Have to ask about it since i see it everywhere...McGill Method. Before i go any further, understand that McGill Method in my experience was good for practicing abdominal bracing and conditioning one's core (i've tried it, was coached in it by someone trained by McGill himself and yet i still have pain) but what i never understood is this: they claim McGill Method will heal your spine and cure your pain. Ummm...how? How will getting a stronger core cure things like a herniated disc? No one ever answers this when i've asked it before to the people who just claim McGill for any and all back pain. "Just do McGill and the pain will go away. You watch!" and if it didn't, "Well, you didn't do the exercises long enough".
Not trying to hate on McGill but i'd like to know if I'm off here. It's a good practice to train and re-educate your core muscles (if they were poorly trained to begin with), but it won't solve the issue of physiological changes in the spine that are the causes of pain. Is that last statement incorrect Gotgame (because that was the conclusion i came to)?
Gotgame, I'd love to hear what you have to say about the McGill Method.
