4 Supraspinatus Tendonitis Exercises
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Today's video covers exercises for supraspinatus tendonitis and tears. The four rotator cuff muscles act to stabilize and rotate the shoulder joint and can be susceptible to tendonitis and tears. Of the four muscles, supraspinatus is most commonly injured and will most typically produce pain at the top and side of the shoulder that can refer down the lateral arm.
If you have been diagnosed with supraspinatus tendonitis or a tear, it is recommended that you start with conservative management (physical therapy) and see how your symptoms respond. Many people are able to avoid surgery with these simple strengthening exercises.

Thank you for this video!
You’re welcome!
Hey, thanks for the video. I'm searching for a rehab for my mum's supraspinatus pain and I'm more than happy I've found your channel. One question. You've a similarly named video filmed a year ago. Is there any difference?
Just placed request for my public library to buy it AKA will be multiple copies for the library system of 40+ locations.
Amazing! Thank you!

@@RehabScienceThanks 🙏🙏
2:35 please confirm Me Do i need to bend the Elbow and Do it or keeping elbow very straight all way going up abd Down
Thanks for the video ! Can we do these exercices everydays or is it better to do it only a few days a week ? Also can I do it the same day when i am going to the gym to warm up ?
Found your book and channel thanks to the Ready State Podcast (great episode by the way). Will these exercises help if pain occurs with internal rotation while the arm is lifted to the side? Going overhead there is no pain or dysfunction.
Awesome, thanks for checking out my channel and my book! Yes, these exercises could help with those symptoms. I would give them a try and see how your body responds.
Thank you, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Sir,
can you tell a difference between supraspinatus tendonitis and pain in shoulder & posterior head of triceps ? Latter is usually described as cervical radiculopathy.
May painful zone goes trough posterior deltoid to triceps yet virtually all therapists describe pain in frontal & lateral deltoideus.
I've got my pain from repetitive movements ( pushups and dips).
great vid as always. quick question, the last exercise is actually a lateral raises most do for delts. any advatdages holding the dumbell like "hammer" rather than regular grip (pronated) being done in most lateral raises exercises?
Yes, the thumb up position helps target the supraspinatus muscle and tendon rather than the deltoid.
thank you!!
There is a patient with full ROM in flexion and abduction but she is reluctant to move her arm, with reduced scapula rhythm and loss of muscle bulk in supraspinatus and deltoid. Which stage would be good to start at. She is moderately irritable, any overhead movement sets off pain
Is this the worst situation for the shoulder? Or is there the possibility of doing new shoulder weights such as lateral raises or shoulder overheads? Or even go up to the bar?
Hello, thank you for the great content. I highly value your videos. I'm 28 and experienced a partial supraspinatus tear seven months ago while doing pull-ups. Despite two months of physical therapy improving my range of motion and shoulder strength, the pain persists.
Your insights would be invaluable. I have a few questions:
1. How can I alleviate this pain?
2. Is returning to the gym advisable now, or should I wait until the discomfort is completely gone?
3. Does gaming have any negative impact on my recovery?
Your response means a lot to me. Thanks in advance for your guidance!
hey, what happened now?
Can a person having acromion type 2 bone structure follow these exercise? Please reply it would be very helpful
Hi sir,, The doctor that I went to go see said that I had bursitis and arthritis in my joints of my left shoulder I'm having some pain when I turn my arm around 😞 he also said that I had a small tear but I can work it out with physical therapy I'm not sure if you can help me with this thank you so much for your time in this video..
God bless you man..... there's definitely a solution. Try a surgery. God bless you again 🙏
Thanks 🙏🙏

Hi doc
I just have a quick question
I was diagnosed with mild supraspinatus tendonitis 10months ago
My doctor says its not that serious
So no reason to worry
But i am experiencing pain in the whole upper body (even tho the tendonitis is in my right shoulder)specially after waking up
I have tried physiotherapy too
Now i dont know what else to do
What do u think i should do now?
I would really appreciate the help
Hi thanks for the video. I have what I believe to be this issue with my shoulder!
Is some popping or clicking normal with this issue with the exercises?
Thank you👍
Yes, many people experience clicking and popping when their rotator cuff is irritated. As that irritation reduces, you should notice a reduction in joint noises.
Ok thank you
I’m continuing with the exercises 👍
Hello, i have supraspinatus inflamation when i overdo overhead work. How can i know if i should strenghten or stretch the supraspinatus. Or does it need any stretching at all, can that be a problem? Great video, gonna try Full can exercise for sure to see if it helps.
Stretching is usually not necessary for this muscle. Because it is the most commonly torn rotator cuff muscle, it is most important to strengthen the muscle and tendon with exercises like shown in this video.
If you need a more comprehensive rotator cuff program, my book has one that guides you through three phases of rehab. Here is an Amazon link for my book, if you want to learn more about it.

