In this Fifth Edition of Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention, in response to requests, I have added some reader's results from the exercise program.

Using the simple exercises in the book, most are returned to healthy painless shoulder function without the need for pills, therapy or surgery.

The hanging exercise will also relieve back pain by providing a stretching force to the spine that will decompress the disc spaces.

Images and videos created during the research for the book are readily available online at www.kirschshoulder.com and YouTube.

I also discuss another joint in the shoulder, the acromiohumeral joint.

The McMillin Method is a workbook designed to empower individuals in self-treating chronic dizziness and Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD). PPPD, is the most common cause of chronic dizziness, and can significantly impact one's daily life; however, with the right knowledge, management strategies, and support, symptoms can be effectively managed. Whether you've been dealing with chronic dizziness for a short or extended period, following the protocol outlined in The McMillin Method can lead to a reduction in PPPD symptoms, allowing for better and more functional days. Drawing from the latest research and nearly a decade of experience as a vestibular therapist, I've crafted this workbook in a user-friendly format that simplifies my treatment approach. The rate of progress is entirely customizable to each individual's needs. The goal of this book is to provide accessible, high-quality information and guidance to PPPD sufferers worldwide. Everyone deserves effective treatment and the opportunity to heal at their own pace.

This unique book illustrates the structure of the fascia in the living human being. Dr Guimberteau's photographs provide a detailed account of fascial architecture. He is the first person to publish video movies showing the structure of the fascia and how the fascia responds to it. The accompanying text explains what the photographs mean, clarifies the importance of the fascia, and sets out the implications of these findings for everyday therapeutic practice.
This beautifully illustrated book provides an introduction to Dr Guimberteau's groundbreaking work. Based on what can be seen he has developed his own concept of the multifibrillar structural organisation of the body, wherein the microvacuole is the basic functional unit. His films confirm the continuity of fibres throughout the body thereby seeming to confirm the tensegrity theory, which provides the basis of many manual therapy and bodywork teachings. His work ties in with that of Donald Ingber on tensegrity within the cytoskeleton, and adds to the evidence linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix as described by James Oschman. The book provides, for the first time, an explanatory introduction and explanation of these theories. This material will be highly valued by osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors and others as it provides part of the scientific underpinning of their techniques, as well as an explanation of what is happening when they use those techniques to treat their clients.
So Guimberteau's material confirms what manual therapists already believed but didn't fully understand. He has provided an explanation of how fascial layers slide over each other and how adjacent structures can move independently in different directions and at different speeds while maintaining the stability of the surrounding tissues.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation, also called physiatry, aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to people with physical impairments or disabilities. Rehabilitation robotics is an area of research dedicated to understanding and enhancing physiatry through the use of robotic devices. It involves the development of robotic devices to assist different sensorimotor functions, different schemes of assisting therapeutic training, and assessment of patient's ability to move. Robots are used mainly as therapy aids instead of assistive devices in rehabilitation robotics. Some of the techniques used within this field are active assisted exercise, active resistive exercise and adaptive exercise. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of rehabilitation robotics in recent times. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the technology and applications of the subject.
