Paul Bielak’s movement experience spans over 30 years in martial arts, fight sport, fitness, strength and conditioning. He has worked and learned abroad in Canada, Japan, Brazil, and Europe, and is currently based in Prague, Czech Republic. In an attempt to find balance and commonality between the areas of rehabilitation, prevention, and peak athletic performance, he found the McGill method most relevant to his work; since it has given him the most appropriate solutions and explanations. Since then, he has been using Dr. Stuart McGill’s protocols as a foundation for the practice of all his disciplines, as well as for fundamental daily "back hygiene" for his clients.
Paul currently offers Back Mechanic seminars and practical workshops to trainers, laymen, and companies in Central Europe, while traveling to Canada to see Dr. McGill personally for further study.
