I've had excruciating shoulder/neck pain for a few days now that had brought this grown ass man to the edge of tears. Was waiting to call my doc on Monday with expectations of surgery in my future... did the first stretch you demonstrated and 90% of the pain was gone instantly.... now I just feel dumb. Will be doing these stretches daily, can't thank you enough.
Hey, don't be hard on yourself, we are taught to not give self care, to only use big phama. Be proud that you found them and have empowered yourself. This is my go to when any part of my body gets an issue. Stretching brings lubrication to the joints, so every little joint needs to be tugged on stretched, pulled and rotated, ESPECIALLY TOES AND FINGERS.
😭 Thanks Bob for being in this video and sharing your 3 points! It’s sooo good to see and hear you. I hope you realize how loved and appreciated you are. You and Brad will always be the most famous physical therapists on the internet! 😊 Both you and Brad had a wonderful balance of great information mixed with delightful sense of humor 😂 No one could ever fill your shoes, Bob.

Guys I have had a extremely painful shoulder for 9 months, tried all kinds of things, took many pain killers and rub on ointment, I just happened across your video and thought ok I will give it a go, in one day the pain has gone away, the first time in 9 months, thank you thank you thank you, I cant say thank you enough, you guys have improved my quality of life, may it last long. Keep up the good work. thank you.

@@MAN9027 I really did mate. Every so often I get a glimmer of impingement again and then I start with the exercises, I cant tell you how much its helped me
Shoulder pain was about a 7 when lifting arm straight up forwards, did this before bed, woke up and the pain is now down to a 2 and I can lift my arm over my head, thanks guys.👍👏
I have had been suffering shoulder pain and restricted movement for a few months now. By the end of this video it was gone. This is amazing! Thank you so much.
I have been suffering with bursitis in my right shoulder for the last year. I'm so relieved to know that I can fix this problem without having to have surgery. Thanks Bob & Brad for all you do. I really appreciate your videos and your humor. You guys really crack me up. 😄
andyvee that’s a cop out. There’s tonnes of fields a doctor can be in, they are taught in medical school how to refer patients when it’s outside their scope and they are also encouraged to always do CPD (in UK) if a doctor didn’t have the answer there’s no reason they couldn’t help their patient find it and prevent years of suffering.
Thank you so much for doing these!! I've had minor pain for months that increase dramatically in the past week. I've done these exercises for two days and the pain is almost gone!!! Thank you!!!
Ive been battling shoulder pain for a few months now. I started doing some of these exercises along with the video and got immediate relief, thanks a million 😎
As a yoga teacher recovering from rotator cuff surgery 7 months ago I developed tendonitis in same shoulder. I incorporate all these movements in my yoga postures Love these two ! They are entertaining and this helps in remembering the stretches ! I use a Sobakawa pillow … a few of these are super helpful for resting at night
I spent 5 months in rehab for a torn rotator cuff. 3 days a week. It never got any better. Then I started haning from a tree limb every day. Finally my shoulder is healing. Hanging is the best thing. It doesn't hurt. It takes a few months of doing it every day, but it works.
Love you guys! I'm a LPTA and I still watch your videos and refer my patients to watch. I love that you explain basic anatomy and the reasoning behind each exercise. Thanks for all you do!
You’re not gonna believe this, I’ve been dealing with a lot of pain in my right shoulder for the last month due to overuse and probably a poor posture when sitting at my desk. I did the very first posture exercise by pulling your shoulders together you mentioned and the pain disappeared about 50% after doing just one set of those exercises. After doing the same exercise a second time the pain was completely gone!!! I just gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Next I’d like to see some thing for the IT band. You’ve probably already done one so I’ll have to do a search. Thanks again you guys are incredible.
I’ve been a group fitness teacher and amateur athlete for 38 years, have had all the injuries- knee pain, plantar fasciitis, ilialtibial band syndrome, bicep tendon injury, sciatica, grade 3 ankle sprains, and debilitating neck pain- as a result I’ve been through A LOT of PT- Bob and Brad are showing you the real rehab cures- they are the real deal!!!
You saved me from too much medicine and dollars spent at a doctor. I went to a chiropractor holding my arm over my head because it was the only relief from my nerve pain. They did help but with a bill of several thousands of dollars. My coracobrachialis was impinged and I was told surgery was in my future. I also found relief from pain in my left shoulder blade from that thumb under the armpit technique (not painless) but definitely relieved the problem! Understanding our bodies is what you guys bring! Thanks!
You guys are awesome. Just started some of these shoulder stretches yesterday on my shoulder which has been killing me for weeks, and I already feel the difference! Thank you!
Great guys thank you. Diagnosed with impingement and only four days into your exercises a d I've already recovered full range of motion and the pain is almost all gone!
You explained to me everything I need to know. My problem was sleeping on my shoulder. The stretches that you showed made a world of difference. I have been in pain for over a week. Now that I have watched you, my shoulder feels so much better. Thank you guys. Love the humor.
