Hi Friend,
What if I told you your shoulder isn’t the root of your shoulder pain and tightness?
Would you believe it?
Let me explain:
In my 25+ years of research as a world-leading injury specialist, here is the #1 myth I hear from people experiencing shoulder pain...
I used to think the same thing too.
After all, how many times have you done this stretch in gym class?
So why don’t simple arm stretches like this one work?
That’s right! According to a study conducted by the The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, 82% of doctors “failed to demonstrate basic competency” in the area of medicine critical to loosening up your shoulders.[1]
(Without this knowledge, you simply cannot get long-term shoulder pain relief.)
Nowadays, you can’t always rely on organized medicine.
Now, let’s discuss something very important. I'm not telling you this to throw anyone under the bus…
Doctors have a laundry list of diseases, infections, and more life-threatening issues than shoulder pain to keep them busy. Plus, nobody teaches them what I’m going to share with you, even in the top universities.
One of the reasons is this:
But don't worry, untangling it is pretty simple.
Keyword: System
The shoulder is NOT just a place where the arm meets the body. I wish it was that simple!
In reality, there are bones, muscles, fascia, lubricating fluid, tendons, ligaments and nerves all crisscrossing, zigzagging and overlapping, just like a clogged-up freeway.
This means there’s almost infinite “intersections” for accidents to jam, block, and cause crippling pain to your shoulder.
It’s a jungle out there, and it’s hard to know which solution is right for YOU and your unique situation. I know because I used to struggle with the same issues myself.
Today, I’m going to share some very exciting new ways to safely relieve your pain.

Before we dig into these, you might be wondering:
“Who is Rick and what the heck does he know about MY shoulder frustrations, anyway?”
People all over the world trust Rick Kaselj, also known as "The Pain Hacker". Rick has a Masters of Science degree focusing on injury prevention.
He is also a speaker, author, lecturer, and creator of the widely-successful Unlock Your Tight Hip Flexors and Fix My Back Pain programs – which have relieved thousands of people from their pain and tightness.
He is one of the world's top experts in joint mobility, natural pain relief using bodyweight exercises, and holistic flexibility.
For more than 15 years, Rick has run ExerciseForInjuries.com, from his home near Vancouver, Canada. He's helped thousands of folks in pain -- from athletes, to professional weightlifters, to arthritis sufferers and people coming off recent (or decades-old) injuries.
Rick's work has appeared in well-known magazines and popular online blogs. You may have seen his work in Mens Health, Mens Journal, Early To Rise, LiveStrong.com, San Francisco Chronicle, Yahoo! News, and many more.
"Thank you for the Shoulder Injury Guide.
My life before the shoulder injury was frustrating, not being able to do the things you take for granted. I think I was doing more harm than good before.
My life is now improving and I hope to be able to get to a stage where I have full rotation of my arm and be able to do what I want to do.
The best thing about the Shoulder Injury Guide is to know how to do the movements correctly without further injury. It will take time and patience. There is a need to know how to perform the exercises correctly without causing further damage or pain in a slow methodical manner."
But don’t worry, you don’t need to be an "expert" on anatomy or the human body to do it.
You don’t even need to know the name of a single bone or muscle of the shoulder, either.
Because once you know the secret to safe self-relief, you’ll laugh in your morning slippers at the thought of cutting another $150 dollar check to a therapist…
You’ll chuckle at the idea of relying on NSAIDS…
And kick yourself for not knowing the easy path to gentle, natural shoulder relief sooner...
The thing is, I’ve worked hands-on with hundreds of people (including myself) with tight shoulders, testing ways for them to find relief from the comfort of their own home.
Trust the thousands of people that I have helped over the years; people who have literally been unable to walk, raise their arms, turn their steering wheel, or play with their grandkids.
Keep reading, because this will be the most important thing you read all week.
- Arthritis: The gradual wearing away of the tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint[3]
- Osteoarthritis: The flexible tissue on the joint capsule wears away and bones rub together, causing friction and pain[3]
- Torn Rotator Cuff: Due to shoulder overuse and exerting too much force on your shoulder joint[3]
- Inflammation of the Tendons: Can cause swelling, soreness and pain. This inflammation can spread into the rotator cuff and cause 'thickening'[4]
- Shoulder Impingement: Thickened tendons place pressure on the rotator cuff, 'trapping' the tendons[4]
- Tendon Compression: Tendons can compress due to wear and tear from constant activity[4]
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Restricted motion around the shoulder from prolonged “down time”[4]
It’s no wonder the body’s “busiest intersection” produces so many “accidents”.
