Hey Justin, Jackie here....great video! Shoulder pain is what brought me to Dr Brink, thanks to your recommendation last year and I have been improving my imbalances every day since then. I never what to experience that kind of pain. To continue with improving shoulder pain, what can I do first thing in the morning to open up my shoulders. I usually wake up with stiff/tight shoulders from sleeping/gravity. What would be 3-4 exercises I can do? Please keep these kind of videos going! Love the cues and going to do these daily and frequently my friend!
I have similar shoulder issues in the same spot (I have tendinitis from a snowboarding injury 8 years ago) so this hits home for me. If I experience some discomfort with some of these exercises should I avoid them to avoid further inflammation in the area or should I just dial back the ROM so it provides less discomfort? I've found the wall circles to help but other shoulder mobility exercises I've tried in the past seem to make the problem worse. PS - I have Prime Pro as well so will try to incorporate these into my overall program.
Thats because shoulder mobility excercicesis is usually very bad for the tendons in the shoulder. With shoulder tendinitis you should fix rounded upper back, scapula posture, train upward rotation and posterior tilt of the scapula, train muscles pulling humerus down, and stretch humerus down, all to make more room for the tendon for less compression. Then do controlled excentric strengthening of the tendon with the tendonitis.
Front plate raise, focusing on letting the scap lead, not the delts, by tilting it back. And you should focus on tilting the scap back on lat excericses like the row. A lot of people tilt the scap forward with rowing but it should tilt back. But you have to remedy kyphosis if you have it or the scap wont be able to perform that motion fully.
If you have winging you should put in special serratus anterior work like the scapula pushup trying to lead with the lower part of the scap so its not tipping forward. And stretch the pec minor. If the pec minor is tight it will pull the scap in anterior tilt. If you have both kyphosis and winging you have some serious issues.
That is just nasty on the tendons in the shoulder. As you can read in comments person with tendonitis gets pain with this. And that means youre fraying and compressing on the tendon. Person who hasnt YET developed tendinitis doesnt feel pain but he will.
These. Lower trap exercises, and red light therapy are saving my shoulder after an injury.
What specific red light are you using?
Thanks for going into detail on these. My shoulders SUCK! But hopefully this will help.

Hang from a bar 5-10 minuts a day and fix your shoulder and spine ☺️

Johan Hansson can you give examples of posterior scapula tilt exercises that will pull scap back to rib cage. Thank you

Thanks Johan, I'll try that out. I have pretty significant kyphosis which leads to a lot of issues and really bad winging which is a tough one to fix.
If you have winging you should put in special serratus anterior work like the scapula pushup trying to lead with the lower part of the scap so its not tipping forward. And stretch the pec minor. If the pec minor is tight it will pull the scap in anterior tilt. If you have both kyphosis and winging you have some serious issues.

What are you saying? Is this a good practice or no?
Justin, stop yelling
