Stop Chasing Pain. Start Building Resilience.
The McGill Method: The Gold Standard for Lower Back Recovery and Performance.
Are You Tired of the “Quick Fix” Cycle?
Most back pain treatments focus on temporary relief—masks for the symptoms. At MacDonald Fitness, we don’t do “quick fixes.” We find the cause.
If you’ve been told you need surgery, or you’ve been “stretching” your back pain for years with no results, it’s time for a biomechanical approach. Whether you are an elite athlete or someone who just wants to pick up their kids without pain, the McGill Method is the path back to a pain-free life.
What is the McGill Method?
Developed by world-renowned spine biomechanist Dr. Stuart McGill, this method is rooted in decades of laboratory research. Unlike general physical therapy, the McGill Method is a precise, evidence-based system used to:
- Identify your specific “pain triggers.”
- Remove the movements that cause irritation.
- Build “Spine Hygiene” and core stability.
- Empower you to become your own back mechanic.
Why Choose MacDonald Fitness?
At MacDonald Fitness, we specialize in the application of these principles. We don’t just give you a list of exercises; we provide a comprehensive overhaul of how you move.
Our Process:
- The Deep-Dive Assessment: A 2-3 hour evaluation to find exactly which postures, movements, and loads are causing your pain.
- Movement Re-education: We teach you how to move in your daily life to wind down your pain.
- The “Big 3”: Implementation of the specific McGill core stabilization exercises tailored to your tolerance.
- Strength Integration: Once the foundation is stable, we build your strength back up so you can return to the sports and activities you love.
