This channel has been a blessing to me, I was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder in July and was referred to a chiropractor. To be honest, in the 20 short 10-minute visits, he spent more time twisting and pulling on my neck. I've learned more from your channel on stretches and things to help with the pain. Thank you both so much I'm still working on it but have so much more motion and I can sleep at night now. Needless to say, I stopped going to the chiropractor.
I Love this channel!! Y’all have helped me tremendously as I have suffered from RA for 44 yrs! I still have all my own joints! I am not on any pain meds - I was still hurting while taking that nasty stuff, so I went cold turkey as of 2-21-20!!! I am a tough chicken!! Thanks for helping the tough chicken get better range of motion and less pain from watching & following your expert instructions! Love you guys! I tell all my friends about this channel - now they love Y’all, too! It’s a big PT Love fest! 😁😍😇 Keep up the great work!!
Ugh...this all brings it back to me As of 2017, I will know if I ever again experience "frozen shoulder", since I experienced in succession in both of my shoulders. My dominate arm first and much worse with horrible pain and range of motion greatly affected. Thankfully, my husband is also a Physical Therapist and assisted my recovery immensely. Thank you for this video.
Like you, I had one right after another. With the first one, I couldn't get dressed--couldn't do anything at all with the arm--, a jolt in the car would cause me to scream in pain. The two of them dominated my life for two years.
I have frozen shoulder in both. Was unable to move either one for 4 months. Therapy was just a band aid we discovered after 16 sessions. After 2 MRI's the doctor finally shit up each shoulder. Before the shots the pain was unbearable especially at night. I'm finally back in therapy to regain the strength in each shoulder. It's now been 7 months and I'm about 60% back. IT'S BEEN HELL 😢
Thank you both for what you do. You make a positive difference for people. I'm dealing with a painful shoulder right now and your series is helping me puzzle through a lot of it. Pain is dimishing as I slowly work through your impingement exercises.
I had this a few years ago. Took a solid two years to get better. Physio helped a lot. I have tendonitis in that shoulder from an improperly set collarbone break 35 years ago.
Unfortunately, about a year ago my troublesome shoulder journey began. It started in my right shoulder as an impingement syndrome that rapidly turned into frozen shoulder. As my right shoulder began to go through the "thawing phase", my left shoulder started showing symptoms of impingement and the onset of frozen shoulder. Luckily, I have probably 75% function back to my right shoulder as my left shoulder continues to have less than 50% function with impingement type pain. It's easy to get down, but thank you Bob and Brad for your uplifting and educational channel. You truly are a God send.
I did this routine this morning and I'm surprised how much better my shoulder felt today and I did it again tonight so we'll see if I can sleep better. My shoulder feels warmer so maybe that means there's blood flow. I'm pretty amazed. Thank you!
Had frozen shoulder from Dec to August this year; MRI showed tendonitis and bursitis, went through all the exercises, therapy but what worked for me were 3 cortisone injections spread out over 6 months; pain was horrible; couldn't sleep more than 4 hours for several months as I needed to get up to move my shoulder; thankful for the injections; also got a hanging bar to do daily stretches as suggested by Bob and Brad to never go through this again.
Very applicable to me right now. Thanks for your videos. I’m 57, have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and overworked my shoulders while gardening. Both frozen though the one that started out the worst is much better. The other is now very bad. Can’t reach back to put that arm in a jacket sleeve. Pain very sharp with movement or lying on it in bed. Going on for about 4 months now. I’ve just been toughing it out and doing exercises you have shown in past videos like pendulum swing.
@@kzbaby2002 The woman who cured herself by dry fasting had had her thyroid removed, surgically. So her case was extreme. She dry fasted 14 days (worked up to it!). This activates very exotic stem cells, muse cells, and her thyroid regrew. "The Phoenix Protocol" by August Dunning explains the science and practical tips and protocols.
My chronic and fairly severe shoulder pain I had for many years disappeared when a dentist gave me a plastic tooth guard to wear over my bottom teeth . This was to bring my misaligned ja back into alignment. I was amazed that getting my jaw back into place a fraction cured that awful shoulder problem! i guess the trick is to find the true origin of the pain. Clearly it can be something surprising and seemingly unrelated😲😲.
My left shoulder froze about 5 years ago. I lost about 75% of all movement in it, and it hurt like hell. It was diagnosed as frozen. I did have a slight injury to it beforehand--I bumped into a door frame, nothing serious at all. But the shoulder was mad and froze. It took a solid year to heal, and every day was a struggle. Worse, I could feel my right shoulder trying to freeze, just didn't quite commit. But after the left one healed, finally, I never got full motion back. It stopped at about 85-90%. So a few months pass, and the right one, my main one, froze even worse, and would not heal for 18 long painful months. It did health, though, about equal to the other one. Now and again, one of the other gives indication it wants to freeze again, but neither have. It's a long haul if it a shoulder does freeze. With the left, one day I felt the adhesive part of the capsule tear, like dry paper ripping, and that was the beginning of the healing. Physcal therapy for frozen shoulder, for me, didn't help at all. I had to wait it out.