As an orthopedic massage therapist I find a lot of my construction working patients deal with this same trouble because of their body mechanics at work which of course is hard to manage. I try to encourage them to sit back every 15 minutes and roll their shoulders back and stretch out their arms to open the chest muscles to take tension out so the shoulders can go back into better alignment. I get so much out of watching your videos that help me in my practice! Thank you thank you thank you.
I have osteoarthritis in my shoulder, elbow, wrist and hips ... The shoulder arthritis makes my shoulder feel like it's dislocated and my partner has to do physio on it to click it in place.. when I'm in pain with it no meds help only clicking in place does .. and I'm on morphine, pregabalin, paracetamol and ibuprofen... I'm in a no win situation because I can't sleep on my back and due to my hips I have to alternate sides so end up sleeping on my bad shoulder
Thank you so much for your video. My husband just had a double lung transplant and just prior to it he was very ill. I had developed arm pain-that moved up to my shoulder but didn’t feel I had the time to get it checked out. In December while my husband was hospitalized it got significantly worse. I started searching u tube videos and came across yours. In no time at all it started to get better doing these exercises. The pain is pretty much gone and I continue to do these exercises. No Tylenol for a full 48 hrs now. . I can’t thank you enough. Happy New Year.
Thank You So Much for posting this video, my right shoulder has been hurting so bad. I’m starting this steps and procedures and I am feeling immediate relief. Thanks again! God Bless you guy’s for helping people. 🥰👍👏👏👏👏👏😊
This is perfect for what I need. I discovered if I walk and stand with my hands in my pocket my shoulders pull back and I stand up straight. It's so soothing. I also like to stand straight with my back against the corner of two walls. The corner sits between my two shoulder blades and allows me to stand up straight without discomfort. You two are awesome. Thanks so much!
I have been struggling with really serious shoulder pain for decades and seeing this gives me hope that I can do something to relieve these terrible pains I get when least expected. People who have witnessed these attacks think I am having a heart attack. I have saved this video for reference. Thanks , I hope.
I just want to hug you guys! You make me laugh at your playfulness, which I love, and have TRULY helped me with my painful impinged shoulder from a fall. I don’t have to hurt in other places to want to watch you here and learn great stuff. It’s priceless that you clearly give helpful do_it_yourself therapy instructions and help understand / show why and how it works. You really ARE the greatest! Take a bow !
this video is now going to be my home page!! thank you guys so much, truly a great service you are giving for the history of mankind. May the Lord Jesus bless your souls!
OMG! Thank you!! Thank you!! THANK YOU!! I've had this shoulder pain for at least 3 weeks now. Would not go away. After doing your Mulligan technique ... the pain has eased! I feel like crying from relief. It's not all gone yet but it's NOT hurting constantly like before. I subscribed!
My right shoulder has always been painful on and off for many years, much of it is when I go to bed. I sleep with my arm raised above my head or the pain is bad. My doc said I have tendonitis and some damage from RA. I am going to do these exercises, thanks for being so helpful!
I’m 32 years old and have been having physiotherapy and osteopathy on my shoulder on and off since I was 17. I had an MRI scan around 3 years ago that just showed inflamed tendons and the surgeon wasn’t keen to open it up and take a closer look for fear of it being a fruitless endeavour. I’m very athletic and this evening had some pain in the usual place and discovered this video. I’ve gone to bed with no pain and will pray for a good workout tomorrow with no issues. Brilliant exercises! Thanks guys.
Thank you guys. For saving both my shoulders, you are a life savers. I pulled both my shoulders some years ago, from lifting something, it has been bothering me for years, I tried everything, and almost preparing for surgery till I came across your channel. By just listening to your techniques, I have been heeled completely, by following your instructions. Thanks for your advice, you can use my testimony if you want. You can use me for anything, I can't thank you enough. God bless.
i think they are great, ive also used some of their methods. but i can also recommend you the youtube channel : SpineCare Decompression and Chiropractic Center. i find that they have a bit more advanced methods.
060222/0530h PST 🇺🇸 Dear people, I thank you very much for exhibiting the simple method of alleviating the shoulder pain. I paused the video @3 mts and performed the two simple techniques and to my amazement; the right shoulder pain just vanished for good. I don’t know how to thank you 🙏🏽 Bless you, guys. I will continue the same procedure henceforth to maintain the correction. Thanks again and stay safe.
You 2 are great. None of the therapy you showed was done when my Dr. had me do therapy. I did the ones you shown, and started having relief in less than 1 day!! Still working on my shoulder and getting more mobility and much less pain. It also is helping with my positioning stability when welding. Upside down or down side up and running 2 - 3 feet of cap weld. Thank you so much. P.S. The therapy was 8 years ago and focused on mainly push through the pain, it resulted in making it worse.
