I’ll be retiring from the physical therapy profession in the next two months after 42 years. What I have enjoyed over the past few years is watching all these “younger” PT’s on Y tube. E3rehab is one of the best. Love their information and how they present. You will not find more up to date info explained in such an un-biased way. Wishing you all the best!
This is a very comprehensive video for shoulder issues in general. I use these daily and have helped a lot of people. Great job E3! Keep putting out quality content!
Great information on this channel. I recently re-injured my rotator cuff and having to go through another long rehab period again is very depressing and frustrating.
I have damaged my ac joint shoulder cartilage while doing this shitty double bar dips now I cannot do any workouts n this is literally depressing to me I m gym freak n this injury has taken a toll to my mental health I m going through lot of pain and breakdowns 😢I think it was my destiny
Right Shoulder rotator injury for 15 yrs, 42 yrs old now. I've been working on it for 8 months nonstop. Wasn't able to do these exercises with 1 pound dumbbell at start now able to do with 15-20 pound dumbbells. I feel it won't be fully repaired ever. All the young gym goers, don't just jump on bench and bench pressing or dumbbell pressing without proper warm up every single time cuz that's what I did in my younger years. Proper technique is MUST. Shoulder injury can last all your life.
Same thing happened with me. Im 28, have had shoulder pain for a couple of months. Remember doing bench press a bit too quickly since I had to go somewhere, have had pain in my right shoulder while lifting since then. Do you recommend any exercises or recovery routine?
Get the book "Shoulder Pain? Solution & Prevention". Also watch the videos from Precision Movement and the El Paso PT doctor on this topic. Also very thorough. Begin to improve your neck and back posture, become aware of your movements, and give yourself a good year of rehab. If you're consistent and self motivated, you can do most at home. A session a month with someone else always helps to gain more tips and keep you motivated in a community.
@@Alduizardexactly two year ago I injured my ac joint in shoulder and my gym life got over bcz I had torn my cartilage and once the cartilage is gone it's gone their is no cure for it and u think wat my mental condition would be 😢
I can't tell you guys how much I love your channel. I love you guys so much! Thank you for everything you do and the knowledge you bring. I'm so grateful ❤
I pulled a heavy sofa too quickly and got a rotator cuff tear. It's been 5 months now, still now completely recovered. The only way forward is to follow the exercises shown in this video
I fell on my shoulder and have tears and also had old tears and the more physical therapy I did the worse it got, was better to leave it alone now just doing light exercises - think these are very aggressive
I cut certain exercises (like overhead shoulder press), started doing the cable external rotation, and altered how I do other exercises (more neutral grip). I can say that after a couple of months, I fell so much better! I need to start working on regaining some mobility next. Great video! I will add a couple more of these exercises to my routine.
Hey did you maybe find out if rehab for overuse is the same? It doesn't make sense to me that it is. How could more exercise be a solution to too much exercise?
@@glacialimpalaOveruse is different from rehab, If I Always do Bench Press my chest gets stronger for more weight but the shoulders dont and Then the shoulder gets overused but These excersices strengthen the shoulders and are Not meant to be done with excessive weight, its rehab and strengthening of the shoulders Not building them bigger and using more weight
@@DarthVader-r5q Not every shoulder pain is from weakness in non-shoulder-main exercise, sometimes it's inflammation of the tendon or some sort of narrowing around it, which is why I expressed doubt about *any* added exercise, rehab or not, being helpful.
Ugh! Post menopausal and I have rotator cuff pain from planking (I’ve been doing planks for a long time). I always go to PT prior to seeing my PCP. Sadly, It takes a lot longer to heal the older I get. I’m going to try these exercises. I wish there was more information on post menopausal exercise for the average woman. Most of us are NOT professional athletes, physios or PTs. We have to start with smaller weights or even no weight.
I train my shoulder with bench press, dips, pushups, pullups, rows, ohp, lateral y raises and facepulls in the gym. The vid seems to confirm to me that i have most functions/patterns covered 👍🏽 just want to still improve my range of motion for a more effective ohp, so I'll probably start to sprinkle in some stretches as exercise snacks during the day.