You need your shoulder joint to lift, throw, flex and reach... and when you injure one of the parts?
It can either result in:
1. Instant searing pain (like a dislocation or a tear),
OR...
2. A Domino Effect Of Problems That Wreak Havoc Throughout The Rest Of The Joint, And Even Into The Back, Neck, And Chest.
This second scenario is far more subtle, but sadly, also more common.
Unfortunately, there are dozens of potential triggers that caused your pain & tightness:
- One (or several) prior injuries (commonly a torn rotator cuff)
- Arthritis from overuse or a prior injury
- Lifting overhead baggage as a flight attendant[5]
- Poor technique in your workouts or stretching[6]
- Pinched nerves that flare up out of nowhere[7]
- Poor posture while standing & sitting (leads to “rounding” in your shoulders)[8]
If there are so many ways for your shoulder to experience a 'traffic jam', then why is the conventional wisdom to attack your pain with only one or two 'out-of-the-box' solutions?
I'll share the answer in just a minute, but first let's look at who is typically impacted by shoulder problems.
As you've just learned, the people you trust the MOST to answer your health concerns are of little help when it comes to accessing your deepest aggravated tissues.
Take, as an example, these 6 'shoulder villains' probably no one told you about:
If this is news to you, you aren’t alone — chances are you’ve been confused at some point about where to start.
Honestly, it’s not your fault! There are international corporations, pharmaceutical giants, 500+ chiropractic franchises, and many others who would be thrilled if you never learned the information that I am sharing with you today.
Actually, I’ll let you in on a little secret:
I’m in the business of empowering people to live happier lives, and inevitably, some people have bones to pick.
Not everyone does, of course, since my programs can be combined with a chiropractic routine for a one-two punch effect, many of the specialists are interested in learning my new approaches.
I usually only give this tip to paid clients, but today I want to share it with you. It’s simple:
2. After liftoff, place it in between your scapula (shoulder blade) and your spine — make sure it isn’t on either bone, but in between them
3. Feel free to move it anywhere from your mid-to-upper back, just avoid going into your lower back or neck
4. Enjoy! It might be a little tight at first...but you’ll start to loosen up after a few minutes
5. Hit both sides, and strangely enough, even though you’re loosening up your back, this will also open up your shoulders.
- Can’t walk the dog without fearing a painful yank on the leash
- Wish you could walk the same distances you used to, without fatigue
- Hate waking up to pain & remember when you could actually sleep until the alarm went off
- Resort to swallowing liver-damaging pain pills in order to find relief after a long day’s work
- Feel like you’ve tried everything — muscle relaxers, stretching, and thermal treatments — without improvements
- Have pain radiating down your arm
- Are an athlete, and dread running long distances because of your tightness
- Can’t tell where the neck pain ends and the shoulder pain begins — it’s just one seamless pain blanket
- Experience tension headaches without questioning if the root of the problem could be your shoulder (hint: it could!)
- Want to perform at your peak fitness level, but feel like your shoulders are robbing you of your true potential
The KEY to opening up the bundles of loose tissues in your shoulders and getting the flexibility to lift, carry, push and pull whatever you want, CAN’T come from stretching alone.
In fact, overstretching can irreparably damage your shoulder, so don’t overdo it.[10]
Fixing your shoulder doesn’t require any fancy equipment, gym memberships or expensive “expert” guidance...
Reshaping? What does that even mean?
Not many experts in my field are talking about it, which means almost NO doctor or general practitioner is going to understand the “language” I’m about to share with you.
Think of your shoulder like a ball of clay. If you’re trying to mould it into something nice – say, what this child is making here…
You don’t just SMASH the ball of ‘clay’ in one direction, do you?
No, you roll, twist, massage, and build it up from multiple angles.
Your shoulder is like the ball of clay, and you are the child. It just needs some love, reshaping, and restoration.
I assure you, they do exist, as this area of “reshaping” the human body has been my life’s passion and dedication for the past two decades.
So today, I’d like to introduce my newest shoulder pain breakthrough:
It’s always been possible. The problem was, few people knew how. Today, things have changed…
You could resort to pain pills, questionable woo-woo alternative relief methods, and of course — surgery. In fact, this utter lack of good options was one of my big motivators to get into the industry of helping people like you to break free from pain.
As you probably already know, things are speeding ahead in the fields of health science and medicine.
What’s my point? Groundbreaking new science ISN’T limited to artificial organs. It’s widespread and moving fast.
Developments in injury prevention, mobility, and trigger point therapy are allowing people to bust out of their pain plateaus at an unprecedented rate.
