Learn the Details of Dr. Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall's Unique Yoga Therapy Approach for Rotator Cuff Injuries.

As a doctor specializing in Rehabilitation Medicine, Dr. Fishman has developed a unique yoga therapy approach to working with rotator cuff. Dr. Fishman has used it successfully to help more than 725 people avoid expensive and debilitating rotator cuff surgery. In this course, Dr. Loren Fishman and yoga therapist Ellen Saltonstall explain this technique and how to use it to heal or avoid shoulder injuries.

• A review of the anatomy and kinesiology of the shoulder with particular attention to the four muscles of the rotator cuff, as well as the muscles most commonly injured in rotator cuff syndrome.
• An overview of the principal soft-tissue injuries of the shoulder and how to distinguish between them and identify the actual problem in individual cases. 
• A careful review of the most common errors people make in their yoga practice, and the yoga postures which put students the most at risk of shoulder injuries, plus key points of a safe practice.
• An in-depth exploration of the asana that is the most effective—in many cases nearly miraculously curative—for rotator cuff injuries, as well as best ways to practice the asana. By using this simple technique in his practice, Dr. Fishman has been able to help 90 percent of more than 700 people with rotator cuff injuries make progress and avoid surgery.
• Details of a practice to help prevent rotator cuff injury, and to reduce pain in practitioners who already have this condition.

This Course Also Includes These Bonuses!

• Guided audio practice session
• Receive a special report on yoga injuries based on a survey of more than 33,000 yoga teachers and therapists by Dr. Fishman, Ellen Saltonstall, and Susan Genis. It provides an overview of the most common types of yoga injuries, as well as the yoga asanas that tend to present the most risk. It further goes more deeply into the key factors that are important for reducing injuries in yoga classes.
• Report: Osteoporosis Drugs: Bad for Your Body—And For Your Bones? Osteoporosis is a near-epidemic age-related condition, often known as the “silent thief,” because bone loss occurs without any symptoms. Forty-four million Americans are known to have low bone mass. That amounts to 55% of everyone over 50. An estimated, 70% of hip fractures are related to osteoporosis, and 50% of those fractures result in death or permanent disability. In fact, a woman’s risk of hip fracture is equal to the combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer.  

Loren Fishman, MD

After graduating from Christ Church, Oxford, spending the year 1973 with Mr. Iyengar in Pune, attending every class, public and private, and taking daily instruction, Loren M. Fishman, M.D., was told “You can teach my yoga.” Dr. Fishman then went to medical school, and at Rush, in a Tufts-Harvard Residency program, and as Chief Resident at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, did indeed teach patients, health professionals, and also learned more about yoga and medicine himself. He has been practicing yoga daily since the year he spent with Mr. Iyengar, has written and edited more than 65 academic articles, chapters and books in the philosophy of science, and Rehabilitation Medicine, his field. His work has been reviewed in articles by Jane Brody, Spine, and a number of international periodicals. He is past President of the New York Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, currently Associate Editor of Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation, on the staff at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Treasurer of the Manhattan Institute for Cancer Research, and has a private practice on Park Avenue in Manhattan.
