I can tell you that I did these exercises and became aware of my posture by tucking my pelvis, lifting my shoulders and dropping them into the pockets throughout the day and within two days my shoulder blades are now even. Your daily posture is definitely the clue.
I felt tight and noticed my dominant hands shoulder was lower than the other. Found this video and it made sense. After a day at work (desk job) focusing on my posture, I was able to pinpoint where my pain was coming from. I was able to lay back over my foam roller, take a deep breath in and release with a deep pop and sense of relief! My pain was instantly gone and my shoulders are even! Amazing!
So hard to find experts with the right answer these days. So far this is the best explanation I have found that explains the mechanics behind sagging shoulder. Excellent video.
Thanks... it's been about 12 days since I was here and I just keep singing "Brad and Bob, the two most famous, physiotherapists..." to complete strangers...
I've been dealing with drop shoulder of my dominant arm for about three years now. The pain and discomfort has become a big part of my life. You can only rub dirt on it and go on for so long. I have a feeling you two just made a huge improvement on my Quality of life!
I feel your pain one of my balls hangs lower than the other(i beleive it is the left but they do shift around) ill try rubbing dirt on them again but it does not seem to help. This is really driving me nuts🤣
You are absolutely right .. I use the mouse for hours and hours in the wrong way .. I usually extend my arm and rest my elbow on my desk to use it, thinking that is more relaxing. Thanks for the advice.
WOW!!! My latest physical exam revealed yet another problem - uneven shoulders. I watched your video yesterday and did the "put my shoulder blades in my back pockets" exercise multiple times throughout the day. Both my husband and I noticed this morning that my shoulders already appear even! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for providing such valuable information.
Thank you so much! I spent a ton of money going to a chiropractor who didn't solve the problem at all when I could've just watched this! Wish I had seen it sooner.
I don’t comment on videos much but come across your channel and thought I’d check it out. I have suffered with my back and a dropped shoulder for about 8 years. I did these exercises for a couple of weeks and I feel so much better. Also my shoulder doesn’t droop anymore and looks almost normal. Thank you so much.
Hi , i am happy that you get the results, i have small request can you please let us know what exactly you followed, and for what duration you did it and how long it took for the results. Thanks in advance.
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "swimmer muscle imbalance" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Reenrianna Imbalances Redemption - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
I didn’t measure or anything, but even doing that stretch a once for a minute or so already made a difference it look like! My should still aren’t completely even, but they’re a lot closer I feel. Definitely gonna keep this up for a while and I hope for more good results!
absolutely amazing. i did one stretch to the side and my shoulders are now level when i squeeze them together. really wish my non-dominant shoulder would stop giving out when i lift, though :'(
You should start with your mom dominant side and then do the same amount with your dominant. That way your dominant doesn't do more than your non dominant can.
What helps me it’s I don’t use bars in the gym I only use dumbbells so I can work my shoulders individually and that way I train separately, It really helps me 👍
This has really helped me. I only just realised I had a problem a few months ago. my non domenant shoulder felt so much different from the other. I will try these excises. Thank you!!
My dominant shoulder (right side) is higher than the other, likely due to the heavy school bag i used to carry everyday only on my right shoulder in high school and i've been trying to correct this for a long time now, i've been working out but it's not making any difference. Big thank you for this video and I hope and pray it will help me alot in fixing it
Thank you for being on UA-cam. A friend of my notice that I was out of liniment with my shoulder. Very upset! But watching you guys gave me hope. Thank you❣
I'm left handed, but I use my computer a lot, and I use my right hand on my mouse, in a posture similar to the posture that you said is wrong. This is definitely the cause, and I thank you guys for getting me on the right path. Love from India
My right shoulder is about 4 inches lower than my left. I have also had 4 surgeries on it and one on the left. I have did hundreds of therapy and it is what it is.
Awesome! Bob and Brad, thank you so much for doing this video! My shoulders have been uneven for years and I've watched several vids by other people but they only mention the tight trap raising 1, which isn't my issue. My right shoulder is dominant and it is lower and when I work out it affects numerous of my muscles. ex: my right lateral delt is larger than my left, but my right trap and pec are smaller than my left.
@@alexiscape8750 same exact issue. annoys the shit out of me when I work out because I feel that my left side isn’t getting the same pump/work as my dominant hand. super fucking discouraging
Very helpful. While I am going to a chiropractor for T.O.S. and they have taught me some of the same exercises you show here, no-one has ever mentioned the obvious unevenness of my shoulders. Now I understand a little better why they aren't level. I will definitely try your computer mouse tips since my shoulder tends to rise up during this activity.
This is going to blow your theory. I use my right arm for writing, typing, combing my hair etc, just about everything, but my right shoulder is higher rather than lower I am slightly left hand dominant
Thank you very much. Recently I have noticed that my dominant shuolder was much lower and I thought it had been developed naturally. I was terrified. Now, as you explained the reason I'm not worried anymore. Thank you for making this vedio I hope these exercises will help
I'm right handed and my left shoulder/trap is really overdeveloped compared to the other. I've had pain from this every since childhood. Gets excruciating if I sit down and work at a desk for too long. I was taking piano lessons from elementary to high school, and it would often get excruciating to practice due to my left shoulder, and I was put off practice due to that. Finally I have an explanation (and hopefully a fix).