You guys are the best! I couldn’t raise my hand behind my back for almost a year. So at the start of the pandemic I tried your home therapy. After 1 week, hey got some mobility. 2 wks, more motion. 3wks, could reach middle back again! You diminished my impingement pain with 3 weeks of daily at home exercises! Thanks for keeping it real!
This video saved my shoulder. I had impingement from too much of the wrong exercise without the right stretches. I still do your stretches multiple times a week. I am a physician and refer many of my patients to your channel. I hope Bob is handling his challenges without too much difficulty. He should take solace in knowing that his Bob and Brad videos are still helping many people. You guys also helped save my back.
At the two minute mark of this video, you solved a thirty-year mystery for me. My randomly occurring shoulder bursitis is now understood and can be prevented. That will be a massive reduction in intense pain for me. This is the most important UA-cam video I have ever seen! Thank you!
This is great info. I had a frozen shoulder several years ago and exercised and stretched my way out of it myself. Occasionally I start to have some shoulder pain again and I do some exercises. These stretches are the best way to prevent the pain !
Thank you, thank you! Shoulder pain of 10 years is much improved and gets better every day thanks to your videos! Also a new pain in my inner knee is now GONE! I am so amazed and grateful to y’all!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. I SUFFER FROM SHOULDER PAIN AFTER WORKOUT FOR 3 MONTHS NOW. AFTER TRAILS OF MEDICATIONS AND TWO NORMAL X-RAYS WITHOUT ANY IMPROVEMENT. I TRIED OUT YOIUR EXCERCISE TIPS THREE TIMES, NOW I AM 90% BETTER.
Wanted to say thank you! I had shoulder pain for about 2 weeks from lifting weights. Got to the point I had to stop. Started searching for stretches and how to fix the problem and this video hit the spot. 2 days of these stretches/moves, 3 times a day helped me get back into the gym pain free. Thank you!
Have recently had sudden mysterious shoulder pain for about two months on left side! Was thinking of a doctor visit! Have had trouble sleeping waking up a lot and being more sore afterwards too! But seeing Bob & Brad's video on shoulder pain no doubt this is what I'm going through! This being Dec. 8th 2021 will do all the routines and reply in a few weeks with results!
I didn't know about this until today. I'll try it too. Usually when my shoulder gets to hurting. I do shoulder presses with very light weight. Soups cans at first. That's helped me a lot, but today I think posture might be part of the problem.
I'm also having a major dull ache on left side ...from shoulder down to my hand. Sooooo painful! Had rotator cuff surgery 5 years ago...hoping you guys can help me with this!
@@margaretbrennan2089 I had similar pain, my doctor had me hold my arm out front then twist my fist clockwise. The pain shot from my shoulder to elbow. She said, tendonitis.
@@robbyddurham1624 ...Thanks so much for your response Robert. The pain has been unbearable! Made me cry! I'm a strong woman but had several falls, dislocated my artificial hip in 2020 and, sadly, my body is wracked in pain most days! I'm definitely going to follow through with exercise and physical therapy. My internet research also diagnosed it as tendinitis! Good luck. May you have less pain.
Suffered left shoulder pains for a few years, before you came around. Stopped smoking and suddenly the pain disappeared to never come back again. Thought of it for years, until like a flash there and then discovered the reason. On my way to work every morning I lit a cigarette and rolled my window down to let the smoke out. The cold air especially hitting my left shoulder was definitely the cause for my sometime excruciating pain. Very strange, but true.
@bina nocht : Except that cell phones emit microwaves and they can penetrate farther than they thought was possible. Don't travel around with your phone in your pocket.
Thank You Thank You Thank You. I just suddenly started having this issue out of the blue. Unable to sleep on my shoulder, can't raise my arm up high or hold onto objects - glass from the cabinet. Now, my shoulder feels a thousand times better. Fantastic information 👌
I 13:21 I have had so much pain and I have had a cortisone injection Bob and Brad helped me years ago with their videos to help with my tennis elbow Now I am going to try these exercises to help my chronic neck and shoulder pain I’m so grateful to have these videos to follow
These exercises have been amazing....I have been doing the standard stretches for 4 very painful months....your advice has brought me back to my fighting form....thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🙋♂️
It's insane that I suffered long term shoulder pain and restricted rotation in my shoulder just because I didn't understand the mechanics of my own body! Doing these exercises for the first time watching this video, and I already have 50% improvement in movement.
@Enhanced-Atrophy I did follow the protocol. However, the initial relief was not long lasting. After about a month something else tightened up, and I haven't worked that out yet.
I had trigger finger on my left hand. It was painful and pretty severe. I tried acupuncture with no real relief then I started researching other treatments. Finally, I came across a doctor that treated trigger finger with shoulder therapy. His assertion was that the tightening of tendons in the hands actually begins in the shoulder area. I started doing yoga and Tai chi exercises that emphasized arm stretching. Miraculously, my finger started to release within 7 days, and within 2-3 weeks it was completely gone! Now, anytime I feel that same tightening coming on, I do those stretches. I know I should stretch daily to keep it from coming back, but I just wanted to extoll the benefits of what is being presented here. Stretching the whole body is probably one of the best things you can do for overall health!
