You’ve tried it all — stretching, resting, medication and therapy — but the pain just keeps coming back. That’s because most treatments focus on immediate relief and completely miss the root cause.

Inspired by Experts in Spine & Strength Training

BackFitPro by Professor Stuart McGill

The Good Back Academy is built on the shoulders of giants — including Professor McGill, who spent over 40 years researching spinal mechanics, back pain, and injury prevention. As the founder of BackFitPro and creator of the McGill Method, his work has shaped how clinicians and coaches around the world help people recover and stay pain-free. While the Good Back Academy offers practical, self-guided tools for lasting relief, some cases of back pain require a personalized approach. If you’re seeking 1-on-1 support, we encourage you to connect with a certified practitioner trained in the BackFitPro methodology. Their diagnostic expertise and clinical insight can make all the difference.
