This video was prescribed to me by my doctor, who does it himself regularly. I'll soon be 80 and am female, so it's not just for the fit and young! I'm not on the floor with it yet. I'm using a slant board and sometimes sitting on the side of the bed to protect my problemed, worn out lower back. I have other exercises for that.
@@ammaarkarim6541 I'm sorry for the late response. The notifications went in my junk file. Yes, I'm hanging in there. Just had my 82 birthday and with the exception of occasional bought with my knees, I'm doing fine. Went back to my vegan diet in May so weight and all bloodwork is now normal. I just might make it another 10 years!
In one month, this tutorial pretty much cured a 4 or 5 month-old case of shoulder pain, and in only a week or two, it got rid of all the scary noises coming from my shoulder. Some of the pain relief came even faster than that- within the first couple of workouts. Thank you, FitnessFAQs!
I've had a an injury in my shoulder for the past 6 months, and I found out that my supraspinatus had been affected, I was prescribed the Y, T, and W by the physio and there's been remarkable improvement. I really vouch for this exercise, and as always, you've done a great job at breaking it all down, thank you for a yet another insightful video.
@@torrecampo411i felt that the same brother, also the left one, with time it will get better, I follow this routine every other day, usually in the evening
Just attempted my first weighted dips today, and I managed to do 4 reps with 15.5 kg. No doubt you have been a major help and inspiration to me in reaching this goal. Thanks for everything you do Daniel :)
i unknowingly started doing these exercises a few weeks back. and the control of the scapula, once youve gained it, feels amazing. thanks for this. im doing something right.
WOW!!! I NEEDED This information! I had shoulder surgery a couple of months ago, to fix several torn ligaments, (from cumulative martial arts injuries, from decades ago), and I just recently have begun restoring my mobility thru Physical Therapy. Now, I need to work on building back my strength, plus! So, These exercises look like they're very important, and are explained, and demonstrated nicely, here! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again Daniel. Your videos and advice are slowly changing my life. I am an older guy but by correctly doing the exercises first time around and keeping that behavior, has really been a great benefit. My shoulders have really grown in size thanks to you. I particularly like this new circuit demonstrated today. I will start implementing it today.
Solid video dude! Been searching for this kind of video for a few months now since my back is in so much pain from imbalances. I found pre workout a few years ago and got massive gains from it. Now I have oodles of nerve pain. Loved how this video was all explained with technical terms yet plain enough for the laymen to follow.
Looks easy on the vid. Now here I am almost dripping with sweat. Those shoulders feel way better now though. Making this along with lower back strengthening routine my morning "energizer." Thanks a lot, Daniel. I'm a new subscriber that started working out just a tad over 3 months ago. Your content proves to be of quality.
Thank you so much brother! I'm in a intensive stuntman program in Hong Kong at the moment and have been having trouble with my rotator cuff. These exercises really saved me! Very much appreciated🙏
Started doing these after 2 months on crutches aggravated an old MTB shoulder injury. Definitely helping, along with several of Fitness FAQ's other hints & tips! Thanks Dan!
This is excellent -- struggling with a lot of scapular immobility. Since I am a psychotherapist/psychiatrist so I sit all day long. Been lifting heavier and heavier weights lately and shoulder immobility is my limiting factor so definitely going to start doing these. Super helpful that you say how often and how much because others often miss that crucial part when describing PT type exercises. Big thumbs up!
Just tried this - a great warm up routine before hitting the rings. At 57 years old I find slow controlled movements the most beneficial and productive workouts. Thank you for posting.
Dude, thank you so much for sharing these. These exercises are one of the few things that have helped my shoulders, and it has helped them tremendously.
Thanks for putting this together and going over it in calm detail. It's very relevant for me in particular as after an injury my left scapula is in poor shape. Cheers from the UK.
Thank you!!! These are absolutely great exercises... I can feel them helping my shoulders and increasing mobility and strength. Your channel is great! Thorough and intelligent advice and the demonstrations combined with your comments are awesome. Thanks again! it's a godsend.
Can you tell us a little more about it, I don't need surgery, but I have jacked up joints due to 15 years in the Army. And I don't want to take 42 y/o for an answer.
Awesome vid man. Thanks for that, my vet bros and myself have all been struggling with getting back to working out after shoulder injuries, due to working out in the past without knowing/using proper techniques. This will be Very helpful, I'm going to show them all this video.
A highly underrated channel. This should have hundreds of thousands of subs. Great work FitnessFAQs my husband & I are new followers. Keep up the great work. Even better to watch a fellow Australian setting the pace.
0:44-Y 1:40-T 2:10-W 2:46-L Set scaplular 1st then move arms backwards 3:40-set the lower back- posterior pelvic tilt And don't shrug too much as a way to compensate Perfect technique and short of failure 2-3 a week ,1-2 sets ,8-10 reps One at a time and not in a fatigue state rest adequatly(1-2 mins) Training that inner range of motion
great addition to my rehab routine- thank you very much! every time I pinch a nerve it tends to be between t3, t4 or t5, usually from my upper traps over-compensating. The physio would have me doing the archer (drawing the bow, while lying on the side; alternate sides), the cobra (stomach down, back taut, pull nose & shoulders away from the floor) and then lying flat to the floor, towel in one hand, wrapped around a foot, using the leg to slowly pull the arm down and stretch the traps out.
I have never heard or seen a perfect definition of posterior pelvic tilt until I saw you face down on the floor and having your belly button lifted off the floor !! Thank you.
I tend to use bands, stretching, and body weight movements for rehab exercises. Great tutorial. I feel like these excercises would benefit me for my shoulder health. Rehabbed an injury years ago but it still comes back with pain from time to time. I'll definitely give these a try. Thank you 🙏
Great Break Down Exsplaining the Exercises!! Can't wait to try this and check out the other videos! I need this in my life, due to I struggle with shoulder issues, thanks 🙏🏾 for the video
this is right up my alley am looking for exercises that could protect and stabilize my shoulder from future injury. i had an anterior shoulder dislocation, would love to see some videos covering how to prevent that from happening again.
I immeadiately felt much better in my shoulders after this routine! I've been having slight pain in my left shoulder and it felt better straight after this. Thank you for these good tips =)
Great video. I’ve been in PT for months, but my recovery has been slow. Right shoulder impingement. Your video provides great examples for rehabbing a shoulder.
Have had rotator cuff problems in the past and have had a little a success strengthening my rotoator cuffs via light weights, look forward to giving this a go.
My right shoulder suffers from bicep tendonitis and stiffness from a separated AC joint. Would love to see another shoulder video that addresses these!
Excellent advice! I'm trying to recover from upper crossed syndrome, and its been a bit hard seeing as how my physio clinic has been closed due to the lockdown. This video was truly helpful. I'm sub'ed! Thank you!
Hope your channel will grow! I will do what i can, because this is very good. Your a perfect idol. You've done the work and so well, and you also have the knowledge. Having been with a lot of physiotherapists iv often felt a disconnect. Someone knowing something compared to someone knowing, have experienced and achieved trough hard work is something else entirely! Thanks
I'm trying to work shoulder circumduction into my routine, both with tension pulling away from the joint and tension towards the joint. I did Y T W L in the military. They are good exercises and it's nice to have the reminder that they are out there.
I like how you broke it down into 4 movements, hardest to easiest in terms of scapular control. Great for warm up upper body days, even with chest and arms to maximise stability and increase gains. I like to add some isometric holds in inner range for more neuromuscular control/mind-muscle connection. I think I will try using these as a progression for shoulder rehab patients as well.
