I found these videos on the net, shows quiet alot of the e-cises used in Egoscue. But please don't start just doing the exercises randomly without either reading the book or visiting a Therapist as it could cause you more harm.

Hi Dan
Good job with the blog
Sounds like things are getting a little better for you mate
I really like some the exercisers from following the book definitely the supine groin exercise, that guy from the video said he nearly broke his back and he likes the supine groin
You know the tower though, is that just in case putting the leg on the floor is to much to soon, is that the main reason for it
What condition are you, from the book I'm the secound one twisted pelvis

Hi Mate
Thanks :)
Firstly the tower ensures that your foot doesn't roll to the outside, it keeps it pointing straight up, and stops it from pronating, and this is vital to ensure you get full benefit from the exercise.
Secondly the idea is, if your hip flexors are very tight, then doing the original supine groin may be too aggressive for the hip flexors and cause the muscle to go into spasm, with the different stages, then it allows you to re-educate the hip flexors gradually reminding them of their natural length.
You don't need a tower though, a set of chest of drawers opened out at different heights will do the job well enough, just make sure you put some thing like books, or anything heavy enough to stop your extended leg from rolling to the outside as this will not allow the groin or hip flexors to relax.
Take care
Dan :)
Oh yeah about the condition, the book has 3 conditions which are the most common conditions and dysfunctions found in the clinic, but I have a bit of every dysfunction, so I'm all 3, but in a 1-1 basis with an Egoscue Practioner, they do not use the conditons 1,2 or 3, as it pigeon boxes people, and everyones body is different.
Hope that makes sense :)
Dan :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to organize these videos.
May you have only good things come to you!
