Oh man, this is exciting to be able to share with you.

The other day I stumbled across a solid home rehabilitation plan for dealing with rotator cuff pain.  It was released by Certified Professional Fitness Trainer (CPFT), Mark Watson, and is called the Rotator Cuff Recovery Kit.

Mark has had a lot of experience working with injured rotator cuffs.  Instead of having to pay him, or someone else, heavy prices for physical therapy, he has made this information available to the public in easily digestible chunks.

What most people don’t realize is that the bulk of rotator cuff injuries can be dealt with non-surgically.  This is a critical fact as surgeries are not only expensive, but they require some serious downtime to recover.  Often this time period is just as uncomfortable, if not more so, than the injury itself was.  Also, surgeries don’t address the underlying weaknesses that lead to the injury in the first place, so recurrences are possible.

In this toolkit you’ll find:

  • How to seriously reduce rotator cuff pain within 48 hours and cure the problem entirely within 30 days.
  • A blueprint to rotator cuff pain relief that only takes 5 minutes every other day and can be done with household equipment.
  • How to not only stop the pain, but strengthen your shoulder to prevent recurrences.
  • 12 little-known advanced exercises that help greatly accelerate your shoulder’s healing time and increase your range of motion fast.
  • Thousands of dollars worth of savings by avoiding cortisone injections, creams, acupuncturists, physical therapists, and surgeries.
  • The confidence to get back to your normal routine or even to start up activities that you thought you couldn’t do anymore.

What Stands Out About The Rotator Cuff Recovery Kit?

There are a few similar guides out there, but what makes this one stand out is the videos.

It comes with over 40 instructional videos.  In my opinion, that’s huge.  Most similar guides give you the theory and then the pictures of the exercises and stretches only.  While this can work, it depends on your style and can be very impersonal.  The videos can also be conveniently played on most mobile devices.

Check out the Rotator Cuff Recovery Kit and drop back by and leave a comment.  I’d love to hear about how it helped you.

When you have rotator cuff pain, you don’t feel like doing much. Even simple tasks can be such an overwhelming chore. As a result, most rehabilitation programs are challenging to say the least. And the harder they are, the less likely you are to stick with them to be able to get them to work for you. But I’ve stumbled across a program that can completely eliminate your rotator cuff pain in only a few minutes per day. It’s called “Shoulder Pain No More” by former sufferer of shoulder pain, Joe Brent.

This guide gives you exactly what you need to put rotator cuff pain behind you for good, and it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Rotator Cuff Pain Relief Guide1.Quick diagnosis- Learn what kind of rotator cuff pain you have quickly. When you know exactly what you have you can pinpoint the fastest pathway to recovery without any wasted effort. Your treatment options for each problem will then be covered.

2. Rapid Recovery- This is a two-pronged approach of stretching and exercise.

A.  Stretching reduces stiffness and increases range of motion. When you stretch you also improve blood flow to an area, jumpstarting the healing process. You’ll learn the exact stretches to target your problem area.

B.  Most people avoid exercise when they are sore, but when done in the proper manner it can actually improve your recovery time. You’ll learn which exercises you need to do and the exact weight you should be using to help end your rotator cuff pain. The wrong form or amount of weight will either do little to help you or make the injury worse.

3. Prevention- There are all too common mistakes that lead to rotator cuff and shoulder injuries. These behaviors are like ticking time bombs for a recurrence of the injury if not altered. You’ll learn how to strengthen the muscles and joints so this problem won’t plague you ever again. Your rotator cuffs won’t stand up to bullets, but most anything you could throw at them during the day should be fine.

 

Requirements and Notes for This Rotator Cuff Pain Relief Guide

You can put this guide to use at home with no special equipment. You do need some sort of weight to use as you progress, but Joe says that this can be covered by a bag of sugar if you have nothing else. You don’t need a lot of weight to work the rotator cuff.

It offers a complete solution for any shoulder pain you may be experiencing that does not require surgical intervention. Most any injury that didn’t leave you bawling like a baby should be covered, but it is important to know which is which. Despite the guide being doctor-recommended, a visit to the doctor is always a good place to start. But, if you’re not ready for that, this rotator cuff pain relief guide can teach you how to diagnose what type of pain you are experiencing.