This is exactly what I needed. This coming Friday I have an appointment with a physiatrist to set up a program to restore mobility and reduce pain in my right shoulder. I was happy to learn that exercise is very effective, even in the case of full rotator cuff tears. I don't know the extent of the damage in mine, but I'm confident now that I'll be able to be more comfortable and functional. My situation is somewhat complicated by the fact of having an impingement in my neck at C4, on the same side as my sore shoulder. This has existed for years and when I pass a threshold for activity with my right arm it triggers off spasms in my trapezius all the way up to its attachment on the back of the cranium. And damn, does that hurt. Nevertheless, I know my limits as far as exercises from years of dealing with this and armed with the new info you've provided am confident I can at least make some progress. I know I'll never be able to do what I did years ago, but I'm still in better shape than most people my age (68) and I'll stay active no matter what. Thanks so much for this excellent video!
i got a grade 2 shoulder sprain from brazilian jiu jitsu + having ehler danlos syndrome (I know. its bad for me. but i love it!) I am using this to help along my recovery + strengthen my "good side" to prevent future damage and protect my joints. Thank you! best presentation I have seen!
this was incredibly helpful, i tore both my shoulders a week and a half ago in a benching incident and didnt know what to do with myself when it came to the gym. the alternatives are super helpful, pushups and pullups even deadhangs have put too much shoulder strain and it hurts. couldnt do flys either the pressure hurt the front muscle of my shoulders so this is very helpful thank you
Would you recommend these for shoulder impingement? Would the process be to fix shoulder mechanics thus creating space for the impingement? Really enjoyed the video, appreciated the in depth content.
This video is the BEST. I had a RCuff surgery last year, did PT, and started lifting weights again and I have pain on the back of the shoulder now. I am injecting peptides PBC 157 and doing these exercises, and the pain is slowly going away. Dont want a 2nd surgery for sure.
just got shoulder pain 3 weeks ago. couldnt be more thankful for this video. a question, do you recommend doing these exercises BEFORE or AFTER workout sessions?
Was having pain shoulder pain because of gym, was watching this video now and performing exercises instant relief felt. Super like. I really like all your videos❤❤ love greetings from Germany
Do these exercises reduce pain or actually potentially could stop tear enlargement or reduce it or at least arrange torn fibers in a way reducing irritation of tendon ?
I really appreciate this! I have attended physio for 7 months now and with increasing healing. However, I am looking forward to building back strength and trying to hold off future injuries.
I will try some of these again. I have a 40+ year old shoulder injury from swimming which acts up every 10 years or so and I am in the midst of a flareup since the end of October. One round of PT made me so much worse I had to stop, prolotherapy injection which helped in the past is now useless to me. I went back to my original PT who added some exercises to my regular mid-back routine and dx impingement, but I still have shoulder pain in different angles and even with light weight lifting, like 5 lb weights. This is frustrating beyond belief. I had an ultrasound at the beginning which just showed inflammation. I keep working at it.
@@RacistmfsI unfortunately fell a month ago and have full thickness tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus on MRI and very limited range of motion and strength. I can’t lift my arm more than about 75 degrees. Unfortunately I’m headed for surgery next month but I’m doing prehab with my PT and hope that makes my recovery easier. I could not possibly do any of these exercises at this time.
@@irenecohen8708may u have speedy recovery I also have injury and these shoulder injury r so fustrating bcz these don't fade away so easy these shoulder injuries r so complex that they really r very fustrating
This was such a great video! Very easy to follow, evidence based, and interesting to watch! I have been to PT but I am on a high deductible health insurance plan and need to reduce costs. I was doing the ATY excersie there and am very greatful for the alternatives since i dont have a bench!
