Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain
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 text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
