Rotator Cuff Test

http://selfadjustingtechnique.com/ This is how you test the rotator cuff muscles. For more information go to SelfAdjustingTechnique.com to contact me for a consultation. You may be able to have a friend do the adjustments on you. They are very gentle like all the Self Adjusting Techniques.

The main requirement for you to be able to do the adjustment is that you have a little ability to be able to do an adjustment of this type. It really isn't very hard, but it might be difficult for some people to do. Body workers will probably have no problem with it at all.

Also, if your shoulder is damaged, like with a torn rotator cuff muscle, the adjustment won't help. The damage must first be repaired. You can contact me about that.

All the adjustments taught in Self Adjusting Technique are incredibly gentle with no force involved.

I've had a chiropractor do similar things in the past and honestly, I couldn't tell any difference in the way my shoulder felt or functioned. During the test, he looked like he was straining to move my arm more, but I felt neither any difference in the force I was applying nor was I given any scientific measurements, so I tended not to believe I was being helped. Excercises tend to take the pain away, but I don't feel I've made much improvement (some but not much).

There are a lot of issues that can affect a shoulder, this is just one of them. You may have other issues.

Muscle testing is interesting. It often feels like they are hardly pulling at all, or that they are pulling extra hard at times, but a good tester can exert the same pressure. However, if there is strength, then it should be obvious in other circumstances: functional strength. If not then something more is needed.

Well, your video showed me what I already knew: that my rotator cuff area is weak. I injured myself stretching years ago, and the pain reoccurs whenever I exercise the area even moderately. Having read your back pain secrets, I suspect there are a number of contributing elements that I hadn't previously considered, particularly refined foods. I am anxiously awaiting the release of your strengthening video. Thanks

The video is available, just not for sale yet. If you are subscribed to my newsletter you can have a copy for free -- if you tell me how it works or doesn't work for you. -K

I have had upper back and shoulder pain, particularly on the right, for the past year. I've tried several therapies to no avail. However, I'm quite interested to see if your technique can help.

[Kalidasab]

The upper back and shoulder area often have more to do with the ribs. This technique is for strengthening the shoulder. And, the URL for the adjustments is ready to be sent to you if you are subscribed at my site. Just send me an email and I'll send you the link. -K

what was the ajustment?

[paulinator61]

It's pretty well understood that RC injuries involve issues issues of inflammation, muscle tone, etc., that have nothing to do with the spine, so I have no expectation that chiropractic does anything more than reduce hip pain caused by a thick wallet. Further, applied kinesiology (muscle testing) has failed, in very careful randomized, controlled, double-blind studies, to show any clinical utility.

My husband is in a great deal of pain with his shoulder that extends down his arm and numbs his thumb. He has been to a chiropractor who just bleeds money from us with no help. He said it may be tendonitis however I feel it has more to do with the rotator cuff. I have watched every video from you and purchased your book however I don't understand what I am feeling for so I can try to adjust. Please help..

BS

[Snek08]

show the exercises please

[mattbackvass]

@unholyimage i had a chiro do the same thing and it was totally bs. he first moved my arm easily ( i would hope that the pectoral and triceps are stronger than the shoulder ) and then he just held it in place and held his breath acting like he was straining.

yeah, it helped, because my shoulder was slightly out of socket, but he definitely embellished it a bit

[MrDiggity1986]

so many things about this video either conduses me or pisses me off. So all im going to say is that if the original poster (or the guy in the video) wants to learn how to test individual muscles in regards to strength ,look up "Muscles: testing and function, Kendall".

Also the first and second "test" for the rotator cuff muscles shown is a for A) the anterior deltoid (primarily), and B) latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior. neither of which are part of the rotator cuff muscles.

Those are some odd angles to test strength at, I would like to be strong at them too, I guess would need to free up the shoulder a lot though.