 

The treatment for rotator cuff pain varies slightly depending on what the pain stems from.  The good news is that even some of the more extreme rotator cuff injuries can be taken care of nonsurgically.

As most rotator cuff problems stem from some sort of rotator cuff trauma, some of the same treatments apply across the board.  For the initial stages of rotator cuff pain following a trauma, treat it as you would any muscle injury.  The acronym RICE is used for treatment.  This stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation.  Anti-inflammatory medications can also be used if necessary.  This applies more if the problem is from tendonitis, bursitis, or arthritis.  For bursitis it may be necessary to remove fluid from the bursal sac.  See a doctor for this.

Rotator cuff problems are often chronic as those who have suffered from an injury never take care of the underlying cause.  After the rotator cuff pain subsides, you should begin doing some stretches and exercises that target the rotator cuffs.

Poor flexibility is one of the primary causes of muscle injury in a non-strenuous environment.  When you’re at the limits of your range of motion, your muscles tense.  As you stretch the muscles begin to relax and lengthen.  Limited range of motion means that your muscles will be tenser during normal activities, and you’ll likely get an unwelcome surprise sooner or later.

The video below covers three good stretches for your rotator cuffs (not exercises, despite the video title).  The introduction covers common rotator cuff problems, their causes, and primary treatment options.  It’s a bit verbose, but it has some good information.  To jump right to the stretches, just skip to around 3:50.  And always remember to start with slow, gentle stretches.  If you’re too gung-ho about it, you can pull something.

 

The next video covers some good exercises for strengthening your rotator cuffs.  Ignore any references to volleyball, the exercises work for anyone to combat rotator cuff pain and weakness.  Feel free to start without any resistance as these muscles are relatively delicate by nature.  The last thing you want to do is cause a new injury while trying to rehabilitate an old one.

What most experience as “shoulder pain” is actually rotator cuff pain.  The rotator cuff is comprised of four muscle groups and their tendons that are commonly rather weak in comparison to most muscles.  The purpose of the rotator cuff is stability of the shoulder.  Weak rotator cuffs mean unstable shoulders, which in turn lead to injuries.  This doesn’t have to be from a single burst of effort.  In fact, most rotator cuff problems occur from repetitive activities.  Such activities include tennis, baseball, volleyball, football, swimming, and boxing to name just a few.  Weight lifters can experience rotator cuff pain as well if demonstrating poor lifting technique or due to an imbalanced lifting routine.

Rotator Cuff Diagram

Above is shown the muscles of the rotator cuff. The supraspinatus is responsible for arm abduction. The infraspinatus and teres minor muscles work to externally rotate the arm. The subscapularis muscle is responsible for the internal rotation of the humerus. Also note the location of the bursal sac if you feel bursitis might be the cause of your rotator cuff pain.

Injuries like this can become more common due to muscular imbalances, caused by activity or merely poor posture.  The posture you sleep in is also included as laying on your arm or shoulder may pinch off a nerve.

The rotator cuff is used, at least in part, during any rotational motion of the arm as a whole.  Although that includes most of the motions you make, it doesn’t mean that a rotator cuff tear or injury will make it so you can’t use your arm at all.  Since the muscles of the rotator cuff are used in different motions, rarely will you injure more than one of them at a time.  It will be described, generally, as rotator cuff pain as fewer people understand the how the individual tendons and muscles are used well enough to give a more specific description.  The most common rotator cuff injury is to the supraspinatus muscle (see caption for more information).

Overexertion is one of the most common causes of rotator cuff pain.  I will define overexertion, in this case, as any motion or activity that leads to a rotator cuff injury.  While this can be from heavy activity, mundane movements can also lead to such injuries if a sedentary lifestyle has weakened one’s rotator cuffs.  This weakness can be attributable to other factors other than just lack of activity.  Age alone can cause deterioration of these muscles.

Other reasons for rotator cuff pain include tendonitis, bursitis, and arthritis.  The suffix -itis generally translates to inflammation of.  So in other words these are inflammations of the tendons, bursae (sacs filled with fluid, located between the bones and tendons or the tendons and the skin), and joints, respectively.  Ironically enough, some of the common causes of those are also injuries or overexertion.  Because of that, most rotator cuff pain can be prevented by taking the correct precautions in the first place.