I know because I devour all of the latest scientific journals, attend (and often speak at) many conferences, and then analyze, synthesize, and compile:
- People who can barely grab a gallon of milk out of the fridge without experiencing pain
- People afraid to lift their carry-on luggage into the overhead compartment, unsure of whether they have the strength not to drop it on some unsuspecting stranger
- People who can’t clean a bathroom without a nagging reminder of their unhappy shoulders
- People who can’t lead fulfilling sex lives because of their terrible pain and weak joints
“ …the exercises you give us are not your “typical” exercises that you see everywhere else and they work!
I have frozen shoulder, torn rotator cuff and tendinitis. I have been going to Physical Therapy which has been good – however I’ve been able to share a few of your exercises that worked for me with my physical therapist which took him by surprise!
Thank you!
I had a shoulder pain for about 5 months. The rest and supplements prescribed by Orthopedic Specialist never worked at all. The diagnosis was wrong (subscapularis tear) because it’s a right shoulder impingement. I am an athlete and being out of the battle is driving me crazy.
The simple but effective way to understand the cause-effect issues on the joint was explained by Rick in a very professional manner. Thank you Rick, you saved my career!
I am going to regular physio therapy and your program has enhanced the program I am already on. My shoulder injury is complex – some impingement, a bit of frozen shoulder, some tendonitis and rotator cuff soreness. But now, I understand it better. Thanks to your comprehensive information.
Thanks to Rick Kaselj… you gain a better understanding of your shoulder injury as his exercises take you through different planes of motion highlighting varying muscle imbalances and reactivating and strengthening them. This makes you stand taller, move better balanced and do your daily chores better.
When you try my program, we’ll tap into your most deeply-rooted muscular imbalances, releasing blocks of stiff muscle, tight fascia, and lubricating your entire shoulder system — from every angle.
Most “experts” give you one or two ways to loosen your shoulders.
But the number of angles you use to unwind tight shoulders, isn’t as important as the problem that each one fixes.
Do you remember how intricate the shoulder is and the intersection analogy? You do? Great!
Then you’ll remember how many blockages (or “traffic jams”) can occur, each of the ten categories below address a specific problem.
If you tried using a ‘static stretch’ to activate your joint capsule, it wouldn’t work.
But don’t fret if this sounds complicated. All you need to know is that each movement category is a KEY that releases a specific pain point or tightness problem.
But if you’re one of those people who like the ‘how it’s made’ shows on TV, here’s more:
According to Annals of Internal Medicine’s scientific study of 47 academic articles regarding sedentary behavior in adults, people who sit for long periods were 24% more likely to die from health problems.
These movements do wonders for your mid-back, loosening up the knotted tissue from sitting and fighting against the mountain of problems caused by being stuck in a seated job (tip: these movements work well in the shower).
These also free up your scapula, or your shoulder blade. This is a key part of “reshaping” your shoulder.
Now, your other muscles don’t have to “pick up the slack” that the ‘off’ muscles lazily forgot about. The restored balance decreases your risk of injury, layers on strength, and keeps muscles firing on all cylinders.
If these all sound a bit technical, just remember: you don’t need to know “what’s under the hood” to drive a car, right? It’s the same with eliminating shoulder pain.
Alone, each one of these modalities is pretty effective. Try them yourself, and you will likely experience a reduction in pain.
But combine them together, and THAT’S where things get interesting!
How would your life be different, if you...
- Felt the energy to play, jog, and toss the ball with your kids or grandkids – painlessly
- Lifted pots & pans easily, placing them up high and setting them down just as easily
- Swung your golf club solidly, striking the ball with every ounce of locked-up energy that’s been sitting just out of reach
- Graced the tennis courts with your confident hits and frustrating your opponents with your flexibility
- Relied on yourself instead of a therapist or doctor to get the pain-free, healthy joints you deserve (and also save some serious cash)
- Got out in the yard and back to enjoying the blissful peace of gardening
- Put on a jacket with ease, without help from a spouse or family member
- Radiated youth, energy, and self-assurance to those around you — as they drive themselves crazy trying to figure out your secret
- Sat in your work chair, feeling more energized (and focused) as you free up hoards of mental energy since you no longer think about your pain
Once you start going through these movements in minutes each day, you’ll see the results are exponential.
The problem with injections, topical solutions like Icy Hot, and single-modality “solutions” like acupuncture — is they only hit the pain from one angle.
That’s the exact reason I developed the 8-point approach. Because you absolutely MUST hit the problem from many sides.
