Hey friends, I'm trying something a little different at my practice. I'm going to try and maximize the use and exposure of my Youtube Channel to educate people. These videos will also be shared on Instagram.

I see a lot of health and wellness practitioners creating a wealth of information in the form of online video. Some have done such a good job over time, they have become go-to resources and experts in their category with the online community. I plan on creating weekly videos on my Youtube Channel to educate people and hopefully emulate what some of these other people have done.

The video you are about to watch is my first one. It's by no means perfect. I need to become more comforable, more confident, and more articulate. My goal is to eventually create much higher quality content. For now, I'm a rookie.

With that, I think it's simply easier for me to throw myself to the wolves and learn as I go. My improvement and growth is going to happen organically, because if I'm spending too much time prepping, it's going to take me a long time to improve.

So, please watch this video and go on Youtube and leave some comments, LIKE the video, and most importantly SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. That type of activity by you helps me be found in Youtube much easier by people searching for what I am teaching.

Cheers,

The big question is: **Why is my shoulder hurting, and how do I make the pain go away?** In this video I describe what muscles are most often hurting you, an...

I repair acute and chronic shoulder and rotator cuff injuries. From chronic shoulder pain associated with poor posture while sitting in front of a computer (software programmers, data entry, graphics designers, web developers), to acute and chronic Type 1 (a minor strain) shoulder and/or rotator cuff strains working out at the gym (weight lifting, cross fit) or at a physical job (building contractors, plumbers, painters, etc.). The majority of the athletes I treat are in high school; mostly soccer players, gymnasts, and some baseball players). Type II rotator cuff strains are more serious and are usually pretty big tears, and many (not all) require surgery. I work on Type II injuries either post-surgery, and often after a physical therapist could not get them back to 100% health.

Hi Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, and Massage Therapists,

Do you want to have an edge over other wellness practitioners in your area?
Do you want to give your patients an edge in their daily lives?
Do you want an effective, evidence based method for resolving shoulder and rotator cuff injuries?

I'm Dr. John Blenio of High Ampltitude Health, and I'm ready to take your health and wellness practice to the next level.

Over 2 million Americans suffer from Shoulder and Rotator Cuff pain and discomfort. In my practice I work with all types of patients: from elite athletes and weekend warriors, to chronic pain sufferers with old injuries. Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries are one of the most common problems seen in my practice, and I resolve them frequently and effectively. I have developed a step-by-step therapeutic protocol that is designed to resolve most of the common shoulder and rotator cuff injuries we see in our practices. It’s repeatable, and it works.

With this method, most Type I and Type II shoulder and rotator cuff injuries are resolved within 5-10 treatments.
With this focus on shoulder and rotator cuff rehab, I have created a niche that drives shoulder pain patients to my practice.
By marketing myself as a Rotator Cuff Rehab Specialist I am THE shoulder and rotator cuff specialist within my practice region.

I'm inviting you to a one-day intensive workshop to join my team of Rotator Cuff Rehab Specialists so you can get an edge on your competition, and grow your practice.

Comment EDGE to see if you qualify for this training.

This training can bring dozens of new patients and thousands of dollars of revenue to your practice.

Not sure how that's possible?
I'll show you how to assess patients and create an appropriate treatment plan that will resolve their condition, and bring raving reviews to your business. Check out this Yelp review:
“I went to Dr. Blenio after living with rotator cuff pain for several years. I previously saw two orthopedic surgeons who were ‘shoulder specialists’ but couldn't cure my condition. One even offered to do surgery if the pain persisted. During my first visit, Dr. Blenio diagnosed my pain as a muscle condition and began treating my shoulder with his proprietary treatment protocol. When he said my pain would be gone in about five treatments, I couldn't believe it. Five treatments later, it was gone. Dr. Blenio also taught me a self treatment regimen to prevent my shoulder pain from redeveloping, thereby lowering the overall cost of curing my condition. I would give Dr. Blenio 100 Stars if Yelp allowed. He is a highly competent and caring healer.” --Peter

The cost of becoming a Rotator Cuff Rehab Specialist is $697.
The first 5 registrants will receive the training for just $300.

This is a hands-on, small-group training. We have limited space available. This is only for wellness practitioners who have an existing clientele and are ready to expand their services.

Comment EDGE to see if you qualify for this training.

Ready for an edge?
Great! It's going to take a team to reach all the patients who are desperately looking to alleviate their shoulder and rotator cuff injuries and pain!

I'm looking forward to working with you! Let's give our patients the edge!

Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy. 1993.

Rotator cuff injury in athletes results from accumulation of microtrauma to both the static and dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder. Our classification of these injuries and treatment protocol is based on knowledge of the pathophysiology of events leading to rotator cuff failure. Rotator cuff disease is attributed to one of five different modes of failure: primary compressive disease, secondary compressive disease, primary tensile overload, secondary tensile overload, and macro traumatic injuries...
