WEBINAR: Working with the back-pain client, with Back Mechanic author and University of Waterloo Professor Emeritus Stuart McGill

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