This was excellent - thanks so much. I posted a comment earlier but it didn't appear. My sleep is especially troubled as I toss and turn in a semi-delirious way. Keep up the good work!❤
Informative as always, just about a year since I've dealt with it and all the physios that I've been to ain't been much help. Been trying this week to focus stretching and strengthening my serratus anterior and lower trapezius to see if it helps with it at all.
i did surgey to my right shoulder. MRI scan showed nothing and the pain was still there. i tried many years of rehab. I wish i didn't do the surgery. they found nothing when they went inside. i did an arthroscopy. they did not cut the bicep tendon and reattached it, they just looked. they did however perform a bursectomy, i.e. removing the subacromial bursa, and the ortophedic surgeon told me that it grows back within 6-8 weeks, aka they did nothing they just looked. the rehab was going forward in the end before the surgery. i wish i never did it. now my left shoulder is f*cked and same problem there. these tendons takes ages to heal ffs. my suggestion is to take it easy, dont ego lift, bands are really good, go through all of the function of the shoulder daily if you can, with a light band, start with a light band, progress SLOWLY to stronger resistance band color wise. try to think that your sole purpose is to restore balance and function to the glenohumeral joint, not to increase in weights or become stronger. the weight does not matter. get some good blood circulation in there. it should feel good afterwards immediately inside the shoulder and 1-2 days after aswell. if not, then lower the resistance or eliminate painful movement patterns. I wish you all rehabbing your shoulders the very best of luck since we are on the same boat. i also have my right knee that's damaged and needs rehab aswell. it's really sad. people who are lazy and dont lift weights and people like me, that loves to workout but can't. :( it is my fault 100%, the injuries doesn't just appear randomly. It's not a random variable, there is a reason.
Can you tell me what exercises should i do? Im in The point where i basically cant do any fast movement with my shoulders, and i need to think about every slow movement to not yell from pain
@@Kem3s take the lightest band and perform all the function of the shoulder joint, google shoulder function and movement pattern. get the external internal abduction adduction flexion extension, all movements and do some reps a couple of days a week. start there. try to feel the rotator cuff working in the scapula, if you feel the joint anteriorally stop the movement.
@@Stekaren Would you suggest this for overuse too? I think I have biceps tendonitis manifesting as pain in the front side of the deltoid, there was no incident, it just built up due to overuse with weight lifting. To me it makes more sense to just lay off the upper body entirely, but you may know better?
@@glacialimpala i take back what i said about the bands. i tried bands for 6 months, i saw ZERO improvement. the thing that worked for me was Mark rippetoes shoulder case study. watch his youtube video named "shoulder case study". there are no specific exercises you can do in an event of an injury. the function of the muscle does not change if you have different exercises. try to feel as little pain as possible. if you have inflammation you will always feel some pain, a 4 in a scale from 1 to 10 is fine. im 50% healed now writing this and what i'm doing is implementing the function of the muscles in compound lifts and training with higher reps and lower weights. the reason i saw no improvement is because i sought to train in pain free range of motions which is practically impossible if you're rehabbing, thats why i never increased the intensity of my workouts i would suggest you train pronated/supinated lat pulldown and rehab your biceps in back exercises. you get good amount of biceps there and you can increase the load slowly as the back is taking most of the lift and not your biceps directly. start with a really low weight and aim to do 3-5 sets 8-12 reps. If it feels good the day after, you keep the same weight for another session. if the same weight feels good the second session, you increment the weights with 2.5 kg (approx 5lbs) next week. you keep doing this linear progression slowly and your tendons will get stronger and heal. you want to directly train the tendon you've injured or it will never get better alone. as you've mentioned; resting does not make a tendonitis go away. you need movement and the faster you start, the better the results. you might want to start with low weights on the lat machine pulldown and lower the range of motion initially. good luck bro. avoid stretching statically when you're injured. do NOT stretch at all. i would not stretch. I cannot recommend you to follow this. Im just saying this is what i would have done in your case.

If you a have messed up shoulder, always go for screening and then visit a doctor and rehab only after a certain period of time not like within 2 months you start doing this routine.
An mri showed I have a shoulder impingement and partial tear. I've have 9 inj up to now. The last was an xray guided one and worked best. I injured my shoulders over 30 years ago using weights that were too heavy and have had problems since. I have religiously done physio but the inj has worn off and I'm in pain again. I literally can't sleep. I'm seeing the consultant next week and expect he's going to suggest to shave the joint. Tbh I'll do anything to get rid of this pain. I couldn't of done more exercise. Maybe I did too much.
