@Dr. Kristie Ennis, Thanks one of your earlier videos, my rotator cuff is 100%! With gratitude and wishes for your ongoing professional success. Onward and upward: Cheers! 🙂
Excellent tips and routines, Dr. K! Last summer I had 12 weeks of PT for suspect rotator tears and/or impingement and my post-PT directives were to continue work with stretching, Thera-Bands, and many of the routines you show in this video. It works. While not 100% yet, my pain and range of motion have improved to "near back to normal" status. A true believer!
Excellent For some reason, I am relating pain to better performance. I do some of the exercise you’re talking about but I don’t do them 10 times I do 50 times although I do them every other day I have a lot of pain in my shoulder. I like your approach. I want to try to exercise without pain I like that idea.
Thank you Kristie! I wish I'd met your channel earlier. You give all what's needed systematically. Most of the other channels seem to give "efficient" exercises but they ignore keeping them under control considering the injury and pain level. I'll happily leave another comment hopefully as soon as my shoulder gets better and I go back in sports.😊
Hi guys! I’ve heard from a lot of you that the sound seems off. I’ve listened to it on my phone with and without my headphones without any issues so I’m not sure what’s going on. Any suggestions?
Thank *you* Kristie for the rescue. You explained the muscles involved to where I actually understood, as apposed to my practitioner. And you gave me great advise that feels good and right, as opposed to the therapist I was referred to who said they could squeeze me in about late August. (I said I was planning on recovering by then.) Second time you've saved me. (I expect.) You are a pillar in your field. -- Freeman
Isometrics has been a great addition to my exercise routines. It serves to bring blood flow to muscles that require the benefits. All of your exercises are isotonic in nature.
I tend to use isometrics at the beginning of an injury and progress as the injury progresses. Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/xj6JWIHTjcE/v-deo.html
Thank you for the great video! I think I have a kinda unique problem. I've been seeing my physiotherapist for more than 1 year now with a problem with my right shoulder/rotator cuff. My right shoulder is clicking/jumping during lateral raises but its not painful anymore. There's no problem with shoulder press also. However when doing chest press - while using bigger weight; with small weights there's no pain - my right front delt/rotator hurts and also my brachialis/pronator teres (somewhere at that area). Its can also be extremely painful to put on a backpack/jacket. (also i feel something above my collarbone, and around my neck) If i do the rotation movement while me fists face towards the ground and theres a 45 degrees angle with my shoulder, it hurts at the front delt/rotator and also down the biceps. Only in the right arm (doing any kind of biceps exercises dont hurt except when my right arm is facing backwards like in movement 1 in the video above, so when the dumbbell/cable movement starts from behind my back). Also its really painful to do this excercise and doesnt improve even after doing it for months: ua-cam.com/video/GEH6Y-_1X84/v-deo.htmlsi=zOqCK6GLWam_xNne&t=350 i feel something around my forearm and wrist also and in my neck too, so basically from my next to the wrist theres an uncomfortable feeling Its been more than a year altogether and despite having babysteps i dont see a significant results :\ I've been seeing a chiropractor also and he doesnt know whats the problem either, like my physiotherapist so basically we are just experimenting.. right now with the right scapula activation. Do you have an idea what can be wrong or what should I do the improve the situation? Thank you in advance!
My wife had me add a pulley near the top of a door, to pull on a rope like what you did with a strap. I found that hanging by my fingertips from the top of a door frame loosened a frozen shoulder, slowly adding more of my weight and leaning forward, with my fingertips pointing away from me. I also went to an orthopedic surgeon and did the stretches and strengthen moves he recommended- he only gave me a 1 in 10 chance of fixing it myself, but I was able to get it back to normal by myself without surgery. Bob and Brad have a video about hanging from an overhead bar for shoulder problems.
I had a tear in the supraspinatus which caused a completely frozen shoulder quite some years ago, what followed was weekly physio and quite a few of the exercises you demonstrate in the video. It's improved considerably over the years but i never gained full range of movement, i get nerve pain and some days it aches when i've over done it in pilates but i can't complain as compared to the pain of the frozen shoulder what i have now is nothing.
I would have a question. Situation: I have shoulder pain (probably the rotator) since 7 months. I thought that stopping completely training would heal my shoulder naturally. It did not. I restarted training one month ago. Question: Should I stop training, and do instead the exercices you propose plus apply the ice? I can support the pain, but I often have to stop, while my other arm would keep on going. Thanks for any input! I guess your favorite movie would be the one with Patrick Swayzy dirry dancing!? 😅
Without seeing you in person, it’s difficult to give advice as there could be numerous issues causing the pain. Do you have someone you could see in person?
@@drkristieennis not at the time. For now, I will definetly use ice on it after working the shoulder and like I've seen you say, anytime is good also for twenty minutes or so. I don't know why I did not use it yet, procrastinating 7 months isn't responsible.... one other option, if it doesn't heal would be to see a chiropractionner. Then, if it doesn't resolve, I'll need to tell my family doctor about this issue. It would be nice if a scan of the shoulder area could detect the problem :) thanks
Kristie, thank you for you videos. I have a rotator cuff injury and have been doing your rehab exercises for them. One question, is it ok to put extra strain on the rotator cuff with resistance bands or should I hold off until it is healed ?
Ugh that pulley in post op rehab was the worst lol. But it was very effective for sure. I got 100% of my strength back, after a year, with moves like this and resistance submerged in water.
I have been dealing with right shoulder pain off and on for years and I have always suspected a torn rotator cuff. I do have a workout routine with weights, not body building, consisting of about 18 upper body lifts QOD. Recently I have found that the pain from doing bench presses has become intolerable and so I have had to stop for over two months. Once in a while I will test with less weight and find it still very painful so I don't push it. The rest of my lifts do not seem to aggravate it much at all, but I would like to reach the point where I can again include it. What do you think?
By the time I got diagnosed, I had a resolved dislocated shoulder, a torn rotator cuff, a frozen shoulder, and bursitis. I had adapted everything from washing my hair to putting on a coat. An injection for me was magic. Therapy, too -- before and after the diagnosis. All to say go see someone. I'd go back to super basics, which would not include bench presses. You may be doing more harm than good, reinjuring whatever is damaged. A good PT may be able to assess your ROM, adaptations to injury you may be making, etc., and help you chart a path back to bench presses.
I just had rotator cuff surgery about 3 weeks ago…. Is it safe to use these exercises to get some of my mobility back before I start the actual physical therapy?
I have some pain in my bicep, what causes that? And is there an exercise i could do to target that, im an artist and paint using my arm so it’s important that my rotator cuff is in good shape
you should never tie anything to a hook from a door. You cannot depend on that Hook that usually goes into a hollow door, or it is non-secured in a solid door, never as it never place any rope strap band onto a hook of a door.dangerous

