the same. Don’t believe all this BS KZfaq “consultation” experts. They just want your money.

​​@@7THxSIGN try prolotherapy or prp , where they use stem cells to make those discs repair themselves better than before and almost as new but not as good as new , more like 80 Percent to that of a new disc

its a great book. get in touch if you need any help www.disc-pro.com

Meanwhile, you could try getting "The back mechanic" by Stuart McGill. It's pretty cheap or you could search for it online. DO the self asessment and apply all knowledge there thoroughly. Maybe you won't need a private assessment after all.

@@ionescho this^ he mentioned that the book is extremely helpful for those who cannot find a clinician. Im about to buy the book. I have nothing to loze

​@@joes1941how did it go? Did you buy the book ?

This is saddening to hear cus I have severe back pain

@@BigDees19 I'm sorry you are going through this, but I understand. How long have you been in pain and what have you tried?

I’m sorry you’re still in pain! Did your mri show any hemangiomas or anything else besides the obvious culprits?

@@RU-rf5bk thank you. My MRI showed the disc bulge at L5. There was nothing else noted.

@7THxSIGN how are you getting on now?

Exactly my thoughts - as a tennis player with old martial arts & rugby injuries I need a long term evidence based strategy. His book is going on everyone’s Christmas present list

All in the mind a cliche check out AMIT dr Buhler

@@jeremyvanvlymen7191 check out AMIT Dr Buhler

Same here. Before injury i was a competitive fighter ever since i was 8yrs old. Parents had me in muay thai and japanese jiujitsu from age 5 due to bullying. first time i was ever punched in the face i just turned 5 and was hit by a 9yr old bully wearing a gold ring. Busted my eye wide open. Started doing mma at 18, at 21 got slammed real bad, whole spine felt like it was being cooked by a blowtorch and electrocuting me. Pain is 24/7. im 34 now and lost all of my 20s. Each day is just trying to survive. The physio person i saw treated me like i was an idiot who knew nothing about physical fitness etc despite them knowing my sports history. Not once did she ever even touch my spine. my sessions were her having me on spin cycle for ten mins then stupid stretches, nothing else. Absolutely ridiculous. My injuries are excessive. At t9-10 the spinal cord itself is twisted into the vertebrae and you can literally see on the mri the csf fluid being backed up below the point of impingement, above it you dont see much fluid. Think of it as a hose pipe with a kink in it not allowing water to flow properly. Its this thats causing all this pain, yet docs treat me like an idiot despite the fact ive spent all these years studying the spine and can clearly communicate with the docs with the terminology they themselves use. I get disregarded alot because of my age which is bs, i know for a fact if i was 60 this wouldve been resolved in months 😞😢 Theres also several endplate fractures and bulges, the bulges arent horizontal, outwards like normally do, theyre vertical into the vertebra and fractures themselves. Sorry for the rant guys lol im sure you guys understand how torturous and annoying it is

Did you manage to resolve the issue?

He has two books and clinicians on his website he has personally trained around the world

He gives solutions in the books he’s written and in the multitude of interviews he’s given.. you gotta look it up he’s not gonna deliver it to you…

thank you. He makes the material very relatable. takes a great mind to do that.

works a dream for certain instabilities. make sure you have an accurate diagnosis.

Discs heal on their own with time, you need a specific assessment and specific exercises, because everyone is unique. So with these you can adapt the tissues, strengthen the core, so they take off pressure off the spine.

Modic changes are really difficult to address. Mine are type 1 at L5-S1 - doing red light therapy (with near infrared light) has helped my pain a lot.

​@@vidz953what's the difference in infrared red light or red light or near-infrared red light

Tarlov cysts.. read your own MRI and if it mentions TCs send it to Dr Frank Feigenbaum in TX for a free consult. I don’t work for him but I’m sick and tired of radiologists and doctors not mentioning that TCs can and do cause pain.

Internet for McGill method trained physical therapists. And do the “golfers pickup” do not bend at the waist. Keep your back straight no bending or twisting. Strengthen the core. McGill stresses walking too. Have you had an MRI? You must have scoliosis..?

Hey. How are you getting on? I have just set up a spine specialist service www.disc-pro.com if you are still in need. Prof McGill has just done another amazing podcast discussing this with Peter Attia

Have you ever had an mri?

@@eastcoastkickz4891 yes I have had an MRI.. Didnt show anything but arthritis . Pain radiates into my hip and lower right side of my lower back and when it's real.bad it goes up to mid back on right side and down to my calf. On side of my leg not down the back.except my right buttock has a numb sensation . A lot of inflammation along with numbness from back of my right hip down to the ankle . Had this for since since my 30 's .. I'm 67 now.. I exercise and walk everyday and go to chiro and physio. I get some relief there but if I do house work or any lifting or anything movement that's repetitive it's triggered . Yard work ,shoving snow brings it on with a vengeance.. so needless to say I avoid doing anything but the bare essentials , like dishes and bed and dusting , laundry. Anything else and I'm knackered . 😱

@@triciaodonnell7026 when you do anything considered it s a heavy work, please wear a support belt or lifting belt. Dont wear it 247 cuz it weaken your abs. But once in a while it is okay.

