✔️ Certified McGill Method Provider since 2019
✔️ Working alongside Dr. Stuart McGill since 2013
✔️ Specializes in back injury recovery through the McGill Method

Brian does not offer medical advice, nor does he guarantee success—but he brings decades of proven expertise, client results, and a deep commitment to guiding your recovery process.
Brian’s virtual back pain coaching and consultations are conducted via Google Meet, allowing clients worldwide to receive expert guidance. These sessions provide a thorough movement assessment, pain trigger identification, and a personalized recovery strategy, all tailored to your specific condition and goals.
However, some cases may require an in-person assessment for optimal results, including:
🔹 Athletes returning to sport who need precise movement corrections and sport-specific guidance
🔹 Clients with complex back injuries (multiple disc levels, failed surgeries, or combined hip and back injuries) that require a hands-on approach
🔹 Individuals who struggle with virtual learning and would benefit from in-person instruction and cueing
If you believe an in-person McGill Method assessment is necessary, please visit our Certified Practitioner Page for details on scheduling an in-person consultation.

1️⃣ Read Back Mechanic and complete the assessment in the book. I recommend the video-enhanced version with guidance from Dr. McGill. Then, read Gift of Injury.
📖 These books provide crucial insights into your back pain, improving your chances of success when we meet. I will reference them during your progress.
2️⃣ New clients with back pain should schedule a 2-hr or 3-hr consultation. Identifying the root cause of your pain takes time. We will assess factors like goals, training, exercise, and daily movements.
3️⃣ Trust the process and be patient. Healing isn’t linear, and every back injury recovers at a different pace. Complex cases often require in-person assessment, while simpler ones may need virtual follow-ups. I can’t promise instant results, but I will give you my best every step of the way.
“I’ve had the privilege of assisting countless clients in overcoming back pain and regaining strength. However, recovery is a process, and success depends on your commitment to the program. Healing a back injury isn’t instant—it took me 18 months to fully regain my strength, as I shared in Gift of Injury.
Trust the process, be patient, and understand that rebuilding athleticism is not linear. Some cases require in-person assessments, while others can be managed virtually. I can’t promise instant results, but I can promise to do my best to guide you through it.”

From Claudia:
“I went to see Brian last July (2021). I was in pain (low back) for almost a year straight. Brian did a thorough assessment to explain how to heal my injury; He also explained the process and the importance of stepping back from lifting. I followed his guidance. For seven months didn’t touch a bar. Then, I did the same exercises for seven months to build a resilient core. Finally, 2.5 months ago, I started to lift again. I could not recommend Brian more. He is super knowledgeable and passionate about helping others. He also has a tremendous understanding of the human body and weightlifting. I am now pain-free and pushing toward competition again! Thank you, Brian!”
From Sawyer Levy: “I came to Brian about a compression fracture I got on my L3 in late February 2021 due to an accident sustained outside lifting. Reading Brian’s story in Gift of Injury drew me to seek his help. Brian helped me get on the right track with recovery, but the biggest thing was hearing from a powerlifter that had been through this before to stay away from the gym even if I thought I could continue to train. Not just hearing it from the doctor. Brian got me on the right track using the principles of the McGill method, and I am experiencing the benefits of that now. I will continue to work with Brian and recommend any powerlifter, strongman, Olympic lifter, etc., that has a back break or any back injury to do the same. Thank you, Brian.”