B & B. I have had shoulder pain for 5 years. When I used your Mulligan technique, and applied significant down pressure to the chair, my remaining pain went away. Thank you.
My husband does the “canal pillows”. You wouldn’t believe how many others we meet with shoulder pain and he shares it with all of them. Great success. He was really suffering.
That's CRAZY!! I've had really bad left shoulder pain for about the past 2 months. After watching your video it was pretty obvious that my problem is impingement. I tried your exercises for that and it is about 80% better IN 1 DAY!!! NO KIDDING!!! It's unbelievable!!! Thanks guys!!! 💪👈
HOLY 💩 ‼️‼️ I can’t believe it‼️‼️‼️ it’s been a LONG WHILE, then after using your method 💨 GONE‼️ INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF ‼️‼️ Feeling some pain with the belt method, so I’ll avoid that while I repeatedly use the other techniques. Then I’ll give it a go; again. TGANK YOU‼️🙌🏼
Thank you for the visual explanation at the beginning of the video showing the tendon in the shoulder being pinched and for all of the helpful exercises. You guys are great!
Wow. Just came across this video and it's helping already. For the past week or more my right shoulder has been extremely painful. With just doing a few of these exercises it's much better. Will continue with the exercises. Thank you so much!
45 years old, I injured my shoulder wrestling 27 years ago, I have had real pain since then, I was convinced an operation was my only solution, I started streatching and working out as a last ditch effort of desperation (convinced it wouldn’t work) the chair trick worked almost instantly, I wish I knew this earlier in life, but my 18 year old self didn’t take the therapy seriously… I am still making an appointment with a local therapist to see what else I can do. Thank You guys!
After 24 years in acute care, cardiopulmonary, neuro and trauma setting, I am entering into the outpatient world again! Easing back in to outpatient is scary, so I am thankful for you guys because your videos are PRICELESS! I have a good, strong fitness background so it is helping my transition and you guys are phenomenal. Thanks!!
Physical Therapy Video thank you. It was A LONG DAY...I’m thankful for the video, I’m also thankful for clothed patients!!! Coming from inpatient setting primarily...I never get the uncensored view!! Yesterday was awesome!!! (Minus the documentation) :) I’m gonna keep watching your videos!
woww.. i just found yall today... thanks soooooo much.. doc johnny.. i think you saved my life and shoulder.. ive been looking for 40 years... blessings..really
I am a senior citizen ( can’t believe I admitted it) with arthritis & loss of bone density, and degenerative discs in my back. Lately I’ve experienced left shoulder pain & occasional points of lifting my arm with an inability to lift it further. I stumbled onto your video & tried some exercises in my chair along with you. What a great system to obtain greater ROM & lessen pain. Thank you! Now I have to go to your videos & find any for low back & hip pain.❤️
I have ALL of these ailments and this morning I couldn’t even lift my shoulder. After doing a few of these exercises, I am able to lift my shoulder! Almost pain-free! I am saving this video! Thanks you guys!!
I injured my shoulder boxing in 2009. One reason I never went back was because the confidence of not having my shoulder healed. Had X-rays, mri, physical therapy and went to a chiropractor and none of them knew what was wrong or how heal me. I been doing these for a week n I feel progress. Thank you 🙏🏽 Big Blessings
Thanks guys! I have problems with my left shoulder and the exercises you showed makes more sense than what my physical therapist(s) did 5 years ago. What they had me doing caused pain.
You two saved me when I had acute shoulder pain in the night but unable to take pain meds due to an upcoming medical procedure. The exercises allowed me to finally sleep! Thank you!
I Always enjoy your videos. Many time my elderly patients or clients with long term problems need a less painful place to start. It's helpful to start them by disengaging postural muscles so they can focus on phasic muscles when beginning rehab, especially in and around the shoulder capsule. Proprioception can work for us or against us. I will usually have a patient lay down to disengage the postural muscles and teach them their first exercises while laying on their back.
I’ll share these videos to those who need the wisdom from you two! In fact, I know many people that have shoulder issues and it’s really sad. As we all know, the body is made to move and we get stuck in their ways and then get injuries…
Might want to also address the primary cause. Sleeping on your shoulder, putting 8 hours of pressure on the joint. If overweight you should be even more careful. If pain is constant and has been there for a long time, for immediate relief, sleep on your back on a flat place, even the floor, with something under you that does Not reach all the way to the outer edge of the shoulder. A narrow camp pad or the like will do. This gives the shoulder joint the chance to move anteriorly by gravity and relive the pressure. One night will bring relief and two nights of this will bring amazing results. As a side sleeper, take your usual position and "unfold" just enough to take the weight off that shoulder. It's a very small movement, not enough to unbalance you, but takes all the pressure off the joint and allows it to heal or not cause the problem in the first place.
