Outstanding, detailed book with tons of data. Well cited, with case studies. Photos and videos (with the access card) are very helpful. Details about work and back issues, and how to modify approaches to avoid pain and injury, are extremely helpful.

Just got the new edition! Its amazing... many areas have been updated. An entire new chapter capturing Dr. McGill's patient assessment and evaluation techniques! The addition of on-line videos are truly added value to this edition as well.

This is a great edition. I use this book all the time to educate patients about back pain. I'm very glad Dr. McGill put out a new edition to reflect the latest research.

One of the best books I have read on low back pain. Incorporated many of the techniques described in my practice.

McGill's work is incredible, and light-years ahead of most conventional physical therapy approaches (a fact with he repeats a bit too often in his writing); for a back-pain sufferer such as myself, this book is probably overkill, but it does provide a wonderfully detailed view of how the musculo-skeletal structure works (and fails). The biggest problem with the book for me is the illustrations, which are often of mediocre quality and don't clearly show what the text says they show. However, the book does offer links to online videos (which I confess I haven't watched) so that may help. If you have back problems, you (or your physical therapist) needs this book!
