Egoscue: Pain Free Workout, Vol. 1

I have been working out most of my life. I am 59 and use a wide variety of excersies. Most of my issues are from improper moves or mistakes from the past. I am also a well seasoned personal trainer. I purchased "Volume 1 for beginners" as well as "Pain Free" for help with misalignment and structural issues that have created pain and discomfort for the past 3 years or so. I noticed relief from the first routine with "Pain Free." " Volume 1" has taken me further in my quest for re-allignment and pain reduction. I would say my pain has decreased by 75% and my misalligned hips are straightened out by 90% I LOVE THIS STUFF! I'm moving into Vol 2 soon. I would agree with everything that dr beth said though. If you dont know how to lessen the psoas discomfort on the crunches you may try doing just 10 or 15. Personally I dont get into 100 crunches... just me though. There are many more core excersises to focus on. But great for the natural curve of the spine. Love it. I'm all in with Egoscue, and I plan on spending the winter focusing on this while backing off of my regular routine. Time to reassess...again. I keep backing off, year by year. Smarter not harder I guess.

I cannot rate the content because I cannot view it. The segments are listed as bullet points that cannot be accessed without a specific remote. I can't view the main program. I have gone through 3 remote controls trying to watch it. I can't do that. This DVD is useless to me.

I found that it was difficult to see the TV and maintain the correct posture at times. This exercises must be done with caution, back may get worse with the wrong movements. It is good to do it along with someone else.

This video is helpful, but I was disappointed that it did not have all of the same exercises as the book had. It does have some of them though, and watching them helps me to understand how to do them better.

After reading the reviews on this DVD, I was encouraged to give it a try. However, I had to send it back. I have Neural Foraminal Stenosis (a pinched nerve in my lumbar spine), with some arthritis. The first thing you'll notice when you start the video is that the exercises are done on a mat on the floor. Getting down on the floor and back up again is very difficult for me. The leader says, "these exercises can be done anywhere". Well, yes, and no. You can probably do them on your bed, but I don't think you'll get the full benefit from it. So, I'll summarize by stating that if you can't get down on the floor, you probably need to think twice about purchasing this DVD. Better to consider DVD's that offer workouts while sitting in a chair, or standing while holding on to the back of a chair for balance.

I love using this volume 1 and I noted if I use it at least a shortened version of it or use it only 3 days a week, I can work at the computer longer and my SI joint is less likely to keep dislocating (which began after I fell of a bike, had a herniated disc, sciatica, and continued to work in my garden, a few years ago). I am now playing my cello, and this was impossible for a few years. I can twist perfectly for my golf swing (I am a beginner) and golf is not hurting my back at all. There was a time I thought I would never be able to play cello nor every learn to play golf because of my back,SI joints, and sciatica. This volume one also helped me cure the partial rotator cuff tear I got a couple years ago. I also has given me the posture of a teenager again! Highly recommended by me and many athletes. Also check out any of his books. This man is AMAZING!

It helps my hip issue.

This DVD will change your life and remove lifelong pain issues by just showing how to stand correctly! More than that the exercises feel great! I am not into exercise but this DVD is the one I would recommend to everyone. In the kitchen, washing dishes etc. I remember to place more weight on my right foot. This aligns my whole body and I am on my way to eliminate decades of misalignment. Suddenly I can breath better and I am correcting pressures that once led to sciatica pain etc. This is the one exercise DVD that is geared for anybody and the most worthwhile for correcting structural issues that will guarantee a much better encounter with old age!

Egoscue has developed exercises to help ease pain and keep it away. Anyone with chronic pain would do well to get a copy and follow the suggestions

I bought this video in the hope it would help ease the increasing pain that I’m getting in my hip. Although the exercises can be a bit full on, I need to realise I’m in the early stages of using it and my progress is a bit slow. That is entirely down to my low level of fitness, at the moment and not the instructions being provided. I’m sure that as I progress, this video, which is well made, will do exactly what it promises and help with my pain and increase my fitness. If your struggling with joint pain, I would recommend giving it a go. 👍🏼

Wer die Übungen auf dieser DVD regelmässig und nach Anweisung macht, hat eine gute Chance, sich von Rückenschmerzen und anderen Wehwechen, die durch mangelnde oder falsche Bewegungen entstehen, zu heilen. Die DVD ist in gut verständlichem Englisch. Die Bewegungsabfolgen werden ausführlich erklärt - man braucht weder ein Fitness-Studio noch spezielle Kleidung, um sie zu praktizieren. Auch sind sie recht einfach und gut nachzuvollziehen. Diese DVD richtet sich an alle Altersklassen und Sie werden ganz sicher etwas darauf finden, was Ihnen gut tut, egal, wie fit sie sind.. Wer sich unsicher fühlt oder wirklich krank ist, sollte vorsichtig sein und die Bewegungen lieber mit einem Physiotherapeuten ausführen. Mir hilft die DVD, meine Schulterschmerzen erträglich zu halten. Wer weiß? Vielleicht ist sogar eine Heilung möglich - ich werde weiter berichten..

Great! Get it!

Die Egosque Methode ist sehr hilfreich und effektiv. DVD ist mehr für Trainer und praktizierende mAnuelltherapeuten geeignet, als für Leien.