My shoulder has been this way for years! I was diagnosed around 5 years ago and since it hasn't gotten better, maybe even worse, I figured it couldn't be. Got an MRI of the shoulder, didn't seem to show much and I'm still experiencing everything you just explained. What do I do next?? If you could give me some advice I'd be thrilled since I've been in this pain for so long. 🙏🙏🙏
Guys you are amazing!! I am a nurse (living in the Netherlands 🇳🇱) and would love you guys to make a playlist that would help me and other professionals to strengthen the entire body. I hit the wall with a regular fitness routine as it seemed developing only few muscle groups and looking for a list of exercises that would keep my shoulders, back and so on strong...lately i got bursitis because of being to weak and pushing myself too hard:( no idea what sort of exercises i should go for...can you please point me toward a good set of movements or maybe you could put together a playlist with some basics for nurses? Something like a total body strength routine Thanks a lot
I've heard you say that typically if you have frozen shoulder in one, you can have it in the other. I've read online where people are saying that after getting better with one, they now have it in the other. Is there a way to intercept the other shoulder from ever getting it? I began with my shoulder having excruciating pain in January this year and couldn't see the doctor right away because my husband had covid. After he was well, I made an appointment and was not able to see my doctor until February and I didn't hear back from her, so I spoke with nurse and was told she would call me once she new something. In March, I still had not heard from them so I called again and was told to come back to see her again. I ended up seeing another doctor in the group and he thought it was bicept tendonitis and referred me to an orthopaedic doctor. It took until the end of April for insurance to approve my going and he thought I had a rotator cuff tear. I went for PT and they told me that I definitely had a frozen shoulder. I'm beginning my 2nd month of therapy with them. A month ago, I was at 90° being able to raise arm from down my side up. Now, I can do this to 130° on my own & up to 150° with the therapist moving my arm until I reel in pain raising my behind off the table. I really don't want to go through this with the other arm. Should I be doing the same exercises with my other arm to prevent it from encapsulating too?
I have a frozen right shoulder. Been doing PT for 3 months, slowly improving but its still pretty stuck. Thinking of taking a break from PT sine to all pain, no gain and waiting for some indication of starting to thaw before starting up again. Terrified that other will freeze. I have none of the risk factors other than being female over 40.
Dear Doctor I am suffering from pain in left palm ,numbness and prickly pain in thumb and index finger. I was told on diagnosis compression in the lower spine. My age 61 ,diabetic under control please suggest me good exercises
I have trouble with the 2nd and 3rd tests but not the first. I can lift my arm in front of me although it hurts to do so. Can't do the other 2. Is that frozen?
is it right to keep my shoulder at 90 degrees abduction on the verge of the first sensation of pain for several seconds? will I gain degrees abduction like this ??
If I lift a bar and curl it I feel my muscles in my right arm but in my left I feel the mussle in my left shoulder so my left arm is week is this a impingement please
Have you guys heard about anyone getting relief from acupuncture for the frozen shoulder? I had some treatments that helped with lingering pain swelling etc. But it was not early enough to really know how impactful it could have been.
Idk whats wrong with my shoulders.. if its really my shoulders. I guess they're not "frozen" so Maybe I'm beginning to have a weird (& new) MS flare up? On both arms, when I lift them above chest level, they feel Super fatigued.. idk how else to describe it. Not really painful, just really weak. Kinda seems like the joint area but maybe its traps or something.. Its been 3 days of this now & its exhausting trying to put my hair up in a ponytail. Yet I can still do all 3 of these tests, just a struggle to get my arms straight up.. again, no pain just weak. Not really a great time for me to go to my neuro or pcp with this (weak immune system) but idk what caused it or what to do!
Thanks for this video! 3 weeks ago I had a steroid shot for calcific tendonitis that had completely frozen my shoulder. Extremely painful. The steroids with PT has been magical!
I feel like I was told you can only get this once in a lifetime in each shoulder but I was just diagnosed with it again! WTH???? So, you can get it more than once???
As someone who had frozen shoulder after dislocation, I can tell that physical therapy is pretty useless. You can do all the PT in the world and barely see improvement. Diet is the absolute most important target. Cut out most junk/processed foods and avoid excess sugar and your frozen shoulder will improve, probably in a week will already see improvements. Prolonged fasting is probably even better. I'm now pretty sure that frozen shoulder is caused by bad diet/diabetes and not because of injury or whatever, it just triggers on it.
P.S I did a lot of PT initially and it even went worse at times. No matter if I did PT or not, if I ate very clean and did intermittent fasting, frozen shoulder improved in days but complete resolve takes much longer time it seems. So do both, diet most importantly and then stretching/strengthening.
Thanks for posting this! I had been feeling a bit better with stretching, PT, and massage. My diet is usually pretty clean but I had a treat weekend .. and OMG .. the pain is intense now. Going back on anti inflammatory foods as of tomorrow, then a water fast for 36 hours.
What causes frozen shoulder....ummm we don't now so we talk about symptoms which any body whom has frozen pain knows the symptoms....another misleading video....title should be symptoms of frozen shoulder.....Want to know WHAT CAUSES IT ie. Lifting, twisting, bending type of job etc....