Thank youu veerrry much, i have internal impingement from climbing, will this exercises help???? Thanks again, this is really beneficial for people without resources
Around a year ago I was working out in the gym and those were my first months of working out. Everything was great I loved working out and continued to watch on the internet how to build a more asthetic body. I saw a video on doing cable lateral raises so I tried them. I remeber not putting the weight alot at all but I think I felt a tear or something in my shoulder and it hurt for a few days. Then I got back to working out immediately but I didnt know it was a serious injury and I made my shoulder worse. Went to a doctor and he said to not workout for at least 6 months. Its been a year without working out and I recently went to the gym and tried some pushing exercises for chest and shoulders with light weights and I noticed that my left shoulder is weaker and it still hurts. Or when doing pushups my left shoulder is way weaker and it hurts after doing alot of reps. I dont know what to do, I also tried rotator cuff exercises before but they didnt help
Bro same situation I'm facing I had the injury almost 2 years back on the 3rd month of gym doctor said to take 2 months break but and then I joined gym again but I was having problems in the lighter weights just like yours after that I did rehab exercise again and staterd home.workout but there was not that much of progress in the physique again and again started lifting weights but the problem is same and injured my shoulder while sleeping 🥲
@@wrahulsingh5468 hi brother I am also facing same issue, if I take rest no pain but after doing momevnet again it's startee, all doctor suggest for sugery what about you have visit any doctor
I used to play club volleyball in college. I decided to start playing again, 30 years later, in a local rec league. I was feeling pretty good, but during warmups in my second game, I felt something in my shoulder when spiking the ball against the wall. I finished the game with minor discomfort, but after that, It was really sore for a week and then got gradually better, but not 100%. I still had pain when lifting things (backpack, suitcases, etc.) as well as when I raised my arm over my shoulder. No resting pain, but it still hurts in certain positions and certain ranges of motion. Two questions: 1) How do I know if it is tendonitis or a tear? 2 When should I start exercising as opposed to just doing range of motion stretches (which is what I'm doing currently)?
I had injured my shoulder in January probably during working out. MRI scan showed that there is some fluid in my shoulder and doctor diagnosed me with rotator cuff tendinosis. I have been taking therapy for about 2 months. I've gained some strength back in my shoulder but it still hurts. It's been around 6 months since my injury. I'm still unable to lift weights😢
Bro agar ek baar shoulder ko kuch hogaya toh wo itni asani se nhi jata hai mene bi injury karliya shoulder ka ac joint arthritis hogaya mera toh mri mai agaya aur doctor ne boldiya tum chordo aur maine gym bi chordiya tum samaj sakte ho gym na karne ka dukh toh proper rest do usko aur filal lifting chordo aur muje gym chore hue 3 saal hogaye bahot regret hai life mai par kya kare kuch nhi karsakte akir life chalta hi rahega
I have an inflammation in my shoulder for 8 months now. The pain was never bad and only comes after exercises like over head lifts, swimming, paddling or surfing. I stopped all those activities for the last 6 months and I am doing all the rotator cuff exercises since then. I also got a steroid shot two months ago but it’s still now back at 100%. The pain is minimal but I want it gone and go back to surfing. What can I do at this point?
Thank you for making this video Quick question other factors like lack of thoracic rotation and lat and pec flexibility also contribute to shoulder pain am i right ? And during rehab is it always better to start with mobility before strengthening?
3:39 My issue is when I do the exercise under “Reason #1”. My right shoulder feels a an acute pain when extending my arm that makes the movement very uncomfortable especially towards the end of my set. Whereas my left shoulder is completely fine. What can I do to help with that pain?
Please indulge me regarding a similar injury. Question: is it true that your long head of the bicep, 0:09 if ruptured, can/will reattach itself to a lower area on the shoulder than where it tore?
Question: should we be concerned about click/clunking during PT exercises? (MRI said I had Bursal sided supraspinatus fraying. No full-thickness tear. Subacromial bursitis. Bigliani type 2 acromion.) Feels like things are kind of getting stuck a little when trying to slide across each other. Maybe that's how the fraying occured (although did have an injury). Click/clunk is not always painful, sometimes painful later. Happens at times I move like you described at beginning (and with pushups and pullups, etc). Just found your awesome channel, subscribed!

As a therapist from what I see eventually we all get injured . It's age and wear and tear. Proper form and rest reduces rhe chances of getting hurt
Same thing happened with me. Im 50, have had shoulder pain for a last three years.

Informative as always, just about a year since I've dealt with it and all the physios that I've been to ain't been much help. Been trying this week to focus stretching and strengthening my serratus anterior and lower trapezius to see if it helps with it at all.
Hope this information helps!
@raycist1442 This should be insightful for you, good luck on the rehab mate ua-cam.com/video/_avAOohJaMQ/v-deo.html
i did surgey to my right shoulder. MRI scan showed nothing and the pain was still there. i tried many years of rehab. I wish i didn't do the surgery. they found nothing when they went inside. i did an arthroscopy. they did not cut the bicep tendon and reattached it, they just looked. they did however perform a bursectomy, i.e. removing the subacromial bursa, and the ortophedic surgeon told me that it grows back within 6-8 weeks, aka they did nothing they just looked. the rehab was going forward in the end before the surgery. i wish i never did it.
now my left shoulder is f*cked and same problem there. these tendons takes ages to heal ffs. my suggestion is to take it easy, dont ego lift, bands are really good, go through all of the function of the shoulder daily if you can, with a light band, start with a light band, progress SLOWLY to stronger resistance band color wise.
try to think that your sole purpose is to restore balance and function to the glenohumeral joint, not to increase in weights or become stronger. the weight does not matter. get some good blood circulation in there. it should feel good afterwards immediately inside the shoulder and 1-2 days after aswell. if not, then lower the resistance or eliminate painful movement patterns.
I wish you all rehabbing your shoulders the very best of luck since we are on the same boat. i also have my right knee that's damaged and needs rehab aswell. it's really sad. people who are lazy and dont lift weights and people like me, that loves to workout but can't. :( it is my fault 100%, the injuries doesn't just appear randomly. It's not a random variable, there is a reason.
Can you tell me what exercises should i do? Im in The point where i basically cant do any fast movement with my shoulders, and i need to think about every slow movement to not yell from pain
@@Kem3s take the lightest band and perform all the function of the shoulder joint, google shoulder function and movement pattern. get the external internal abduction adduction flexion extension, all movements and do some reps a couple of days a week. start there. try to feel the rotator cuff working in the scapula, if you feel the joint anteriorally stop the movement.
@@Stekaren yeah, i cant do it without band lol
@@Stekaren Would you suggest this for overuse too? I think I have biceps tendonitis manifesting as pain in the front side of the deltoid, there was no incident, it just built up due to overuse with weight lifting.
To me it makes more sense to just lay off the upper body entirely, but you may know better?
@@glacialimpala i take back what i said about the bands. i tried bands for 6 months, i saw ZERO improvement. the thing that worked for me was Mark rippetoes shoulder case study. watch his youtube video named "shoulder case study".
there are no specific exercises you can do in an event of an injury. the function of the muscle does not change if you have different exercises. try to feel as little pain as possible. if you have inflammation you will always feel some pain, a 4 in a scale from 1 to 10 is fine.
im 50% healed now writing this and what i'm doing is implementing the function of the muscles in compound lifts and training with higher reps and lower weights.
the reason i saw no improvement is because i sought to train in pain free range of motions which is practically impossible if you're rehabbing, thats why i never increased the intensity of my workouts
i would suggest you train pronated/supinated lat pulldown and rehab your biceps in back exercises. you get good amount of biceps there and you can increase the load slowly as the back is taking most of the lift and not your biceps directly. start with a really low weight and aim to do 3-5 sets 8-12 reps. If it feels good the day after, you keep the same weight for another session. if the same weight feels good the second session, you increment the weights with 2.5 kg (approx 5lbs) next week. you keep doing this linear progression slowly and your tendons will get stronger and heal.
you want to directly train the tendon you've injured or it will never get better alone. as you've mentioned; resting does not make a tendonitis go away. you need movement and the faster you start, the better the results.
you might want to start with low weights on the lat machine pulldown and lower the range of motion initially. good luck bro.
avoid stretching statically when you're injured. do NOT stretch at all. i would not stretch.