- Why mimicking a giraffe eating gives you a valuable measurement of your posture (see assessment video)
- How to tell if you are “locked up”, and if your mid-back needs correcting
- How to use your smartphone to find your perfect posture
- The one thing stopping you from lifting your hands overhead (see assessment video)
- Which 4 areas to laser-target if you can’t lift your arms overhead
- The weird lopsided stretch that reveals which shoulder is stiffer (most have one that’s MUCH worse)
- Want to know how your flexibility compares to the average? “2-inch” threshold test shows you if you’re good, average or poor
- Sitting kills. This mid-back hack reverses the chair-torture...and you can use a 2-liter soda bottle to do it (see intermediate flow)
- Which parts of the shoulder you MUST avoid during self-massage (see beginner flow
- How your golf bag can probably give you a deeper massage (see beginner flow)
- The “swimmers block” secret that taps into 2 common shoulder tight spots (see beginner flow)
- The amazing 90/90 stretch that lengthens short muscles (see beginner flow)
- The muscle activation trick you ALREADY do (but simply need to hold for seconds longer to “flick the activation switch” and fire up the engine of shoulder function, movement, flexibility, strength and endurance)
- The weird hanging method for mobilizing your shoulder capsule...PLUS how to turn the intensity up and down using your toes
- The fun dance-style stretch to ignite all the little muscles connected to your shoulder
- ADVANCED: how finding the line between “uncomfortable” & “screaming pain” works miracles for unlocking your shoulders (see advanced flow)
Before I answer that, consider what it would cost to learn these movements from me personally…
It’d take me over an hour to properly walk you through everything, but let’s just say I only charge you for an hour:
I’m not saying this to brag. I just want you to understand that after 25+ years of doing this, people happily pay me to help them relieve their stubborn pain.
Keep in mind – I couldn’t charge that unless my methods actually worked!
Sure, there are other folks out there who can provide relief. And with time, their methods will also work (though not nearly as fast).
The obvious one is a physical therapist or chiropractor, which will run you a minimum of $100/session.
There’s a good chance they don’t know the secret to restructuring a healthy shoulder.
There’s an even better chance they’ll draw up a 3-month visit schedule that’ll set you back hundreds, if not over a thousand dollars.
Let’s take an honest look at a few of the other options, just to be sure:
If you have a fear of needles, you might want to skip this one. This procedure uses acupuncture needles to penetrate deep muscles and loosen them up.
It’s intense. If you’re like me, you’ll be lying in a puddle of sweat when you’re done, wanting to forget what just happened.
Not to mention, BDN does nothing to restructure your shoulder blade.
Initial treatment costs about $85, and follow up treatments range from $30-75/hr.
According to the University of Minnesota National, the U.S. national average hourly cost of a massage is $60/hr. For ONE session.
You BET it feels great, I’m a big fan of massages myself. But if you’re looking for serious, lasting relief, a massage just doesn’t:
1. Hit the trigger points in your neck, lats, shoulder blades, and rotators cuffs
2. Hit them in the right ORDER and with the right intensity
3. Work on restructuring the entire shoulder SYSTEM (Most important factor)
You will receive detailed, step-by-step instructions to gain your exclusive access to your copy of the program.
You’ll also get a Physical DVD shipped to your home…
...that contains the entire Unlock Your Tight Shoulders program.
This is where I’ll introduce you to the online dashboard. It’s so simple a 5-year old could navigate it.
Make sure you check this out so you know which order to watch the videos in.
In this section, I’ll walk you through a 3-step test to measure your shoulder flexibility before and after each series of movements.
Strangely enough, you’ll use your hip, ear, and shoulder as ‘reference points’ during the test.
You’ll love this because you can SEE the before and after... it might even surprise you how quickly you notice improvements!
Plus, if you find yourself without a computer or smart device, I have a PDF guide you can print out and use “on the go” if you need it.
These videos contain the core commandments of stopping shoulder pain. It’s the real “meat” of the program — where the magic happens. Here, I walk you through each of the movements with my helpful assistant.
These in-depth videos show you how to perform the movements from multiple angles, so it’s virtually impossible to get lost.
3 “flow” stages for almost any fitness level: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
Based on the test from Section 2, you’ll find out which level you fit into best. Once you’ve mastered the first level, and feel up to the challenge, you can progress into more advanced “flows”.
Plus: 2 Videos For Each Difficulty Level
- Instructional Video: This is the broken down, movement-by-movement, repetition-by-repetition version with Rick. As you’re learning these new movements, Rick virtually leads you by the hand, showing you in extreme detail what you should feel, how fast you should go, how many repetitions to do, and the level of intensity to use.
