Answer: yes! It helps.
I was hanging this morning. such a feeling of engagement with the many tight muscles in my shoulder!
Thanks 😂
It has helped me huge!
So thankful to Bob and Brad!
Thank you!!! you saved me 16minutes of my life 😁
Thank you these guys do too much BS. Encore they get to the point.
78 yr old male. Had a complete Rotator Cuff Tear, verified by MRI with suggested surgery after suggested exercises did no good. I use wall handles and try to hang 40 sec twice a day. Primary issue with torn rotator cuff tear is sleeping at night. This allows me to sleep with virtually no pain. Amazing results!
How are you now sir?
Wow! I have an 80% tear and thought hanging would tear it more!
I first found this channel while searching for relief after two years of suffering with severe pain in my left shoulder. A lifetime of surfing and golf had taken its toll. Hanging eliminated the pain that kept me awake at night and made simple things like reaching my arm out of the car window to pay a toll feel like I had been stabbed in the shoulder with an ice pick. I came across your original hanging video. That video completely turned it around for me. At first the shoulder was so bad I could only support about 20% of my body weight while hanging. From day one of beginning to hang I noticed improvement. Over the course of 2 months of hanging a couple of times a day I got to where I could pick my feet off of the floor and hang for 30 seconds. The results for me were astonishing. Then over the course of the next six months I was able to get up to ten pull ups worked in with the hanging. I still hang as part of my routine or at any hint of shoulder tightness.
Retired Carpenter /Doc worker. Coundn't sleep well, due to shoulder pain took your guys suggestion, low and behold pain has become almost nothing after a few days and three months later have helped back and neck stiffness!!! thanks Guys.
This exercise is amazing! I have arthritis and bone spurs in both shoulders. The relief was immediate! I'm 71 and it changed my life.
So happy we could help!
Totally fixed my shoulder pain after 15 years of tenderness due to my profession. I couldn't believe it was that simple.
Not just shoulder pain, but also decompression and relaxation. Just as good as a massage
Yes, yes, yes! Resolved pain I had for months and restored complete range of motion. Incredibly painful initially, but rapid improvement as I persisted and put more and more weight on my arms and for longer durations. I continue to do it intermittently for preventive purposes.
Hi! I tried to start this but felt my shoulder getting inflamed and more sore - I wasn't hanging fully on it as I'm weak and heavy! But was worried it was making things worse - how rapid was rapid, and did it hurt more all the time for a bit, or just while you were doing the activity? I'm not sure if it's a good thing to push through or not.
@@sleepyjoness I started gradually, just putting my hands on the bar and squatting down to stretch them a little, and, yes, that hurt. I went gradually, pushing it a bit more each day, three times a day. It did not make the shoulder more painful between sessions. As I remember, it was at least three weeks before I could put full weight on my arms, and only briefly. I am thin and was in decent shape prior to injuring the shoulder. It was a few months before my shoulder was mostly normal. Normal with full range of motion was probably six months.
@@stevemcbride Thanks so much for your answer! I don't mind if it hurts while I'm doing it, I just don't want to get it wrong and make it worse instead.
@@sleepyjoness for others, if you just injured it the generally the best thing to do is let it be and rest it.
If it's been hurting for months or longer, then yeah, it's okay to have some pain while you're doing your rehab. Once you hit the pain back off a little and let it relax
I swear by it. Has done wonders for me. I do a 60 second hang first thing in the morning and last thing at night....will do it once or twice throughout the day if the opportunity presents itself. I'm 61 years old (6'2"/200bs) and had rotator cliff issues from years of playing competitive baseball. Had to give it up because I couldn't throw anymore but today I can throw like I did 30-35 years ago. Also does wonders for spinal decompression........my agility and range of motion is greatly improved.
Wow! You and I are twins in a way.
I'm 61, 6'2" and about the same weight. I was a LHP years ago, and since I was in my 20s had impingement in my left shoulder. Subacromial impingement, I guess it's called. Anyway, just started my hanging program yesterday, and I'm really looking forward to being able to show off the old howitzer again!
Softball season starts in a month or so. Let's see how this goes.
Cheers from Korea,
Eric
😅iiuhooio😅😅 16:04 😅is the way
Have had surgery on both shoulders years ago due to skiing injuries. Been playing handball for 40 years now. Had more shoulder surgeries for impingement. Couldn’t get my right hand over my head. Started hanging about 6-7 years ago after an Ortho surgeon recommended a total shoulder replacement. Totally pain free and have achieved total and permanent pain relief and increased flexibility. It is the easiest thing to do. Hang for 30 seconds a couple of times a week is all you need. 71 and still playing handball and tennis. It’s great for core strengthening also.
You guys are great, your videos always seem timely for any aches and pains I get. Thanks.
A previous video of yours encouraged me to start hanging. I have had wonderful success! If my side-sleeping habit causes new pain a couple of days of hanging solves the problem. I cannot thank you enough for the information.
I had shoulder impingement; couldn't raise arm in the air or move arm in a throwing motion. Doing dead hangs where you hang on a bar helped tremendously.
Be warned that when you're just starting to rehab the injured shoulder that you will experience a lot of pain when first hanging. I started out slowly, grabbing the bar, and then gradually pulling on the bar with the injured shoulder. Eventually, after straightening the injured shoulder, I was able to hang from the injured arm. Was also able to regain throwing motion.
Still working on reaching back with injured arm, but can at least raise my arm in the air without pain.
Badly broke my humerus and elbow. Hanging has changed the course of my therapy. I found this book about 1-1/2 months into therapy. My therapist thought I might have developed frozen shoulder after the surgery. Started hanging over that weekend, just about 10 times throughout the 2 days. When I went in that Monday and he amazed at the improvement. Count both of us as sold. I’m up to hanging in ten minutes segment of 30 seconds on and off. My therapist also suggested switching up the angle of the hang. I also use a pseudo-booyah stick my husband made for me. Thanks guys. I can see why you are famous.
Bought a pull up bar because of this.. And it works very well.! Every morning and throughout the day I hang On the bar..incredible stretch!!
Shoulder impingement is a nagging injury...haven't felt it in months. Thank you
I got an injury playing basketball when i was tripped from behind. I essentially flipped in the air and landed straight on my elbow, transmitting the jolt straight into my shoulder. What damage this caused I can't be sure as I'm not a doctor, however it hurt for months especially when sleeping. I bought a pull up bar and started hanging and doing pull ups holding the pull up at the top for 10-15 seconds. Within 4-5 months all pain was gone. I can feel the increased strength in my shoulder muscles as well as the soft tissue ie the cartilage and tendons and such.
I never read this book you speak of , I just knew from my experience that in most cases the best way to get over an injury is to build the area back up naturally.
Great channel you guys have and a great resource for healing and maintenance. So many of your examples not so long ago were thought to require invasive surgeries etc. Now we know better. If you put the work in and give your body a chance in many cases it can heal itself. Thanks guys! Keep it up.
Slap tear
I’m a retired pipe fitter. In my early fifties I hurt my weak shoulder. Had pain and discomfort for about 5 years. Within 3 weeks of hanging 1.5 to 2 minutes 4 days a week my pain is gone. I’m 58 years old and about 275#.
I have purchased the book, and have started “hanging” it really does help!! I have tendonitis in one shoulder and had lost a lot of range of motion.
How long did it take? N how often would you do it
@@nathanielduarte1770 I haven't really been as diligent as I should be. Maybe 30 seconds once a day? I put up a chin-up bar near the kitchen, so whenever I think of it.
I do it 3-4 times a week for 30 sec , do 15 tera band pull. Repeat 4 times. Then do his weigh lifts exercises with a 4 lbs weight in 3 sets of 10 , with rest in between. It took 2-3 months to see huge improvement as the space in my shoulder opened up. Hope this helps. I have been going strong for 2+ years or since these guys posted about it the first time around.
@@caligalcan you lift weights and press over your head without pain?
@@dassilbelloul
Every few days I just dangle for a few seconds from the chin-up bar in my bedroom doorway and it gives a nice release and usually a few cracks. I feel like I need that decompression to fight against the gravity and everyday stress on my spine. Gives a nice stretch to the shoulders and triceps, too.
hanging fixed my shoulder issues. i can now ohp 150+ lbs again . i hang every couple of days and do some other rotator cuff stuff that i learned from the channel. now i just need to find a similar fix for my hip!
Hey, I have rotator cuff issues as well, can you tell me how many times a day you did dead hangs and what other PT exercises for your rotator cuff?
I had pain in my right shoulder raising my arm from my side to the height of a table when sitting. A doctor said I had shoulder impingement and sent me to this UA-cam channel. On the first hang, I had to use my other hand to bring the painful side up to the top of a cabinet door. Within a week I could raise the arm without assistance from the other.
