Shoulder Pain? the Solution & Prevention, Fourth Edition (Paperback) - Common

I dont know what the earlier revisions of the booklet were like but I got the kindle copy yesterday having seen recommendations on youtube. The theory is sound and although it is painful and my shoulder is very weak having not hung or lifted for six months on it I will try my very best.I tore my subscapularis & infraspinatus six moths ago & physio has gotten me to 100% ROM. Now it is time for the final stage of rehab - a return of strength which I rate presently as 10% of my former glory.I compressed my acromium with years of heavy weight vest training & kettlebell pressing.

This is a wonderful bookEasy to read and adapt to

Good ideas on solving shoulder issues

I saw a physical therapy video about hanging, and they referenced this book. I have developed rotator cuff tendinitis from a job with a lot of keyboarding/mousing, and I was pretty debilitated. I could not do my work, could not put things in high cabinets, nor pull shirts off over my head so I could only wear button diwn shirts. Osin would wake me up and was not helped ny ibuprofe ice or heat.I tried physical therapy etc. Eventually what helped me was acupuncture plus doing this hanging. I have to say it was amazingly helpful, I was really surprised. I can pretty much do anything with my shoulders now except more than minimal typing and keyboarding. I have to say I guess it did not help enough for me to return to those activities. Maybe over time it will or maybe it would help someone else with that I don’t know. I still only can do that job with voice dictation and a special mouse now. But, I can do everything else including working out with weights again and am pain free with good range of motion. The hanging started helping almost immediately, I could really feel the stretch in so many muscles. I had to start with only 10 - 30 seconds with most of the weight on my feet. I worked up to 2 1/2 minutes and it no longer feels uncomfortable. Book is thin and seems a little cheaply printed but is full of good information clearly conveyed. I have to say most of the information was on that one physical therapy video I saw (except for the fact that the three simple additional exercises, must be done with your palm facing down). Still there is some extra information in the book, so I think it’s worth buying particularly if you are someone who has any actual shoulder problem (rather than someone using it for prevention – he says we should all be hanging every day even to maintain shoulder health). They tell you where you can buy hooks to hang longer because your grip strength becomes the limiting factor in my experience. But I planted just gradually build up my scripts drink instead.My brother was having non-specific shoulder pain and had to stop working out. I gave him this information and it helped him pretty quickly, he is cautiously starting to work out again with success. He said it made a big difference.I’m so grateful to this Australian orthopedic surgeon for writing this book!
