How to Cure Your Shoulder (Tendonitis, Bursitis, Impingement)

Everyone be advised, this video shows how to treat the cause of your shoulder pain, not the symptoms (inflammation). That will only go away after the shoulder opens up a bit. Takes a few months so don't get discouraged. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.

ONE YEAR UPDATE:
1. I am 95% better.
2. I am now down to one round of every stretch and exercise once a day.
3. Will probably need to do that for life.
4. Took one week off of therapy and noticed I shouldn't have..
5. If you are starting this, you will probably get worse before you get better. These stretches can aggravate the inflammation. I noticed more range of motion in one month, but it was four months before the pain started really subsiding.

A complete guide of the home therapy required to treat and heal a painful shoulder due to impingement related bursitis and tendonitis. How to heal your shoulder and how to fix your shoulder. Fit himself suffered terribly from an inflamed shoulder for 6 months. At the very first signs of pain, he began resting his shoulder, modifying his workout, and applying ice every day. Unfortunately things got worse. He finally went to a doctor who gave a cortisone shot and a series of rotator cuff exercises. Unfortunatly, things continued to deteriorate. Eventually, Fit was in constant pain and lost almost all motion of his shoulder. Finally, Fit visited a physical therapist who specialized in Sports Injuries. Initially worried that is was a rotator cuff tear, Fit was told he had an impinged shoulder which was causing inflammation of his bursa and tendons also known as bursitis and tendonitis. The gap in between his shoulder bone and arm bone had narrowed and was rubbing on his tendons and bursa. This video is the treatment prescribed to Fit to help restructure his shoulder and open the gap between the bones. The treatment consisted of performing three different stretches (shoulder stretch, chest stretch, and a cross arm stretch) These stretches were do be done for 30 seconds and 4 rounds. This was to be repeated 4-5 times a day. Also, strengthening exercises were prescribed to help the back muscle pull the shoulders back to their normal position. These exercises were to be done for 2 rounds of 20 reps twice daily. They consisted of straight arm press and variations of back flies. 6 months later, Fit has regained almost full range of motion This video is not intended as a resource for how to fix shoulder tears or other major shoulder injury. It is to address pain from tendonitis and bursitis due to shoulder impingement or impinged shoulder.

KT Tape: Neck and Shoulder

Neck and Shoulder Pain

The neck is clearly a vital component of our anatomy due to its responsibility for connecting our brain to the rest of the body. Everything that passes through the neck is vital and relies heavily on proper function of the musculoskeletal system to protect and support these structures.

Stress is stored in these muscles and can cause headaches, shoulder pain, and other damaging compensations. Sitting at a computer all day, looking down while running, whiplash, sleeping poorly, or sudden movements and changes in direction are also common causes of neck pain.

Factors include muscle strain, ligament sprains, arthritis, spinal subluxations, pinched nerves, knots or adhesions, and countless other musculoskeletal complications. The pain is usually not only felt in the neck itself, but also into the base of the neck and the shoulders. Generally the pain can be categorized into two conditions: muscle strain or myofascial strain.

Muscle strain can occur when there is an injury to the muscles of the neck, causing spasm of the cervical and upper back muscles. The strain may result from the physical stresses of everyday life, including poor posture, muscle tension from psychological stress, or poor sleeping habits. Typically symptoms include pain, stiffness, and tightness in the upper back or shoulder. Myofascial pain causes tight and tender areas of muscle that are sensitive to pressure. Myofascial pain in the neck can develop after trauma or with other medical conditions such as psychological stress, depression, or insomnia.

KT Tape alleviates pain by relaxing the muscles, providing support, increasing circulation around the affected area, as well as reducing pressure on the myofascial tender spots — all to promote the body's natural healing processes. Generally individuals will feel immediate support and pain relief upon taping.

Consider complimentary measures as well. Try posture improvement, massage, chiropractic adjustments, and ice. KT Tape will relieve the pain and help assist in proper posture, but please seek care if pain becomes severe, there is a loss in movement, or symptoms get worse. Use beige KT Tape if you don't want to have colors visible during more formal times.

KT Tape: Full Knee Support

Knee pain can be caused by any number of issues. The kneecap, or patella, could be moving incorrectly. One or more meniscus may be torn, ruptured, or inflamed. There may be arthritis, plica, chrondomalacia, or any number of issues with the bones that constitute the knee. The beauty of this application is the breadth of conditions it covers with it's relatively simple effects of balancing the muscles effect on the knee and relieving pressure on the kneecap and its tendon.
Knee issues arise from equally as many causes. Muscle imbalances, poor running form, misaligned hips or poor posture, poor nutrition, overtraining, compensation for another injury, hyperextension, arthritis, and blunt trauma to ligaments are just a few of the most common causes of knee pain. Common effective treatments among all of these conditions include increasing circulation, providing support, reducing pressure, and maintaining range of motion.
KT Tape serves all of these purposes without the downsides of bracing or wrapping. Common injuries such as runner's knee or patella tendonitis, jumper's knee, patella tracking, arthritis, meniscus tears, plica, patellofemoral pain, and general instability can all be best addressed by using the fell knee support application.
With this application you will get support, pain relief, and normal body mechanics without restricting motion or circulation like other treatments.
