Transcription

1 A recent survey of office workers showed that 50-60% of them had shoulder pain. And this problem becoming more and more common. Why? Hours of computer use with bad posture. Your posture muscles are just designed to balance you. If you re sitting correctly, with everything stacked nicely, your posture muscles work beautifully. Golding a position for hours at a time with bad posture is hard work for these muscles. And when your posture muscles get overtaxed they become a potent cause of chronic pain. In this report you ll find out how to deal with shoulder pain when you have to spend up to 8 hours a day working at a desk on the computer. Discover: Special Report: Computers and Shoulder Pain How you can optimise Your Sitting - there are 2 options - one s active, the other is passive. They both have different advantages, and switching between them you can significantly reduce pain Dangerous Postures 7 Seating Habits to AVOID 5 Tools to enhance your office comfort How to Keep Yourself Safe when you spend 8 hours in Front of Your Computer

2 HEALTHY COMPUTER USE REPORT Neck: bent backwards, creating tension radiating into the shoulders and upper back Shoulders: hunched creating tension in the upper back Back: the curve of the back - or lordosis is lost. This changes the whole dynamic of the spine and causes the upper spine to hunch forward. Elbow: pushed forwards, creating tension in the shoulders and upper arms Bad Posture Screen - too close to the person s head, potential cause of eye strain. The screen is also positioned too low, creating tension on the person s neck Wrist: bent upwards at too much of an angle to be within the optimal position of function Hip: bent at a 90 angle - creating strain on the lower back, causing the pelvis to tilt and losing the lordosis Feet - not firmly on the ground

3 HEALTHY COMPUTER USE REPORT Bad Posture Wrist - bent at an angle outside of the position of function Wrist: bent at an angle for typing that contributes to possible RSI Elbow: bent too far back, putting strain on the shoulders Head jutting forwards creating strain on neck Elbow: stretched out to reach mouse - putting asymmetrical tension on the shoulders

7 Introducing: the Shoulder Treatment Course Click the tabs below to get an outline of what s in the course

8 Part 1: How the Design of the Shoulder Causes Pain In this section we go over the functional anatomy of your shoulder. You ll get an essential understanding of how this magnificently complex joint is constructed, and how this construction can cause problems. This is a key foundation to the successful treatment of the shoulder, and even if you know this anatomy well it s worth revisiting it. Once you deeply understand the shoulder joint you ll see how to strengthen the right muscles for shoulder stability. You ll also understand how impingement works - and how to fix it. Course Outline Part 2: The 5 Steps to Treat and Rehab Shoulder Pain - Without Surgery In this section we ll look at all the common causes of shoulder pain - and how to treat them. We ll cover: What it really means to have a partial rotator cuff tear. (It s quite different from what most people think) Why the order in which you use your shoulder muscles is more important than how strong or flexible they are Discover the range of treatment options available for different shoulder problems and their pros and cons. Find out how to distinguish the different types of shoulder injuries and how to approach rehabilitation Effective rehab techniques to increase shoulder mobility that can easily be applied at home Shoulder impingement and how to treat it. Sometimes for impingement you don t need to do anything except treat active triggers and retrain the arm movement.

9 Part 3: Treating a Frozen Shoulder - or Adhesive Capsulitis Now, the previous section dealt with all the common shoulder problems. But there s another condition called frozen shoulder. It s not as common - but it has a MASSIVE negative impact on people who do have it - and many people miss it - causing months of unecessary pain. That s because frozen shoulder is entirely different from rotator cuff problems as different as a strong wind warning is from a Category 5 hurricane. And because frozen shoulder is a very particular condition, and has to be treated in a very particular way. I know of only one way to treat frozen shoulder effectively and safely - I ll share it in detail in the course. This treatment is a fast and efficient way to dramatically reduce the pain and increase shoulder mobility when someone is suffering from a true frozen shoulder. And there s a unique twist I ve developed that I ll be sharing in the course. (And applying this technique only takes about 30 minutes - and can be done in a simple clinic setting.) If you don t spot it, and use some of the usual techniques for manually treating shoulders, they won t help - and may even make the pain significantly worse.

10 Bonus: Rotator Cuff Trigger Points Trigger points are an important ingredient to fully rehabilitating the shoulder. So you ll get a bonus section on eactly how to find and treat trigger points in the rotator cuff and shoulder power muscles. Discover what to do when chronic neck issues, arm and shoulder pain make it very difficult to even reach your trigger points - let alone treat them. You ll find out how to get rid of very strong, old and deep trigger points, and how to differentiate between trigger and rotator cuff problems. You ll get detailed charts and videos showing you how to treat trigger points in the following muscles: Trapezius Infraspinatus Supraspinatus Pectoralis Minor Pectoralis Major Rhomboid Levator Scapula Deltoid Latissimus Dorsi Scalenes

11 Anterior Deltoid Biceps Infraspinatus Latissimus Dorsi Pectoralis Major Pectoralis Minor

12 Posterior Deltoid Rhomboids Scalenes Levator Scapula Supraspinatus Upper Trapezius

13 Discover How to Retrain Your Shoulder Movement to Get Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Pain Relief and Regain Shoulder Mobility How much better would your life be if you could... Get back to the hobbies you usually do and keep active and able Do everyday activities like cooking and shopping without getting shoulder pain Spend active time with your family as you once did Get a full night s sleep without being kept awake by shoulder pain Regain a full range of movement in your shoulder Shoulder pain is an area (like so many) where sometimes the sufferer has to do all the research - so we ve prepared something that will shortcut that process for you. Here s where to find out more...