It took me a year for mine to thaw so it will get better. Nothing i did helped. Then the other one froze
Did you try the phoenix protocol? Aka dry fasting. I know someone who healed from Hashi's doing it. Good for all sorts of problems.

I would say yes. Since you're doing one you might as well do the other and probably head off some pain. That's what I'm doing
Thank you.

Any exercise for frozen shoulder my father have Frozen shoulder past 2 month he have diabitic 🤔
Love listening to you. Thank you
Cortisone helped so much with my frozen shoulder. But I need some exercises so I am looking forward to more videos on it.
Dear Doctor
I am suffering from pain in left palm ,numbness and prickly pain in thumb and index finger.
I was told on diagnosis compression in the lower spine.
My age 61 ,diabetic under control
please suggest me good exercises
What do you guys think about cupping therapy? Not just shoulders but for the whole body? Thanks 😁💪👍
We’ve added this to our to do list! Watch for the video to upload 😀

Is frozen shoulder common after a shoulder dislocation?

Might help w pain but won't improve ROM, no way
Nice
A dislocation caused mine to be frozen
Can a dislocated little finger that went through my skin plus torn tendon heal ok
Idk whats wrong with my shoulders.. if its really my shoulders. I guess they're not "frozen" so Maybe I'm beginning to have a weird (& new) MS flare up?
On both arms, when I lift them above chest level, they feel Super fatigued.. idk how else to describe it. Not really painful, just really weak.
Kinda seems like the joint area but maybe its traps or something..
Its been 3 days of this now & its exhausting trying to put my hair up in a ponytail. Yet I can still do all 3 of these tests, just a struggle to get my arms straight up.. again, no pain just weak.
Not really a great time for me to go to my neuro or pcp with this (weak immune system) but idk what caused it or what to do!
I only have trouble lifting it sideways after an injury
I think I have a rotator cuff injury. Need help
For the third test I have a lot of pain rotating my right shoulder. Been to the chiro twice and it got better then worse
I just feel my shoulders crack alot when i move them around
Just fluid in the joint and/or tendon scraping a little across pointy bone structures
That happens to me too
Thanks for this video! 3 weeks ago I had a steroid shot for calcific tendonitis that had completely frozen my shoulder. Extremely painful. The steroids with PT has been magical!

Alright. And then what ?
Thanks
I feel like I was told you can only get this once in a lifetime in each shoulder but I was just diagnosed with it again! WTH???? So, you can get it more than once???

what can I do in the hot tub

If you have frozen shoulder you will absolutely know it. Go to an orthopedic doctor and have an X-Ray guided injection into the shoulder.
