Hiker, I like this idea of posting regular progress updates, it is very useful! I am going to try and do something similar myself.

Btw, I followed the Edgelow protocol and some modification of it with Steve for quite a while last year. Good to hear a story similar to mine. Thanks to Steve (he's the most honest, straightforward PT I've met so far!), I was able to get rid of my immediate nagging pain and felt significantly better.

After a while, though, I felt that the full solution was in a more comprehensive posture correction, so I started to see the Egoscue folks. For example, I noticed that apart from problems with my right arm, shoulder, scapula, I also had pain in my right hip, right knee and foot. I was not and am not yet sure if these are cause or effect but it felt like addressing all of them together might yield more progress.

All the best and let me know if you have any questions.
