Words cannot express my gratitude for the way Egoscue has positively affected my life. As you know, a year ago I hobbled into your clinic with severe back pain (Herniated disks at L4, L5, S1 - all of which were pressing on the sciatic nerve). I had received two recommendations for surgery to correct this condition and had spent 3 months in excruciating pain trying everything from physical therapy, exercise, chiropractors, deep tissue massages, and acupuncture to eliminate it and give me some level of comfort. All these categories ended with the same result – no relief.

Against the advice of many family members and friends, I decided to drive three hours to Egoscue and "give it a shot". I had heard it all, from "witch-craft!" to, "just have the surgery", but knowing the statistics on back surgery, as well as the horror stories, I decided to try Egoscue and concentrate all of my efforts into the program Greg and Mike designed for me – great decision!

After one year of visiting the clinic, I have gone from living with chronic pain and a difficult limitation in completing simple daily tasks to doing the physical things I want to do. Among my recent successes: completion of a 5-k, a 10-k and a 15-k, participating in a dual-athon (run, bike, run). I have been rock climbing, kayaking, and I am presently participating in an indoor soccer league. Best of all - I am doing these activities PAIN-FREE!!
