Brian,
Your exercises floored me. After
months of stabbing pain, just
one day of exercising and I had a major
breakthrough in
mobility and pain relief. I could
only raise my arm to the side
45
degrees with out pain. After heating
the muscles up with your
exercises I now have a full range of motion.
I know I’m on the road
to
recovery.
I’m 55 and
fit.
Thanks,
Steven

Hi
Brian,
The program is
going really well. I have almost
full mobility back
in my
arm and shoulder and no longer have any pain
except
on a
very few tasks. I am still doing
the program and each day my
arm gets
better and better. I am now able to
go back to the gym
and
enjoy my aerobics classes and
weights program without
any
discomfort. Previously I couldn't
sleep at night from the
pain
in my shoulder
and that pain has totally disappeared.
Thank you so
much. I had tried lots of other
things and medication
but
your program was the only thing that
worked. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Hi Brian,
I wanted to drop
you a line and thank you! I could not sleep
and had
a hard time
raising my arm above my head. I am
about 85% today
and
sleep great and don't have day to day pain
at all. I still have
not started
lifting weights (besides the basic stretches you
list) but
hope to get going
soon....starting slow and working my way
up.
When I first
started the excercises I actually had more pain
for a day
or so...then it
started to go away and got better and better every
day.
I keep doing the
excercises every day and look forward to
getting
back to
100%.
Thanks again,

Brian:
I really can
not believe that you have followed up with me as
you have.
I have
purchased a number of books and self-help programs
and
have NEVER had the
author contact me afterwards to see how the
information
contained in the books is being of any use to
me.
Nobody but
you, Brian.
More importantly,
the exercises REALLY WORK!!!
I have a
complete
tear: my surgeon calls it a textbook
tear, the kind that is
easily
repaired because of its location, complete
separation, and
size.
All doctors and therapists I had consulted advised
surgery
to deminish
the pain and repair the tear. When I
happened across
your book, I
thought that it couldn't help me -- but
two weeks now
into
performing the injured rotator cuff exercises, I
am taking
less pain
medication, and have ultimately decided to put off
surgery for
another month just to see how continuing the
exercises
will help. Just maybe I will not
ever need the surgery.
Thanks for
making the exercises and how to perform them so
simple.
Best investment in myself I ever
made.
Thanks
Brian.
Always
grateful,
Wende

Brian,
I just want to
tell you how much your training guide has helped
me.
I
was in pain
for such a long time, there would be days
and
nights
that I would
be in tears because the pain was so
bad
and was
taking everything under the sun to
relieve the
pain
and
NOTHING helped. I ordered
your training guide and started
using it
and HONEST within a
matter of days the pain
started
to
go away, I was just amazed, your
training guide is like a
miracle. Thank you so much.

Brian,
Thank you for your
concern. I am an artist and I
suffered a rotator
cuff
injury taking a spill on the
ski slope last new years eve. I
was not
completely debilitated but due to the
nature of my work
(painting
murals, sometimes on ceilings)
the pain was becoming
increasingly unbearably the end of a
day. Anti-inflammatory
helped some
but the problem was growing worse and I thought
I'd
have to give
up my passion or have a painful/expensive
operation
with no
guarantee of results.
It's been
one week and I have full range of motion back and
only
minor pain with some actions
and some stiffness in
the
mornings.
At this rate I should be able to do pain-free
pushups by
next week
or the week after and I'm already able to return
to painting
as long
as I'm careful and limit the hours per
day.
Thank You so
very much. Your book has saved my
career.

Brian,
I have been
using the exercise program for three days
now. Four
days ago, an
orthopedic surgeon/sports medicine
specialist
examined
me and ordered an MRI of my right shoulder.
I was
subsequently
diagnosed with a severely swollen bursa sack, and
calcium build-up
on the tendons. My right shoulder
(dominant
shoulder)
was nearly 100% locked due to the swelling,
pain
and weakness that was
present.
The Doctor
approved of the exercise program which I
purchased from you, and
recommended that I start stretching and
exercising
immediately. In
just over 72 hrs, I have used your
program of
stretching and exercises to an amazing
result. I
am nearly pain
free, have
near normal mobility, appreciable
return
of strength and a total absence of
swelling. Your
program
has
empowered me, a lay person, to
rehabilitate, recuperate and
return to
normal activities, all in the comfort of
my own home.
I am grateful
beyond measure for the resource that you provided
and I am
making your stretching and strength training
programs an
essential
element of my daily fitness and wellness
program.

