Prof. McGill has established in his Spine biomechanics lab that "bracing" — a moderate stiffening of all the abdominal wall muscles together (transverse abdominis, internal and external obliques, and rectus abdominis) — also activates at the same time the back muscles, and thus forms a natural stiffening girdle essential to spine stability.
In kinesiology, core stability is a person's ability to stabilize their core (all parts of the body which are not limbs). Stability, in this context, should be considered as an ability to control the position and movement of the core. Thus, if a person has greater core stability, they have a greater level of control over the position and ...
Braun has a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry [5] and a minor in pharmacology, both from McGill University. Before starting a YouTube channel, Braun was a trained laboratory technician in an organic lab. [6] He later focused on his Masters on chemistry at McGill, but left it several months later to focus on the channel. [1] [3] [4]
Phil Gold (born September 17, 1936) is a Canadian physician, scientist, professor and author.. Born in Montreal, Quebec, he received a BSc degree in 1957, a MSc degree in 1961, a MD degree in 1961, [1] and a PhD in 1965 from McGill University.
Stuart McGill is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Spine Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. [1] [2] In 2019, he was named a member of the Order of Canada. [3]
Ronald Melzack OC OQ FRSC (July 19, 1929 – December 22, 2019) was a Canadian psychologist and professor of psychology at McGill University. [1] [2] In 1965, he and Patrick David Wall re-charged pain research by introducing the gate control theory of pain.
[3] The office pioneered the COursesOnline (COOL McGill) system, an initiative that started in 2000 with three professors and two programmers and now provides online versions of 350 courses. [4] The office is funded by McGill University. In 2011, the office received a $5.5-million grant from the Lorne Trottier Family Foundation. [1]
The Halliwick Concept focuses on biophysical principles of motor control in water, in particular developing sense of balance (equilibrioception) and core stability.The Halliwick Ten-Point-Programme implements the concept in a progressive programme of mental adjustment, disengagement, and development of motor control, with an emphasis on rotational control, and applies the programme to teach ...
