Torn Rotator Cuff by Joi Mairet (Duncanville, TX.)

I have a torn rotator cuff in two places. I am hoping that this book will give me enough answers as well as exercises to help. I may eventually have surgery, but it's not an option yet. So far the book has good information.

Great book by Essie (Seattle, WA)

I went thru physical therapy to treat my rotator cuffs - I have had issues with both. It worked, but only after several weeks and I had worked up to 1-1.5 hours of shoulder exercises, 3 times per week! After therapy, the recommended home program was virtually the same. I didn't have the time to keep up and the problem came back in one of my shoulders. Ever since I have been trying to figure out which exercises really matter, because I don't have time to do them all.

In this book it was done for me. The author focuses on a few simple stretches and exercises, but his research shows they are the ones that matter most. I've been doing the program for about 4 weeks now and my shoulder is much, much better. Not 100% yet, but I can finally throw a ball again. I have a young son and haven't even been able to play catch with him until now. And very importantly, this program takes so little time I can keep up with it, to prevent problems from coming back.

Nice compilation of all available info on the net by Calvin Chin (Singapore)

Good content. I have had a r cuff problem for a long time and have been researching this issue at large. Nothing much new I learnt from this book which I don't already know, but I love it that it summarizes and condenses all available info out there in an easy to read format for me. Get this if you have not done any research on your own.

Good introduction by Ashton Gate (Washington, D.C.)

Good introduction to rotator cuff problems, with the right balance of technical information and practical help. The focus on academic literature was reassuring and provides ammunition when discussing these issues with a doctor. I have been following the program and it has worked so far. Does not get 5 stars as it is a little pricey.