Brian,
I have
had great results using your program of rotator
cuff
exercises.
After implementing a daily
routine based on your
Rotator Cuff Training Guide, I saw immediate
improvement in
shoulder performance and a reduction of
pain.
After
following your program for two weeks I saw an
orthopedic
surgeon about
my shoulders. After he examined me and
looked at
some X-rays,
and was going to recommend supervised
therapy at a
clinic.
After I told him what I had been doing at
home using your
guide,
he decided to allow me to continue
with my "at home"
therapy. My doctor had nothing to add,
so I guess he could
not
improve on what you outlined in your
book.
Thanks,

Dear Brian,
The
results over the past 4 weeks have been
amazing. I ice
pack
4 times a day, followed by self massage
of injury then
hydrotherapy
in a large spa. I then use selected
exercises from
your
book with wonderful results.
Pain has ceased at nights, I
can
swing my arm right over like in bowling
a cricket ball ( I know
you
fellas play baseball) and I
have complete movement to do all
the
daily tasks including
landscaping moving quite heavy
blocks
into position. I
can get my arm half way up my back but
dont have
to contend with a bra strap!!! So
thats no worry.
Thank you
so much for your help and encouragement.
The
next
time I see the doctor he
will be in for a
shock as he
resigned me to
pain for at
least 18 months to two years
with
little
improvement in movement ever. When
you consider that
before meeting up
with you via the internet I couldn't raise my
arm
more the 10
degrees from my side and that after 6 months of
trying.
Thanks Brian
as you have worked wonders, but it does take
perseverance
and time and I had plenty of that because I couldn't do
anything
else!I Will keep in touch. Thanks once again.

Hi,
I have now
completed week 4 of the programme and cannot
begin to
tell you what a difference this programme has
made
to my
life. After week 2, I had the first decent
nights sleep for
almost a
year - with no analgesia.
My range of motion,
though not fully recovered, has improved
markedly.
A couple of the exercises cause a bit of
discomfort so
I limit the
range of motion. I look forward to a
full and complete
recovery
soon. Thank you once again.

Thank you Brian
for the follow-up,
I've
been using your recommended exercises twice a
week
for
three weeks now and for the first time in a year I
can sleep
pain
free. I'm 53 yrs
old. I did surf twice a week and lift
weights four
times a
week. About a year ago my shoulders started
becoming
sore.
They got worse and worse so I had to begin cutting
certain
exercises out
of my routine. That didn't help and the pain
got worse.
I cut
more and more exercises and finally two months ago
I even had
to stop
surfing. Still no improvement.
Finally I got
on the Internet and after doing some research I
found
your
book. I started your exercises right
away and the first
week
the pain got
better. Now after three weeks I have
no
pain
most of the time and I'm slowly
introducing exercises back
into my
routine that I had to cut. If things keep
getting better I'll be
pain free
and back on my surfboard.
Thanks again
for all your help and my new
knowledge...

Hi
Brian,
The
exercises have certainly helped my pain relief in
the
shoulder. I am an avid gym
goer and it is very frustrating not being
able to
train
at the gym my usual routine. However after
using your
exercises
and
avoiding the routines that annoy the
shoulder I can
certainly say
that
the pain has diminished and I am on
the road to
recovery
and am confident
now that surgery in this case is not
necessary.
I did a couple of
years ago have to have part of my collar bone
removed on the
right shoulder which also had a tear in the
rotator
cuff and
feared the worst for my good shoulder.
But thanks to you
and
the exercise programmes that you have put together
I
don't
think that
surgery is now necessary.
Thank you for
taking
the time to do it
and
help people. It was a God
send
and also very
easy to find.
Best
Regards,
David

I ordered your
training book online about 5-6 weeks ago. At
that
time I hadn't
swam in 5-6 weeks due pain in my right shoulder
and I
was beginning
to feel very frustrated since rest wasn't
improving the
shoulder. Yesterday I swam
2200 meters and my shoulder felt
great.
Your book
identified what was causing the shoulder pain
(improper
lifting
technique with dumbbells was the cause of the pain
- it was
not
swimming) and provided helpful
exercises on healing and
strengthening
the shoulder area. I noticed improvements
in my
shoulder almost immediately from doing your
exercises. I
had
one set-back in the second week when I tried to do to much
too
soon, but
quickly settled into a 2-3 times per week program.
I will
continue to
provide weekly maintenance to my shoulders by
following
your program
1-2 times per week.
I now feel
ready and on target to begin my training program
for
Ironman Coeur
d'Alene. The guide was the best training
investment I have ever made. Thank you for
the helpful and
straightforward training guide.

