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. |

Pain Free by Pete Egoscue by Jill Taylor (Seattle, WA United States)  5 Stars
November 07, 2009
I bought this book after using the method for hip pain. It worked and the pain has never returned. I think everyone should have this book. It is like have first aid for all kinds of muscle/skeletal problems. It seems to address issues that even chiropratic and other physical therapy doesn't. I intend to buy the DVD too to get more pointers on doing the exercises correctly. Great information about the body!

Excellent by Shirley LaFleur (San Pedro, CA USA) 5 Stars
October 26, 2009
The methods for stopping pain in this book really work - and in minutes! I highly recommend this book to anyone. Don't wait until you have real problems, use the theory in this book now. I was scheduled for knee replacement surgery, but followed the protocol in this book, plus changed to a more alkaline diet, worked out with weights, and added swimming to my workout. Presto! No surgery.
Attempts to get a good workout before alignment were futile - just causesd injury over and over. After doing the knee and back e-cises, I have no injuries. What a relief to have this "tool".
Now, I look around and see so many people suffering needlessly only because their bodies are out of alignment. What a shame. Conditions worsen as we attempt to be fit while out of alignment. Read this book and do the e-cises. It is effort well spent.

I found many of the book's e-cises to be helpful by Dan McClure (San Diego)  4 Stars
October 17, 2009
I purchased the book based on the recommendation of a friend in the medical field and found many of the author's suggestions to be helpful. I am not in chronic pain (although I have some nagging shoulder problems) and was looking for some good sound advise to promote overall fitness and support my active lifestyle.
On the positive side, the book contains numerous simple exercises (called e-cises) and many of these were effective.
On the negative side, the author spends too much time trying to convince and motivate the reader. I found myself skipping around to get to the useful information.
Overall, I glad I purchased the book and have added it to my reference library.

THE INFO IN THIS BOOK WORKS!! by John White (Kingsport, TN USA) 5 Stars
October 12, 2009
I bought this book in 1998 and it has changed my life!! I am not kidding. I have lower back problems, and had been in the chiropractor's office as many as 20 times/year. I started doing the exercises for my back and slowly my back improved. I like this book so much, I order it from Amazon and send it to friends that I find that have back problems. I have probably given away fifteen copies over the years. For it to work, you MUST be persistent with the exercises (every day!) and patient. It will take some time before you notice a differnce. Oh, by the way, I have not been in the chiropractor's office in over a year!

Recommended to my patients by william (alaska) 4 Stars
October 10, 2009
I am an occupational therapist and a certified hand therapist who works in a busy outpatient clinic. I had 2 different patients recommend this book to me, one of which actually bought it for me. I was a little skeptical, even though I am pretty open minded. I am a physically active 36 y/o who occasionally gets low back pain and most recently some neck stiffness. I've used the exercises on several occasions and after a day or so the symptoms always seem to subside. I'm not saying it's the answer for everyone, but it's definitely worth a look! I've even recommended to a few patients.

No one is immune. For people from champion athletes to desk-bound white-collar professionals, many simple acts of life--a relaxing evening stroll through the neighborhood, an exhilarating run along a sandy beach, just bending down to tie a loose shoelace-are often acts of torture. The walking wounded suffer from torn rotator cuffs, tennis elbow, jogger's knees, bad backs, stiff necks, sore feet, and swollen ankles. It could, without exaggeration, be called a modem epidemic.
