This DVD is about self-help - taking expert advice and learning how simple exercises can make all the difference to your feeling of well being by alleviating neck problems and arm pain. A stiff neck and shoulder pain is most commonly caused by the effects of poor posture over time and affects more than half the adult population.

The good news is that you can prevent this happening, easily and effectively. Just think about this - of the 60% of all adults who will experience an episode of neck pain or shoulder pain at some stage in their life, more than half could be prevented!

This DVD will help you understand whether you have a sprain or strain of any of the spine's structure or muscles or whether you may be suffering with an age-related condition. Perhaps you have had one of the common sports' injuries that affect the shoulder and arm in particular. This DVD will help you work out what is causing your shoulder or arm pain and help you to understand how it has happened. Whatever the cause, it will offer you a precise and specific exercise programme to help you manage and recover from your problem. It will also give you clear guidance on the signs of a more severe problem that should be investigated further.


If you haven't developed neck, shoulder or arm pain, but are experiencing stiffness, most probably around the upper back and shoulders, or possibly in the hands, refer to the Prevent Pain section. In the same section, you will find advice if you simply want to look after your neck, back and arm mobility, and preserve its health, by focusing on the neck & upper back, the shoulder, or the forearm, wrist and hands. Here you'll find the means by which you can re-find your youthful freedom of movement.


If you need help with working posture and particularly good sitting habits and desk based posture, you'll find this in the Extras section.


Help yourself at home for the treatment and prevention of neck problems such as spinal stenosis, spondylitis, slipped disc and arthritis of the neck that may give referred pain to the arm. The DVD also covers shoulder injuries (such as tendonitis) and elbow pain (such as tennis elbow and golfer's elbow). Whether your neck or arm pain has come on suddenly or gradually, whether it is mild or severe and whatever your age there is a great deal you can do yourself to relieve pain and make yourself fit to return to sport.