Question: I have biceps tendinitis and a partial tear of the supraspinatus. I have done many of the exercises shown in your video. I also lift weights. My question is: does your book explain the weightlifting exercises to avoid if you have supraspinatus tear..?
My book doesn't explain which exercises to avoid as this varies from person to person. The key is to test exercises one by one to determine which ones are irritating your shoulder. My book has comprehensive programs for the most common injuries and pain issues (including supraspinatus and biceps tendon injuries).

Hello, ive got a question if you wouldnt mind answering please. I apparently tore my rotatir cuff approximately 10 years ago. Not sure which part and had physio on it. In the last few years I've been powerlifting and my shoulder hurts when i bench press or overhead press. I know its impossible to duagnose this from my comment, but theres a weird thing i have that happens. The exercise you use in this video with the band, well when i do this, firstly my shoulder cracks (though its more like a "clunk" sound) and when i get just before vertical my shoulder rotates itself and repositions. I cant do anything about it, it's automatic. Also if i lay on the floor on my back and put my arms over my head straight, my good arm lays flat on the floor, my bad arm hovers above it. I can push it down but get some pain doing so and even if im fully relaxed, it still springs back up to hovering just off the floor. Have you got any ideas whats going on please as im stumped. Thank you in advance
Many people with long-standing rotator cuff issues develop tightness in the joint and changes in their mechanics. I would be willing to bet that you would benefit greatly from specific shoulder joint mobilizations. These often restore normal joint range of motion, reduce pain and help correct irregular movements. The key is to find a physio who specializes in orthopedic manual therapy.
Can I get the book in the store or does it have to be online?
You may be able to find it in some bookstores, but online is usually easier. Here is a direct link for my book on Amazon.

Would this be suitable for shoulder bursitis? and would your book also cover injuries related to shoulder bursitis?
These exercises often help with subacromial bursitis as well. The key is to only perform exercises that can be done with mild or less discomfort. The rotator cuff and shoulder impingement program in my book is more comprehensive and would very much help with bursitis. Here is an Amazon link for my book.

Hey Doc,
So i’ve been diagnosed with minor calcific supraspinatus, but i have pain somewhere around ac joint when working out. It’s minor pain but still bothers me. And i also have painless clicking behind my shoulder when i rotate my arm. X-ray showed my ac joint is fine so my question is.. can supraspinatus really hurt at that spot around ac joint or it could be something else? And why do i have clicking in the back.
Thank you in advance! 🙏🏽
Yes, it is common for supraspinatus to hurt near the AC joint since it runs directly underneath the acromion. The acromion is part of the AC joint.
@@RehabScience so what is the rehab for calcific supraspinatus? Same as you showed in this video?
Mine injured everytime I do lateral raise pain instantly the last exercise I can do but if I go out to the side it's no go
I'm soon turning 80 years old and I'm dealing with a full tear in the supra. I'm going to therapy right now, last month and a half. I feel I can get by without surgery, what do you think considering my age? Not much strenght in that arm but it's my left and I'm right handed.
Yes, I would encourage you to avoid surgery if you can. If we look at the research, approximately 80% of individuals who are 80 years old have a supraspinatus tear.
@rehabscience : My MRI scan report says 'Supraspinatous Tendinosis with full thickness rim rent tear' would these exercise help in recovery ? i don't wanna go for surgery
Yes, these exercises apply to tendinosis and tears as well. My book has a much more comprehensive rotator cuff rehab program, if you are interested. Here is a link for my book. a.co/d/8C6dXXh
Hello teacher, Do you have PDF this book?

