Thanks Markus! Very nice of you. And in case you didn't see my recent video on AC joints, I've discovered that a percussion massage gun (some are pretty cheap on Amazon) can loosen up the SC really quickly, so they're very handy too.
Wow, amazing! I've been dealing with neck, shoulder & collarbone pain & discomfort for 18 months. This video nailed my posture pitfalls & the exercises have had an immediate effect. Thanks for such clear & concise presentation too.

Hey, thanks man. Actually, I'm planning on updating my AC joint video on the next few weeks. Have discovered that tightness in the highest fibres of the pec major (that attach to the collar bone) add significantly to AC hypermobility. Will update video when I can. Would help people who have traumatic AC pain too. (Falls off bikes mainly)
@@BodyFixExercises I tried the stuff you taught before my push workout today and I was hoping it would feel a little better. Not sure it felt better but hopefully it will after I do the stuff you showed me a lot more
Perfectly diagnosed my shoulder pain that I used to get repeatedly while bench pressing with a barbell, your exercises also helped in reducing the swelling and haven't got the pain since then even after benching more than 80 kilos! Thank you, good content indeed.
Amazing !!!!!! I felt an instant relief from my AC joint pain right away. Honestly, the joy you get when your body feels relieved and without any pain can't be put into words. Thank you so so much.

You are absolutely great. I have tried this exercise and i am getting better. Now the pain has reduced. Thank you so much. I had tried so many other exercises but nothing worked
i just want to say that i love ur vids man ur a great person id comment that on every video my my shoulder hurts hah. plus i love that u throw in facts it helps with a credibility and you offer tips in the middle of the video so i can hear them while i try on the stretches and exercises.
Thanks for this and demonstrating the exercises so clearly. Also, thanks for not shouting at the viewer, some of the other videos on UA-cam are not watchable for me because the demonstrators, whilst knowledgeable, speak so fast and so loud. I recently hurt my hip and for about 3 weeks I could only turn over in bed by hoisting my body weight up with my arms straight, hands pressed into the mattress. Seems I've definitely strained my AC joints. Hip is great now, but shoulders very painful, hopefully to be rectified soon.
Wow, I already feel an improvement! Instinctively, I performed a yoga position known as "the child's pose" to stretch between my shoulders, unaware that pressing on the heels of my hands would result in the ultimate stretch. Subsequently, I experienced a pulsing sensation in my shoulder muscle which, after approximately 3-5 minutes, relaxed. The curve at the front of my shoulder, which was due to poor posture, has eased, become less pronounced, and shifted towards a more aligned position. I am incredibly grateful, doctor. It seems I am on the path to recovery! Ps. What would be the best way to position my arm using a mouse, while working on a computer?
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have been suffering with a painful ACJ for 4 months. It was originally misdiagnosed by a physio! She then gave me exercises which made it worse and delayed the healing process. A second and third opinion gave the diagnosis of sprained ACJ. I’m trying to avoid an injection so I will definitely try these techniques. Warm wishes, Sam !

OMG...I believe you may have hit on my trouble. I've been to an Ortho, and had p.t. and nobody ever mentioned this to me....just a pulled or strained sternocleidomastoid muscle! Nothing has helped me. I'm going to buy a tennis ball now and do all of these exercises! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!
Excellent way of explaining this painful situation. I'll put this in practice and let you know. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge and have a nice day.
Thanks I got diagnosed with ac joint damage about a month or so ago after say 4/5 months of pain it doesn’t hurt to press only movements and lying on it was given exercises by physio but didnt do them will do these ones tho the pain doesn’t last as long as it did now but still getting everyday I do yoga which is meant to help shoulder pain thanks
Thank you good sir, I thought my problem couldn’t be fixed without surgery (or so I was told by an internet stranger) but I just did the first stretch and had immediate relief!
I so happen to do a bunch of dips and rows early in the day and ended up napping on a not so comfy couch in the position you showed and I woke up with a lot of AC pain. This video verified my theory. Thanks for the stretches!
Sitting legs crossed is going to set yourself up later for knee pain and problems. Thanks for the great info. This is needed to supplement the other info out there. Sleeping with my shoulder scrunched for years, did this joint in.
It's incredible that I went to 3 different physiotherapists and they weren't able to identify what my problem is. They said 3 different things, from muscle damage to tendon inflammation... I've had AC joint pain for around 3 years at this point. It started very intense during a calisthenics workout, I couldn't work out for a few months afterwards. Then it became managable on its own, but never went away. Today I started digging into the anatomy of the shoulder and found out about the AC joint. I realized that is exactly where I feel the pain, which brings me to this video. Thank you for the content and the explanation, I hope this will help me finally get rid of my pain! Are AC joint issues rare, and/or hard to diagnose? I am wondering why I was misdiagnosed so many times. Did I do a poor job explaining where the pain is maybe?
Great content thanks. 67yo Localised AC pain sudden onset while doing push-ups 8 mths ago and pain no better. xrays, doctors, physio, some widening but generally no idea, the physio told me I was too old and it will always be sore.
Sack your physio. You're never too old to improve, especially not at 67yo! That's just a cop out by your physio. Makes me mad.

