Publisher's Note
Developed by Pete Egoscue, a sports injury consultant to some of today's major athletes, and used exclusively at his renowned clinic in California, the Egoscue Method has a 95 percent success rate. In Pain Free, Pete Egoscue gives you the keys to his remarkable success: a low-impact, easy-to-perform series of motioncises that return the body to its natural design and posture and in the process completely eliminate even the most severe pain. Pain Free offers detailed photographs and step-by-step instructions for dozens of motioncises that will have you feeling positive results within twenty to thirty minutes. And the best part is that you won't have to give up or limit your favorite activities, purchase an expensive mattress, or pop a daily dose of prescription pills. Conveniently organized by chapters dealing with specific conditions, you can quickly and accurately determine what's wrong, what to do about it, and how to get relief - fast. Inside you'll find special motioncises designed for quick relief of lower back pain, hip problems, sciatica, and bad knees; carpal tunnel syndrome and other painful problems of the hands often misdiagnosed as arthritis; migraines and other headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, sinus problems, vertigo, and TMJ; shin splints, varicose veins, sprained or weak ankles, and an assortment of foot problems; bursitis, tendinitis, and rotator cuff problems; plus special preventive and maintenance motioncise programs for the entire body.
Pain Free shows readers how they can readily self-diagnose, treat and eliminate agonizing conditions such as stiff necks, sore shoulders and elbows, aching backs, hips and knees, shin splints, twisted ankles, and a variety of foot problems. Even many symptoms of arthritis can be eased, along with TMJ, severe migraine headaches, asthma attacks, and repetitive stress injuries. In this natural, head to foot guide to musculoskeletal pain, Pete Egoscue demonstrates that the body is designed to maintain and renew itself through adequate and correct motion, and then leads the reader through brief sequences of motioncises matched to each pain symptom, combatting the root cause of the pain: motion starvation. Each chapter covers a portion of the body vulnerable to chronic pain, leading the reader through the movements that ultimately solve the pain problem, without resorting to drugs, traumatic surgery or expensive physical therapy.
