The Egoscue Method........

......of Health Through Motion.
I'd like to thank Trudi  for lending me this book.
If it wasn't for the fact that, right from the beginning, the author stresses that however misaligned and disfunctional a person has become through not using their body efficiently and correctly, it can all be rectified, this book would be very depressing indeed.
Standing relaxed in front of a mirror and following the guidelines set out in the book, the reader is able to self diagnose any faults in posture. I have only read the first 4 chapters and already I know that my feet are splayed outwards, my kneecaps are angled outwards, my shoulders are rolled forward and stay in that position because I am not bearing weight in the functional four socket position with the head, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles in alignment. Also, my right shoulder is lower than my left. Gulp, I am disfunctional in many ways. LOL, I've already phoned the knacker man!!!
The book is fascinating and despite the fact that I'm sure the faults that I've mentioned are just the start and there will be more, I'm so looking forward to working my way through the rest of the book and finding the relevant exercises to fix myself!

As a complete contrast, I glanced up whilst reading, to see Bonbon walking down the field - it was magic, she was striding out, her neck stretched and lowered, she was completely relaxed, I could see her muscles rippling and her summer coat was gleaming in the sun. Corny I know, but it was poetry in motion.
