Egoscue and Low Back Pain

Lower back pain comes in many forms including back spasms, herniated discs, stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, and chronic low back tightness and stiffness. The causes of lower back pain can be elusive and the cause of back pain is never found in 85% of patients. Often pain is the result of years of improper movement due to postural misalignments in the body. In this video Pete Egoscue, founder of the Egoscue Method for stopping chronic pain and author of the book Pain Free, assesses one man’s lower back pain and shows how shoulder alignment and a concave curvature of the spine contribute to the issue. He then goes on to demonstrate a few simple posture exercises that can help correct the spinal positioning and restore comfort in the body. Watch and see how the body adjusts instantly to this gentle conditioning.