Thank you so much. I have been doing 3 exercises set by a physio for 2 months, with little improvement and I was beginning to feel as the arm was getting weaker. Now that I’ve added in your suggestions (door frame, push down walk back, the stick) after two days I have increased mobility. Thank you 🙏😘
OMG! I've been suffering with pain since June 2022 - that's 10 months. I've been to rehabilitation and muscle therapy and nothing worked. I do the Milligan technique a few times and the pain went away like 95%. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
OK. So I tweaked my shoulder last week while bench pressing and was still having a good bit of discomfort yesterday-6 days later. Then I came across this, did the first 3 exercises for a few sets and still felt discomfort throughout the day. However, when I woke up this morning there was virtually no pain at all. What an incredible improvement! Thanks Bob & Brad

You explained to me everything I need to know. My problem was sleeping on my shoulder. The stretches that you showed made a world of difference. I have been in pain for over a week. Now that I have watched you, my shoulder feels so much better. Thank you guys. Love the humor.
I used to sleep on my shoulders to and know the it causes.
Dealing with same thing 🤦🏿♂️

As an orthopedic massage therapist I find a lot of my construction working patients deal with this same trouble because of their body mechanics at work which of course is hard to manage. I try to encourage them to sit back every 15 minutes and roll their shoulders back and stretch out their arms to open the chest muscles to take tension out so the shoulders can go back into better alignment.
I get so much out of watching your videos that help me in my practice! Thank you thank you thank you.
I have osteoarthritis in my shoulder, elbow, wrist and hips ... The shoulder arthritis makes my shoulder feel like it's dislocated and my partner has to do physio on it to click it in place.. when I'm in pain with it no meds help only clicking in place does .. and I'm on morphine, pregabalin, paracetamol and ibuprofen... I'm in a no win situation because I can't sleep on my back and due to my hips I have to alternate sides so end up sleeping on my bad shoulder

Thank you so much for your video. My husband just had a double lung transplant and just prior to it he was very ill. I had developed arm pain-that moved up to my shoulder but didn’t feel I had the time to get it checked out. In December while my husband was hospitalized it got significantly worse. I started searching u tube videos and came across yours. In no time at all it started to get better doing these exercises. The pain is pretty much gone and I continue to do these exercises. No Tylenol for a full 48 hrs now. . I can’t thank you enough. Happy New Year.
I'm watching these guys from now on. This is pure gold. Thanks to Bob and Brad
Thank You So Much for posting this video, my right shoulder has been hurting so bad. I’m starting this steps and procedures and I am feeling immediate relief. Thanks again! God Bless you guy’s for helping people. 🥰👍👏👏👏👏👏😊
This is perfect for what I need. I discovered if I walk and stand with my hands in my pocket my shoulders pull back and I stand up straight. It's so soothing. I also like to stand straight with my back against the corner of two walls. The corner sits between my two shoulder blades and allows me to stand up straight without discomfort. You two are awesome. Thanks so much!
My friend nagged me for years about my posture. Now I'm paying for it with Tendonitis. This seems so basic and makes so much sense. Thank you.
So true. I am watching this as I am looking for relief from excruciating pain caused by tendonitis.
Iam suffering too 3 surgeries in 7 yrs .i now sit down with back straight and boobs out same when i walk it helps a bit
B&B your shows are absolutely timeless thank you so much!
I have been struggling with really serious shoulder pain for decades and seeing this gives me hope that I can do something to relieve these terrible pains I get when least expected. People who have witnessed these attacks think I am having a heart attack. I have saved this video for reference. Thanks , I hope.
The exercises in this video helped stop 3 months of shoulder pain. Thank you so much!!
I just want to hug you guys! You make me laugh at your playfulness, which I love, and have TRULY helped me with my painful impinged shoulder from a fall. I don’t have to hurt in other places to want to watch you here and learn great stuff. It’s priceless that you clearly give helpful do_it_yourself therapy instructions and help understand / show why and how it works.
You really ARE the greatest! Take a bow !
this video is now going to be my home page!! thank you guys so much, truly a great service you are giving for the history of mankind. May the Lord Jesus bless your souls!
I got a real bad pain in my shoulder today and the first thing I did was look you two up. And boy did you help me. Thank you thank you so very much.
OMG! Thank you!! Thank you!! THANK YOU!! I've had this shoulder pain for at least 3 weeks now. Would not go away. After doing your Mulligan technique ... the pain has eased! I feel like crying from relief. It's not all gone yet but it's NOT hurting constantly like before. I subscribed!
My right shoulder has always been painful on and off for many years, much of it is when I go to bed. I sleep with my arm raised above my head or the pain is bad. My doc said I have tendonitis and some damage from RA. I am going to do these exercises, thanks for being so helpful!
similar problems did it help?
