ROTATOR CUFF RELIEF
The rotator cuff (not “cup”) is a group of 4 muscles that helps lift your shoulder up over your head and rotate your arm toward and away from your body. These muscles are put under a great deal of strain especially in throwing events and racket sports where your arm is above your head.

Rotator cuff tears are an extremely common and important injury of the shoulder that can significantly affect an athlete's activity level and quality of life. For competitive or recreational athletes involved in baseball, tennis, volleyball, golf, swimming or weightlifting, shoulder disorders--especially rotator cuff injuries--can be debilitating. Rotator cuff injuries may require surgery and many months of rehabilitation before the athlete can return to a competitive level.

If you are injured, avoid surgery. If you are not injured, avoid injuries in the first place!

Rotator Cuff Relief is available in a bound copy at our office for the special patient price of $15.00 It is available online for just $9.99 until December 31, 2006.

NEW PRODUCT: BODY RITE POSTURE PLEASER
Listen to what Paul has to say about the BODY-RITE POSTURE PLEASER:

"I have had back problems and poor posture for years. My wife recently gave me a Body-Right Posture Pleaser and told me that it would help reduce my back pain. I gave it a try. It’s a weight with shoulder straps that slip on easily. It is like a backpack. The shoulder straps pull gently backwards on your shoulders and the weight nestles in the small of your back. It reminds you to straighten up. I do computer work and tend to hunch over, having been very tall all of my life. After wearing the posture pleaser for a few hours, I noticed that my posture had improved. Even when I am not wearing the Posture Pleaser, I can remember the feeling of the weight and how it helped me to straighten up. Since using the Posture Pleaser, several people have commented on how tall I am. I guess it is because I am now standing up straighter. I have also noticed that it can help with back pain. I recently went through a period of high stress at my work and ended up with trigger points in my upper back. I wore the Posture Pleaser for a few hours and the pain went away. I plan to keep using the Posture Pleaser a couple times a week for a few hours as I work. I also think that I can rely on it to help me recover more quickly from future back problems. I recommend that anyone with back problems give the Posture Pleaser a try. It may be the thing that actually works for you, as it does for me." Paul Bohne
