For those who have shoulder issues or want to prevent them, you need to get this book, it’s 9 bucks.
Not the best read, but man am I impressed by the improvement I’ve seen in two days of hanging…
Been battling with a shoulder impingement that doesn’t want to go away. I’ve thrown everything at it; rest, pt, pushing through like a dummy, and never saw any measurable progress in pain reduction or mobility… I’ve been loosing my mind frankly for 6 months.
The protocol is quite simple, hang for up to 30 seconds, with 1 minute breaks between “sets”, doing so passively, allowing your shoulder to come up to your ears. Repeat for 10-15 minutes. Kirsch is an Orthopaedic Surgeon with decades in the field. When he realized his patients (impingement, cuff, etc…) had better and quicker improvements with hanging, he started prescribing it over surgeries…
After my first hanging session, I had zero pain with overhead lockout position, and felt at least an inch taller. Today I tested before and after hanging for mobility and pain, and again, I felt tremendous relief.
Anyways, I think it’s worth buying/reading for anyone who wants to heal/prevent shoulder injuries. Further, I think if you do a lot of overhead work but don’t have great mobility (for double jerks for example), this might just get you there!
Not an expert, not ‘fixed’ yet, but felt the need to share as I know how depressing these injuries are. Hopefully someone struggling sees this and it helps.