After a 5-6 months, I improved enough to forget to hang, but was reminded this week with pain from sleeping on the affected shoulder. I’m hanging again. Thanks Bob and Brad. Thanks Dr. Kirsch.
I got your hanging system about 2 months ago and installed it in my office closet. It is perfect and I go in there a few times a day and hang for about 1 minute. Your system is really perfect compared to other alternatives I had rotator surgery on my right shoulder years ago and it is fine, but my left shoulder often speaks to me. Seems to be feeling better these days. I also do Egoscue and PTX posture alignment exercises and I appreciate that your advice is always consistent with those exercises. Thanks so much!
Had shoulder impingement, hanging worked fine, now no pain at all Bob.!Thank you guys.
How long did it take to be pain free?
It's unbelievable how hanging has changed my shoulder pain, nothing beats it
Another great shoulder series! Shoulder injuries can be so difficult for clients to rehab! Especially frozen shoulder, great advice for patients!

I started doing it when you mentioned it a few years back and bought the books too. It made wonders for my RT tear pain. I couldn’t carry more than 3-5 lbs due to right shoulder pain, since adding hanging and his weigh lifting exercises, I without care can easily carry 15 lbs with ease! BTW the weights I train with are only 4 lbs!!!! So thank you guys for recommending it 2 years back.
Did you actually have tear? I mean does this work for rotator cuff tears?
@@anonymous-ui8xw yes, On my right shoulder. Is as scheduled for surgery and I chose to postpone it and gave it 6 months. That was in 2017 ?.
@@caligal thanks for your reply mine was just impingement and it healed with hanging
Starting in 2020 I was experiencing horrible shoulder pain and range of motion and nerve pain shooting up into my neck and down my arm. I've been to my doctor and they tried physical therapy on me I've been to massage therapy which helped some but would only last for a few days I've been to acupuncture therapy and done several different things but I tried the hanging solution and I've experienced wonderful and excellent results. It's a beautiful thing to find something so simple can fix such an ongoing nagging problem. I don't have that much hand grip strength so I had to hang for just a few seconds at a time in the beginning but even that was helpful. I'm building up my hand strength now so that I can hang longer and the benefits are awesome
I am 67 and It does work. After 10 years about 95% fixed. I now do Starting Stregnth Novice linear progression. I have never lifted before. This morning I squatted 3 sets of 5 at 130 and deadlifted 1 set of 5 at 182 I can now even bench press some. Starting Stregnth is life changing.
wow congrats!
I'm glad you've had success, but is SS really a good idea at 67? I did it at 28 and I found it way to aggressive. I mean, squatting and deadlifting heavy on the same day? Adding weight each workout? I would take it slower.
I cant wait to try this- I ordered my hanging bar. shoulder relief here I come!
I Love this! I have been doing this for the last year and a half...and its changing my world!.. BUT it has other benefits as well... my lower back thanks me every time !! and the hanging literally adjusts my back each time : ) its important to breath and do all of it SLOWLY ..especially when you are done having ... get off slowly!!!
As a weightlifter, I like to hang at least twice a week after my workouts. I def feel it helps.
Glad it helped.
Y’all are amazing. Every advice you give works!!
I do 7 x 1 minute spread throughout the day.it did wonders to my shoulder strength and overhead mobility
I hang down multiple times a day to de-compress my spine. Magically helps with the sciatica everytime I do it. BTW, cool studio!
I totally do this as-well .. was wondering if anyone else did it fort this reason .
I used to do the same until i started to feel pain in my elbows :(
I already had some exercise tubing, so I used the handles to fashion my own hanging device on a door. I found some straps that I made knots in about 6 inches apart. One end I hooked on to the handle, the other when on top of the door. When the door closes, the knot stays on the other side of the door, and one is able to put one's entire weight on the handle. It works well. Now remains to be seen whether I can improve my shoulder impingement. It's been less than a week and I can barely endure it for 5 seconds!
as a mma fighter this is detrimental, but i've been hanging and doing pull ups and slowly just healing. Thank you bob and brad.
I really like when you guys get technical. I took a kinesiology class last semester and I love when I hear new things from yall and am able to connect it back to what I learned!
No way. I was hanging on a pull up bar quite a lot before even seeing this. I actually like it better than the awkward factor of hanging upside down on my inversion table-thing. Cheers.
