 Better than my Physical Therapist! May 27, 2008
I've had lower back pain for over a year, and these simple exercises and stretches virtualy eliminated the pain in less than an hour...literally! Amazing Book! Gives specific exercises targeting specific areas of pain in your body. My primary care doctor recommended this, and I just wish I had ordered it sooner! Wish I could give a copy to all of mankind.
It really works! May 23, 2008

I have found Egoscue Method to be remarkable effective. A few years ago, I saw an orthopedist, who said that I had a spondylolisthesis in the lower lumbar vertebra. What he told me boiled down to "put up with the pain until it's too much for you, then we'll operate". I had reached that point. I could not stand up straight, and any standing was very uncomfortable. If I took a wrong step, or made a wrong motion, the pain was so intense that I would fall to my knees.
About that time, one of my friends sent me the Pain Free book, and I tried the suggested therapy out of desperation. In three weeks, I could stand up straight, and the severe pain was gone, and never returned. This is not to say that the problem was corrected, but even if things hadn't gotten any better, I would have been very happy.
I continued the therapy from the book for another month or so, at which time I found the San Jose clinic. Once I started treatment there, my back started to get much better - fast. Every time I thought I'd reached a plateau, I would make another significant improvement. Today, ten months later, I am basically without pain, and my range of motion is very much improved. I can even run without discomfort - something I haven't been able to do for years and years. I can tell that my condition can still be improved, but I would say that I'm now back to "normal", or somewhere close. I certainly plan on continuing the therapy.
Great help to my practice May 11, 2008
I'm a busy professional bodyworker. I refer clients to Egoscue books and videos on a regular basis. I keep a couple of spare copies for clients in need and I feel secure that I'm facilitating solid, helpful information to those in pain who have the desire and ability to take responsibility for their own care.

I don't know how people could give this a bad review. If you do what it says in the book, you can't go wrong. Save yourself from the evil pills, surgery and "well intentioned" medical community and use these methods. THEY WORK! Period.

After the MRI report my chiropractor, who is actually a neck specialist, suggested surgery for two bulging discs pinching my C7 nerve and possible bone spurs in my neck. I was ready to go under the knife when a chance meeting with Richard Lunceford led me to the Egoscue.com website. He said it's the only method that has helped his bone-on-bone lower back pain after trying many other therapies.
I got Pete's Motion and Pain Free books and performed the exercises in blind faith thinking there's no way this would work. One week later, I felt better. One month later the pain, stiffness and tingling shooting through my shoulder, arm, hand and upper chest shrunk about 50%.
I kept adding more exercises to my daily routine and can feel muscles strengthening my neck and back. I rarely visit my chiropractor because I can now get rid of back pain faster through proper stretching. These exercises have allowed me to become faster and stronger on the basketball court.
I'm focusing on my aligning my hips right now. And I still haven't registered for the 8-week course at the Del Mar clinic. I just followed the books.
Hard to imagine a few months ago I was faced with having screws and plates fused inside my neck. Your book is a godsend.