It is physically impossible to be at your desk holding your mouse at a 45 degree angle.if you have armrests they need to be below the table meaning your arms will be at an acute angle. If I raise the arms to level with the mouse pad the arm rests get in the way making me have to reach forward. If I remove the arm rests my arms hang by my sides making it impossible to hold a 45 degree angle as it is obtuse at that point. I have never seen a computer desk setup that allows me to sit with correct posture, it would require very specific office equipment that I nor many others can afford.
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else is searching for forward head posture muscles involved try Neck mender blueprint ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Thank you Greatly!! Since starting to work from home my posture (neck and right shoulder) have been suffering - these techniques and lessons aided tremendously.
Bob and Brad, I noticed that a lot of people have this problem shown on 4:08 I have this problem too! I'm an artist (drawing) and last year I started to have impingment in my brachial plexus because my back and shoulder muscles couldn't hold my collarbone anymore and it starts pressing my nerves. I'm working out 4 times a week and my shoulder is less uneven, but my collarbone continues to be misaligned. Could you guys do a video about this? Putting excercises to help people heal of this condition? I would be so grateful! Best wishes for you guys, you are the best fisio on internet!!!
Awesome! A few weeks ago I discovered I have even shoulders and that's the reason my left front delt hurts during presses and flyes in the gym. Definitely gonna give this a try.
@Valiant Maverick Good answer, but I'd like to add some more info to it. It's not just your back muscles that don't pull your shoulder back enough, it also may be you chest muscles that are too tight and are therefore pulling your shoulder forward. If you reach for the mouse, not only will your back muscles stretch but your chest muscles will tighten. So in addition to strengthening your back muscles, you need to stretch/loosen your chest muscles. And yeah, scoliosis can be a factor too. You can fix it as an adult as long as it's not genetic, but caused by muscle imbalances.
24 and just now finding out my pelvis is a few milimetres rotated to 1 side, little bit of scalpular wing difference in shoulders, slightly more muscle on my right muscle lat on the back. I always wondered why my right shoulder has more muscle even tho i'm left -handed. I already have my entire life to fix and now i need to go chase this stuff. goddammit!
My advice is to do what these guys say. I recently watched the newest shoulder impingement therapy that they demonstrated, and my shoulder is already about a billion times better since adopting those strategies. which, by the way, are pretty easy.

Thanks guy, just with simple tips im improving my posture, moving the mouse clouser to my shoulder helps me a lot, cheers from Argentina
Hello, I just love you guys! I'm a massage therapist and refer clients to your channel all the time. After a trip to Disney, too many rollercoasters, a heavy shoulder bag, and a 20 hr drive, my dominant shoulder is in a lot of pain. It's lowered and in certain positions, with head rotated to affected shoulder, feels like a couple ribs and clavicle are pressing on brachial plexus. Nerve symptoms never make it down the arm, whew. Are there any more videos or specific strengthening you can recommend? So very appreciative!
I’m sorry I’m sorry wait wait wait hollllld up.. I just got ten seconds in and had to subscribe after that opening jingle. Please proceed.. *Presses play button*
Thanks, guys! Learning the causes for the dominant and non-dominant shoulder issues was enlighteninf! Now I know which stretches I should be doing the most :)
Great tip on computer mouse posture, my right scapula is definitely as they describe and I reach way too far forward with mouse arm, and will need to correct it. PC gamer for over over 20 years 😅 has lead to right side weakness/pain. I have some work to do on that scap.
I have had shoulder pain leading to chronic headaches for years somebody the other day identified my right hand side shoulder is lower and I am hoping if I do the right thing I can reverse this and be out of debilitating pain.
My dominant shoulder is my right. It is about 1-1.5 inches above my left. It’s bad and I struggle with knowing that I have it. I try to have good posture but it doesn’t help. I may have minor scoliosis. Is there any hope for me to fix this or is it going to always be there?
I developed a severe shoulder imbalance due to working out heavy for several days, unaware that I had separated the left shoulder. Eventually the left side started to stiffen up and become painful. I laid off for a few weeks, and when I went to start workout out again, my strength had tanked, and the muscles were no longer firing evenly in my upper body. When I'd do lat pulldowns, the left side contracted way harder, and when I'd bench press, the right side would contract harder. I had no idea how to fix the imbalance so I just kept lifting, and eventually I injured the right side, which was overcompensating for the weak left side. I have dealt with this for almost 5 years, and I have now discovered that the key to fixing my imbalance issues is to do very high volume lat pulldowns (all rep ranges, including working up to a 1 rep max each session), while initiating the movement with the right side, and keeping heavy tension on the right side throughout the entire range of motion. For whatever reason, the left side got forced back and down, and healed that way, and the right side is forward and up. Keeping the right side loaded from beginning to end of each rep keeps it pinned back. I do everything in front of a mirror to watch form. My balance issues are improving, but it will probably be a long time until I am 100%. Unilateral moves are a good idea - stuff like 1 arm lateral raises, but when one side is contracting way harder like in my case, you have to include compound moves where the weak side is forced to work harder.
