Wednesday, June 11, 2025


589. Title & Author: Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill, PhD (161 pages)

Genre: Nonfiction–Health & Fitness

Completed: 6 June 2025


Summary & Review:

Dr. Stuart McGill outlines his proven process for helping patients overcome back pain by starting with proper self assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. 


Good book with advice that seems pretty sound. I really should have just listened to Mark Rippetoe and not fiddled around working on abs. McGill and Rippetoe have similar philosophies when it comes to back health: stiffness and strength, not flexibility and stretching.
