VVV Article Shoulder Pain
The Story of my Shoulder Rehabilitation
My Journey to Shoulder Health utilizing A.R.T.Therapy (active release techniques) and Professional Rehab Training
I‘m sure many of you have „been there, done that, won the T-Shirt.“
So you will be able to relate to my experience….
There might be one teensy-slight difference though:
As opposed to most, I was so lucky as to come into contact with a rehabilitation method and soft-tissue manipulation technique that actually really works…. brutally so.
It all started with my shoulder going „click“ and a sharp pain during exercise.
Since that day, it steadily and continuously got worse, never quite going away all by itself. That‘s what a lot of people hope for, surely, but unfortunately these things tend to not go away all by themselves, rather the opposite.
Therapies? Many. Did they help? Not really, not in the long run.
I was getting worried, I mean, who knows? Maybe there‘s something torn off inside, or broken or something?Maybe it would require surgery, even?
Not good.
Grappling, don‘t ask me about grappling: painkillers notwithstanding things got to the point where a time-out was the only option.
Heavy benching? Don‘t even think about it.
I don‘t want to know how many athletes out there really want to train, I mean, REALLY…. but they can‘t, not properly,because of something like this.
So that was the situation for me; I was training(I never stop!)but quite sore in the shoulder(s) and getting worse.
Then one day there came –again- a sharp jab of pain in my left shoulder while incline dumbell-pressing, when this guy said:“Here, lemme see“. He did one or two „passes“ under my axilla –it hurt like hell- and suggested I should try again.
And lo and behold: no more pain! The very same exercise as before, the same weight; I didn‘t feel a thing!
Now, I‘m not saying that my shoulder was fully and 110% rehabbed from this one short treatment, because it wasn‘t.
But it felt better immediately, improving all the while.
I would like it to be clear that I don‘t hold any shares with activerelease.com, nor do I get paid anything for endorsing them.
It‘s simply the most effective soft-tissue manipulation technique that I know of -the only one that really really works- and as far as treatment goes I use it pretty exclusively in the rehabilitation of athletes.
It‘s effective… painfully, extremely effective.
At the VVV Center, we work with all kinds of injuries but shoulder-rehab is my top-priority and speciality.
The other part of the procedure is exercise,again highly specialized rehabilitory exercises of course, but that‘s kind of beyond the scope of this article right now, more on this later.
My positive experiences with A.R.T. are by far no exception: countless other athletes, pretty much all of my prehab/rehab clients included, get similar results.

In summary:
When you have shoulder-problems, do not despair.
By all means get an MRI, just to be on the safe side. Then find a professional rehab-specialist, preferably using A.R.T. and you should be well on your way to full recovery.
Good Luck !;-)