I have had impingement in my right shoulder for about 2 years. It has made doing lateral raises in weightlifting very difficult. I have had cortisone shots and gone to PT. Hanging I have just started, and after a few days I am noticing good differences and less pain.
Lateral raises destroy your shoulders. I leave them out nowadays, I'd rather do 90% of my old workout than 0%
@@damo9961 Have you find a decent replacement? Or do you just skip isolating the side delts?
Don’t do this if you have frozen shoulder in the first two phases !! I started right away and wrecked myself … You should actually wait and see if it goes away first. This dangerous information if you don’t hear or find out about his warning at the first of the video that you should only hang if your frozen shoulder is in thawing stage. I’ve probably set myself back a mont or two and caused more damage.
Thanks for recommending the book. I bought it. It’s helping..
I found that hanging (not by choice) helps stretch out my neck, but makes it hard to breath while doing it. Now hanging by my thumbs helps my arthitis some, but do not put much of your body weight into it. Have not really much hanging for years, probably to heavy to hang from anything but my hands or feet nowadays...
Whaaattttt
🤣🤣🤣
That first part.... i hope you're joking. Lol
Simple answer is overwhelming YES
"Hey, guys! Wanna hang?"
"Sure!"
(They had no idea)

@@ahmetipek6059 In their opinion of course!
Haa!
Aww they’re actually working together so well now. They didn’t give up on each other in the hard times
it's nice to see UA-camrs not including the fact that they where sponsored just like Hollywood never includes their product placements either. Let's go media equality.
Definetly helps your back.
Oh hanging, I would love to hang upside down, I feel it will stretch my back 💜😇🐕🦺🥑🌲I love you guys from California
I've had chronic lower back pain for over 40 years. A couple of years ago I bought a pair of "gravity boots" that lets me hang upside down from a chin up bar. Once I got used to the rush of flow to my head and learned to relax, the effect on my back was noticeable. For added traction I would sometimes pick up a 20kg plate from the floor and hold it. It hasn't cured my back pain or the underlying cause, but it does give me relief.
@@dinniestones3058 thank you so much for telling me this!! Thank God!! I've always had a guy seeking that would help , for years, and it seems really fun, you are so nice to tell me this I really appreciate it, now I am going to be happy just thinking about getting this I can't wait !!🌲❄🌻☃️🥑😇🐻💜😅🌠🇺🇸🏵🐕have bearded day!!
thankfully, before it was needed, during bath renovation i had a grab bar placed at normal height and a twin one placed up high just outside of easy reach above shower. has proved invaluable to help shoulders and low back. glad to hear it was a smart move!!! years after surgeries for spurs this is still useful. i also keep a jump rope over it to do the pulley exercises for shoulders.
After 18 months of PT didnt help I used diatomaceous earth every nite to stop the pain from a complete tear and retraction of supraspinatus. In 3 weeks it was so much better I cancelled surgery. After 4 months I had no pain and full range of motion. Today the injured shoulder is equal in strength to my uninjured shldr. Stronger than ever before. DE is silica. We need it for everything. I also do hanging from pullup bar.
How much DE pleasE?
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) … there are two types. Make sure you get FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. The other type is poisonous, not for consumption. Please read up on food grade DE consumption on the web before trying.
What a great video I have been suffering for over a year with shoulder pain GP said its not serious because I have full movement i had physio but still have pain sleeping is so uncomfortable.I love working out and lifting weights but I'm now getting depressed and feel like quitting.
I am going to give this a try I can hang at my gym and maybe when I cant I could use my TRX as a substitute.
Thankyou so much love you guys xx
How did it go?
@@77oxf well it definitely is helping just need to stay consistent
I've had pain in my left rotator cuff for 6 months, injured it in my cardio boxing class. I just finished with eight sessions of physical therapy. My physical therapist suspects I have a tear or slight tear in the rotator cuff area. But I do have full range of motion and next week I'm scheduled for an MRI to confirm.
I have pain also when sleeping on my left shoulder and my physio told me to sleep on my healthy right shoulder instead. He also suggested that I hug a smaller pillow with my injured left arm and it seems to lesson the discomfort!
@@jaspervonbach3621 I think this is my issue also I notice that when I do a body combat class and I punch a lot I definitely experience more pain it really is hard to know what’s best because you almost just get used to discomfort all the time especially when you love working out even though we shouldn’t normalise pain
I just started trying this, I am rehabilitating my shoulder from bursitis.
