3 Easy Self Tests For A Rotator Cuff Tear
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2022
- There's three easy self-tests for rotator cuff tendon tears. One is if you have pain when coming up somewhere in about this range, it could even hurt all the way up. Then you probably have a rotator cuff tear. Could be other things. But two, if you reach behind your back this way and it starts to hurt there, too. That's more evidence that you have a rotator cuff problem.
And three, if you just go and poke the edges of that, both, there is the acromion right off the edge of the acromion. This part of the bone of the shoulder blade is where the rotator cuff tendons. So on your body, if you just get on to your shoulder, there's my acromion that can feel the bony edge and maybe just fall a little far away from it, just described below it.
And you poke there all around the edges of it. And then you compare that with your other side. If the side that you have the tear on is very tender and there's usually one spot, maybe a few spots that are very tender that's consistent with a rotator cuff tear.

THIS GUY HEALED ME FREE ON YOU TUBE!! I had a bad rotator cuff tear and the doctor wanted to operate. I wanted to try non evasive therapy first however money is short and I can’t afford insurance. I found this guy and his exercises not only gave me immediate relief to get through my work day as a baggage handler but in a few short months I regained complete range of motion with little to no pain at all!
Awesome
Probably ? No dude! It could be an impingement for all these. A tear is worst case scenario.
Can you explain the difference
@@jadenmunoz- A tear is a physical rip somewhere in the cuff.. An impingement is a pinched nerve.
@@HardRockMiner No. Impingement is not anything related to the nerve, it's related to the tendon, if it's even real at all
4th Test, if watching him poke his shoulder makes you wince and you just want him to stop, you have a tear. Stop....stop....youre making my shoulder hurt more 😅. I gotta call my doc now.
Thank you doctor, sharing. God bless
You are very welcome Sergi! Thank you for subscribing!😊
Can u tell me in which video he explain the exercise
2 out of 3 but Doc wants me to get PT before getting MRI. I'm in a lot of pain!
I have the first two. Third is very little tenderness, about the same on both sides.
Your 3rd suggested test is not very clear.. Would you be so kind as to do a video showing more details on how to do it properly?
I have all these problems, what should I do, and my left arm does not move and is in pain and crackling in the shoulder 🌹🌹Thank you very much
Thank you my brother
Thank you, bro!
I am scheduled for MRI next week and I don't do well with surgeries or pain medicine!
Thank you for that.
Appreciate u fam 🙏 💯
I appreciate you bud.
Hey Suesette, thank you for letting us know! We appreciate the support!
The reach to the back is very accurate. It hurts.😢
Hi Cathy, we are so sorry you are dealing with shoulder pain! If you're interested we have a rotator cuff tear playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here:

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
How is it fixed video please.
Hey user-GF, here is playlist on rotator cuff tears that could help you.

I can left my arm straight up…but behind my back hurts like hell, but no pain to the touch…still rotator cuff?
Thanks for your videos. I had all of these symptoms a week ago. My shoulder feels almost 100% pain free now, but it's still a bit tender on my lat and a bit into my armpit. Is this normal and when do you recommend me getting back to working out and training?
how is the pain now
I'm all good now. Just stuck to calisthenics/bodyweight workouts (strict pushups, air squats, etc., for a couple of weeks and I was fine. Shoulder is good now. @@hareshkannaranofficial9447
The arm that does the poking hurts, but when it’s poked it doesn’t hurt 😂😂😂 I’m 99% it’s a rotator cuff issue but all the tests I do I pass easily with no pain just tightness. When I poke it, it’s feel amazing though 😂
Any idea what would be causing pain on top of shoulder between kneck and where your pointing? Feels bruised, but it's been that way for months
How can you tell the difference between a tear and just a strain or pulled muscle / tendon? Mines been improving a lot in just a week n a half just by keeping it still and Shrugged up like your prior videos stated to do.
Your a absolute genius so not over the top. Gee thanks but save Einstein
What if it only hurts when I reach behind me or put my arm behind my back
Same for me, did you get to know what causes the pain?
What if it pops a lot more now and is painful?
Also painful knots along my shoulder blade and one on side of spinal cord?
more likely Shoulder Impingement
I have hypermobility and it hurts in all those ways both sides
What can you do of this
Hi doc, iam having a cuff injury since really long, i am not feeling any pain and iam doing all my workouts fine and nice without any rejoining surgery, is it ok?
Hey President Homie! We are so sorry to hear that you're dealing with a rotator cuff injury, you may have healed enough and can do a lot more while being pain-free. Contrary to popular belief, surgery isn't always required. With that being said, we aren't able to give you specific advice as we don't know the entirety of your diagnosis.

Hello Doc, My right shoulder has a very very mild pain and both of my shoulders click when ever i put my arms above my head will this clicking go?
Hey Kuno! You should have a reduction in shoulder clicking if you improve the mechanics in your shoulder. Shrugging exercises often do the trick to fix the mechanics. We talk all about this exercise and more in our rotator cuff playlist here:

FROZEN SHOULDER
I have all of these problems. Ive had it for a while and struggling to drop my arm down naturally some times without pain. I went to a 'specialised physio' today and he said he thinks it is my bicep tendon but im showing no signs at all from those symptoms? Im waiting for a consultation with my private health care gp as I've been fobbed off before on the NHS for it to turn out to something more serious!
Hi ItsJustKimber, We're sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with your arm and the challenges you've encountered while seeking a diagnosis! It's wise to explore different opinions, especially if you're not experiencing relief from the recommended treatments. Your health and well-being are important, and seeking a consultation with your private healthcare GP is a proactive step. Remember that finding the right diagnosis and treatment plan can take time, but we hope you'll eventually get the answers you need for effective relief.🙌
What if you hurt all over
What should I do when I feel my acromion pain ? What’s a treatment ???

That’s not really true- most of what you said can easily be a sign of bursitis/tendonitis. Obviously, those two things go hand in hand.
Yep I had an CT scan recently and it is Tendinitis and a partial tear.
Usually a tear doesn’t come with tendinitis, interesting.
fuck i have a tear 100% and have had it over years.. so i guess surgery and no working out for 6 months
Who else looks like an idiot right now? 😅
