For this week's episode, we would like to rebroadcast one of our most popular episodes, a conversation with Stuart McGill, that first aired

in January of 2024. Stewart is a world renowned spine biomechanist who spent more than three decades as a professor at the University of Waterloo, where he founded an experimental research clinic devoted exclusively to solving back pain puzzles. He's also the author of the Self Assessment Guide back mechanic, and other seminal texts on spine health. I wanted to rebroadcast this episode as low back pain touches almost everyone at some point in life, and Stewart's frameworks provide a clear roadmap for assessment, re ebb, and long term spine resilience.
