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.

 Great help to my practice May 11, 2008
I'm a busy professional bodyworker. I refer clients to Egoscue books and videos on a regular basis. I keep a couple of spare copies for clients in need and I feel secure that I'm facilitating solid, helpful information to those in pain who have the desire and ability to take responsibility for their own care.

I don't know how people could give this a bad review. If you do what it says in the book, you can't go wrong. Save yourself from the evil pills, surgery and "well intentioned" medical community and use these methods. THEY WORK! Period.

After the MRI report my chiropractor, who is actually a neck specialist, suggested surgery for two bulging discs pinching my C7 nerve and possible bone spurs in my neck. I was ready to go under the knife when a chance meeting with Richard Lunceford led me to the Egoscue.com website. He said it's the only method that has helped his bone-on-bone lower back pain after trying many other therapies.
I got Pete's Motion and Pain Free books and performed the exercises in blind faith thinking there's no way this would work. One week later, I felt better. One month later the pain, stiffness and tingling shooting through my shoulder, arm, hand and upper chest shrunk about 50%.
I kept adding more exercises to my daily routine and can feel muscles strengthening my neck and back. I rarely visit my chiropractor because I can now get rid of back pain faster through proper stretching. These exercises have allowed me to become faster and stronger on the basketball court.
I'm focusing on my aligning my hips right now. And I still haven't registered for the 8-week course at the Del Mar clinic. I just followed the books.
Hard to imagine a few months ago I was faced with having screws and plates fused inside my neck. Your book is a godsend.
