It takes guts to share a stupid mistake on an international platform! Showing yet another strength to impress me. The reminder that slow and steady helps the body repair is a valuable one.
As a 70 year old Olympic lifter, yes, your ideas are sound. Everyone wants to crush a sore muscle into instant healing. Massage, relaxation and patience all go together. One without the other won't get it. Good luck, great work.
The worst thing I did was to go to a UK NHS PT (must have been a trainee) who did a few checks and gave me a rubber band to do a few USELESS exercises. All I got on that day was a double car breakdown and a parking ticket. After a year of pain I've discovered these YT vids including Bob & Brad, their shoulder clinch exercise along with stretching exercises worked well for me.
Thank you so much for your emphasis and reminders that we don’t want to crush our muscles here..to take it slow and gently, just to teach our muscles they can relax. Very helpful!
The moment you start to feel the pain is just the last step of a long, damaging process that has been building up for months. So it makes sense for healing to take as much long.
That happen to me I went to pick up a dumbbell and my should popped out and popped back in was painful. Specialist said it popped back in and he didn't see nothing to worry about. I have been scared ever since
Hi Matt, just found you. Thank you for your videos, I am so grateful. I've recently had a right rotated sacrum worsened by a terrible chiropractor. I had been in bed hardly able to walk for about a month. Okay I got that fixed by a great chiro. Then my neck went out. I have a C 4 retrolisthesis as well as a military neck (no C curve) and again, I'm in bed for three weeks. I had to hold my head up with my hands to get out of bed. I found your videos and I can't tell you how much improvement I got from doing your videos! The morning stretch workout parts 1 and 2, your hip and psoas stretches, instant relief. The neck video, awesome. I used two ankle weights velcroed end to end and hung that on my head so I wouldn't have to hold it with my hand bc my right shoulder doesn't work so well either! I've been working out for 30 plus years and I have my share of injuries but your videos are helping so much! Then I saw one of your videos where your say an atrophied muscle is an achy muscle!!! What? It was like a lightning bolt hit me in the head!!! Yes! of course an atrophied muscle would ache, it's shrinking, pulling and lax. Light bulb moment big time! I am able to fix other people ( I've been teaching pilates and fitness for 30 years and I'm a bonified anatomy geek) but, why can't I fix me? Such tremendous relief and enlightenments from that particular video. So I thank you Matt. Keep up the great work.
Tremendous help the massage with the hard ball for rotator cuff pain. I did it as you talked through it and experienced immediate increased range of motion. Felt great!! I’m so motivated now to work on helping my poor neglected shoulders !! Thanks so much for your caring videos. ❤
Matt, don't feel dumb about your attempts to Fix your shoulder! I am a therapist and I did the same type moves with one of my hips!! Twice I tried different crazy moves thinking "Maybe this will get it aligned properly " 😧😱😢🤬...NOT!!!! Then the regret " Now I have a New injury on Top of the other one, and I caused it!!!" Ugg....Thank God we learn, persevere, and get more gentle and patient. Thank you for all your EXCELLENT Help!!!! 👍👍👏👏👏
This has been REALLY helpful. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and have had REAL major shoulder issues due to chronic dislocations and subluxations, and, unfortunately, I spend a LOT of time at the computer as a writer. These videos are really helping because you go into enough detail to actually make them USEFUL instead of just a quick "here's something to try." Thank you for taking the time to explain the processes behind the exercises, I really appreciate it. They seem to be helping more than almost anything I have tried in the past.
This video helped my shoulder tremendously. Thank you! I use a tennis ball with the same massages you demonstrated on this video. I have pain, decreased range of motion in internal and external rotation after a repetitive movement injury on an already weak shoulder. My pain went from a 7 at the end of my limited range to about 2-3 with at the end of my range after doing this massage just once.
Thank You. Not having use of my left arm, this is amazing therapy for my overused right arm.A tennis ball weighs less, and is more malleable. I actually exercise the legs and lower back in addition to my arm while rolling the ballon the wall, changing pressure and direction at will. After the first session, I could raise my right arm over my head again. 👍
You heal my hip.. 2 dr said I need full hip replacement. Rolled out by the 7th day I was walking normal .Rectus fumorus was tight rolled it out. Worked like a champ. Thanks. Now shoulder impingement . Will try Always had great big shoulders. 61 yrs old now. So my yrs of surfing active lifestyle is catching up to me. I feel with message deep tissue excercises I can stay relatively active in my sixties.
Kudos to you for telling people about what NOT to do. That said, being over 50 and having suffered with rotator cuff/full thickness tear injuries and surgery in both shoulders, it would be good to inform people that shoulders are the most complicated and delicate parts of the body, where there is not much bloodflow for repair, and that only orthopedic MDs and physiatrists and physical therapists are really qualified to help AFTER you know what is wrong. I waited two years before consulting MDs, and it was disastrous for my life, and has changed my life ever since because waiting to speak to medical professionals was what I should've done in the first place! Also, what is ok younger than 50 and after 50 should be vastly different approaches. Thank you for trying to help.
