Egoscue Portland

A client made me smile this week with an answer I wasn't expecting.

🚨 Have you ever done a "risk assessment" before bending over to pick something up?

This week, I asked a client what the highlight of his week was.

He paused for a moment, laughed, and said, "I picked up my wife's glasses off the floor!"

Of course, I had to ask him to explain.

He told me that whenever something ends up on the floor, he has to decide whether it's worth bending over to get it. The fear? That his back might "go out."

If you've ever hesitated before picking something up, loading groceries, gardening, installing a child seat, making the bed, or even tying your shoes, you're not alone.

Another client this week, a grandmother of two young children, asked me, "Have you ever tried installing child seats in the back seat of a car?" She shared the same concern about her back.

The truth is, bending shouldn't be a dangerous activity.

Our hips, spine, and shoulders are designed to work together as a team. When the body is balanced and aligned, everyday movements become easier, safer, and more comfortable.

That's what I love about Egoscue. The exercises help restore balance and function so your body can do what it's meant to do—whether that's picking something up off the floor, gardening, crabbing, playing with grandchildren, or simply moving through daily life with confidence.

One of my personal favorites is the Airbench. It helps release tension in my back, keeps my hips balanced, and strengthens my legs.

What's your favorite Egoscue exercise that helps you feel more confident in your body? I'd love to hear!