Do you take calcium and omega 3s to help with bone loss and joint stiffness. There’s a wealth of info online and on KZfaq try it to see what works for you. And like McGill says if you continue bad lifting and bending behaviors you won’t get well. Back pain isn’t a genie in a bottle miracle you gotta do the work to get better..

@@triciaodonnell7026 look up nerve flossing, good luck.

The issue is not the disc being injured but how the disc can to be injured. If you don’t fix that then you are just going to re-injure the disc - stem cells or not. Like giving an alcoholic a new liver but they carry on drinking.

I also have the extra l6 and have extreme herniation disc pain at that joint. It has to be linked .

We humans have wonderful differences. Just because it is different does not necessarily mean it is the cause of pain. It will be an environmental exposure to a physiological weakness. Modifying movements, postures and loads will help.

Hey. Check out www.disc-pro.com

Try out his book. I’m about to do the same.

@@joes1941 Thanks I actually got the book about 4 weeks ago the moment after I saw this video.

@@felicianoshields2289 I’m going to do the same. I’m about 5k deep and over a year on tramadol & a lot of weeks missed at work. I used be active & hit the gym 5x a day. I totally understand your suffering & hope to see you make a recovery

Hi Helen. There can be a number of reasons for pain in this area. it is worth consulting a Dr or Physio regarding this issue. Sorry I cannot be more help on this platform.

@@stronglinesphysio9130 thank you, I’ve been seeing an osteopath but no improvement. I plan to try Prof McGill’s core stability exercises.

The best position is the next position. Ive heard this once...i think the key is to switch position often throughout the day..i got a standing desk and switch often and stretch every so often in between task, hope it helps. I do miss sitting.... driving around and traveling is still an issue🤷‍♀️

Hey. So for certain types of back pain - sitting will hurt. It is very much dependant on the structures that are at fault and generating pain. If sitting it a pain trigger then we need to look at posture, we need to look at muscular endurance around your spine and the time you are sat. Check out www.disc-pro.com

Clinically, Arthritis cannot be reversed. The bones/deformity that have overgrown, cannot shrink on their own. Arthritis also means bone-bone friction mostly because of reduction in joint space or loss of lubricating fluid or loss of cartilage. But when the condition is mild, one can manage it in much better way then someone who has moderate to severe OA.

@@techBuffy Does ozone injection work in reversing or curing osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is not necessarily a pain generator. It depends on what triggers your pain and what makes it feel better. Have you had any input as yet?

@@stronglinesphysio9130 The X-ray showed basic wear and tear - that's what the doctor said. I heard that ozone injections are helpful. Do you agree?

Joel Proskewitz is your man. London based. Check him out www.performancerx.co.uk/joel-proskewitz

I’m working on my qualification 🤓

Joel

All his info is on www.backfitpro.com 👍

It depends

@@HendayAllStar I’ve been stair climbing since I posted,backs fine now

Are you climbing them or just walking up and down them. Strengthen the core then you can prob do all the stairs you want..

Try with PRI (postural restoration institute) you may be in a pattern

Visit backfitpro dot com and look up McGill practitioners. I’m also doverosx on the gram.

@@BrodeyDoverosx ya i dont want his practitioners , I need him

It's sad that most people out there have their certificates all over the walls and they don't know shit on how to help you. This man can but you'll never see him.

Best of luck to you I also spent a lot of money after 5k I decided to just stop waisting money my back pain has gotten much better I had to stop doing heavy weight and so light workouts for my lower body if I AGGRAVATE my low back I go to my massage guy and it helps.

Hey. Apologies for the delay. Are you getting the help you need?

Tarlov cysts…

Hey Tony, sorry to hear that. Did you see a competent physio for a specific diagnosis and rehab plan? If not, check out www.disc-pro.com.

Hey Jasper. Sometimes medical jargon gets in the way. Get in touch if you’d like a clear explanation.

@@stronglinesphysio9130 Yes, it most certainly does.but anyways, no thank you, I do appreciate that offer but this one is way over my head. No disrespect, much love to you. May God Bless.

Hey man. I am not a podcaster. I just used lock down time wisely to put the very best information from legends like Stu out there for you.

I think you’re mistaking his arrogance for his passion to try to get across very complicated subject matter to the common public. He wants to help people in pain and is trying to explain his knowledge and experience in the most digestible way possible. He shares a ton of actionable items. Read his book or watch some interviews of his. And in I wholeheartedly disagree about the host. I thought he did great and asked the most important questions in the little time he had to get the most valuable subject matter out of McGill.

You must be watching a different man than me. Stuart McGill is as humble as they come. He is correct about most practitioners, they don't care for the individual. They don't have time. Get his book Back Mechanic and follow his program precisely. Or, you can just continue bashing the messenger.

This man has spent decades on his craft and spent a lot of energy on writing books, he’s not going to give tons of free information when it’s all in his books that are wonderfully illustrated.

I might normally agree with you and I also originally had a similar opinion but honestly after studying two of his books and applying them the man has bragging rights A real scientist in my opinion

Yes McGill gets irritated by the amount of misinformation and doctors treating back pain simply for $$. It’s also not just about a doctor visit and getting fixed YOU must put in the effort to get better. Back pain isn’t a simple fix and fixing learned behaviors isn’t ez. I think he’s arrogant but he’s brilliant.
