Show Notes
Dr. Stuart McGill is world-renowned for his expertise in low back biomechanics and treating low back pain. He is a distinguished professor emeritus at the University of Waterloo and the Chief Scientific Officer at Backfitpro. In this episode, we covered his thoughts on degenerative disc disease, exercise prescription approaches, and refining the art of patient interaction.
Paincast is dedicated to bringing together researchers, clinicians, and students to discuss topics related to pain and physiotherapy. The primary purpose is to facilitate knowledge translation and critical thinking. Some episode posit themselves as more educational than others, and some more opinionated than others. The listener is encouraged to critically reflect on the content. While there is an effort to incorporate research evidence, and the topic is researched by the host (Tiffany), we recognize there is room for improvement and there is expertise in the community. As such, we invite constructive critique and that you inform us of any inadvertent errors, so that we may correct them.

For Paincast's 50th episode, we're turning the microphone around. Alex Chisholm interviews host Tiffany Tiu for a behind-the-scenes conversation about where Paincast came from, how it is made, what it has become, and where it is going next. We discuss the history and philosophy of Paincast, how topics and guests are selected, the research and preparation behind each interview, the challenges of producing and sustaining the podcast, and the mentorship of physiotherapy students through the Pain Science Division Student Committee. Tiffany also reflects on one of the biggest lessons she has learned through 50 episodes: understanding pain science matters, but knowledge alone is not enough. We aren't simply treating pain—we are caring for people whose lives are affected by pain. Paincast links:
