Back to square one... for the last time

“Aahh, not again”, you think to yourself. You just want to turn over and howl into your pillow.

This was the eighth consecutive night you’d not slept through. And the frustration of never being able to rest was cutting deep.

It wasn’t like you didn’t know the importance of a restful night’s sleep… and how beneficial it was to your recovery… but trying to fall asleep with needle-like pains shooting down your arm was near-on impossible.

Again, it was Bong that sent your recovery spiralling back to square one.

"Roll the forearm... raise the elb-"

And that’s all it takes.

Months of recovery progress… gone. Just like that.

That's how it happened to me too.

But what I was about to discover, over the next two years, would not only completely heal my shoulder but also unlock hidden self-confidence - in my body AND my Wing Chun abilities.

Here's my story of how I fixed my shoulder pain, eliminated injury anxiety and removed self-doubt to become one of the few 3rd-level graded Wing Chun students in the last 40 years.

...all without fancy equipment, surgery and steroid injections.

Heal your Wing Chun shoulder pain FOREVER

Take our Easy-to-Follow Course

"The art that had given me so much, was slowly taking everything away..."

The tingly hand and numb fingers were becoming all too familiar.

As were the sharp, shooting pains down my left arm.

Over the past three years, I’d found maybe a handful of arm positions that didn’t make me wince in pain.

And only one whilst I slept.

Day after day. Night after night. I battled. And fought the urge to stop Wing Chun.

Because each time the pain returned (which it did... often), it became increasingly painful.

This time, in 2015, the pain became so relentless nightmares would taunt me in my sleep.

Injury anxiety took over my life, and the pain I was suffering made Wing Chun seem no longer worth it.

The art I’d practised - and loved - since 2003 was zapping my usual zest for life. And the love in my relationships. It made me feel worthless.

For three years, my shoulder pain had chewed me up...

And it was now spitting me out.

From down and out. To one of the very few.

Standing there, awkwardly, on that Saturday afternoon at the UKWCKFA HQ in Rayleigh, Essex - I didn’t know how to feel.

"What's done is done", I'd repeat to comfort myself.

And then he said it…

“After a long, hard consideration, it is with great pleasure that I present this 3rd-level grading from the UKWCKFA to... Lee Glanville..."

Relief. That’s what hit first.

And then what felt like every other emotion from the last nine years. All at once.

The cherry on top was Master James Sinclair sharing that only 20-30 students had gotten to this stage since the 80s...

That's less than one each year! And I was now one of them.

Knowing I get to drive home and tell my partner, Hayley, good news meant so much... feelings I can't articulate with words.

She'd been with me on this journey. And witnessed just how much I’d gone through to get to this point...

The sleepless nights. The years of excruciating pain. The crushed hope.

I don't think she thought I'd ever get to this point. And to be honest, neither did I.

But what I eventually discovered about Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome meant shoulder pain would become a distant memory.

Not just for me, but for many other practitioners too. Here's how it happened...

The tightrope of injury anxiety

Back in 2012, nine years before my 3rd-level grading, my Wing Chun took a turn for the worse.

Until then, my progress had been smooth, and I was loving the art more than ever. Because I'd been practising since 2003, Wing Chun felt like more than just a hobby.

I'd made great friends, developed my character, progressed well, and simply loved the art and everything it had to offer.

But the pain that greeted me in 2012 was unlike anything I'd ever felt.

It was constant. And it took hold of my life. Instantly.

Not only did the pain eventually force me to step back from Wing Chun, but it also blocked me from doing basic human functions. You know, things like...

...putting on a jumper or jacket.

...scratching my head.

...putting my arm under my pillow.

...picking up my kids.

Over the next few years, I'd repeatedly visit physios, osteopaths, and chiropractors. All with no luck.

They didn’t understand the injury or the movement patterns of Wing Chun, so it’s no surprise they were unable to treat the root cause of my dysfunctional shoulder.

At my very worst, in 2015, I spent ~3 weeks in the broken wing position - even while I slept.

It was the only position that provided a smidgen of relief. And it was around then I seriously considered stopping Wing Chun for good.

I'd taken a bit of time away before. You know, to try and let my shoulder heal.

...but as soon as I started practising again, the pain came back. Worse.

That's why injury anxiety riddled me with fear. I was petrified of permanent damage. But I didn't want to stop practising.

And with countless allied healthcare professionals promising to fix my shoulder, reassuring me it was getting better... yet having the pain repeatedly return worse... I felt helpless.

Even when I was temporarily away from the art, "recovering", and my shoulder felt pain-free, I had no confidence it was getting better.

And in 2015, I just couldn’t push through it anymore. It was all getting too much..

And then something weird happened...

Call it fate. Call it desperation.

But Wing Chun had led me on a health journey - and after completing a new phase of education in 2015, I finally had the "penny-drop" moment I needed.

I would eventually discover that the rehabilitation I needed was surprisingly simple.

How Wing Chun has helped me help thousands of people in pain

I started Wing Chun in 2003 under Sifu Nick Martin. And, hand on heart, I can say the art has given me so much in life. It’s actually what sparked my health journey and has since helped me help thousands of people in pain.

In 2009, I started learning with the Chek Institute

I've now completed all the Chek Institute training except one.

In 2013, I achieved my certification in Integrative Neuromuscular Therapy.

I was taught by one of the world leaders in INMT and studied to the highest practical level.

I studied with the Neuro-Orthopaedic Institute, specialising in pain neuroscience.

I was taught by David Butler & Tim Beames, pioneers in pain science research.

I completed the HeartMath Coach Certification course

Under the skilled guidance of Gavin Andrews and Alan Strydom.

I've had plenty more certifications and education in between

...A diploma in Sport Psychology and BSc in Biological Anthropology

What the research showed, surprised me...

From my years of formal health education, clinical experience and Wing Chun knowledge, I realised I had everything I needed to fix the root cause of my shoulder. (I'd actually just completed an upper body module with some vital information).

And one of my early discoveries completely changed how I viewed my injury.

You see, research showed that the type of shoulder pain I was suffering (anterior impingement syndrome) has two “modes”. Acute and chronic.

And to explain them very simply, think of it this way:

Acute mode = pain

Chronic mode = painless

The further I dived into the research, the more shocking the discoveries became.

Because I soon found that everyone is predisposed to this shoulder dysfunction. Even “normal” non-practitioners.

Just Wing Chun students, like you and me, tend to pass the threshold and cycle through these modes at an accelerated rate.

Avoid the unavoidable

You see, because we're constantly practising movement patterns that (unavoidably) aggravate the rotator cuff, the acute stages are usually very painful.

Meaning, that without fully stabilising the joint, shoulder damage is almost inevitable from Wing Chun.

But…

As painful as the acute mode is, the chronic (in my opinion) is the more dangerous of the two.

Because although you're not in pain, you’re not exactly “fixed” either.

The underlying dysfunction is still there... just you don’t feel the continuous damage you’re causing.

So you train through it…

...further deteriorating your shoulders. Weakening them. Destabilising them.

Until one day...

They break for good.

In severe cases, this means a rotator cuff tendon tear (which does require surgical involvement... and a long recovery process). Which nobody wants.

It was this false sense of recovery that likely caused the pain in my shoulder to return more severe each time. (I was doing more damage without realising)

But, amazingly, I avoided surgery - and I still thank my lucky stars.

Many do not.

The development of Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome (WCSS)

Finding the solution

Over the next couple of years, I would test endless exercises, stretches and joint mobilisation techniques - often for 2-3 months at a time. Documenting my findings as I went.

And eventually, I did manage to rehab my shoulder.

There wasn’t this big "eureka" moment where the pain suddenly disappeared. Instead, it was more of a gradual realisation...

Because, in a sense, I thought I was just cycling through the “modes” again… only the acute mode never returned.

And still hasn’t. 7 years later.

When I realised this (I knew how long my "mode cycles" generally lasted), I reassessed myself and compared the results to my baseline tests.

There was a clear difference in pretty much every assessment.

This was an important discovery. Because it meant progress could be measured. And if it can be measured, it can be managed - and improved.

So, over the next few months, I formalised my findings and narrowed my recovery down to 3 key stages.

To ensure I hadn’t just ‘got lucky’, I took them to my training partner who had also been suffering on and off from shoulder pain.

I'd made note of my symptoms and initial assessment results. And unsurprisingly, we had a lot in common.

After following my plan for a few months, his pain went away too. (And hasn’t returned either.)

Soon word got around, and more were asking.

So in 2017, I coined the term “Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome”, and created a specific PDF as a recovery handout for my clients.

...again, more great results.

And with those great results and fit-again clients, some people started to call me by the affectionate nickname 'Wing Chun Dr'. It was like everything became clearer to me.

As I began to help more people, my findings became increasingly consistent. And a "common path" was obvious to me.

That's how I mapped out the 3 stages of WCSS (in the pyramid above).

Stage 1 originates from a sinking of the shoulder (and elbow) and leads to a tight latissimus dorsi. This is the start of the syndrome.

Over time, this leads to Stage 2. This is where you experience cyclic pain from impingement or tears.

And then if you continue pushing through, you'll end up in Stage 3. It's here where you're causing the most damage because your shoulder instability is at its worst.

Keep in mind, you'll likely cycle through the "modes", so sometimes Stage 2 can be painless too. The dysfunction is present but your pain isn't constant.

You can see how easy it is to end up in Stage 3 - without realising it.

And inadvertently leaving yourself at high-risk of long-term damage.

I eventually found that one test - the "Latissimus Dorsi Length Test" - proved a reliable indicator in determining whether the first stage of the dysfunction was present (or the practitioner was at elevated risk).

This meant I could help others who hadn't yet experienced painful symptoms so they could prevent them from ever occurring.

The PDF ultimately narrowed down the rehab into these three stages...

The 3 Stages of Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome Rehab

1

Recognise

Identify and understand the dysfunction, the muscle imbalances and joint instabilities.

2

Rehabilitate

Identify and understand the corrective joint mobilisations, stretches and exercises.

3

Excel

Re-stabilise and re-strengthen your shoulder. So you can excel in Wing Chun with confidence.

A small bump in the road

Up until now, almost everyone I'd worked with was pain-free within 12 weeks.

This was great news. The rehab process was working. Consistently.

But I started to run into a problem...

You see, my private services generally have a waiting list of 6-8 months. All year round.

...and the minimum service package starts at £3000.

With the volume of people wanting WCSS rehab, I simply didn't have enough time to help them.

And this was frustrating. Especially when I had a tried-and-tested rehab process that had already helped so many Wing Chun students.

I didn't want people to fall out of love with the art through an injury that I knew how to fix.

...but I was becoming the bottleneck that meant they might.

The "secret" to complete shoulder confidence

So in late 2019, I started to create something that would help even more practitioners experience pain-free Wing Chun.

I began piecing together more information, actioning feedback from my clients, adding findings from the latest research and using my growing orthopaedic and health-related education to deliver something unbeatable.

I wanted to double down on what people had found helpful.

And not only help them fix their shoulder in 12 weeks but also gift them the confidence to return to high-intensity Wing Chun straight after.

So since then, with my Sifu, Nick Martin, I've been “in the trenches” creating something better than ever before.

(And the only one of its kind).

The feedback in our trial group has been great. And now, we'd like to share it with you.

So you can feel pain-free in Bong Sao, Chi Sao, and Lok Sao once again.

So you can have complete confidence in your shoulders and your body.

So you can excel in the martial art you love. Forever.

Here's what other Wing Chun students say...

“I have been training and teaching the Wing Chun system for 33 years and with high intensity training. In the beginning, I started to feel soreness and restrictions in my range of movement. As the years progressed and I also trained in BJJ the soreness became much worse - it started to affect my sleep patterns and activities of daily life became at times unbearable. Lucky for me, I worked in the NHS (27 years to date) so I had access to all the physiotherapists and orthopaedic consultants. My range of movement is fine with non weight-bearing and becomes painful with weight-bearing. I was given basic standard exercises and the odd injection to reduce the pain, which only lasted a week. I currently work in trauma and orthopaedic ward with over a 100 physiotherapists and no one can explain the specific exercises and treatment for injury other than surgery.

Back to the present day, thanks to @wingchun_dr I learnt the anatomy of the muscle groups which I regularly use in wing chun. This was never discussed in my previous physiotherapy sessions. @wingchun_dr differs in many ways to treat the source of the problem. The rehab goes through techniques which I could target the muscles causing the problem. There's variations of stretches which I found very helpful and easy to incorporate in to my daily working life. The various weighted exercises are great way of managing/strengthening the different muscle groups. The short videos are a great help on each subject and I can pick one quickly to recap my knowledge. The program has also highlighted for me other areas of weakness and these are now being dealt with on a daily schedule.

The rehab program is for all martial artists and boxers alike because similar injuries can occur in MMA/BJJ and boxing. I have recommended this course to my students and other martial artists to have a pain-free journey in their respective martial arts.