Injured rotator cuff years ago. That bent over arm swing like a gorilla feels so good! Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou Dr Ennis I’m working on them now
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very much appreciate.
Thanks Doc. Much respect...

I had no problem with the sound. Except the ad was loud of course!
I've been going to physical therapist for over seven years for my shoulder the last exercise was definitely the best I've ever done thank you
Thanks for sharing! You are welcome:)

How about showing us how to relieve pain from the shoulder rotator cuff injury with the derma edge
Good idea! I really need a Derma Edge series!
Can you please make an video on triceps tendinous please…
I can! Here is a stretching video:

Lookin good!
Not sure why, but I only hear audio from the right speaker until 9:50 in the video.
Enjoyed the video though!
The audio seems to have been uploaded with out the left audio channel…. Very helpful video though thank you.

hi Doctor thanks again for your help video. you looking beautiful 🍫❤🇬🇧

Was your shoulder pain from Lyme? I thought I had rheumatoid but I think it’s actually Lyme. My left shoulder.

This is definitely something to speak with your surgeon about as protocols vary.
I have some pain in my bicep, what causes that? And is there an exercise i could do to target that, im an artist and paint using my arm so it’s important that my rotator cuff is in good shape
Without seeing you, it’s difficult to give specific advice. Have you seen my biceps video?
ua-cam.com/video/wEZgwJGQZrI/v-deo.html
Yes it has helped the bicep
Looks yum! I mean fun!
I'm sorry Dr kristie ennis I forgot to say happy Valentine's day to you it's just that I don't have the time and I have been busy
No worries! Happy Valentine’s Day:)
I wake up in terrible pain guess I’m sleeping on arm, what can I do to get my life back I’m an artist I paint and I cantnow

The video has no sound...
I don't want to be "that guy" but some of your videos only play sound in one earphone. Great videos btw.
I’m sorry:( I’ve been trying to figure this out and I think I’ve finally got it! Next Tuesday’s video should be equal:)
I cant hear anything, no sound?
It looks like one headphone side was not working. It should be fixed for next week!
@@drkristieennis thank you !

I’m always surprised with how many people call it a “rotator cup”.
you should never tie anything to a hook from a door. You cannot depend on that Hook that usually goes into a hollow door, or it is non-secured in a solid door, never as it never place any rope strap band onto a hook of a door.dangerous
Please do your research before suggesting some exercises that might cause more damage …ie…the row…
