“After over two years of consistent lower back pain, diagnosed as piriformis syndrome, visits to the doctor and a physiotherapist I finally decided I had to do something different. The final catalyst was while at the gym, I was unable to do a relatively benign leg lift, without excruciating pain in my lower back. I had already been introduced to Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill. I decided to contact Sarah McGill. My call to Sarah was the beginning of my journey to finally experiencing pain-free movement and the ongoing ability to do simple routine tasks such as putting on my pants, sneezing, rolling over in bed, moving from sitting to standing and a host of other daily movements without pain.

After our initial telephone discussion I met with Sarah and we went through a physical assessment of my back issues. Sarah showed me a series of exercise, ensured that I was doing them correctly and committed to following up our visit with an email summarizing the assessment and providing a detailed instruction on the exercises I was to do to help me overcome my back pain. 

I followed through with the exercise program and about a month later I had a return visit to Sarah to go over my progress, and there had been progress at that point, less pain, more agility. Sarah gave me an enhanced exercise program, to supplement, the original program and again ensured I knew how to do the movements correctly before ending the session.  
​
I am very satisfied with my progress to date and I am very satisfied with the caring, professional way that Sarah approached our interactions and her thoroughness in both our in person discussions and the summaries she provided by email. My only regret is that I wasn’t introduced to Sarah and the McGill Method earlier in my battle with back pain!!”