Just wanted to follow up; I did these exercises to the best of my ability and tried to adjust my sleep positioning to the best of my ability…and my ac joint sharp shooting pain is gone. Seriously. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and improving my life!
Hey Blue Sky. If your AC joint is really painful the hypermobility will have caused a lot of inflammation in the joint. You can settle that down by putting an icepack on the painful AC joint. NOT heat. Ice it a few times a day for 10 minutes a time to settle it down. (See my 'When to use heat and ice' video for details). I'll be adding a new video on strengthening the Serratus Anterior and Lower Traps so keep an eye out for that. Good luck!
@@BodyFixExercises thank you so much. I am reading this having an ice pack already in place. My daily life has slowed down so badly with this awful pain. Sleep is worst. I am going to do the exercises you provided. I have a scan coming this week. Let’s see. But thank you so much.
I play some mobile games on my bed while on my side and was starting to get AC Joint pain. The moment I did the initial sitting exercises I almost immediately felt a sense of relief, like something "released" in there. I used cross friction massage on that SC Joint in your second treatment instead of a tennis ball and that freed it up even more. Thank you so much. Very happy that it just takes simple stretches to clear this up.
3 is impressive. Lol. Must have been a rib joint loosening too. Some of the ribs can get stuck too when it shoulder scrunches forward in bed (or after hours on computers). Sounds like you needed it!
You don't need to feel any stretch. It's mobilising the sc joint not stretching a muscle so you won't feel much but for it anyway. Make sure you check out the updated version of this video because it has an extra technique that really helps. Releasing the Pec Major attachment to the collar bone allows for greater movement of the clavicle, which reduces the excessive movement of the AC joint... ua-cam.com/video/6QJCmFArFV4/v-deo.html
Man thanks very much i always thought my SC joint must have problem but never gave and attention and it always cracks. My sleeping postion is bad and my pac minor is also tight. Best video on this topic.
been struggling fully recovering from my AC joint seperation in January. Hopefully doing some of the SC mobility may help reduce the movement of my AC joint. Thanks a lot!
SC restriction is more likely to be the cause of AC hypermobility in cases with no trauma. BUT some cases where trauma is the cause don't heal as well as they should because of undiagnosed SC restriction, so go for it! Good luck Tom, and thanks for commenting.
@@berzerkfury1459 These helped a lot, I barely have much shoulder pain anymore and these definitely helped. On top of a lot of rotator cuff strengthening/mobility.
When it's painful and inflamed you can always settle it down with an icepack. 10 minutes icing, 10 minutes rest, and repeat a few times in a row. This will reduce the inflammation and therefore pain quite a lot usually. But then you need to address the underlying cause, (which is SC joint restriction in most cases if there's no history of trauma) so the inflammation doesn't build up again. The worse position is with your elbow behind you and the shoulder tilted forward (like doing the gym exercise 'dips'). So avoid that position (it twists the AC joint) and be careful with your sleeping position. You may need to sleep on your back for a while. Good luck!
Thank you for this video. Currently taking notes. 2 years ago, I was doing dips and went too deep ROM and I am still dealing with it. The tenderness on the AC joint went away, but it seems to still be hypermobile and get flared up quite easily if I do too many push ups - very frustrating. I suspect for a chronic injury like this there are some structural issues causing constant aggravation like a bound up SC joint. I will try these release techniques. Thank you for this video.
I have had 3 failed ACJ Reconstruction [modified weaver dunn] and this has given me immense relief - thank you so much. If I could make a request: could you please make a video (or advice) for ACJ strain while sitting and typing? Thank you, Stefan.
Hey Adrian. I'm glad my video helped. Make sure you check out the one with the massage gun too for AC joint problems because they can be very helpful. Regarding your request for a video on ACJ strain and typing, I'm not sure I could provide enough info to warrant a video, (and it's a very specific topic) but here's my thoughts... make sure that your keyboard and mouse are positioned so that your elbows are always beside your body. This will ensure that your scapula is in a neutral position so there is minimal torsion on the AC joint. Avoid craning your head forward or down, as this will affect scapular position too (by pulling on the Levator Scapula muscle which attached to the scapula. My Chin Tuck Plus video might help you with posture, but just be sure your arms are just to the side on the chair while doing this exercise, not behind your body.) Good luck!
Thank you. That's a lovely thing to say!! Make sure you check out the updated version of this video because it has an extra technique that really helps... ua-cam.com/video/6QJCmFArFV4/v-deo.html

