Shoulder Pain?: The Solution & Prevention Paperback – 20 January 2010

Its really good and very new concept. Would like to try it for sure. I think it definitely works. The author is an experienced doctor and has lot of evidence to prove his theory.

Understanding the anatomy goes a long way inrecuperating from shoulder injuries. Thanks for various scan images used to explain the exercise.

Pain free for 3 months! If you have shoulder pain and/or weakness when lifting the milk jug from the frig or the shampoo from the window ledge in the shower - this book is for you.I have suffered from shoulder impingement and other injuries over the last 2-3 years. If not the left shoulder, then right shoulder, etc. I would pause working out for for 1-2 months to heal, hit the gym, then re-injure sooner or later. Tried Physical Therapy for 6 weeks. It was a short term fix. More pain.YouTube has no end of advice on how to resolve shoulder pain; however, I noticed a number of PT's mentioning Dr. Kirsch's book. The Doc is an orthopedic surgeon. I bought it. It is an interesting book of 135 pages - variety x-rays, MRI's, and anatomical graphics explaining the root cause to your shoulder pain and a simple and elegant solution that does not require surgery or super human strength or agility.Page 73 says it all: Just start hanging. No pullups, no ab crunches, no acrobatic dismounts. Get/find a bar to hang from. I use a step stool. I do not hang my entire 200+ lbs - my toes touch the ground. You may need to start with 30 seconds at time. Shoot for a total of 2 minutes a day.MIND THE GAP===========In 2 weeks, I made the significant 80% progress. As described in the book, hanging stretches more open the acromion gap where shoulders tendons and muscles have to slip through. As you age, the 'CA Arch' can bend causing the gap to shrink. Less gap means more impingement. Over time, hanging widens the gap.I will be hanging for the rest of life. Do I do other shoulder exercises? Absolutely! Hanging widens the gap, but it does not strengthen the shoulder muscles. I use the rubber band exercises from PT to strengthen those muscles, as I feel that many atrophied over the years.With shoulder pain, I could barely lift the milk jug. Now I can bench press 140lbs for 5 reps and deadlift 180lbs for 15 reps. (Yes, I know, these are not fantastic personal records for young bucks in the gym - but when you are early 60's and barely lifting your arm above your head..... they are awesome : )I know it sounds too simple to be true.... Well, it is simple and true, which is why I am writing this review...Good luck!

5 Jahre Schulterschmerzen mit Schleimbeutelentzündung und Sehnenentzündung.Physiotherapie und Kortisonspritzen haben zu einem gewissen Grad geholfen, die Ursache (verengter Subacromialraum) blieb aber unverändert und somit Schmerzen bei gewissen Bewegungen bzw. Belastungen.Nach nur 1,5 Monaten Ausführung der Übung laut Buch ist meine Schulter schmerzfrei und ich kann wieder Sport machen.Absolute Kaufempehlung!

So I never leave reviews. I don't think I've ever left a review on Amazon. But this books warrant a review.so where do I start? I injured my should 10 years ago. I fell over whilst playing football (soccer for Americans :) ).Over the years my should grew progressively worse and it didn't help when I went through a 4 year period battering and working through pain in the gym. Enough became enough when I went to 6 months physio. Although the physio did help it was never 100%. I'll say it got it to 60% in some areas but after stop physio I developed other overhead pain such as fitting a light bulb.I'll say though that my life carried on normal for the most pat the same. The should pain just restricted my gym workouts because of the pain. Day to day life was not restricted, I just worked around the pain when it was present.In 2019 I finally did a shoulder Operation, followed by more physio. The Op seemed to help in some ways but again, my shoulder became worse in other areas.After googling and youtubing for years, I found a youtube video (bob & Brad) about hanging for shoulder pain. They also referenced this book. After further investigations I decided to buy this book.Unfortunately, this was during the first UK covid lockdown so I had no proper bar to hang on however, I decide to improvise and was hanging on the landing above my stairs at home. I followed the book instructions and after 3 sessions I saw remarkably good improvements. Once the gyms were opened and I started hanging properly and my results sky rocket in just a few session!!!I would not say I am 100% but I am at least 96%+, if not more. and my progress has been hampered by gym closures again and again! When the gyms are closedThis book has been a revelation and a life saver. I have been depressed about my shoulder but now I am happy I can do pain free push ups, mostly pain free bench press, and pain free pulls ups!! every day niggly pain have gone for the most part. I am so so so happy and I feel confident I can take up martial arts (as I always wanted to). I will 110% recommend this book or simply just hanging for anyone.

This is amazing stuff. I have had problems with calcific shoulder tedonitis since 2005 and I can see this is the road to recovery. This will literally open up more space in the shoulder joint and decrease inflamation. Your doctor won't believe it but what have you got to lose. I tried many different doctor suggested remedies but the proble keeps coming back. Finally a simple strategy developed by an orthopedic surgeon who developed shoulder problems and worked his way out of it. Magic happens sometimes.

It gives you a totally different solution to shoulder problem so why not try it if you really want to solve your shoulder pain