Thank you for your insight. With your experience with shoulder injuries, would you say that it is ever possible to fully recover from shoulder dislocations, labrum tears, AC tears, etc. I am 19yo and did a similar thing as you (not to that extent though), I have partially dislocated my shoulder with a labrum tear around 2.5 months ago and only got medical attention a week ago (now i have tendinitis and arthritis too). Can you really recover your shoulder with just physiotherapy, life style changes and exercise? I was a high performance athlete (not competing) so returning to my sport is the most important thing in my life right not, but reading people say all the complications from shoulder injuries has been demotivating and sad. Is surgery really the only option that might or might not help with people who have a similar case as me? And would you recommend surgery? Has it helped you?
@@Dani-il-el.Krech2 I definitely think that if i had surgery sooner, it would've helped me heal faster. Even now 10 years later, I do have full range of motion, mostly, however I have scapular pain for the next 24 hours, if I ever move or use my arm in a certain way, no matter how much physio I had. Once the nerves are damaged, they are likely to be "irritable". So I have learned what I can and cannot do, and I do not move in certain ways, so as not to cause myself pain for the next 24 hours! But you will find your way to recovery, although it might be slow. If it is a full thickness tear, then I think surgery is your only option. My life and use of my arm was only returned after surgery, sort of like a car part "going bad"! Good luck and hang in there!!
Thank you, this will come in handy, going to try this in moderation because I have developed shoulder pain due to tight muscles which is making me miserable.
I also made the incredibly terrible mistake of trying the Mel Gibson, Lethal Weapon move on my shoulder... multiple times. I was in incredible agony before and had gone through many attempts to resolve, and certainly also just made it worse. Quickly learned that was an awful route to go. I appreciated hearing that I wasn't the only one lol.
I found the *zing* in my shoulder :x. ow. Actually I have one spot at the back of my shoulder where if i hit it just right it feels like a tooth being drilled on in my shoulder.
I tripped while going through a doorway once,and it actually felt good on the shoulder! Did it once after that ,it felt good also! Years later I tried it it no longer feels good!!! Thanks for the tips, I will try them!
Can you do a video on dead hangs for "RE-shaping" the acromium upwards to negate kyphosis and gravity in general? It was an orthopedic surgeon who apparently discovered this rehab and said he NO LONGER does shoulder surgery, he prescribes deadhangs from pull-up bar, essentially like we did as primates? I hope I haven't left this comment too soon, but it doesn't seem like you've covered this?
I did the exercises in the previous video while watching this one, so I enjoyed the movie story. Thanks for sharing! I am having the same experience 6 months into having frozen shoulder. Met with many different specialists, and so far received little help for pain and recovery. His story helped me reassess and gain a little hope that there is something I can do to heal.
Barbara Chipman I was doing a gentle handstand while young and healthy over 20 years ago and my shoulder is still messed up to this day. Too bad youtube wasn’t around then!
Thanks for the video! I definitely have some painful shoulder stuff going on. I too have been told that I have bursitis, shoulder impingement, and other things. Right now, with the coronavirus going around I’m unemployed and don’t have insurance to pursue medical help. I have been going to the chiropractor which has helped a little bit, and right before the lockdown, I saw a physical therapist. My question is with shoulder pain does it always go into the arm too? I have pain in my arm down to to my elbow and of course behind my left shoulder blade. I have no idea what I did to my shoulder. I started feeling pain a couple months back and it just got worse and worse. If I’m to hold both my hands up in the air you can definitely tell the difference. It feels like my shoulder is locked. I wanted so bad to do the Mel Gibson shoulder fixed but I know it’s nonsense. I came across your video and I laughed watching it because I literally had thought maybe the Mel Gibson approach would work.
Shoulder blades. Loosen. Refine the motion. That means making it smaller and under relaxation and control. Circles, tinier that that, yes even more tiny, less less, subtle.
I had a dull ache in my right shoulder which went down to my elbow, no idea what had caused it. Sleeping was a problem as I had to position my arm first before my body. Scrolling through UA-cam videos, trying to self diagnose during the pandemic, I stumbled across a video which said that this could be caused by a sluggish gall bladder and a deficiency in bile. It was suggested to try enzymes which included oxbile. I ordered these online from a company I had used before and took one with my brunch and another with my evening meal. The discomfort subsided considerably as I worked my way through 90 day supply. Worth a try and the very best of luck.
Hey guys, was wondering if you can share your knowledge about SC joint centration and stability. Here's my story: mine subluxated anteriorly and superiorly (and stayed that way) about an year ago while doing barbell OHP. It was the first time I did the exercise. Firstly, it injuried my left shoulder (anterior shoulder pain, I believe it was the subscap and/or biceps). However, before my shoulder healed completly I went at it again (sigh) with lower weight hoping to speed up recovery. I felt clicks, no pain whatsoever, and when I went to shower I saw it, sublixation of SC joint. The shoulder pain, I eventually solved completly with various exercises (but mainly shoulder dislocates), but the subluxation persisted. Nowadays my shoulders feel strong and pain free (albeit my lats being really tight), but the SC problem persists. Before you ask, yes, I believe I have a slight ligament hyperlaxity. Thanks you!
