The McGill Method

The McGill Method is a physical therapy approach focused on strengthening core muscles to improve spine stability and reduce back pain. Developed by Dr. Stuart McGill, it emphasizes specific exercises that target the deep core muscles—like the transverse abdominis and multifidus—while avoiding movements that might strain the back. The method encourages proper movement patterns, posture, and breathing techniques to prevent injury and promote long-term spinal health. Its goal is to empower individuals to manage and prevent back pain through tailored, evidence-based exercises that enhance strength and resilience of the entire core region.
