After watching Stuart McGill on many podcasts and interviews, along with hearing testimony after testimony about his work, I purchased Back Mechanic and am happy to say, even though I'm just beginning the process, that the book is detailed, easy to understand and implement, and is full of inspiration ... meaning, it gives you the tools to take control of your pain and get your spine to heal. Highly recommend this book and McGill's work!

This book seems to contain a lot of good information. And it has brought me hope once again. However, it has a lot of bold statements in the sense that it goes against a lot of the recommendations given by some back pain specialists (as they entitled themselves). For those kind of info I found that the book lacks scientific reference (papers published in well respected journals). The author is for sure very skilled and experienced. It is a well known professional. He could have made citations of his own papers published. That's the only drawback IMHO, and that is why it is not a 5 star.

I got this book a week ago and i feel the change for better already!!! (I suffered from slipped disc since 2006 because i was a city bus driver for 6 years).I like this book because it is straight forward, and it was written by a Canadian doctor who studied the spine for over 32 years!!! I mean, in that time, even the dumbest of us would find some important things about the spine.I like that he worked with both, professional athletes and ordinary people.The book has a self-assessment part, in which you find out what the problem really is. It is supported with great illustrations.So, once you know what the problem is, he goes on to tell you what movements to avoid and which ones to do PROPERLY. Plus, there are illustrations with right and wrong way of doing everyday movements (like opening a door, vacuuming, and loading and unloading a washing machine).I implemented everything he said for my case and the difference is already great, just within a week!!! I am pain-free!He also gave me a position that relieves me from pain and exercises for my back (3 basic ones).Even if you are thinking of having a surgery of your spine, BUY THIS BOOK and give it a try, there is nothing you can lose!!!Thank you so much Dr McGill, for sharing your spine knowledge with us through your book which everyone can understand!!!I recommend this book to all the people who have from the smallest to the biggest problems with their spine!!!If you dont trust this doctor, check out his interview videos on YouTube, and you will see and hear how knowledgeable, logical, down to earth and humble this doctor is!!!This book is the end to your back problems!!!

I really believe this book gives you the best chance of being able to understand your back, if you suffer with back pain, what could be causing it and what you should do to build resilient recovery! All of this is achieved by Professor McGill guiding you through how the back works, how to assess your pain triggers and then what to do about it.Professor McGill may have over 30 years of research and clinical investigations to draw from, but the book is written in such a way as to be understandable and accessible to everyone – it is that simple!I am so glad I made the purchase, I feel empowered and am confident the changes it has encouraged me to make are making a difference.I bought the book through Amazon, but then decided I would like the supplementary video, (it gives more visual cues regarding some of the exercises). I think the video can be purchased with the book through Amazon, however if you decide you just want to take a look at the book first, you can do so and then make a subsequent purchase.....I did this directly through the Backfitpro website.
