"After 20 years of doctors, chiropractors, biofeedback practitioners and experts in all fields, nothing has helped me more than Egoscue! Coming from chronic pain and not wanting to move, I am now just a very happy camper. I enjoy my life again! Words cannot express how grateful I am!"

"I finished the (1/2 marathon) race without hip or leg pain!!! Thanks you for all those exercises that helped."

"I could not straighten my injured left leg because of a “flap” on the torn meniscus. My doctor told me I needed surgery to correct the flap. But the pain was even worse in my right foot. I had plantar fasciitis and a bad bone spur on that heal. Every time I took a step pain shot up my leg. Unbelievably, six Egoscue visits later the pain from my bone spur was completely gone and I could straighten the leg my doctor told me would be impossible without surgery. I have become an advocate for Egoscue. Do yourself a favor; check out Egoscue before you consider surgery. Some simple exercises might help you avoid the cost and recovery time of medical intervention."

"Kelly, today was day three...and not only is pain gone, but I feel myself healing – I can’t tell you the gratitude I’m feeling for Pete Egoscue and for you also – for the kindness and care you’ve shown me."

"I am SO HAPPY because my arm is 97% better! I can raise it right along with the other one, perfect! I am so excited! I love it!"

"Hi Matt, couldn't wait to tell you I ALREADY have blessed relief from ALL my painful locations and I've only done 4 of the exercises, they really did the trick. Bless you for your help and understanding this morning. I was 'on the ropes.' Affectionate regards to all."

"This past summer, during my bi-annual trip to the dentist, I again had trouble with TMJ. My dentist told me that there had been studies that TMJ may be posture related and recommended Egoscue. I always thought I had fairly good posture, but with the constant pain in my jaw I was ready to give anything a try. After just one session the pain in my jaw was nearly gone. If I do my exercises my jaw feels great. I can laugh, sing and chew most foods with little or no pain. Thanks Martin and thanks Egoscue."

"Hey Matt, I have to tell you that the workshop was definitely life-changing! My shoulder was so much better the next morning!!!!!!!! Thanks so much!"

"I have been utilizing the Egoscue Method in my practice for several years now with great results. I consider structural correction to be the number one focus in our clinic. Just about everyone leaving our clinic gets an Egoscue book as there manual for continued self correction. Many people who have needed countless chiropractic visits for decades to remain pain free have been able to feel a new sense of control over their own physical health with these exercises. There is hardly a patient I have that could not benefit from this innovative technique for self correction."

"I was originally skeptical that Egoscue could improve my performance much, but when training for the Olympic trials, every bit helps. I'm embarrassed to say that I now spend a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror thinking, 'Wow, is that really me???' I've toned areas of my body that I’ve never been able to get fit. My posture is so much better, I actually measure a ½ inch taller. I’m recruiting muscles that are more powerful and efficient than the ones I had patterned before. People keep commenting that I walk and run so much smoother than in the past. Best of all, I'm saving big bucks on massage therapy because I haven't experienced my usual training pains, despite the fact that I've doubled my mileage over last year. On top of the new physical strength and efficiencies, the greatest impact has been the mental confidence I’ve gained as a side benefit from watching my body progress right before my eyes. At 44 years of age, I feel as strong and fit as I did when I competed in gymnastics as a teenage. I recommend the Egoscue program to athletes of all ages and levels, as well as to those who simply want to get fit or reduce chronic pain."

"Matt, I wanted to thank you. I worked with you quite a bit during my rehab and I couldn't have done it without your guidance and knowledge. Thank you so much for helping me recover in a few months time. Before I ever got misaligned, I had planned on climbing the West Ridge of Mt. Stuart. I put a summit date on my calendar back in early May. I built my whole rehab timeline around getting my body ready to do Mt Stuart on August 16th. And...on August 15th I bivied up on the ridge with a team of 4. We woke at 5am and did a 13 hour push to climb the West Ridge. It was an amazing climb."

