Ep. 74: Stronger Backs, Stronger Lives: Pain, Prevention & Performance — A Masterclass with Dr. Stuart McGill

from The Fit Physician

In this powerful masterclass episode, world-renowned spine biomechanist Dr. Stuart McGill joins Jake and Dr. Suzanne to break down how the spine truly works, why most back pain isn’t “mysterious,” and how understanding tissue tolerance, load management, movement patterns, and assessment can completely change outcomes for patients and clinicians alike. He explains common injury mechanisms, why activities like heavy deadlifting can both build strength or create damage depending on context, how to identify specific pain generators instead of labeling symptoms as “non-specific back pain,” and the importance of personalized strategies over generic rehab advice.--Click here for all Stu McGill resources including books, certifications and more