I am only able to do 7 seconds now trying to increase. I am 67 by the way. When I hang my shoulder hurts like hell, but goes away when I stop. So I’m going to keep going
Have shoulder impingement - problem came out of nowhere. Think it was from sitting with poor posture while from working from home. Was worried because I could not lift my arm level with my shoulder or finish a throwing motion. Hanging helped out significantly...even after a couple days. Got the freedom of my shoulder movement back with little/no pain. Now practicing good posture and strength exercises and my shoulder is back to normal. Still hanging every gym session for all of the benefits for the shoulder and spine 😁
How did you get into a hanging position if you couldnt raise your arm vertically? I cant get my arm above horizontal right now. So painful, I could never get it vertically to be able to hang.
@@pixelkat1819 Before hanging, I worked on basic stretches and strength training recommended by Bob and Brad for 2-3 weeks (link below). Focus was on squeezing shoulder blades together and stretching my pec muscles.
Soon as I got more range of motion, I used a broom and did a stretch called the "Chicken Wing"...that helped me increase my range so I could lift my arms up with slight discomfort.
Then started hanging...gradually increasing weight. I started 5 reps for 15 seconds with my feet on the floor...started noticing results in 2 days. Then increased my time to 30 seconds with feet on the floor, gradually increasing the pressure without feeling any sharp pains. Then lifted my feet, bending knees/feet to my butt. Then, hanging with my knees in front/tucked to chest made a huge difference. Each hanging session, i also tried changing the width of my arms on the bar (hands closer together vs. farther apart)
That was my specific situation. Hope there are some kernels of information that'll help you. Best of luck!

@@IntelExcel Adam, thank you so much. It does help. I kept seeing all these videos discussing hanging but I wasnt noticing any comments on the path needed to even get to the point of being able to hang if you couldnt get the injured arm above horizontal. I’m sure this will be of help to many others having the same question. Much appreciated!
I had shoulder impingement for weeks and it has been bothering my sleep but after 4 sessions of hanging, my impingement has not fully healed yet but it does not bother my sleeping anymore ☺️
Great tips. Question (for anyone please): What is the suspected issue if I feel it with my hands in front, praying position n(thumbs around eye level), then I open up my elbows (out) like wings. I feel it in the front inside part of the shoulder. I had been doing wide pull ups and lat pull downs before it happened. 2 out of 10 pain but nagging over a month (of taking it very easy.)
Will the hanging technique help the shoulder?
I just hung a pull up bar. What I learned is that you never want to just go into the stud. You want to cut a 2x8 that spans three studs across. Then, using 4" lag bolts, go directly into the 2x8. The 2x8 is attached very securely to the studs using multiple lag screws. It's much more solid and far safer this way. You also then do not damage the drywall. This also puts you slightly off the drywall. It's easy to do, and winning all around.
Thank you I am hanging and the pain is less. I cannot do pull ups,,,,
Thanks for your studies.

No bar? Slide a book or another solid item under an interior doorway on the handle side to take the weight off the hinges. Put a rolled up sock under each hand, grasp top of door and hang like you mean it. A bar is best and not as boring as staring at the door. 😉
But...some of us💖💖 staring at doors (jk, this is a great idea)
I’ve had it for months and it’s rly hindered strength. Bout to do this everyday all day, I’ll check back in. If it works I’ll devote my life to you guys 😂
hi . any luck? how did it go?
@@anfieldreds_1892 I ended up not doing everyday cuz I’m traveling europe and I’ve gotten lazy. But recently I started doing it for longer, 11 mins a day. I combine hanging leg raises to combat the boredom. It seems to be a little better but still nagging. I’m settled in now, hopefully it fully goes away. Combining other shoulder exercises has also helped. Certainly doesn’t hurt as much as it used to, I fucked it up benching like an idiot. What’s ur situation?
I bought the book and tried the technique using weightlifting hooks to help hold my weight. After 2 1/2 weeks of hanging for 10 minutes per day, everyday I had to quit. My right shoulder ached so bad during the night while in bed I was not able to sleep with out taking tylenol. My left shoulder was fine, only my right gave me problems. I was very disappointed because I had hoped hanging would help my shoulder problems. They just got worse.
