Full title: The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion
This is a fix-it manual for the body. Based on common sense theories of alignment and skeletal support, the “Egoscue method” holds that the human body can and should be pain-free, strong, and flexible throughout a person’s life. And, better, it shows how to get to that point.
The text is clear and easily read. The diagrams are revealing. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain, or trying to ward off repetitive motion injuries (tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome), or simply trying to feel better, stand straighter, think more clearly, this book will help you get there.
Egoscue presents his theory, then follows with an innovative self-diagnostic procedure — which is probably the weakest part of the book, because mild cases of misalignment are very difficult to discern — and then shows a recipe of exercises for each of his three major “conditions” of misalignment.
Reading this book, for me, was an exercise in itself: I kept slapping myself in the forehead. Egoscue seems to be giving secrets that are so obvious it’s nearly painful to have them explained so succinctly, and illustrated so clearly.
I recommend this book for everyone, but especially for people with chronic body complaints.
