From the Worldwide Best-Selling Treat Your Own Series, this Book offers Education and Self-Treatment Techniques to Help Prevent or Reduce Pain and Regain Mobility

There are many different names for shoulder pain including tendonitis, rotator cuff strain or tear, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, capsulitis, and arthritis. Unfortunately, many medical professionals focus on labeling the condition without offering an effective way to resolve it which can sometimes result in unwanted shoulder surgery. Common treatments including medications, injections, acupuncture, ultrasound, TENS or inferential therapy often provide short-term benefit, but the pain often reappears. If you are one of the millions of people struggling with persistent shoulder pain, this book provides education and a systematic exercise sequence to help abolish pain and, where appropriate, to restore normal function.

Written by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie, Treat Your Own Shoulder provides a rational explanation for the causes of joint pain, specifically shoulder pain and explains how, over time, unhealthy posture can contribute significantly to shoulder pain. You will receive education on postures, activities and exercises you can do to remain free of disabling symptoms. You will also receive advice on how to avoid detrimental forces of daily living and how to apply beneficial strategies.

Color photos and simple step-by-step instructions show you how to perform a systematic exercise sequence with shoulder stretches that can be done just about anywhere to help treat and prevent pain. The shoulder therapy exercise program includes details on when to perform exercises, how to determine if you’re ready to move on to the next exercise, how to perform the exercises correctly, what to do when the pain has subsided, and how to prevent recurrence of pain.

In Treat Your Own Shoulder you’ll learn:

About the role of the neck in shoulder painHow to determine if your pain is coming from your neck or your shoulderThe basic anatomy of the scapula, shoulder and neck regionThe functions of the shoulder region and why it’s vulnerable to strains and overstretchingThe basics of mechanical shoulder back painHow unhealthy posture strains the shoulder over timeHow to practice healthy posture and improve joint healthCommon causes of shoulder pain and how to manage itHow to treat a frozen shoulderHow the McKenzie Method worksA simple exercise sequence that offers a systematic approach to treating shoulder painColor photos and details showing when and how to perform the exercisesLifestyle and healthy posture habits to help treat and prevent recurrence of shoulder pain

In 1968, Robin and his wife Joy sewed their first lumbar roll at the kitchen table, and in 1980 Robin’s first book Treat Your Own Back was published. Celebrated for his contributions to the physiotherapy profession, Robin is recognized internationally.
