Egoscue of Philadelphia

Our Story

Joan Adams (Clinc Co-Owner) As a young mother I loved to exercise. It served as my "me" time and helped me feel whole and healthy so that I could take care of my family the best way possible. When I reached my early 30’s the normal everyday aches and pains seemed to increase tremendously even though my workouts felt really good. I assumed my form during exercise was not quite right and figured that if I learned more then I could “fix” what I felt happening. So I decided to go to school and learn what I could about exercise and its effect on the body. It was great! I loved learning the science and taking the activities classes BUT as time moved on my pain levels continuously increased. I carried on my search, learning different exercise methods in an attempt to figure out a way to get myself out of pain while still exercising but was disappointed every time. Then in my late 40’s I was given the Pain Free book by Pete Egoscue and I knew from the moment I read the disclaimer that this experience was going to be different than any other thing I had encountered! I loved Pete’s belief and still do that “health care starts with personal responsibility” and that “any disclaimer suggesting otherwise does a great disservice.” I learned everything I could about the Method and opened the Philadelphia clinic in the fall of 2014. I am consistently awed by the power of the human body and its ability to correct itself if given the right opportunity.

My long road to Egoscue…

I learned early on in life “if you don’t want to work, then you truly must love what you do”. That has followed me through 3 small businesses, and I learned along the way, then what you’re not happy any longer it’s time to move on.
