Based on his strong foundation in biomechanics and 15 years of experience in physical medicine, Dr. Anderson knew that abdominal strengthening exercises, when done traditionally, came with a biomechanical penalty to the spine. Strengthening the abdominals without penalizing the spine, and educating the masses on how to care for their backs became a primary focus. As a result,The MECA Back Institute was founded and the MECA Wedge was developed.