I’m 32 years old and have been having physiotherapy and osteopathy on my shoulder on and off since I was 17. I had an MRI scan around 3 years ago that just showed inflamed tendons and the surgeon wasn’t keen to open it up and take a closer look for fear of it being a fruitless endeavour. I’m very athletic and this evening had some pain in the usual place and discovered this video. I’ve gone to bed with no pain and will pray for a good workout tomorrow with no issues. Brilliant exercises! Thanks guys.

Thank you guys. For saving both my shoulders, you are a life savers. I pulled both my shoulders some years ago, from lifting something, it has been bothering me for years, I tried everything, and almost preparing for surgery till I came across your channel.
By just listening to your techniques, I have been heeled completely, by following your instructions.
Thanks for your advice, you can use my testimony if you want. You can use me for anything, I can't thank you enough.
God bless.
i think they are great, ive also used some of their methods. but i can also recommend you the youtube channel : SpineCare Decompression and Chiropractic Center. i find that they have a bit more advanced methods.
@@M-Maxentius thank you.
060222/0530h PST 🇺🇸 Dear people, I thank you very much for exhibiting the simple method of alleviating the shoulder pain. I paused the video @3 mts and performed the two simple techniques and to my amazement; the right shoulder pain just vanished for good. I don’t know how to thank you 🙏🏽 Bless you, guys. I will continue the same procedure henceforth to maintain the correction.
Thanks again and stay safe.
I tried this on my 2 month long left shoulder pain and it healed in 3 weeks. Thank you guys
You 2 are great. None of the therapy you showed was done when my Dr. had me do therapy. I did the ones you shown, and started having relief in less than 1 day!! Still working on my shoulder and getting more mobility and much less pain. It also is helping with my positioning stability when welding. Upside down or down side up and running 2 - 3 feet of cap weld. Thank you so much. P.S. The therapy was 8 years ago and focused on mainly push through the pain, it resulted in making it worse.
Found your channel and cured my tendinitis in a few nights. Thanks so much!
You guys are the best! I couldn’t raise my hand behind my back for almost a year. So at the start of the pandemic I tried your home therapy. After 1 week, hey got some mobility. 2 wks, more motion. 3wks, could reach middle back again! You diminished my impingement pain with 3 weeks of daily at home exercises! Thanks for keeping it real!
That's frozen shoulder. It self-resolves.
It did not resolve by itself. Their PT advise was spot on for impingement.
@@marval550 Good luck proving that.
@@Zachorazor1 Who do they need to prove it to? Answer: Not you.
@@keisi1574 With whom does your opinion hold any weight? Answer: Not me.
This video saved my shoulder. I had impingement from too much of the wrong exercise without the right stretches. I still do your stretches multiple times a week. I am a physician and refer many of my patients to your channel. I hope Bob is handling his challenges without too much difficulty. He should take solace in knowing that his Bob and Brad videos are still helping many people. You guys also helped save my back.
i like your common sense and easy to apply approach .
At the two minute mark of this video, you solved a thirty-year mystery for me. My randomly occurring shoulder bursitis is now understood and can be prevented. That will be a massive reduction in intense pain for me. This is the most important UA-cam video I have ever seen! Thank you!
This is great info. I had a frozen shoulder several years ago and exercised and stretched my way out of it myself. Occasionally I start to have some shoulder pain again and I do some exercises.
These stretches are the best way to prevent the pain !

Me too Dixie...did u have an injury? I fell downstairs
Thank you, thank you! Shoulder pain of 10 years is much improved and gets better every day thanks to your videos! Also a new pain in my inner knee is now GONE! I am so amazed and grateful to y’all!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. I SUFFER FROM SHOULDER PAIN AFTER WORKOUT FOR 3 MONTHS NOW. AFTER TRAILS OF MEDICATIONS AND TWO NORMAL X-RAYS WITHOUT ANY IMPROVEMENT. I TRIED OUT YOIUR EXCERCISE TIPS THREE TIMES, NOW I AM 90% BETTER.
Wanted to say thank you! I had shoulder pain for about 2 weeks from lifting weights. Got to the point I had to stop. Started searching for stretches and how to fix the problem and this video hit the spot. 2 days of these stretches/moves, 3 times a day helped me get back into the gym pain free. Thank you!
Have recently had sudden mysterious shoulder pain for about two months on left side! Was thinking of a doctor visit! Have had trouble sleeping waking up a lot and being more sore afterwards too! But seeing Bob & Brad's video on shoulder pain no doubt this is what I'm going through! This being Dec. 8th 2021 will do all the routines and reply in a few weeks with results!
I didn't know about this until today. I'll try it too. Usually when my shoulder gets to hurting. I do shoulder presses with very light weight. Soups cans at first. That's helped me a lot, but today I think posture might be part of the problem.