"The Egoscue group fitness class is one of the greatest things I have done for my life! I started out doing one-on-one therapy and eliminated my hip and knee pain. After the pain was gone I joined the group class to gain strength, build endurance, and keep the pain away. My goal was to ride my mule with my husband again. In the year and a half that I have been in class I am now able to walk downhill and go up stairs (both very painful before Egoscue), and pain relieving drugs are almost non-existent. Last June I was able to ride my mule, Lily, into Hells Canyon!"

"I have been using the Egoscue Method since 2002 and first I want to say that the program saved my life. I am now 67 and I was first told my knees were arthritic at age 20. I have been a very active person my entire life, enjoying downhill skiing, running, hiking, biking, square dancing, and diving. I have had lots of pain for over 40 years and they have wanted to replace my right knee for over 20 years. I keep telling them that 'I walked in here and I’m going to walk out.' I have had five surgeries, but I never let them replace the knee.

By 2002 I had been in so much pain for the prior 3 years that I could not take it anymore. I was ready to end it all, and had planned for January in Belize, and I decided that I’d dive to the bottom of Blue Hole and cut off my oxygen tank. Life had lost all meaning.

One day while walking through a bookstore, Pete’s book Pain Free jumped off the shelves at me. I read it cover to cover and it was the first glimpse of hope I had seen in many years. I started doing the menus out of the book, but did everything wrong. I had the privilege of going to the Portland, Oregon clinic while we lived there and with Matt’s guidance we got things going down the right path.

I am doing things now that I have not done since my early 40’s, including doing 25 mile mountain bike rides! I have only had 3 days spent totally in bed because of pain since starting Egoscue. Prior to Egoscue this was a common practice. I was told by doctors that I would always have pain because my knees are bone-on-bone. I have entire whole days with no pain at all!

My husband and I have all the books and have given away at least two dozen Pain Free books. I have received emails from people I do not remember meeting saying their lives have been changed! I guess I am an evangelist for your program. I want to say thank you for your program, I have total trust in the Egoscue Method and your wisdom.

My dream is to run again. I told Matt with tears running down my face that it is the one thing I hope to do by the time I am 70.

Your program gives more than hope...it saved my life."

"My Egoscue Experience. I tweaked my back moving a large trunk and the next day, I was really hurting. I went to several doctors who took X-rays and an MRI and said I had two herniated disks (L4 and L5) and I would probably need surgery. All I know is that I could not sit, stand up straight, or get comfortable enough to sleep because of excruciating pain in by back and down my leg and this had been going on for over three weeks by this time. I had a very important annual business meeting coming up and my ability to make the trip was in serious doubt.

I was referred to Egoscue by a friend who was having remarkable results after years of pain and $10,000 in other treatments that did not work. When I first went to Egoscue Portland, I met Matt Whitehead and the rest is truly a remarkable testament to the work these Egoscue therapists do to give people their lives back.

Matt was very compassionate and the program he designed for me was exactly the information my muscles needed to receive in order to restore my posture and eliminate my pain. I bought the book ‘Pain Free,’ by Pete Egoscue, and was relieved to learn that my herniated disks were truly a positive thing, not something that needed to be operated on. My body was protecting me from further damage.

After two weeks of working with Matt and doing my menu daily, I was pain free and strong enough to make the cross country flight to Florida for my company meeting. I danced with wild abandon, song after song, and did not feel any discomfort or pain the following day.

I have introduced many people to Egoscue and can see the difference it is making in their lives. And I use it before Yoga, walking or any other physical activity. Egoscue creates awareness and provides the proactive mindset for a vital life. I work within the wellness industry and counsel people on finding balance in mind, body and spirit. I have become somewhat of an evangelist for how the human body is a miracle and that when given the right nutrients it can renew, rebuild and rejuvenate its self. After my Egoscue experience I see how posture and correct motion are an integral part of this process.

Thank you, Matt! And the entire team at Egoscue Portland."