I had the same thing happen. I was hanging 10 minutes a day for about 3 weeks and my pain got worse. I just stopped last week. I am going to try it again and only do maybe 30 second hangs 2 times a day and work up from there. Did you try hanging again after taking a break?
@@texasvictorygarden7024 I would suggest you don't try it again. I started "prolotherapy" and have had some promising results. The doctor was not surprised that hanging made me worse, she said my shoulders are too loose. Good luck.
Love your work and follow it with relief and results. I’m a fitness coach. Got a client who says hanging gives her pain. Any thoughts?🤔
Yes it works. Thank you...thank you...thank you.
It hurts so much that I'm only slowly doing a limited time each day. Plus it's hard to find a place to hang even at my wellness center. It seems to help especially i notice on days I can't do it I seem to hurt more.
Karen, look at e.g Amazon for "doorway pull up bar" - after that there won't be any excuses anymore ; )
Thanks for this useful, informative video. Hanging will help me a lot!
Hi
I started the exercises which is mentioned in Dr.John's book, it's about 52days I started the exercises, I was feeling very good and started other heavy exercises too, but now it is about a week I don't know what happened because I feel that my shoulder pain is getting back again and now I feel the pain again!
Is that because I started heavy training such as bench press or pull up with weight or something like that?
or this is because the weather is getting cold?
please let me know your thoughts
How is it?
what was the name of the book? Great video
Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention, Revised & Expanded by John M. Kirsch M.D.
Are shoulder impingement and frozen shoulder the same and how does a rotator cuff tear affect either one? Or all they all three the same?
What about the type of hanging? is passive hanging recommended?
Watch the other video they made. I believe it was passive.
Thanks Bob and Brad
Might fix my crawl stroke. I had to stop...I will try it.
Had 2 minor dislocation in shoulder ( with minimum pain) .now my shoulder is popping and is unstable. I do daily deadhang Up to 10 minutes. For my shoulders,i think, it helped me nothing, At least i got big forearms
How about humeral anterior glide.. should I stop?
@@jeonkyong4702 yes, good point. We have to strenghten upper back too,for the muscle balance.hope it helps
Can we get a video on addressing shoulder impingement in end range (I.e when hanging from a pull up bar)
I bought a pull-up bar because of shoulder impingement. Absolutely painful! But I have to tell you the stretches are incredible and I haven't had it in a couple of months. First thing I do in the morning is hang on that bar. Believe me shoulder impingement is something I don't want to return.!
Wish you well and a speedy recovery
Have you completely managed to eleminate shoulder impingement?
@@TheIraqiforce yes absolutely! Though I have to admit I get paranoid and limit my motion a bit , again not because of pain but more of a mental block. But my shoulders are doing very well and I bought this hang bar that hooks on the top frame of my door, like $20 on Amazon, one of the best things I bought. Just stretches my whole body from shoulders all the way down in the morning. I just feel awake and ready to go, plus I'm 45 so I have to do it just to keep up with everyday life. Good luck!
@@AB-fm2zn Thank you for your reply I suffered some form of rotatory cuff injury/ impingement due to doing dips and it's been over a year it has not been getting better. I will be doing what you are doing alongside the physiotherapy exercises. I will be over the moon if my shoulders get better.
@@TheIraqiforce wow!! Over a year?? Have you seen a shoulder specialist? You may need surgery. I feel for you!!! shoulder impingement has put the fear in me. It was weird because I had it on each shoulder in the span of a year in a half (during covid-19 mostly ) and I did my research trying to figure out how I received the impingement. I don't swim and do other things consistently that would cause shoulder impingement. The only thing I can recall feeling some sort of tingle to my shoulder is when I used to take off my shirts, I have to put my arms consistently over my head. My solution to this was buying workout shirts without sleeves or business casual button shirts. For some reason my shoulders got agitated when trying to pull off the shirt over my head.
I recall the suffering ( impingement) lasting 3-4 months. I was taking extra strength Tylenol before going to bed and simply limiting my motion . Also I was resting a lot! . Take hot showers and let the water hit your shoulder. Get tiger balm. I was a wreck!
I recall watching all these UA-cam channels on how to heal impingement.
Like I said I don't wish that on anyone. Not sure if you've got any advice but if I was in your situation I would probably seek a shoulder specialist! I wish you the best!! 👍👍👍
Absolutely!!
