Teddy Steuben – Masseur

Archive for the ‘Shoulder Problems’ Category

A client of mine who teaches kinesiology at UCLA turned me on to an author who’s book “PAIN FREE” has some astonishingly simple, yet VERY VERY EFFECTIVE EXERCISES, which he calls e-cises.

I have been diagnosed with torn cartilage (my meniscus) in my knees, and sometimes it gets pretty painful. So I initially did this self-examination of the knees that he takes you through in the book. To my amazement, my knees point inward (not forward, which is the correct position).

Well, I did the recommended e-cises for my knee for a couple of days and it really helped.

A week or so later I had some stiff sciatic pain and spasms in my glutes, did the e-cises for that and the problem went away. I would highly recommend this book if you have FOOT, KNEE, SCIATIC, HIP, LOW BACK OR SHOULDER PROBLEMS. I’ve ordered several copies of the book for my clients.

He will probably give you a prescription for physical therapy, which can be an integral aspect of your recovery.

Personally and professionally i would recommend neuromuscular therapy and/or tui-na massage. I see quick results from both of these techniques. Which form of therapy I would recommend depends upon the severity of the pain and spasms.

Usually within 3 or 4 treatments a good deal of improvement can be expected, although sometimes up to a dozen treatments are recommended.

I will often incorporate both of these techniques, melding the two for optimum results, and the least amount of discomfort.
