The simple and effective methods provide immediate and permanent results for everyone experiencing pain. Dr. McGill and Brian Carroll are changing lives â mine included.â Â

From Blaine Sumner, âChampion of Championsâ IPF world record holder and highest Wilks score in powerlifting history:
âBefore understanding Dr. McGillâs work, I thought my back injury meant the end of my lifting career. Since absorbing all of his knowledge and applying the lessons in this book to my daily life, my career has been restored. I am stronger than ever â and taking my back health to new heights.â

From Travis Mash, All-time World Record Holding Powerlifter, Author, Coach and owner of Mashelite.com
âDr. McGill and Brian Carroll bring you a triumphant story, a coaching/cueing guide, and a blue-print full of principles with 100% unvarnished truth that we as athletes face: Injury happens. In fact, an athlete myself â the opening pages of Gift of Injury truly felt like I was reliving my mid-30âs â where I dealt with debilitating injury on my own, but, without the help of an encyclopedia like GOI. The algorithms in this book are sure to help navigate you toward immediate success not only in a clinical setting but the ever-so-important âultimate performanceâ end of the spectrum. I highly suggest this book to anyone who trains!â
