Have Completed a Month of E-cises for my Neck....

and I love Egoscue!! It's been months since I've written, and in that time my neck got pretty stiff! I could lift my chin and turn my head to the left, but not to the right because it just wouldn't go there without pain. So for the past month, once or twice almost every day, I did the five Egoscue E-cises for the neck, and voila, you should see me move my neck now!

It still makes crackling noises, but I am not complaining.

I have moved on to the HIPS now. This is because for the past several months (yes folks I am aging - but not for long!) my left hip feels like it's turned out to the left and so when I bend over it feels weird. Plus my left foot has always been super everted (turned outward). So today was my second day on the hip e-cises. I am confident it will improve.

And by the way, I am just doing the "Pain Free" menus, straight from the book.

I just wish I could better explain to others why Egoscus is so necessary for so many of us. The best I can do is say: we are not aligned! Our ankles, knees, hips, shoulders and head are not stacked in a straight line as they should be.

More soon.