I'm also having a major dull ache on left side ...from shoulder down to my hand. Sooooo painful! Had rotator cuff surgery 5 years ago...hoping you guys can help me with this!
@@margaretbrennan2089 I had similar pain, my doctor had me hold my arm out front then twist my fist clockwise. The pain shot from my shoulder to elbow. She said, tendonitis.
@@robbyddurham1624 ...Thanks so much for your response Robert. The pain has been unbearable! Made me cry! I'm a strong woman but had several falls, dislocated my artificial hip in 2020 and, sadly, my body is wracked in pain most days! I'm definitely going to follow through with exercise and physical therapy. My internet research also diagnosed it as tendinitis! Good luck. May you have less pain.
@@margaretbrennan2089 I'm sorry for your troubles. I'm not that bad off. Best of everything to you.
Suffered left shoulder pains for a few years, before you came around. Stopped smoking and suddenly the pain disappeared to never come back again. Thought of it for years, until like a flash there and then discovered the reason. On my way to work every morning I lit a cigarette and rolled my window down to let the smoke out. The cold air especially hitting my left shoulder was definitely the cause for my sometime excruciating pain. Very strange, but true.
@bina nocht : Except that cell phones emit microwaves and they can penetrate farther than they thought was possible. Don't travel around with your phone in your pocket.
@bina nocht they say the waves also mess with your balls. So you know I gotta have it in my pocket at all times.
Thank You Thank You Thank You. I just suddenly started having this issue out of the blue. Unable to sleep on my shoulder, can't raise my arm up high or hold onto objects - glass from the cabinet. Now, my shoulder feels a thousand times better. Fantastic information 👌
I 13:21 I have had so much pain and I have had a cortisone injection
Bob and Brad helped me years ago with their videos to help with my tennis elbow
Now I am going to try these exercises to help my chronic neck and shoulder pain
I’m so grateful to have these videos to follow
These exercises have been amazing....I have been doing the standard stretches for 4 very painful months....your advice has brought me back to my fighting form....thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🙋♂️
It's insane that I suffered long term shoulder pain and restricted rotation in my shoulder just because I didn't understand the mechanics of my own body! Doing these exercises for the first time watching this video, and I already have 50% improvement in movement.
I'm dealing with pain and restricted motion on external rotation, did you follow all this protocol?
@Enhanced-Atrophy I did follow the protocol. However, the initial relief was not long lasting. After about a month something else tightened up, and I haven't worked that out yet.
I had trigger finger on my left hand. It was painful and pretty severe. I tried acupuncture with no real relief then I started researching other treatments. Finally, I came across a doctor that treated trigger finger with shoulder therapy. His assertion was that the tightening of tendons in the hands actually begins in the shoulder area. I started doing yoga and Tai chi exercises that emphasized arm stretching. Miraculously, my finger started to release within 7 days, and within 2-3 weeks it was completely gone! Now, anytime I feel that same tightening coming on, I do those stretches. I know I should stretch daily to keep it from coming back, but I just wanted to extoll the benefits of what is being presented here. Stretching the whole body is probably one of the best things you can do for overall health!
Great thanks , will it help torn musel?
Thank you for your testimony
B & B. I have had shoulder pain for 5 years. When I used your Mulligan technique, and applied significant down pressure to the chair, my remaining pain went away. Thank you.
That's great!
7 yrs later I'm finally getting relief, thank you for the hope
My husband does the “canal pillows”. You wouldn’t believe how many others we meet with shoulder pain and he shares it with all of them. Great success. He was really suffering.
That's CRAZY!! I've had really bad left shoulder pain for about the past 2 months. After watching your video it was pretty obvious that my problem is impingement. I tried your exercises for that and it is about 80% better IN 1 DAY!!! NO KIDDING!!! It's unbelievable!!! Thanks guys!!! 💪👈
Just happened across this - been really struggling for a year with my right shoulder
Started these exercises today!
Thank You!
My problem is all of this..X-ray helped me ..Everything you two are saying is me..Thank you two .
HOLY 💩 ‼️‼️ I can’t believe it‼️‼️‼️ it’s been a LONG WHILE, then after using your method 💨 GONE‼️ INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF ‼️‼️ Feeling some pain with the belt method, so I’ll avoid that while I repeatedly use the other techniques. Then I’ll give it a go; again. TGANK YOU‼️🙌🏼
Thank you for the visual explanation at the beginning of the video showing the tendon in the shoulder being pinched and for all of the helpful exercises. You guys are great!
Wow. Just came across this video and it's helping already. For the past week or more my right shoulder has been extremely painful. With just doing a few of these exercises it's much better. Will continue with the exercises. Thank you so much!
3 weeks of pain and I've had 75% improvement after 1 day of these exercises. God bless you guys!!
