Thank You, "Original Strength"

I've been using some of the movements from the book "Original Strength" on myself for about a month and a half now. The movement principles laid out in the book are deceptively simple and based on movement patterns developed during early childhood but lost or forgotten in adulthood.

I have had nagging pain in both shoulders off and on for about ten years now, along with one shoulder surgery about five years ago which resulted in some limited relief.

Several months ago, I wound up on the Original Strength site and registered to get the free ebook "Pressing Reset". To be honest, I scoffed at the material at first because I thought it was too simple to be of any help or use to me.

About that time, I was back into a pretty good groove in my workouts, but the shoulders were really starting to give me fits again, like they always have, whenever I demand a lot from them. Looking for relief, I started doing some of the movements from the ebook, separate from my regular workouts.

The shoulder pain started improving very quickly and I was impressed enough that I ordered the book "Original Strength". After reading through the book a couple of times and performing the movements several times throughout the day, I'm progressing in my regular workouts very nicely and my shoulder pain is all but completely gone.