@@dannygee5789 depends on what kind of issues you're dealing with. I had an extreme imbalance in my shoulders. Couldn't really give you advice without seeing what's going on.
PLEASE HELP, I'm desperate here. I have this exact problem, where my right shoulder is lower than my left. I am right hand dominant. Does this mean that my right shoulder is too low, or that my left shoulder is too high? I have been doing the stretch where you pull your neck to the side that you show in this video for over 6 months, every day, and I see no difference. I am so frustrated. I always thought that my left shoulder was elevated. But perhaps my left is normal, and my right is too low. Would the 2nd exercise you show in this video with the band help? I haven't tried that.... Also, as a side question; I sleep on my left side sometimes, which is what led me to think that my left shoulder was raised. Does sleeping on your side cause raised shoulders?
I have the same problem I sleep on one side most of the night. Due to know if that's what's causing the uneven shoulders? Should we switch sides? Or sleep on your back
Love your channel. It helped me alot with some injuries. Been a follower for long time. Can you please make a video about "my left shoulder pulls itself forward when i try to do any workout while sittingor standing, like bicep curls,overhead dumbbell press etc." My physical therapist couldn't help neither any chiropractor so far and there isn't any video on it on UA-cam either. Thanks i highly appreciate.
This helped already... I was down 3 or more inches and 15lb weight with a few shoulder tucks brought me up 2+ inches. My sister is a massage therapist and she checked my scapula too. Good stuff here thank you!
no, strengthening your back and arm muscles will only do you good. however, you might feel as if theyre uneven when youre exercising. like for me i always feel biceps more on the right because thats the one thats higher
What if they're both raised? Does the same apply? My shoulders are raised and painful when I wake up in the morning. And generally also when you look at my posture, shoulders are high up unless I actively and consciously pull them down (and can hold it for couple of minutes only) :(
bob and brad look like they tell non stop dad jokes at home lol

My balance issues are improving, but it will probably be a long time until I am 100%.
Unilateral moves are a good idea - stuff like 1 arm lateral raises, but when one side is contracting way harder like in my case, you have to include compound moves where the weak side is forced to work harder.
bro so I should use my weak side more ?
@@dannygee5789 depends on what kind of issues you're dealing with. I had an extreme imbalance in my shoulders. Couldn't really give you advice without seeing what's going on.
These guys are legends
Helpful! Thank you!
Tysm I am on vacation with my family from my mom's side and we are going to take a family pic tomorrow now i wom't look weird.
Good info-you guys are rockin’ it!!
Thank you so much my right shoulder is down because of using mouse too much .. hope it'll be alright after the shoulder blade exercise
PLEASE HELP, I'm desperate here. I have this exact problem, where my right shoulder is lower than my left. I am right hand dominant. Does this mean that my right shoulder is too low, or that my left shoulder is too high? I have been doing the stretch where you pull your neck to the side that you show in this video for over 6 months, every day, and I see no difference. I am so frustrated. I always thought that my left shoulder was elevated. But perhaps my left is normal, and my right is too low. Would the 2nd exercise you show in this video with the band help? I haven't tried that.... Also, as a side question; I sleep on my left side sometimes, which is what led me to think that my left shoulder was raised. Does sleeping on your side cause raised shoulders?
I have the same problem I sleep on one side most of the night. Due to know if that's what's causing the uneven shoulders? Should we switch sides? Or sleep on your back
Thanks, I thought its a big thing not knowing it is common and nothing to be worried about ... 😊💜👍
Loving the value you two provide. Also enjoying the production improvements (specifically audio).
Where are you based?
Please can you guys make a videos on Sprengel Deformity
Love your channel. It helped me alot with some injuries. Been a follower for long time.
Can you please make a video about "my left shoulder pulls itself forward when i try to do any workout while sittingor standing, like bicep curls,overhead dumbbell press etc." My physical therapist couldn't help neither any chiropractor so far and there isn't any video on it on UA-cam either. Thanks i highly appreciate.
Does dumbbell shrugs help ?
This helped already... I was down 3 or more inches and 15lb weight with a few shoulder tucks brought me up 2+ inches. My sister is a massage therapist and she checked my scapula too.
Good stuff here thank you!
Just one question.
My uneven shoulders dont give me pain. I only want to know if it will cause injuries if i go to the gym?
no, strengthening your back and arm muscles will only do you good. however, you might feel as if theyre uneven when youre exercising. like for me i always feel biceps more on the right because thats the one thats higher
What if they're both raised? Does the same apply?
My shoulders are raised and painful when I wake up in the morning. And generally also when you look at my posture, shoulders are high up unless I actively and consciously pull them down (and can hold it for couple of minutes only)
:(
Yeah man.... That's what i was searching for..... Thank u sir that's great!
