Hi friends, welcome back to Modern Wisdom. My guest today is none other than Dr. Stuart McGill.

He is one of the world's leading researchers into back pain. He's worked with top flight

athletes in pretty much every sport in the world from powerlifting to CrossFit, NFL, NHL,

gymnasts, yogis and even MMA. When world squat record holder Brian Carroll shattered his

sacrum and his L5, Dr. McGill was the guy who we went to to not only get in pain free,

but to also take him back to fitness so that he could re-break his own squat record. So my point

is that if anybody understands how the complex system that is the spine works, it's Dr. McGill.

Today we're talking about why spines are so problematic, how we can mitigate the effects of

office work and being sedentary or sat down for most of the day. What Dr. McGill's thoughts are

on CrossFit as a training methodology and for spinal health, his favourite rehab exercises,

including the genesis of the legendary Big Three for back and so much more. I'm certain that

this is going to be an absolute hit with a lot of people who suffer with back pain or know

someone who does. So very fortunately I have linked up with the protein works to incentivise you

to give the episode a little share. I massively appreciate all of the support that I get and I

wanted to give something back to those of you who helped to spread the message of the podcast.
