Fixing You: Shoulder & Elbow Pain

Is shoulder or elbow pain interfering with your workouts, workday, or sleep—and nothing seems to help?

In Fixing You: Shoulder & Elbow Pain, award-winning author and orthopedic physical therapist Rick Olderman explains how dysfunction in your shoulder blade (scapula)—the foundation of upper body movement—can cause chronic pain, limited motion, and lingering injuries in both the shoulder and elbow.

Most traditional treatments focus on the painful area itself, but Rick’s 30+ years of clinical experience reveal a different story: shoulder and elbow pain often stem from postural imbalances, faulty movement patterns, and scapular misalignment.

You’ll learn how to:

• Restore your shoulder blade’s proper resting and moving position

• Correct the muscle imbalances that cause shoulder impingement or rotator cuff pain

• Address upstream causes of tennis elbow and other elbow issues

• Understand how posture, reaching, and lifting mechanics affect both joints

Ideal for those suffering from:

• Shoulder impingement or rotator cuff pain

• Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow

• Upper arm pain or weakness

• Limited shoulder range of motion or clicking

Includes clear illustrations and easy-to-follow language to help you understand and fix the real source of your pain.
