Aches and Gains show

Summary: Musculoskeletal pain affects the bones, joints, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the body. Often, overuse, repetitive strain, or trauma results in tenderness, muscle spasms, and even weakness. Musculoskeletal pain is among the most common reasons for seeing a doctor and affects about 30% of adults. Treating this type of pain can be tough, but our first guest, Pete Egoscue has developed a unique method of providing an exercise therapy program that focuses on posture realignment. Pete has been an anatomical physiologist since 1978, and been a consultant to some of the biggest names in sports, including Jack Nicklaus. We’ll learn about his techniques and then hear from Rod Susman, a professional tennis player and longtime client of The Egoscue Method.