Once again thank you to Lee and Sifu Nick Martin for taking the time and effort to produce this rehab program.”

Here's what other Wing Chun students say...

“Quite rarely in life there comes a delightful surprise, a new way of dealing with an old problem. Such as is the case with this program on how to rehabilitate shoulder injuries.

There's probably nothing worse than getting an injury when doing something that I love to do; kung fu, weight training or callisthenics, it not only stopped me in my tracks from participating in the joy of training but also from doing other bread and butter activities that I'd taken for granted. And this was exactly the kind of program that I dreamed of having.

What I admired most is the level of detail and structure but at all times understandable to the lay person, breaking it down into bitesize segments - 1) how the muscle/joint structure works and why it goes awry, 2) how to check if there is a disruption, 3) exercises to reset them and finally, 4) other essential factors, such as nutrition and the ways to mitigate daily stress so that the body heals faster. It covers everything in a methodical, elegant manner building up from the roots - just the way a great teacher would.

Possibly the best thing about the program is the time efficient ease of accomplishing the exercises, which means that it can be incorporated onto a training routine.

It's the program I wish I had when I was a newbie training in kung fu and let loose in a gym, with loads of enthusiasm but very little knowledge or wisdom. I can imagine the many, many hours of research over the years it took to accumulate and then distill it. It's superb.”

You'll understand the root cause of your injury, meaning through our 12-week programme, you can recover and return to Wing Chun in complete confidence.

"Earlier in my Wing Chun training, I felt recurring pain on my left shoulder which really affected my training. Realising how important the shoulders are to the effectiveness of the art, I wanted to resolve the issue but also find a way to prevent it from reoccurring.

I decided to download The Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome course and it has been the perfect solution for me. Other than overcoming the issue with my shoulder, I now have a good understanding of its mechanics, I am more confident, but most importantly I have proactively added to my training some of the stretches to prevent any issues in the future.

I do other sports and I truly think that the advice and solutions provided by the course are relevant to any sport that engages shoulder strength and mobility."

- Kostas, Wing Chun student

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I expect to see results?

The 12-week plan, in most cases, is enough to fully rehab the shoulder from Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome.

How long does it take to go through the course?

This is completely up to you. You can go through the 84 video lessons at your own speed and as many times as you’d like.

How do I know the course will help my shoulder pain?

We've helped countless Wing Chun students diagnose and rehabilitate their WCSS using the content and evidence-based methods in this course. I also used the same methods to rehab myself in 2015/16. So as long as you have WCSS, you’ll likely join them in pain-free Wing Chun.

I've had surgery but my pain has come back. Will this help?

So long as you’re out of the postoperative recovery stage, and you have WCSS, this course will help. We guide you through assessments to see whether you have WCSS or not. And then provide you with the necessary rehabilitation.

I don't have pain right now but I have before. Will the course still help?

In a nutshell, yes. If you’ve not actively fixed the root cause of your WCSS shoulder pain, there’s a chance you’re experiencing a “chronic” (painless) phase of the syndrome. This course will help fix the root cause, so the “acute” (painful) phase never returns.

I've not had pain but I'm worried about getting it. Will this help?

Yes, this course is a great prehab resource and will help you avoid the (usually unavoidable) muscle imbalances and shoulder irritation that Wing Chun causes. WCSS is one of the most prevalent injuries in Wing Chun. So all Wing Chun practitioners will benefit from WCSS prehab.

Kostas Sfaltos, Wing Chun student

Lee has helped so many people who suffer from Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome that he was given the affectionate nickname 'Wing Chun Dr'. When co-founding the business to help even more people with WCSS, it seemed natural to use his nickname. Lee holds numerous qualifications but is not a medical doctor. This course is not designed to treat any serious shoulder pathologies - always consult a medical professional if in pain or before starting a new exercise plan. This is only designed to help anyone with the typical muscle imbalance found within Wing Chun.

Pain is a complex topic. Please investigate the book 'Explain Pain' by Butler for a thorough understanding of pain neuroscience. If you have had pain for longer than 6 months and you haven't moved forward even after guided exercise, please consider psychosocial factors.

This course looks at pain primarily from a biological perspective (in this case, muscle balance) - please consider psychosocial aspects of pain also.

If you have been diagnosed with a compressive pathology in the cervical spine, then some of the exercises to rehabilitate the shoulder will be contraindicated.

This course is for anyone with Wing Chun Shoulder Syndrome or those who want to prevent it.
