17. Egoscue Method of health through motion

Sun Feb 6, 2022, 10:15 AM

Feb 2022

A really good book outlining a stretching & light exersize program to reduce these kinds of pains. We aren't evolved to sit so much nor to use one hand over the other.

This program was used by Jack Nicolas (I know he isn't one of is) before his golf comeback. It written by a physiologist it covers self diagnosis and 4 workouts. You determine your stage and you work back up to the one for the healthy. It's mostly stretches. The goal is to balance the hips, get the legs to carry the motion properly and to balance the shoulders.

Egoscue Method of health through motion by Pete Egoscue. It's out of print so you'll have to order used or pull a copy up on www.b-ok.cc if you need to wait to purchase. It's out of print as the guy runs clinics now and has written newer books to align with his clinics.
