The Eight Laws of Physical Health
I think we can all agree that the majority of laws are in place to protect us. For example, we have speed limits in place so that we drive safely, and we have to stop at red lights to ensure that we don't get in a wreck. Obviously, if we violate those laws, bad things can happen. At best, we'll get a ticket if caught violating. At worst, someone could get seriously injured, or worse yet, killed.
When it comes to the body, we have laws in place as well. Eight of them, actually. Pete Egoscue talks about them in his book, Pain Free. If you haven't read it yet, I would highly suggest you do. Not only does it go in-depth about the Eight Laws, but it gives you the Egoscue perspective on posture and pain. All of the chapters are divided up by symptoms--back pain, hip pain, neck pain, etc.--and include exercises to correct your posture and eliminate your pain. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of it!

3 Simple Exercises to Eliminate Knee Pain
About 1 in 4 Americans suffers from knee pain, according to a 2011 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Rather than ignore that wincing discomfort until it's unbearable, see if you can ease the ouch with these three simple strengthening exercises from Sonima's pain and anatomy advisor, Pete Egoscue. You may be surprised to find that the pain you feel in your knee is due to weakness and instability in other areas of the body. The exercises demonstrated in this video-sitting knee pillow squeezes, supine foot circles and point flexes, and sitting abductor press-build strength and mobility in the lower body, particularly the ankles, calves, and thighs, to better support the joints' movements and thereby eliminate knee pain.

Are you or someone you know dealing with chronic pain? Are you noticing that certain workouts or positions tend to consistently trigger discomfort and you haven't figured out a reason - much less - a solution? Do you find yourself stretching your hips, hamstrings or shoulders because they're always "so tight?"
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, come visits us at Egoscue Beverly Hills for our complimentary Pain Free Workshop! We will discuss how and why your body's position is creating these issues, and how Egoscue provides the tools to restore balance, function (and relief!) so YOU can perform optimally in all your summer time activities! We will also have time at the end for questions or topics that you'd like to discuss. We look forward to seeing you there!
Please RSVP to reserve your spot; space is limited! Call
310-289-8910 or

Client Testimonial
I loved to ski. The joy of dancing down a long, steep snowy slope, feeling the strength in my
body, the rhythm of a balanced run. But alas,
after 76 years on this earth, and the humility that gravity provides so well, this made each turn into a pain in my knees, hips, back, and my psyche. But then I discovered the Egoscue way, and after working out with my amazing Egoscue therapist, I have found myself back on the slopes again this winter. Once again finding my joyfulness of a strong body, gracefully gliding down the mountain as if I were 20 years younger. A miracle that my spine can twist and turn and stabilize with balance, that my body is strong enough again to dance down the mountain to a Strauss waltz playing in my head. Playing again, in my body, and with my body...pain free. Thank you for this gift! -Sharon Kaz
~Congrats on all your hard work and dedication Sharon! We are so happy for you and here's to many more years on the slopes!~

People always ask us how Egoscue has continued to grow over the years since we don't advertise like other companies. It starts with helping one client at a time get better. Our response is simply, "You get better; then tell your friends."
Don't let those you know live in pain any longer!
