In this video, Dr. McGraw explains one of the most common causes of low back pain from squats. When performed correctly, the squat is one of the best total-body exercises you can do. However, if you squat regularly and experience low back pain, stiffness, or tightness after squatting, the problem may not be a weak back.

Check out the link below to watch this latest YouTube video and find out Dr. McGraw's preferred approach to treat your low back pain from squatting!

🌊Surfers don’t have “bad backs.”
They have overloaded backs.

Paddling = constant extension
Pop-ups = explosive rotation
Long sessions = fatigue

If you don’t address the scar tissue + joint restriction, it keeps coming back.

That’s why we combine adjustments with Active Release Technique.

In this video, Dr. McGraw explains how surfing posture, paddling mechanics, and repetitive strain contribute to low back pain in surfers . He breaks down how scar tissue affects movement and function and discusses his preferred treatment approach: Active Release Techniques® (ART®) .
