X Abstract

Starting today, you don't have to live in pain.<br><br>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 e-cizes specifically designed to provide quick and lasting relief of:<br><br> Lower back pain, hip problems, sciatica, and bad knees<br> Carpal tunnel syndrome and even some forms of arthritis<br> Migraines and other headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, sinus problems, vertigo, and TMJ<br> Shin splints, varicose veins, sprained or weak ankles, and many foot ailments<br> Bursitis, tendinitis, and rotator cuff problems<br> Plus special preventive programs for maintaining health through the entire body.<br><br>With this book in hand, you're on your way to regaining the greatest gift of all: a pain-free body!<br><br>the help of Pete Egoscue's revolutionary program of quick <br>stretches and strength-building exercises, you can cure <br>chronic pain, and do it naturally. <br><br>Pete Egoscue has shown thousands of individuals, corporations, schools, and championship sports teams how to eliminate pain without investing in expensive ergonomic devices or resorting to surgery or drug therapies.  His groundbreaking book, with nearly 50,000 hardcover copies sold, shows readers how to:<br><br>Relieve lower back pain<br>Improve hip problems, sciatica, and bad knees<br>Relieve migraines and other headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, sinus problems, vertigo, and TMJ<br>Relieve painful problems, like carpal tunnel syndrome, often misdiagnosed as arthritis<br>Prevent injuries and maintain health through stretching programs for the entire body<br><br>Filled with easy instructions, photos, and line illustrations throughout, this book will provide quick, effective pain relief. --> 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.
