Mouse Shoulder

I was just at the National Speakers Association University in Tucson, AZ, and was talking to an author that I highly respect for the books he's written. He told me that he'd been diagnosed with "Mouse Shoulder" (an interesting new name for shoulder pain) and was in severe pain while trying to finish his latest book. He also had pain all the way down his arm and into his hand.

I explained to him why muscles cause pain and numbness and then taught him an easy technique that is in my book "The Pain Free Triathlete" (definitely not just for athletes!) and he immediately began getting relief. That afternoon I was in a store and bought him a tennis ball and I showed him how to just lie on the floor and put his shoulder blade directly onto the ball. His weight was all that was needed to give him the pressure necessary to eliminate the trigger point that was the source of both his shoulder pain and a good bit of the tingling he was feeling in his arm.

How exciting it was for me to help an author who was key to my being able to self-publish my last three books, "The Pain-Free Triathlete," "The Pain-Free Runner," and "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - What You Don't Know CAN Hurt You!"
