$39 – Unlock Your Shoulders

Because you shouldn’t have to limit your life to manage shoulder pain or dysfunction.

You’ve got shoulders – two of them! It’s about time you learn to use them correctly…

You reach overhead and there’s that catch. You know the one. Where your shoulder decides “nope, not today.”

So you adjust, work around it, maybe skip things altogether.

Why does this even happen?

It’s simple: your shoulder’s protecting itself.

When you don’t move your shoulders through their full range regularly, your nervous system starts treating normal movements like threats. It locks everything down with protective tension.

You Already Know What Doesn’t Work…

Stretching? Feels like medieval torture. And even when you tough it out, you’re back to square one tomorrow.

Band exercises from that YouTube PT? Sure, your external rotators got a workout. But your shoulder still feels like it’s on fire when you reach behind your back.

Just grinding through it? Yeah, we both know how that ends.

The problem with all this stuff is that it treats your shoulder like a mechanical part you can just tinker with until it works again.

But your shoulder – and this is obvious when you think about it – works as part of a system with your thoracic spine, your scapula, your neck, and your nervous system all playing interdependent roles.

Your 3-Phase System for Unlocking Shoulder Function

The Shoulders Unlocked protocol addresses the whole system:

Shoulders Unlocked: Release
Momentum-based movements to calm down that protective response. The rhythmic motion tells your nervous system “we’re safe here,” and coordinates all the related structures and systems.
Shoulders Unlocked: Reach
Restore the coordination between your shoulder blade, thoracic spine, and the shoulder joint itself. Instead of abstract isolation exercises, we’re putting the shoulder to work in a natural way.
Shoulders Unlocked: Reinforce
Load these new ranges with smart strengthening work. This is what makes it stick. Instead of creating temporary mobility, we’re building strength and control that lasts.

Because life is too short to live with pain.

This is a standalone video-based mini-program. You’ll get lifetime access so you can refer to the materials for years to come.

 

Guaranteed Results

Buy Shoulders Unlocked and actually do the exercises.

Do them again, and again.

Do them at least five times over your first ten days.

We can’t promise a 100% cure for any specific shoulder injury, but if you’re not feeling stronger and more confident, we’ll give you your money back so you can buy a 5-year supply of Kirkland Signature ibuprofen from Costco 🙂

 

Got questions? We (unsurprisingly) have the answers.

We’ve been teaching online since 2010 and have worked with over 125k clients. There’s a solid chance we’ve got your Qs covered here 🙂

Can I do this with my other training?

Yes.

It’s supplemental training that pairs with everything – Elements, Integral Strength, kettlebell juggling, CrossFit, whatever. It’s low-impact enough to slot in without screwing up your recovery.

SUL works well with all kinds of sports or training programs.

How often should I do it?

Start with 2-3 times per week. We’ve included a full guide to using the exercises and workouts, and there’s a lot of flexibility.

How long do sessions take?

15 minutes. Do it during lunch breaks, between Zoom meetings, or on your recovery days.

What if I've had a severe shoulder injury?

This won’t replace actual medical care. If that’s what you need, please get it in person.

But if you’ve done that and been cleared for exercise, maybe done rehab or PT, then this is a viable option to reinforce the recovery work and restore greater strength and function.

No but, for real, what if I had a SLAP tear?

If you did your rehab and can think about exercise without wanting to cry, you’ll be fine.

Is this just for post-injury?

Not at all. It works even if you haven’t had an injury – and can hope you keep it that way.

What equipment do I need?

Some floor. Something to sit on. A wall or sturdy table to push against.

Is there an app I have to download?

You can use the browser on your computer or phone to access, and there’s an optional app you can use to access GMB Studio, where Shoulder Unlocked and a few other courses are hosted. Your choice.

What if I have a question that's not covered here?

Still reading? Not sure if this will work for you?

I’ve been a physical therapist for almost three decades. Ten years in the clinic, fifteen more working with thousands online.

I’ve seen every shoulder issue imaginable, and here’s what I know:

The momentum-based release work bypasses that stretch reflex that makes static stretching so miserable. The integrated approach addresses the actual problem, not just where it hurts. And the progressive loading ensures you keep what you gain.

This isn’t fancy. It’s what works.

The same principles I’d use if you walked into my clinic, distilled into a 15-minute routine you can do anywhere.

If you wanna get better, do this now.