My PT guy had me hanging from the Kat pull down pullsowmtdvar
a lay pull down machine
Bob and Brad. I believe I commented on one of your other videos on this. My right shoulder was injured about 20 years ago. Just over the last couple of years it has been very painful. Last year I had a cortisone shot and it didn't help. Now I can't rise my arm above my chest. Doing everything left handed. I have ordered a pull-ups bar and I am trying this. I am seeing my orthopedic surgeon this Friday. Should I have another cortisone shot to help with the pain while I try this hanging exercise? Thank you for all you share with us.
First thing first a very happy new year to both of you, first time I watch your program ,how you will know that your shoulder are not same by putting your both hands on your waist,that's the time I found it that my right shoulder is high than the left shoulder.now sir I just want to know how can I correct it,I'm 60 years old now.thank you so much.
Recently injured my rotator cuff after fatiging and loosing balance during a dumbell overhead press, didn't let go of dumbell in time and it yanked by shoulder down clicking it like crazy, followed by intense burning. Been hurting for 5-6ish weeks ever since, I'm wondering if it'll be too early to start hanging from bar now?
Thx guys, love you! 😘 😘
Isnt hanging in a neutral grip instead of supinated or pronated even more beneficial?
i wonder this troo!
@@ronniemillsap as far as i know in neutral grip the shoulder joint has even more room but i rarely see anyone doing it
Idk neutral but pronated is a bit like "unnatural" (i hate this term but i cant find other word) like the shoulder is in a weird and not very confortable position (sorry for my english)
This happened when suinated

What if you got a partial thickness tear of supraspinatus?
Can this help with ACR
Joint degeneration? I have shoulder impingement and tendinitis also.
Thanks...I'll give it a try!
Has any other research been done on this apart from the Kirch study ? I do hangs and have done for several years and they do help and agree I would like to see some scientific based research on this !
beefier guy! lifting hooks! GOD I love these guys :)
I started hanging about a week ago, hope it helps.
Did it help?
Well the pain level went down a little but range of motion is still about the same. If l skip hanging for a few days then the pain level starts increasing again.
Ooo so hard to get past the shoulder guarding and getting it to relax.
I read a part of the book that went over what occurs when you undergo subacromial decompression, and it states that it's not uncommon for this type of surgery to lead to permanent disability. If I had this done will it still be possible for me to to do passive hanging? If we go by what the book says is there something specific and safe I could do to figure this out?
And how does one fix partial tears in bicep (1/3 cm) and a 1/4 cm tear in a muscle of the rotator cuff?
TY for your videos. Any recommendation to a hanging alternative, I have an elbow injury and can not hang without pain and possible more injury. Any recommendations?
That's it, im trying for this
I tried hanging for my shoulder pain. I had the most horrific pain when I tried to do the hanging. An MRI shows a tear in the infraspinatus, a tear in the supraspinatus and a SLAP tear of the Labrum from a traumatic injury. Question, is hanging not recommended for a SLAP tear? After viewing your videos I was confused by why the hanging exercise hurt so terribly.
I would like to know the answer to this same question...
Since a labrum acts a suction cup to keep the humeral head in place, a tear in the labrum deprives it of the suctioning ability, causing the humeral head to be very unstable since nothing is really holding it in place. Hanging puts more stress on the already unstable shoulder by pulling down on it, giving a feeling of a dislocation sort of. Therefore hanging is not recommended for SLAP tears.
@@deusbalteum3468 thank you for your response
Does it work for shoulder and bicep tendonitis?
Perfect... I will try it
I cant get my arm past horizontal because of rotator cuff pain so there is no way I can hang yet.
u need to do it slowly and don’t dead hang. keep your feet on the ground. by the book please
Dislocated my shoulder twice and have tears in my rotator cuff. Should I try this along w strengthening exercises?
It can work ?
You think this will be helpful for those who have had shoulder dislocation earlier.?
I have shoulder pain, but never was diagnosed. If it is arthritis, as I am sixty-four, will this help? Been doing the hanging for about three weeks, still have some pain. Help me if you can I'm feeling down!
I have a tiny rotator cuff tear in my left shoulder, caused by shoulder impingement. Additionally, my spine in the T3-T6 area feels like it's always getting pulled to the left. Hanging doesn't hurt, per se, and it does help my back relax, which is a major plus, but after several days of hanging, my left shoulder is so freaking sore. Is that normal?
go slow at first. don’t dead weight. keep your feet on the floor and progress over time
