In this video Dr. Cobb presents a situation in which a woman who had had restricted shoulder range-of-motion and shoulder pain for 50 years had a significant improvement in one session.

I have had a similar experience with a client who came in to try a jujutsu class. After a few minutes of warming up it was clear the client had a major shoulder problem. I tested his range-of-motion and he was not able to raise his elbow higher than his shoulder.

I literally worked with him for less than 3 minutes just to make sure he was safe to conduct jujutsu training and his shoulder range-of-motion was fully restored. He had lived with that problem and shoulder pain for 14 years.

In this case, I did not even do any work with his shoulder. I started off taking his wrist through a series of movements and his should greatly improved. Then I took his elbow through some exercise and we never needed to do anything with the shoulder itself.

As Doc pointed out in the video, the lady who had a 50 year shoulder problem needed some exercise for her eyes. If you do not have a clear understanding of brain mapping this may seem strange. But at least 75 percent of the people we work benefit from vision training regardless of what else may be a problem area for them.

This is not always the case, sometimes it is something we have to work at over time. But very often we see cases like this where a single session will fix a long-term problem.
