TV infomercials offer a world of potential solutions for back pain, but most of them have at least one of three problems – they're unproven, unworkable or just plain unattractive. A team of Vanderbilt University engineers in Nashville, Tenn., is changing that with a design that combines the science of biomechanics and advances in wearable tech to create a smart, mechanized undergarment.

This one-hour webinar will describe an evidence-based process of interpreting patient history followed by “pain provocation” assessment to isolate the mechanism that causes back pain. Eliminating the pain-causing mechanism is the first step. Exercise prescription is the second step, based on the assessment, and involves a blend of strategic mobility and stability. These variables together with movement patterns assist in winding down pain sensitivity. Then, the program shifts to build the foundation for a pain-free body using the “knowledge of mechanism”.
About the Speaker: Stuart McGill is a “University Professor Emeritus” of spine biomechanics, University of Waterloo. His advice is often sought by governments, corporations, legal experts and elite athletes and teams from around the world. Difficult back cases are regularly referred to him for consultation.
When: Sept. 13, 2017, 12:00 PM to 1:00PM EDT

Judging by recent hamstring injuries of high-profile athletes at the world track and field championships in London, some may muse that perhaps it's a contagious virus hitting sprinters. As the director of the Running Injury Clinic at the University of Calgary, I can assure sports fans these injuries are definitely not contagious, but a risk factor for all elite athletes – especially sprinters.
