Amazon.com Review
Pete Egoscue learned a lot about pain when, as a Marine officer, he was wounded in Vietnam. He segued from patient to physical therapist, and now runs a famous clinic in San Diego, where he claims he's helped 95 percent of his patients cure chronic pain--including Jack Nicklaus and Charles Barkley, whose athletic careers he helped prolong. At the heart of his program are stretches and motion exercises to restore proper function to muscles and joints. His methods are often surprising and counterintuitive. For example, for foot pain, he suggests a series of hip exercises. In fact, this is one of the most startling books you'll read about the human organism. Egoscue has strong opinions about how modern life is changing the way our bodies function, reducing the tasks we must perform and thus reducing the functional range of motion of our muscles and joints. Fortunately, he offers movement exercises to restore what nature meant us to have.

Product Description
Starting today, you don't have to live in pain.

That is the revolutionary message of this breakthrough system for eliminating chronic pain without drugs, surgery, or expensive physical therapy. Developed by Pete Egoscue, a nationally renowned physiologist and sports injury consultant to some of today's top athletes, the Egoscue Method has an astounding 95 percent success rate. The key is a series of gentle exercises and carefully constructed stretches called E-cises. Inside you'll find detailed photographs and step-by-step instructions for dozens of motioncizes specifically designed to provide quick and lasting relief of:

  • Lower back pain, hip problems, sciatica, and bad knees
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and even some forms of arthritis
  • Migraines and other headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, sinus problems, vertigo, and TMJ
  • Shin splints, varicose veins, sprained or weak ankles, and many foot ailments
  • Bursitis, tendinitis, and rotator cuff problems
  • Plus special preventive motioncise programs for maintaining health through the entire body.

With this book in hand, you're on your way to regaining the greatest gift of all: a pain-free body!

4 out of 5 stars Observations   March 13, 2010
Richard E. Pflaum (Seequim,WA USA)

Completely read by my wife. She has tried many of the exercises,but one or more has left her quite sore. The exercises must be approched slowly and repetitions of them not done to excess. It takes time to get in shape. There are many more exercises so all cannot be adopted unless a person has a lot of time to devote to this effort.



5 out of 5 stars Worth reading!   February 27, 2010

The exercises really do help. After reading the book I had a session with an Egoscue instructor and was very impressed her information and instructions. Do it!

When I ordered this, I hesitated because I wasn't sure that I would get a book in good condition. GOOD is an understatement. Looks just like new.

Dear sirs.
Unfortunately I have not received the book. This the second time it happens to me. as a matter of fact, I was reluctant to use amazon, I would ask you to send the book.

An important adjunct tool to use after craniosacral therapy treatments for chronic pain suffers. Also a great educational book for the general public. Karen Jones, OTRl, CLT