45 years old, I injured my shoulder wrestling 27 years ago, I have had real pain since then, I was convinced an operation was my only solution, I started streatching and working out as a last ditch effort of desperation (convinced it wouldn’t work) the chair trick worked almost instantly, I wish I knew this earlier in life, but my 18 year old self didn’t take the therapy seriously… I am still making an appointment with a local therapist to see what else I can do. Thank You guys!
Thank you!!!! No more pain!!! It’s been a year and I am still pain free!
After 24 years in acute care, cardiopulmonary, neuro and trauma setting, I am entering into the outpatient world again! Easing back in to outpatient is scary, so I am thankful for you guys because your videos are PRICELESS! I have a good, strong fitness background so it is helping my transition and you guys are phenomenal. Thanks!!
Good luck on the Out patient arena. You will have fun!!!!
Physical Therapy Video thank you. It was A LONG DAY...I’m thankful for the video, I’m also thankful for clothed patients!!! Coming from inpatient setting primarily...I never get the uncensored view!! Yesterday was awesome!!! (Minus the documentation) :) I’m gonna keep watching your videos!
woww.. i just found yall today... thanks soooooo much..
doc johnny.. i think you saved my life and shoulder..
ive been looking for 40 years... blessings..really
My shoulder pain was gone after 1 day of a few of the exercises. Unbelievable!!!!!! Thank you
Suffering from shoulder pain now. Hoping your video can help with relief.
I am a senior citizen ( can’t believe I admitted it) with arthritis & loss of bone density, and degenerative discs in my back. Lately I’ve experienced left shoulder pain & occasional points of lifting my arm with an inability to lift it further.
I stumbled onto your video & tried some exercises in my chair along with you. What a great system to obtain greater ROM & lessen pain. Thank you!
Now I have to go to your videos & find any for low back & hip pain.❤️
Thanks for the videos! You guys are taking away some of the pains of growing older.
I have ALL of these ailments and this morning I couldn’t even lift my shoulder. After doing a few of these exercises, I am able to lift my shoulder! Almost pain-free! I am saving this video! Thanks you guys!!
Me too lol 😆 I did the same thing. They’re great 👍

Same here, thanks a lot.
I injured my shoulder boxing in 2009. One reason I never went back was because the confidence of not having my shoulder healed. Had X-rays, mri, physical therapy and went to a chiropractor and none of them knew what was wrong or how heal me. I been doing these for a week n I feel progress. Thank you 🙏🏽 Big Blessings
I apreciate it so much, thank you guys.
Thanks guys! I have problems with my left shoulder and the exercises you showed makes more sense than what my physical therapist(s) did 5 years ago. What they had me doing caused pain.
Thank you so much I need this help. 🙏
You are very welcome.
You two saved me when I had acute shoulder pain in the night but unable to take pain meds due to an upcoming medical procedure. The exercises allowed me to finally sleep! Thank you!
I Always enjoy your videos. Many time my elderly patients or clients with long term problems need a less painful place to start. It's helpful to start them by disengaging postural muscles so they can focus on phasic muscles when beginning rehab, especially in and around the shoulder capsule. Proprioception can work for us or against us. I will usually have a patient lay down to disengage the postural muscles and teach them their first exercises while laying on their back.
I’ll share these videos to those who need the wisdom from you two! In fact, I know many people that have shoulder issues and it’s really sad. As we all know, the body is made to move and we get stuck in their ways and then get injuries…
Might want to also address the primary cause. Sleeping on your shoulder, putting 8 hours of pressure on the joint. If overweight you should be even more careful. If pain is constant and has been there for a long time, for immediate relief, sleep on your back on a flat place, even the floor, with something under you that does Not reach all the way to the outer edge of the shoulder. A narrow camp pad or the like will do. This gives the shoulder joint the chance to move anteriorly by gravity and relive the pressure. One night will bring relief and two nights of this will bring amazing results.
As a side sleeper, take your usual position and "unfold" just enough to take the weight off that shoulder. It's a very small movement, not enough to unbalance you, but takes all the pressure off the joint and allows it to heal or not cause the problem in the first place.
Hey I am a physical therapist and you are inspiring me with those exercises ! Thank u :)
Thank you so much. I have been doing 3 exercises set by a physio for 2 months, with little improvement and I was beginning to feel as the arm was getting weaker. Now that I’ve added in your suggestions (door frame, push down walk back, the stick) after two days I have increased mobility. Thank you 🙏😘
OMG! I've been suffering with pain since June 2022 - that's 10 months. I've been to rehabilitation and muscle therapy and nothing worked. I do the Milligan technique a few times and the pain went away like 95%. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
I hope this treatment works as well as the one for the lower spine, they were a great help, Thanks to you both.
OK. So I tweaked my shoulder last week while bench pressing and was still having a good bit of discomfort yesterday-6 days later. Then I came across this, did the first 3 exercises for a few sets and still felt discomfort throughout the day. However, when I woke up this morning there was virtually no pain at all. What an incredible improvement! Thanks Bob & Brad
