On the STANDING E-cises:

For a full set of pictures and descriptions of the e-cises, see the Egoscue books.

SOME images and descriptions are provided herein, via links in the table below, to give a fairly clear idea of the nature of the e-cises.

Some of the e-cises listed here may not be mentioned in the Egoscue books, but may have been mentioned (and described) at the www.egoscue.com web site (in 2006).

These tables include the suggested duration or repetitions of each e-cise.

Once you become familiar and experienced with the exercises that are best for you, the descriptions will probably not be necessary, but the suggested duration/repitions may come in handy, say via printout --- especially if you do not do some of the e-cises very often.
