LeBron James – Time to Find Egoscue

LeBron you body is talking to you… your performance has show during your series against the Celtics. Listen to your body King James its time to bring your body back into balance. Great blog from Egoscue Portland : LeBron James’ Elbow Injury: The Tip Of The Iceberg

We have been watching you King James and your stance is really jumping out as painful. Now I can’t help but see he is loading his right leg more then his left. One shoulder is higher than the other.

What have you noticed?

Have You Touched Your Toes Lately?

During your Egoscue session the therapist may ask…

Question: Can you touch your toes?

My Answer was Always: No. It seemed I was 6 inches away and there was no hope.

My Original Reasons Why This Answer was a “NO”: Hamstrings are too tight

This week we added a new sequence to my menu. Thank you Pete for creating this new sequence of e-cises. During the e-cise I felt lots of different muscles working, especially in my right hip flexors and even SI joint. I was not completely comfortable but not in any pain.

Then the question was asked again after the new sequence… Can you touch your toes? I was just about to say “No” and then my hands were on my toes.

I think fireworks when off!! Or at least in my head. Now I have created my NEW theory on the “Real” reason for me to have not touched my toes before. My answer now is not that my hamstrings are too tight, because the e-cises didn’t even have me engage or do any resistance to my hamstrings. Granted the hamstrings might be tight but thats not the source of the problem. So I know my hamstrings are the same as they were when I started. BUT my hips were not capable of rotating forward to allow the position. The light went off in my head…its all about my hips.

My self discover is the one thing that keeps me coming back for more Egoscue. The therapist just asked the right questions and I feel like I truly came up with my own diagnosis!!
