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.

This is a fabulous book. I had borrowed it from a a friend and decided I wanted my own copy. The concept is when your muscles are not strong your body is out of alignment and causes pain. The exercises don't require any expensive equipment andthey work.The exercises also are not exhausting nor time consuming. In a few minutes a day you can do them.I love this book andsystem.
Rating: - If you haven't tried this then you haven't explored your options.
I had five years of chronic knee pain cured doing these knee postures three times.The very straightforward approach of this book is to get your big muscles doing big muscle work again.Pain is caused when the small muscles take over.I am a doctor and have used this effectively with many patient.More accurately I have given them the book and they have done it.
Rating: - Pain Free
Egoscue is a leader in his field, no question about that. The book is well written and easy to follow. The exercises are easy to do, and best of all they work. As a healthcare provider and three sport athlete, i am always looking for conservative ways to treat minor aches and pains both for me and the patients that I treat. This book is a valuable asset to your collection, and you will not be disappointed if you purchase it.
Rating:  - It's the thought that counts
I was impressed by the claims of "instant pain relief" by many of the commenters of this book, so I was looking forward to receiving this book as soon as possible. I recently bruised a nerve that caused my thumb to become tingly and I get upper back pain after typing for hours at a time at work, but rest assured, none of the claims came true. Apparently this is a case of the placebo effect and nothing more, i.e. - it will only possibly work if you have blind faith that it will work. For example, ... Read More
