| Paperback Description 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. |

Excellent alternative medicine! 3 months after my 3rd knee arthroscopy I was still feeling pain...a lot. I picked up Pete's book more out of desperation than anything. Last monday began the recommended E-cises and have been literally 'Pain Free' since!
Highly, Highly recommended.
Works - Like a Miracle for Me! I bought this book after reading the 50 plus reviews all with ratings of 5 stars. I thought there must be something to this. I have been in pain - all over - for over eight years. Before going to bed I did two of the exercises. I got into bed and felt NO pain - I was in shock - truly amazed and incredulous. I awoke several times during the night to NO pain. I didn't want to sleep - just to stay awake to feel how good it felt! I wanted to tell the world and I am so happy that I took a chance and tried this - after trying so many things that haven't worked. Try it - it's more than worth it - for me, being pain free, is overwhelming joyous and gives me new hope where I had lost so much.
Marathon Runner With Chronic Knee Pain - Now Cured Looking through the many reviews regarding this book, I felt that I should add my own personal experience. In 2003, I developed chronic Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) while training for the Honolulu marathon. I initially tried to push myself through the injury, thinking it would just go away, and even forced myself to run half of the marathon before I just couldn't go on due to the excruciating pain. Multiple doctors, physical therapy, and cortisone shots have filled the last two years of trying to come back. Everything failed.
About two months ago, I went to an orthopedic surgeon and begged him to "fix" my problem through surgery so that I could start running again. He refused, and ordered me back to the same physical therapy program which did nothing before. Disheartened, I resigned myself to do nothing until I heard Mr. Escogue's weekly radio show one Saturday morning. Intrigued but wearisome of another fix, I decided to pick up the book at the local library since I didn't want to spend more money on something that may be bogus.
I began doing the exercises for knee pain approx. three weeks ago. After a few days, I began to notice some improvements. Five days ago, I began running again with zero pain. To test this miracle cure, I went to the gym to do full squats, something that I couldn't even do one of before with out some serious pain. I did four sets of twelve, again with zero pain. I've now ordered three of Mr. Escogue's books so that I can give them to friends and family with various forms of chronic pain. I can't predict how his methods will work for others, but they worked for me. |
