Personal note from the author:
As a yoga instructor with over 16 years of experience, I can tell you that one of the top questions I have heard from my students time after time is how can they relieve shoulder pain and neck pain. The right yoga postures can keep your shoulders and neck healthy and pain free. Best of all you don't even have to have any experience with yoga to use this book. That is why I wrote it; to show people how to use gentle yoga postures to relieve shoulder and neck issues and also to help them understand why their shoulders and neck become painful or tight in the first place. Think of this as your healthy shoulder handbook!
What others are saying about Release Your Shoulders, Relax Your Neck
The exercises as well as the information on stretching and strengthening the shoulders and neck is fantastic. This is a very patient friendly approach to understand the complex shoulder. Also included are excellent tips and advice for prevention. I have and will continue to refer to Howards book in treating patients.

This book is the perfect answer for writers like me who spend most of their waking hours at a computer. The exercises are clearly described, easy to do, and most can be done right in my office. After years of neck and shoulder pain and stiffness it is wonderful to feel loose and pain-free again.
