I can climb stairs with no difficulty at all. My lower back pain and stiffness has become only an occasional thing now.
About a year ago I underwent a replacement of my left hip. After years of compensating for misaligned pelvic structure my body was not functioning usefully in many ways. Physical therapy was useful at the start of my recovery from the surgery but it did not treat my alignment difficulties. My right leg was painful, my gate was off stride and I had serious difficulty with my lower back. My chiropractor recommended that I use Egoscue. I started with Antje Waxman in January with an intense two-hour daily routine. I started to see progress almost immediately. In June, Antje designed a program for me of 30-minute routines that I used on alternating days. It was again modified in August. Now I seldom have real pain. I can climb stairs with no difficulty at all. My lower back pain and stiffness has become only an occasional thing now. I still have my cane--I keep it by my door as a reminder to keep taking care of myself. Antje is thoughtful and knowledgable. She designs treatment routines to fit the needs of your body and she modifies them as you progress. In order to be successful you must be committed to your own success -- it takes energy and dedication. The results are worth the effort.
Thanks much,