Brian,
I am a 42 year
old martial artist. My training had
irritated a shoulder
problem
of some years and lead to a pretty bad case of
tendonitis.
I
followed my doctor's orders and used your training
regime to
rehab
my shoulder.
I have been very impressed with the
decrease in pain and overall
better mobility in the injured
joint.
I
have been able to resume almost all my normal
training in karate
with minimal
discomfort and have noticed that daily use
of the
shoulder
is now
painless.
Thank you for
providing help. My doctor had told me to
exercise the
shoulder for
strength but had given no guidance.
Your book is a
wonderful resource to those
hurting.

Brian,
I'm on
the 3rd week of the 'inflamed or injured shoulder'
excercise plan and I am really
seeing good results. I read
the
book
very thoroughly and thought
it was definitely worth the
money
I paid. By 'using
pain as my guide' and not doing too much
while focusing
on light weights and high repetitions, I
am finally able
to
go through
the day without any throbbing
pain or shooting
pain
when I reach
across my body. I
especially like some of the
new excercises
you described in the book (using the medicine
ball)
which are ones
I haven't seen before. I also like how you
have
focused on the
stabilizer muscles as well in addition to just the
cuff
muscles.
Very good job!

Brian,
I have completed
the 6 week rotator cuff rehab program and
I am
quite
impressed and grateful for this
program. Although it took
as long as 6 weeks,
I have relief from discomfort that's been
bothering me
for years, and just the education of how
the
shoulder
works and what the causes
are of rotator cuff
injuries has
been most useful.
I found the exercise guide clear
and easy to
follow. I've continued doing the
'healthy shoulder series'
and gradually adding
weight and also adding in other exercises.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
I just wanted

in
your E-Book.
He noticed a marked improvement after the

now it has been 5 weeks since we got your
book
and
his shoulders are much, much
better! Thank you so very

Brian,
Thanks for such a great
resource!! I have not been able to
throw
a
baseball/softball for many
years and for about 9 months now
have
not
been able to throw a football. I reached the "end
of my rope" the
day I found
your book online. I saw my wife throwing the
football
with my
daughter and said "THAT'S IT!! I'm going to get
proactive
and solve
my rotator cuff problem!!!!" A quick Google
search and
there you
were.
I'm
basically pain free until I try to throw something
overhand. I've
noticed I have
more range of motion since using your
"Injured
or
Inflamed Shoulder Series" for about a
week! I can make
a
slow overhand
throwing motion with no discomfort. I think you've
really got
something here!!
Thanks again,
Guy Floyd

everyone that

Thanks so much
for the e-book. It has really helped. I
purchased it
for a friend
of mine who is very devoted to his workout regimen
and
to have such
pain in his shoulder was really causing problems.
The
seven tips
also alleviated a great deal of his pain.
This was a last
resort before
going in for surgery and seems to be doing
the
trick. So thanks
again.

My
husband ordered your materials and has had a
dramatic
response. We're thrilled. He
had his left shoulder operated on
2 years ago
for impingement problems due to a bony
overhang.
The surgery
went very well and his shoulder is great. However,
his
right shoulder
has the same condition. He wants to avoid or
at
least delay
surgery there.
He has
seen a dramatic reduction in pain ( to pain free
levels) and
restriction. We now feel he
can avoid surgery.
He's been
using the materials about
3-4 weeks and it was
well
worth the cost the first
week.

Thanks for
your shoulder program. I have made
great
improvements. The pain is
basically gone, I can sleep on
my
side
again, and my strength and
flexibility in my injured left
shoulder is
improving every
day.
I'm a 48 year
old male and I had been in pain for 11
months with
very
reduced movement and tingles down the arm
etc and after
various
treatments of my own, rest, doctors, x-rays, three
different
physio's and
an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon
looming,
I found your
website and Ultimate Rotator Cuff Training
guide.
After
two or three weeks doing your Injured or Inflamed
Shoulder routines most of the
pain was gone and it's been a
steady
improvement since.

Hi
Brian,
I've
been rehabbing my rotator cuff with some of
the
techniques from your
book, and
the results have been really
good. Anyhow, I just wanted to
thank you for putting together such
a comprehensive tool. I've done quite a
bit of (poor man's)
research into
shoulder injuries myself, and it's been awhile
since
I've found any new and useful
information. Your book covers the
shoulder, it's built in flaws, and
ways to address them,
with
more precision then
anything I've come across.

Your
tips so far have helped
dramatically. Last evening I
used
the
ice on the shoulder before bed and this has
been the first time
in a long
time, I was able to go to sleep without
pain. During the
day I was
peeling peaches and I rested my arm on an
overturned
bowl while peeling and it didn't hurt
like it usually does. Thank you
for
the tips.