I cannot recommend you to follow this. Im just saying this is what i would have done in your case.

leaving a comment for the algorithm. so well put together 🙏🏽
Great video, concise, straight forward and informative. Thanks!
~Thank you sooooo-much...having pain w/ impenged shoulder. But will not give up & looking forward to these exercises. Subscribed & happy
Best shoulder rehab video I’ve seen. Thank you!
If you a have messed up shoulder, always go for screening and then visit a doctor and rehab only after a certain period of time not like within 2 months you start doing this routine.
Thank you for your explanation and showing exercises
Great explanation. Learned a lot
Can these excersises be performed as a warmup in order to protect yor shoulders from injuries???
Great video ! It helps my injured client
Thank you for your help,God bless you
An mri showed I have a shoulder impingement and partial tear. I've have 9 inj up to now. The last was an xray guided one and worked best. I injured my shoulders over 30 years ago using weights that were too heavy and have had problems since. I have religiously done physio but the inj has worn off and I'm in pain again. I literally can't sleep. I'm seeing the consultant next week and expect he's going to suggest to shave the joint. Tbh I'll do anything to get rid of this pain. I couldn't of done more exercise. Maybe I did too much.
the best video om YT❤
Hi, great video and very helpful shoulder rehab. What do you think about trigger points?
Thank youu veerrry much, i have internal impingement from climbing, will this exercises help???? Thanks again, this is really beneficial for people without resources
Thank your for the video, I love this channel! Would you recommend passive deadhangs in this situation?
What brand machine are you using when doing the standing weighted exercises?
The skull pulls are really good.
Around a year ago I was working out in the gym and those were my first months of working out. Everything was great I loved working out and continued to watch on the internet how to build a more asthetic body. I saw a video on doing cable lateral raises so I tried them. I remeber not putting the weight alot at all but I think I felt a tear or something in my shoulder and it hurt for a few days. Then I got back to working out immediately but I didnt know it was a serious injury and I made my shoulder worse. Went to a doctor and he said to not workout for at least 6 months. Its been a year without working out and I recently went to the gym and tried some pushing exercises for chest and shoulders with light weights and I noticed that my left shoulder is weaker and it still hurts. Or when doing pushups my left shoulder is way weaker and it hurts after doing alot of reps. I dont know what to do, I also tried rotator cuff exercises before but they didnt help
Bro same situation I'm facing I had the injury almost 2 years back on the 3rd month of gym doctor said to take 2 months break but and then I joined gym again but I was having problems in the lighter weights just like yours after that I did rehab exercise again and staterd home.workout but there was not that much of progress in the physique again and again started lifting weights but the problem is same and injured my shoulder while sleeping 🥲
@@wrahulsingh5468 hi brother I am also facing same issue, if I take rest no pain but after doing momevnet again it's startee, all doctor suggest for sugery what about you have visit any doctor
Thank you for such a comprehensive video!
Thanks so much for such great content! I really needed it!
I used to play club volleyball in college. I decided to start playing again, 30 years later, in a local rec league. I was feeling pretty good, but during warmups in my second game, I felt something in my shoulder when spiking the ball against the wall. I finished the game with minor discomfort, but after that, It was really sore for a week and then got gradually better, but not 100%. I still had pain when lifting things (backpack, suitcases, etc.) as well as when I raised my arm over my shoulder. No resting pain, but it still hurts in certain positions and certain ranges of motion.
Two questions:
1) How do I know if it is tendonitis or a tear?
2 When should I start exercising as opposed to just doing range of motion stretches (which is what I'm doing currently)?
Thanks! My doctor said if these work, I won't have to go for expensive physical therapy.
