Pain Free for Women

End chronic pain safely, naturally, and permanently with easy-to-follow, practical advice from the renowned physiologist and author of Pain Free.

“Women today not only deserve but should expect a pain-free, active lifestyle, no matter their age, no matter their previous experience.”

In his famed San Diego clinic, Pete Egoscue has taught women the Egoscue Method for permanent chronic pain relief without prescription painkillers, physical therapy, or surgery. In Pain Free for Women, he shares his specially adapted “Pain Free” method for women to use at home. Whether you suffer from back or neck pain, joint discomfort or sore knees, or need more stamina, improved balance, and extra strength, here is a revolutionary proven program of holistic exercise that will transform the way you move and feel—forever!

Focusing on proper alignment, posture, and muscle engagement, Egoscue provides simple but powerful techniques to restore flexibility and function while at the same time boosting energy, revving up the immune system, even raising the body’s metabolic rate. Organized by the seasons of a woman’s life, Pain Free for Women pays particular attention to age-specific concerns such as puberty, childbirth, and menopause, as well as special issues such as arthritis, PMS, and depression.

The remarkable “e-cises” in Pain Free for Women have been linked to improved ability to fight disease, cope with aging, and recover from accidents and injuries. You’ll find many other astonishing benefits, including:

• Better balance, posture, and breathing, as well as increased resiliency
• Effective and safe weight management
• Healthy bone density and visual acuity
• Heightened sex drive
• Delayed symptoms of aging
• Peace of mind and general tranquility

Extensively illustrated to demonstrate proper placement, posture, and movement, Pain Free for Women offers women of every age the possibility of feeling better than ever before.
