I am fortunate enough to live in the same area as Dr. McGill and had connected with his lead instrcutor Dr. Cambridge a few years back. 20 years of lower back pain, nothing worked, went to see him, and with 3simple exercises that I do in the morning (which work my core so a big bonus), and some minor adjustments as to how i bend down and turn around ... my back issue was gone by over 50% in 1 week and totally gone within 10 days. Been pretty much back pain free for over 2 years. i cannot reccomend these guys enough.

The big 3 helped me somewhat, but I was still struggling with quite a bit of back pain. What helped me the most was the Movement Vault app's low back pain program. It was literally a game changer for me. Much more structured and in-depth than just repeating the same3 exercises day in and day out. I'm typing this with zero back pain after struggling for the past 3 years. My hip and core mobility have also improved a lot. Highly recommend the app

[@Claire-cj6nn]

Big 3 is a start. Not a program. As so is the book Backmechanics. It gives you insight.. He has other books too .. more complicated to read for non medically trained people though. Since I understood.. I figured out what I need gradually while progressing. Hip/hinge was a crucial one.. also suitcase carries.. etc.. I am glad you found something that helped you too. Be well.

As someone who's lived, the vast majority of my life with back pain. I found this interview, both fascinating and helpful. Thank you Mr Huberman 🙏

[@easybachha]

Dr McGill is an authority on low-back. His books "Back Mechanic", and "Low Back Disorders" are classics! Remember as Dr McGill said in the interview: Every system in the body requires stress for optimal health. Think of the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, the endocrine system, and even the psychological system. Stress is needed to create adaptation for robustness. Still, you cannot cross what's known as the tipping point because if you do, you start building cumulative trauma of some form whether it's emotional trauma psychologically or it's cumulative stress at the tissue level or at the level of the cell.

[@danydufort4562]

I committed to listening to the entire podcast. I respectfully and regrettably say that I did not learn much if anything at all.