Brian, it is
just what I was looking for...a
straightforward
group
of
beneficial exercises to
improve my strength and
overcome
current and
future shoulder bursitis. As I
regularly do a group of
these exercises, I am making good
progress and have confidence
that
I am doing the right kind of
exercises.

I am pleased to
inform you that your training program is
working
very
well. I am using a combination of stretching,

In two weeks I

After a month I know that my strength is
returning, and my shoulder
pain continues
to diminish. Your program is definitely
working.
Thank you for
making it availible.

Brian,
Your
guides and information have been very
helpful. I was
diagnosed with
Rotator Cuff Tendinitis approximately 10 years
ago.
Since then my
ability to engage in activities I enjoy has been
limited.
I've always
tried to take care of myself and my shoulders to
keep them
healthy.
However, the information you have provided is very
up to
date and I
feel you are staying current with trends and
technologies
concerning
shoulder and general health care as they
progress.
I've
been using your guide since I purchased it and
have made
great
strides with my workouts as a
result.

Dear
Brian,
I recently ordered
and used your program for rotator cuff
injuries. I have completed the six week
program and am now
slowly
returning to my regular exercise
program. My
physician
and
therapist agree that I injured my rotator
musculature and superior
bicep
insertion apparently while doing the plank and up
dog postures
as part
of the yogi sun salutation. I was doing this
from completely
flat
on the mat in the plank position.
I exercise on a regular basis 4
days/week and
have done so for years without any significant
injuries.
The yogi
routine was new in my program. I think I
made the same
error as you
refer to in going "too deep" in various exercise
e.g.
bench
presses.
Your
program has been excellent for me and I am 95%
recovered from
the injuries. The bicep portion seems to
be
hanging
on a little longer, but I feel that it will
resolve also with time.
Brian thanks
again for your expertise and I would highly
recommend
your program to anyone that has these types of
injuries or
issues.
Thanks,
Dr

Dear Brian,
Received your
most welcomed e-mail, and I certainly thank you
for
caring.
I did real good taking my exercises
until the holidays, and
that kind of
took up all my spare time. But I'm back into
the groove
again
now. The exercises have certainly
helped my shoulder.
I
have very little pain now, and
some days I don't have any
pain. I'm sure glad I didn't go the surgery
route.
I shall
continue the exercises now and they should keep me
fit and
ready for our
busy summer. We work very hard during the
summer
with the rock
garden and also with all the Motel work. It
keeps us
going from 7am
until 11pm. Our winters are very slow, so we
get
more rest
time. Again, I thank you for your help, and
concern.

Brian,
I
ordered your e-book while deployed here in
Iraq. I've had a
nagging pain in my right shoulder for several
years, probably
stemming
from my college and post-college football playing
as a
quarterback. Additionally, I did many years of heavy
lifting without
any
strengthening of the rotator cuff muscles.
About 2 years ago,
I stopped doing any bench
pressing altogether.
I
started using your program about
3 weeks ago, and the dull
pain I've had has already been greatly
reduced, to the point
that I am doing bench press work and shoulder
work
(specifically military press and lateral raises)
again with
virtually no pain. By the
way, I've also taken your advice of
only
going to
the 90 degree point of elbow flexion for all of those
exercises. Thanks so much
for the outstanding
e-book.

I finished
the 6 week rehab program this past week -- so far
it's
looking
like a big success. I hired a swim
coach to help me correct
the stroke
flaws that were causing my shoulders to get
hurt. He put
me through
swimming workouts of 1500, 1700 and 1800 yards in
the
first week, and
I got through them without a hitch.
I'd say my
shoulders
and rotator cuffs are as good now
as they've been
in
years, and regular every day movements
are better too, not just
the swimming.
Thanks for putting
the Rotator Cuff guide together and getting it to

Hi Brian,
Thank you so much for your advice!! As I told
you, I was still in a
lot
of pain after
weeks of PT and was very
discouraged. After
only a couple of
days on your program, I felt so much
better!!!!
I
have been on your program for
about 4 weeks now, and there
are
big
blocks of time during my day that my shoulder
is not aching
and
I have
no pain at all!!!! It is a miracle!!!! All
of your tips have
worked!!!!!
And, the exercises are easy and I can do all of
them with
little or no pain!!! Thank you, thank you, thank
you!!!
Sincerely,
Sherry

Dear

I'm 4
weeks into your program and I can report that I am
pain
free!
After 5 years of
shoulder and upper arm pain, I am
extremely
happy with
the results. I no longer have the problem of
trying to find a
sleeping
position that does not put pressure on either of
my shoulders
and for the
first time in years I can drive with my hands at

minutes to
two position on the wheel. I can
honestly say that the
results
have surpassed my
