5 out of 5 stars At home physical therapy for shoulder issues (Good not Great)   March 17, 2010

This book has it all. The only draw back is the photos are not as clear and they could be. Otherwise a good source for those after a shoulder injury or surgery recovery. A lot of exercises with a short techincal review of the shoulder. Would buy again

I play tennis and tore cartilege in my shoulder a couple years ago, requiring surgery. I hope to never go through that experience again. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful physical therapist who worked with me through my rehab. I now realize how delicate the shoulder joint is and the importance of keeping it strong and healthy. Many of the exercises in this book are what my therapist had me doing for my rehab and ongoing strength development. Regardlesss of your sport, and even if you don't play sports, I strongly recommend this book to keep your should healthy. It has different chapters focused on various strenghtening movements depending on what your need is. It's one of the best books on physical fitness I own. I heard the author on a local radio station and that's how I came to discover this gem.


5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly comprehensive   February 26, 2010

The blurb on the front of the book indicates that it contains 100 exercises for the shoulder and rotator cuff. In reality, the book is much more than just that. In a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read manner, the author explains a great deal about the workings of the shoulder, what can go wrong, what types of activities to avoid, and finally a number of good strengthening and stretching techniques for the rotator cuff. I learned more from reading this book than two months of physical therapy. Although I already knew what exercises to do for the rotator cuff, I was rather ignorant of what exercises and motions I needed to avoid. No wonder I keep having so many repeat problems!

Everything from the most gentle of moves to great tried and true strengthening. They have routines based on lifestyle and a lot of great moves for those deep foundation muscles. Nothing at all complicated but highly effective. I would recommend this book to anybody needing to build a strong shoulder foundation.


5 out of 5 stars Great book for somebody that has a shoulder injury.   July 28, 2010

The book is great the company took a long time for me to receive the book. And the company is very close to where I live. The company is 10 minute from my house. It took a couple of weeks. I don't know if I would use the company again.