I'm so thankful this video popped up on my reels this morning and have subscribed. Dr said I have torn rotator cuff. Happy i found you.
I sustained a minor injury to my supraspinatus muscle while playing badminton, exacerbated by an acromion type 2 bone structure. It pains alot As per medical advice, I've been advised to refrain from engaging in overhead exercises. To strengthen supraspintanus shall I still do mentiond exercises to strengthen the supraspinatus muscles while adhering to these restrictions?
Okay, saved the book to my Amazon wish list, same with the loop band. You're like the Doctor Mike of rehab. lol
Those overhead exercises you mentioned maybe eliminating altogether, like tennis, you mean during rehab, not forever, right? My goal is after the rehab to get back into everything. It's incredibly hard to not just do stuff anyway. Like my head is saying, "You can handle it". I probably can't, or if I could it would probably feel much worse after. I know when I move my injured arm (shoulder) it feels better for a little bit. When I don't move it, it hurts when I try.
It's a weird feeling when you make it to 50 and have never broken a bone, and the worst injury ever are sprains (which I walk on, probably shouldn't, but they go away eventually). And it's not like I've gone easy on my body, my friends and I used to tear around the woods, I once fell out of a second story window playing in a construction house, got hit by a motorcycle head-on as a teen riding a moped, I've been into full-contact sports most of my younger life, and semi-high-impact things like mountain biking, although, tbh I avoid the single track most of the time. It's just not fun any more. My wife is 36 and her sister who's 24 lives with us and she has us doing all sorts of stuff, Last winter I went ice skating, my first time in hockey skates. My parents made me do figure skating as a kid. And ballroom dancing. And gymnastics. But not karate, so I got beat up a LOT. lol. My wife wouldn't skate because she's like "I'm 36, what if I fall?" To which I said, "You get up and keep going." I fell twice. hockey skates are harder to use. But I kept going.
I don't want to not do stuff any more, fully-intend to get back into tennis, back into riding, and hopefully do some skiing this year, or maybe try snowboarding. I never have, but how hard could it be? It looks like fun. Rollerblading, too, I want to try that. I know how to roller skate and ice skate, so it has to be in the middle there. I will take it easy while I do the rehab, though. One of my other long-term goals is to try to get a job with UPS hopefully as a driver, which is incredibly competitive to get hired permanently as, but great pay and benefits. So I need to be in peak shape if that can ever happen.
Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for considering getting my book! It’s extremely comprehensive, and I know it will be a helpful resource to you.
In terms of modifying or eliminating activities, this would be a temporary change. You can definitely go back to tennis and other activities once your tissues have healed have you have strengthened them.
Thanks. It's funny because I'm also a gamer and even using my right arm for the mouse hurts. @@RehabScience
I get a stiff neck doing a lot of these ,I had neck surgery and wondered if I should do these to repair the supraspinatus tear in both ... I'll be buying your book as don't want more surgery
These can cause some neck stiffness in people when their supraspinatus is injured as it is common to compensate with other shoulder girdle muscles (upper trapezius especially) that connect to the neck and skull. Thank you for considering getting a copy of my book! I really think you will find the book to be a valuable lifelong resource. The rotator cuff and neck pain programs will be especially helpful right now. Here is an Amazon link, if you need one. a.co/d/85XQ6Gr
Does the book include massage tips for the knots
@@newts1964 Yes, it teaches self-mobilization or self-massage techniques that you can do with a ball or foam roller in each program.
Really appreciate all your replies too my many questions but as you can gather I have a lot going on....bursitis and tendinopathy in both shoulders and hips now which is causing weak knees bad back etc....some tears in supraspinatus and glute med so where do I start....side lying is almost impossible so does your book give options for all scenarios...or do you have a site I can contact you on personally to discuss my issues
@@newts1964 The programs in my book are very comprehensive and offer many exercise options.
Dr i have supraspintus tendonitis and biceps tendonitis , which exercises to perform for rehab, i have burning sensation in my bicep and upper trap and crackling sound from the shoulder joints
The exercises in the videos below typically help.

@@RehabScience thank you 🙏, i will goo through this exercises,but also i hve inflammatory arthritis in my left shoulder joint,thats why im confused where to start
is this similar to impingement injury of the shoulder?
Yes, shoulder impingement pain is typically due to supraspinatus tendon dysfunction.
Hi sir,i was diagnosed witha mild supraspinatus tendonitis,while it says that it needs to avoid over the shoulder movements,one of your exercise here (lifting arm on front and side) is literally over the shoulder movements and i feel a little discomfort when i did this,LOOKs like it can irritate the nerve more?
If you feel more than mild pain with that exercise, I would suggest only moving through a partial range of motion, or eliminating it from your program and retesting in a few weeks.
@@RehabScience got it sir,thanks a lot
Where do I get the book?
My book is sold with all major bookstores, but Amazon is usually the cheapest option. Here is an Amazon link for the book.

I had over cortisone shot, ruptured driveing home. Complet tear, longhead released
Sorry to hear that!
My MRI says Complete tear of supraspinatus tendon with retraction. Do these exercises help? Kindly indicate.
These exercises will still strengthen your other shoulder muscles. If the supraspinatus is fully torn and retracted, you won’t be able to strengthen it.
"full can" hurt me a bit on supraspinatus . It's good for cure or should I changed to do other exercises instead ?
I would drop the weight and potentially start with arm weight only. If more than mild pain still occurs, then I would remove that exercise for now.
@@RehabScience does full can need to fixed scapular protraction / retraction ?
@@TheTaei Usually the scapula is mostly fixed in place mainly so that it doesn't elevate during the exercise. However, it does need to rotate some, so don't hold it in place too firmly.
When doing these and other stretches, my shoulder is popping and clicking. Is that ok? If I continue doing these exercises, as the shoulder gets stronger, will those noises go away?
Those types of noises are very common when rehabbing from this issue. As long as they don’t cause more than mild pain, it is OK to keep doing exercises. In many cases, when the area heals, clicking and popping sensations will lessen.
@@RehabScience Awesome, thank you!
How often shoulder one do these exercises?
Usually, these would be done 3 to 4 times per week. However, if you are symptoms, flareup, then you may need to do less.
@@RehabScience Thank you very much, great video!
