The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion

The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion (1992) by anatomical functionalist Pete Egoscue, written with Roger Gittines, argues that modern sedentary life throws the body out of its natural alignment. Egoscue contends that much chronic pain in the back, knees, shoulders and other joints comes from muscular imbalance rather than injury. He offers series of simple exercises, called E-cises, designed to restore natural posture and motion and relieve pain without surgery or drugs.
