Outdated Info.,
This review is from: 7 Minute Rotator Cuff Solution (Paperback)
Readers need to be aware that this book was written by a chiropractor over 18 years ago. While copies are still being printed, they are still 1st editions and thus contain info from the late 80's. If any new info is added, then its called a 2nd edition, which there isn't one yet.This is NOT good if one is looking for the latest rotator cuff treatments because medical information is constantly changing all the time as new studies are done. Case in point, this book does not include the sidelying abduction exercise which has been recently found to be one of the safest and most effective exercises for the supraspinatus muscle, the most frequently torn cuff muscle. The sidelying abd. exercise does not grind your cuff tendons down further and cause more damage like some of the older exercises once taught like the "empty-can" exercise. The book does cover some basic anatomy and function of the rotator cuff however. Also, be aware that as you progress through the levels in the various routines, you're sure going to be spending a lot more than just "7 minutes" doing exercises that involve either dumbells or a pulley system. Readers interested in other rotator cuff books might also want to check out Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff.

Cured my problem and prevented any future pain so far,

This review is from: 7 Minute Rotator Cuff Solution (Paperback)
I had a nagging shoulder problem that got so bad I could barely lift my arms past horizontal. I've been working out for years, but one very, very rough weekend sports outing trashed both shoulders to where I couldn't work out at all. This book with it's simple exercises totally cured my problem. Now I just incorporate them into the end of my shoulder workout and VOILA !!! Pain and injury free for 4 years now and my workouts are better than ever. The technical explanation is superb. The best money I ever spent. Better than any help I ever got from physical trainers and doctors for the same problem.

prehabilitation AND rehabilitation,
By A Customer
This review is from: 7 Minute Rotator Cuff Solution (Paperback)
Some of the other reviews have mentioned how this book has helped overcome an injury. I recommended this to a tennis playing friend with a rotator cuff injury and he was able to return to his former level and then some. That's my anectdote.The shoulder tries to be a ball-and-socket joint and to some extent it is. Two common analogies are that it is like a baseball on a golf tee or like a large beach ball on a saucer -- a very shallow ball-and-socket joint. The shoulder joint also has a large range of motion, but the price for this range of motion is instability. The book's diagrams show how various muscles act to keep the joint stable. But the degree of stability depends on how well all the muscles are developed. Unfortunately, many exercises and sports act to create an imbalance by developing the internal rotator muscles and not the external rotators. Add to this some commonly performed exercises that can cause injury either through impingement or stressing an unstable shoulder and it is no wonder that injuries occur even without a direct blow to the shoulder. This book shows how many injuries occur in addition to showing how to strengthen the shoulder joint to make it more stable and less susceptible to injury. More and more weight training books (i.e, THE POLIQUIN PRINCIPLES and MUSCLE MECHANICS) are including exercises for the rotator cuff. Everett Aaberg, the author of MUSCLE MECHANICS lists 15 references and, sure enough, THE 7-MINUTE ROTATOR CUFF SOLUTION is one of them. Horrigan and Robinson's book may have started or at least contributed mightily to the trend. Injuries alone are not the reason for this. Including rotator cuff exercises often produces a sudden increase in bench pressing poundages. In fact, the WestSide Barbell Club bench press workout videos include exercises specifically for the rotator cuff. The book also includes a lot of material applicable to other aspects of shoulder health. Page 54 illustrates Lying Flyes which I have found to be a most effective exercise for the rear deltoid -- for me better than bentover laterals or bentover cable laterals. And if you're fond of doing weighted parallel bar dips be sure to read what this this book has to say about them before you suffer some degree of shoulder separation. In short, if your sport involves the shoulder at all you'll find THE 7-MINUTE ROTATOR CUFF SOLUTION an excellent investment. Plenty of text, plenty of diagrams and routines for both rehabilitation and prehabilitation.
