In case you have any doubt about why movement teachers who want to teach safely – isn’t that ALL of us? – simply must eliminate loaded spinal movement, please, for the sake of your own competency and for the sake of your clients, watch this recently published 1 hour 4 minute video podcast of Dr. McGill being interviewed by Travis Mash.<\/p>\n
Travis Mash is an elite strength trainer specializing in barbell, and 100% of every single thing discussed applies to the teaching of movement including Pilates, Yoga, Cross Fit or Barre.<\/p>\n
I have incorporated into my work the safety-in-training aspects of 100% of every single thing discussed – it’s perfectly possible to still teach classical Pilates without teaching unsafely! – and if you’d like to conform 100% of your teaching to the logical and simple realities of spine safety, I can help.<\/p>\n
I have the model Dr. McGill uses to demonstrate and here’s what DynamicDiscDesigns, the model manufacturer<\/a>, had to say about this piece: “After explaining delamination using the models, a bit of a mic drop.”I don’t know what more evidence you want”. Thank you Dr. McGill!”<\/p>\n I have the spine and disc model Dr. McGill uses, if you want to borrow it, let me know and I’ll mail it to you so you can learn from it, then teach your clients from it.<\/p>\n Here’s a link to Dr. McGill’s website:\u00a0http:\/\/www.backfitpro.com\/<\/p>\n And to the books he recommends:\u00a0Back Mechanic<\/a>\u00a0and Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n