- Follow Along Video: In this condensed video, go through each of the exercises in real-time with Rick's Exercise Assistant. This is a great way to learn proper pacing as you gain confidence with the routines.
Power over your confidence... As you carry yourself more upright, commanding more respect from your friends, family and total strangers.Power over your love life... As you increase your upper-body strength, your flexibility, and your refreshed vigor and energy in bed with your partner.

I’ve shown you how I can Unlock Your Tights Shoulders, and all the reasons you’re likely where you are today.
I’ve shown you how the thousands of people I’ve helped in my 25+ years of hard work has provided me with the invaluable knowledge that I’d like to now pass on to you.
You can continue cutting hefty checks to massage therapists, physical therapists, and (gasp!) surgeons if it gets to that point…
You might get temporary help, but it’s in many of their best interests to keep you coming back, paying for more treatment, and making their pockets fatter.

You can stand up square every morning, proud of the graceful, painless way you move throughout your life.

Your mind is like a grocery cart: When you have shoulder, neck, and upper back tightness:
It’s like your cart is full to the brim with candy, cookies, and piles of 2-liter soda bottles.
It’s heavy. Sluggish. Like pushing a pile of bricks. And all you can think about is how annoying it is to lug around.
When you’re pain and tightness free, your cart is light — filled with leafy greens — and you glide through the day feeling happy and energetic, with even enough energy to read for an hour at night.
That’s what life without shoulder pain is like.
After one week of doing the movements inside this program, you will feel years younger.
After a month of doing these effortless movements, you’ll hardly recognize your own body
Remember, if you’re still not sure, you’re backed by my pain-proof 60-day guarantee. You literally risk nothing to get a shot at reclaiming your happiness, health, and flexibility.
A year from now, are your stiff shoulders still going to be waking you up an hour early?

"The Pain Hacker"
P.S. One more thing. This is my third release in the highly popular ‘Unlock’ series for pain.
Since these programs have been so popular, I don’t know when I’ll decide to package them all into one with Unlock Your Tight Hip Flexors, and Unlock Your Tight Ankles.
In that case, I’d likely have to raise the price to cover the cost of selling three programs in one.
Rather than risk an increase in price, here’s what I suggest:
- Order Unlock Your Tight Shoulders risk-free today
- Try it out (remember, you have 60 days to see if you like it). Experience the pain relief first hand...sleep better, get back to your life before shoulder pain, even if it’s been decades, and empower your life with safe, natural relief.
- If you still aren’t happy, for any reason, just send a one-line email to my customer support team OR give them a call at 1-(888) 291-2430 and they’ll promptly issue your full and immediate refund.
That’s all for today.
I sincerely wish you the best in your quest for better health, less pain, and a more active lifestyle; and I’d be delighted to play a part in helping you beat your pain.
P.P.S. I also included a brief snapshot of Scott’s journey with shoulder pain after getting in a bad car accident:
I had been working out at a local gym for some time and after getting into a car accident, I was advised to work with a kinesiologist to help repair and rebuild the strength in my shoulder. I was referred to one kinesiologist, who built me a good custom strength program, but I found my shoulder wasn’t healing properly and my muscles would tighten and push my shoulder out of place.
The trainer referred me to Rick because of his history specifically dealing with shoulder injuries. Rick immediately had me stop the weight training and we focused on “small twitch” muscle repair. I was skeptical because I had never heard of these muscles and the exercises Rick suggested required light force and different angles of pressure, without the use of weights. After two weeks, I had a noticeable increase in my range of motion and my recurring muscle tightness started to decline.
After two years of rehabilitation, I was finally making progress I was satisfied with. I would recommend Rick to anyone with hard to pinpoint and nagging upper body injuries, especially shoulder/rotator cuff and muscles that lead to the neck. I am very pleased with the results and I continue to work with Rick.
Excellent use of time.
The information was delivered in a clear, concise manner.
Rick made what could have been a complex concept easy to understand.
Since I started suffering from pain in my shoulder a year ago, I have been interested in the topic. X-Ray and Resonance were negative and I was told it probably depended on posture. I realized that my fitness training program was not going to work without seriously working on posture too.
There were very few professionals who focus on Scapula. After reading your webinar, I had the key to totally revise my way of training my upper body.The exercises you propose are relatively simple and effective.
I want to start by saying thank you for your videos on shoulder injury rehabilitation. I injured my shoulder weight lifting but it was probably accumulative due to years of playing saxophone with it’s heavy weight around my neck.
I wish I had just spent the $40 on your video before spending the hundreds of dollars on physiotherapy...
