WHAT IS EGOSCUE®?
he Egoscue® Method, pronounced (E-gos-que), is a proven method that gets to the root of chronic pain by returning the body to proper alignment, function and balance. It is deeply rooted in the belief that your design isn’t flawed, your posture is.
Pete Egoscue has been successfully helping regular people relieve themselves of chronic pain since the early 70s. He is a self-taught therapist and former marine who developed the Egoscue Method® after being injured in Viet Nam and experimenting on himself, military personnel and athletes. Pete has authored six books; including the best selling, Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method For Stopping Chronic Pain and most recently, Let’s Lighten Up.
Pete, a Posture Therapist, has designed a method consisting of a series of ecises or exercises that are customized for every client. The Egoscue Method® looks at the body through the eye of an engineer—where is the weight distribution, are the load joints aligned, etc. It is a process and although many clients experience immediate and rapid changes, it usually takes 8-16 visits to get a hold of the postural dysfunction that has taken decades to show itself.
The Egoscue Method® is not cookie cutter—every client receives a customized menu of gentle corrective exercises that focus on bringing your posture back into balance and alignment and restoring proper function. Straighten, then strengthen.
