How to stretch rotator cuff (Youtube vid)
Published: Thu, 10/18/12
3 out of the top 4 shoulder injuries involve the rotator cuff so
you need to keep them healthy.
Here's one of the best stretches you can do for your rotator
cuff. I didn't even know you could do this until Rick Kaselj, MS
told me about it!
told me about it!
The deep fascial rotator cuff stretch is way more effective than
other traditional static chest stretches because it hits the fascia
in the shoulder. Watch it in the video below.

The fascia is connective tissue that encases muscles and
connects groups of muscle together.
With a regular chest stretch, you hit the muscle but what also
is affected in a painful joint is the fascia.
With shoulder pain, connective tissue shortens up and gets thick.
We need to hit fascia in order to stretch it out, thin it out, and help
the muscle move better while loosening up the shoulder. Regular
static stretch of the chest does not do that.

"I wanted to tell you that I have had pain in the front of my right
shoulder for about a year, but using your methods for the past
three months,
I am pain free.
I used to wake up in the middle of the night with my shoulder
in so much pain that I couldn't sleep.
Finally, I am sleeping without problems and I feel great.
I didn't have any trauma to the shoulder, just years of bench
pressing and bad posture.
Thank you so much for your method and with all your help.
I highly recommend your system and videos to anyone who wants
to get back into the gym and have healthy shoulders!"
