Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I know
if this product is right for me?
This program
is
intended to help those with the following
problems:
Rotator cuff
tendonitis
Rotator cuff
tears
Bursitis
Impingement
Shoulder
arthritis
Shoulder
weakness
Pain related to adhesive
capsulitis
It does not matter if you have an
acute, sub-acute or chronic
injury.
The exercises
are designed to strengthen the shoulder, improve
mobility and
resolve
pain/inflammation.
How is
your program different from others?
This program is
designed by a physical therapist
who has healed scores of patients
and clients using a medically
based program and not just some self
discovery method. It is
based on scientific research, study and
clinical
results. Most importantly, you will be able to
ask me any
questions
about the program and how to handle your own
situation.
Essentially,
you get your own personal consultant who just
happens
to be a
nationally respected therapist and fitness expert. So,
I have
the
medical expertise to answer all the tough
questions and guide
you to
success.
How
long will it take to see results?
Response to the exercises
varies
from person to person based on age,
how long the shoulder
has been
affected, daily stress placed on the shoulder,
degree of
injury,
etc. Typically, most people will
notice an improvement in 2-4
weeks provided
they follow the program as designed. While the
program is 6
weeks long, some people may need to continue beyond
that to get complete
recovery.
Will
the program help if my rotator cuff is torn?
Yes. Even if you
have a
complete tear, that does not
necessarily mean you should have
surgery.
Pain is the number one reason to have
surgery. If you can
function day
to day with minimal pain, then this e-book will provide
crucial
information on how to strengthen your shoulder and maintain
the motion in
it to continue doing the things you want on a daily basis.
Obviously,
your physician will guide this decision, but I
have seen
several people
with tears do well without surgery
provided they are
on a good
exercise program and avoid abusive
activities.
Can I
continue to lift weights in the gym if I have
rotator cuff
pain?
Generally, the answer is yes provided you make the
modifications
I spell out in the book. It is very important to avoid
harmful
shoulder exercises, heavy loads and faulty range of motion
and mechanics
while you are experiencing rotator
cuff pain.
Performing
exercise improperly is worse than doing
no exercise at
all!
In the e-book, I demonstrate how to properly modify common
exercises such
as the bench press and lateral shoulder raises to
avoid killing
your rotator cuff.
What
kind of equipment is needed to do the
program? All you
need is a
few light dumbbells, some tubing or elastic
bands and a
stability ball
or bench. The exercises are meant to be done at
home.
The pictures
and descriptions make it easy to understand even if you
have
little to no exercise experience.
Do you
recommend heat or cold? I am a huge
proponent of cold
therapy. Ice will treat the cause of your pain
(inflammation) wheras
heat will
simply stimulate large nerve receptors that serve to
interfere
with the
brain's ability to detect pain at the time. This is why you
often
feel good for
a short time after a hot shower or spell with the heating
pad, but it
quickly fades and the pain returns.
Using ice after exercise
or
at the end of the day will go
along way in reducing your pain by
attacking the
inflammation itself.
Can I
print out the manual? Yes. It
is 37 pages long. You may be
thinking
that is not very long. However, I
packed a ton of information
into each page
(not much open space just to make it longer) and
I
gave you
exactly what you need to solve your problem without a lot of
extra
fluff. So, even if you don't like
e-books, you can easily print it out
and put it in
a 3 ring binder of your own and refer to it all
the
time. |