Does an injury like this ever go away??
Or do we have to live with it ??
Mines been getting better but very very slow
But there’s hope 🙏🏽
Türkçe alt yazı olsa keşke 2 yıldır bitmeyen ağrı çekiyorum bunları deneyeceğim teşekkürler
Should I do these exercises before or after my workout or a separate day?
Very informative great video
I had injured my shoulder in January probably during working out. MRI scan showed that there is some fluid in my shoulder and doctor diagnosed me with rotator cuff tendinosis. I have been taking therapy for about 2 months. I've gained some strength back in my shoulder but it still hurts. It's been around 6 months since my injury. I'm still unable to lift weights😢
Bro agar ek baar shoulder ko kuch hogaya toh wo itni asani se nhi jata hai mene bi injury karliya shoulder ka ac joint arthritis hogaya mera toh mri mai agaya aur doctor ne boldiya tum chordo aur maine gym bi chordiya tum samaj sakte ho gym na karne ka dukh toh proper rest do usko aur filal lifting chordo aur muje gym chore hue 3 saal hogaye bahot regret hai life mai par kya kare kuch nhi karsakte akir life chalta hi rahega
Same here, brother I’m going on like seven months. I can feel it go up into my neck and everything.
when should i do the rehab exercise? before or after my workout?
Absolutely amazing video. Definitely the best rotator cuff therapy video I have seen.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are trully helping me!
Whilst undergoing therapy and doing these rotator cuff exercises, can I still go back to lifting in the gym or wait it out for the next 3months ?
Good doctor and super rehab💪🏻💪🏻
This is so flippin good
Make a video about Osgood schlatters plssss man I need it to go back hooping pain free
Extremely informative, thank you
amazing vid as always. so much information and literally hit the spot!! thank you
Great video…. Thanks for sharing
this video is so great
Thank you so much
I have rotator cuff tendinitis and I’m doing the best exercises for this but who knows how long it take to heal and relive my pain
I have an inflammation in my shoulder for 8 months now. The pain was never bad and only comes after exercises like over head lifts, swimming, paddling or surfing. I stopped all those activities for the last 6 months and I am doing all the rotator cuff exercises since then. I also got a steroid shot two months ago but it’s still now back at 100%.
The pain is minimal but I want it gone and go back to surfing. What can I do at this point?
Sir before start thiss exercise we can consultant from physio??
You are marvellous
Excellent video. Does the level of discomfort, while training, extend to feeling numbness in my fingers?
You probably have a pinched nerve
Thank you for making this video
Quick question other factors like lack of thoracic rotation and lat and pec flexibility also contribute to shoulder pain am i right ? And during rehab is it always better to start with mobility before strengthening?
Do you have a video for category #2 unstable shoulder ?
Can you talk with us about biceps dislocation Rehab and if can i go to gym again
Beautifully crafted video!
Based on your experience, what do you think about manual therapy (MWM) for cases of shoulder pain?
3:39 My issue is when I do the exercise under “Reason #1”. My right shoulder feels a an acute pain when extending my arm that makes the movement very uncomfortable especially towards the end of my set. Whereas my left shoulder is completely fine. What can I do to help with that pain?
Please indulge me regarding a similar injury. Question: is it true that your long head of the bicep, 0:09 if ruptured, can/will reattach itself to a lower area on the shoulder than where it tore?
Top notch guidance/recommendations - useful for my sore shoulders.
Very informative, thank you!!
Thanks for the info
Question: should we be concerned about click/clunking during PT exercises? (MRI said I had Bursal sided supraspinatus fraying. No full-thickness tear. Subacromial bursitis. Bigliani type 2 acromion.) Feels like things are kind of getting stuck a little when trying to slide across each other. Maybe that's how the fraying occured (although did have an injury). Click/clunk is not always painful, sometimes painful later. Happens at times I move like you described at beginning (and with pushups and pullups, etc). Just found your awesome channel, subscribed!
Many of the exercises here really hurt my shoulder, where it catches at a particular point. I am confused about whether I should proceed