Really appreciate the video, I've been struggling with this shoulder and lat pain for over a year now. I'm going to start incorporating these recommendations into my routine. Has anyone also experienced elbow pain along with AC joint issues? My inner elbow has also been an issue over this time, same side as shoulder. Thoughts?
The pec minor tightness that often comes with AC joint problems can also cause 'thoracic outlet syndrome' which may cause pain in the elbow. So check out my new video on AC joint pain that shows how to release pec minor. Then also have a look at my thoracic outlet syndrome video which talks about pec minor too

Make sure you check out the updated version of this video because it has an extra technique that really helps. Releasing the Pec Major attachment to the collar bone allows for greater movement of the clavicle, which reduces the excessive movement of the AC joint...

You're welcome! Check this video too. It's an updated video on AC joint problems and contains extra info... ua-cam.com/video/6QJCmFArFV4/v-deo.html
i love you. so helpful 😢
Shucks!
been struggling fully recovering from my AC joint seperation in January. Hopefully doing some of the SC mobility may help reduce the movement of my AC joint. Thanks a lot!
SC restriction is more likely to be the cause of AC hypermobility in cases with no trauma. BUT some cases where trauma is the cause don't heal as well as they should because of undiagnosed SC restriction, so go for it! Good luck Tom, and thanks for commenting.
Keep going .these exercises really work don't give up.
Thanks ¥THEGAME¥
Update?
@@berzerkfury1459 These helped a lot, I barely have much shoulder pain anymore and these definitely helped. On top of a lot of rotator cuff strengthening/mobility.
Thankyou !
I’m struggling bad at the moment . Pain is terrible
When it's painful and inflamed you can always settle it down with an icepack. 10 minutes icing, 10 minutes rest, and repeat a few times in a row. This will reduce the inflammation and therefore pain quite a lot usually. But then you need to address the underlying cause, (which is SC joint restriction in most cases if there's no history of trauma) so the inflammation doesn't build up again. The worse position is with your elbow behind you and the shoulder tilted forward (like doing the gym exercise 'dips'). So avoid that position (it twists the AC joint) and be careful with your sleeping position. You may need to sleep on your back for a while. Good luck!
@@BodyFixExercises thankyou .. I will do that now
Thank you for this video. Currently taking notes. 2 years ago, I was doing dips and went too deep ROM and I am still dealing with it. The tenderness on the AC joint went away, but it seems to still be hypermobile and get flared up quite easily if I do too many push ups - very frustrating. I suspect for a chronic injury like this there are some structural issues causing constant aggravation like a bound up SC joint. I will try these release techniques. Thank you for this video.
Make sure you watch the updated video too
Nice.....Sir
Thanks and welcome
I have had 3 failed ACJ Reconstruction [modified weaver dunn] and this has given me immense relief - thank you so much. If I could make a request: could you please make a video (or advice) for ACJ strain while sitting and typing? Thank you, Stefan.
Hey Adrian. I'm glad my video helped. Make sure you check out the one with the massage gun too for AC joint problems because they can be very helpful. Regarding your request for a video on ACJ strain and typing, I'm not sure I could provide enough info to warrant a video, (and it's a very specific topic) but here's my thoughts... make sure that your keyboard and mouse are positioned so that your elbows are always beside your body. This will ensure that your scapula is in a neutral position so there is minimal torsion on the AC joint. Avoid craning your head forward or down, as this will affect scapular position too (by pulling on the Levator Scapula muscle which attached to the scapula. My Chin Tuck Plus video might help you with posture, but just be sure your arms are just to the side on the chair while doing this exercise, not behind your body.) Good luck!
Thanks I like it easy speech
Thanks Marie

Fantastic video. Very clear and to the point.
Check out my updated version of this AC joint video. I discovered something else that really helps the AC joint
Wow, it works, legs cross, and turned to look back, and the cracking sounds went down %80. Thank you
Awesome!

wooow thank you
You're welcome 😊
Really appreciate the video, I've been struggling with this shoulder and lat pain for over a year now. I'm going to start incorporating these recommendations into my routine. Has anyone also experienced elbow pain along with AC joint issues? My inner elbow has also been an issue over this time, same side as shoulder. Thoughts?
The pec minor tightness that often comes with AC joint problems can also cause 'thoracic outlet syndrome' which may cause pain in the elbow.
So check out my new video on AC joint pain that shows how to release pec minor. Then also have a look at my thoracic outlet syndrome video which talks about pec minor too
How to treat acromioclavicular separation and how many days. 😞
Watch this video.

How many days varies enormously
So I’m really glad I found the chiropractor open on Sunday because apparently I had a rib out of place under my scapula