Wow! We've only ever seen a couple people with sternoclavicular joint subluxation. If it isn't negatively affecting you and your life, we personally wouldn't obsess over it too much. It just adds a little character. ;-) Thx for sharing your story!
Ah, the stupid things we do when we're young! I do understand the frustration involved when, after an injury you go to the doctor's, follow their advice, go back again, follow the new treatment prescribed, and it's still not better. Honestly, that's where I am now, so I'll watch your shoulder videos and try some new things that don't involve slamming into things or wrenching my shoulder. thanks for the info.
I tried massage, probably with too much force, and likely bruised the tendon. I made it much worse. That was almost two years ago and it is finally feeling better. My problem was an impingement. Ice, pulling my arm down and back, etc. helped but mainly it takes time.
Got the results from shoulder scan told I have tendonitis using hot and coldpack it's too early to say if is of any good all so taking pain relief can be very sore will try the ball thanks
I've found hanging from a chin-up bar to be very beneficial. I do it for 30 seconds and take 2 minutes rest in between reps. I do 10 repetitions total every other day. Trying to work my way up to doing it every day.
IMHO: I think that a lot of people have a similar view, that there might be a "quick fix" to such problems, as often portrayed in movies, by "chiropractors" who make use of some kind of quick attack on the troubled joint pain, and thus causing some kind of miracle cure! Obviously, such "fixes" RARELY work!! Thanks!!!
I too fell for the Mel Gibson ploy but from the movie Air America. Mel Gibson gives advice intensely to a young man about a crush he had on a girl. Gibson tells the young man to tell her how you feel! Tell her everything, tell her how she makes your heart feel every time you see her, how deeply you feel about her etc etc. So I did just that to the crush I had after high school. Needless to say I creeped her out and never saw her again. Thank you very much Mel. Don't mimic the movies, it's just that, entertainment. Great video on shoulder pain, thanks!
And what should we do to save our souls? Repent to God alone and be baptised in water. If not done before our death then we miss God's present and we will be judged on all our sins. Moises killed the Egyptian, king David committed adultery and murder, Paul killed christians before he became apostle: they repent and washed their sins in pure blood that is today Jesus blood that we use in water baptism. Free present from our loving God. To be done during our only life.
i've watch a tone of videos and tried a ton of things and had this pain from lifting and i still lift but it hurts and used this way u say and it's been great i did it earlier today thanx
I find a doorway stretch is good. Place hands on each side of doorway and lean forward. You can also turn so your hands are behind you and you lean away from the doorway.
i just had rotator and labrum surgery on my left shoulder, im 22 i dislocated it 12 times lol anyways i had a very good surgeon everything went well and im still in recovery phase (surgery was three months ago) now my right shoulder is under severe pain but ive never injured it before i will try these exercises thanks for the video!
Doesn't take much to mess up your shoulder blade either, one day I'd been working under a car in an assembly line dropped a nut on the floor, quickly picked it up to meet tact, and heard a little pop sound, like a violin string breaking, in the shoulder blade. Hadn't thought anything about it. 8 years later, the left shoulder blades killing, shoulder are aching, and taking deep breaths reminds me why I left that job.
So important not to overdo it with any kind of self release technique for any muscle. Been there with my hip and suffered the consequences and the anxiety of possibly having done even more damage. I had basically bruised my left glute over the sacrum and SI joint thinking it's a big muscle and just being stubborn (when in fact I was the one being stubborn & impatient 😂). I coupled it with forced hip flexion stretching and strained my poor stiff QL (felt a sharp cold burning nerve pain deep right in front of my spine as well). End result, bedridden for about 2 weeks and symptoms lasting well over a month. Slow is safe and fast is foolish. Just glad I've recovered and past it now 😁
My physio recommended using a ball as well, but this was much easier to follow. Just kneading my fist into the muscles once has a notable change. I'll have to try it out.
Sorry just to make sure I get the "don't do this" part... What we are saying here is... do not do what you see in an action movie. Is that correct? The wisdom in this advice is just mind blowing. Life changing advice right there...
I laughed so hard when you said “lethal weapon” because I immediately knew what you were talking about and I actually tried that lightly because I’m trying to fix my shoulder.
Omg I felt your pain every time you demonstrated how you tried the movie moves! Thanks for sharing ~ I've had a wonky crunchy painful shoulder for a long time.
Great video thanks. Do you have any exercises you can do like this for the muscles across top of the shoulders (trapezius I think lol).... can't see to find a way to get a ball in on those muscles?
I can not believe what you did initially. I suppose it was a great learning moment. Two and a half weeks ago I crashed on my Mt. bike, broke three ribs and tore my rotator cuff. I couldn't move for four days, but as pain subsided and movement came, I began a myriad of easy stretches in areas with the most flexibility. Until now I have recovered to a great degree and have little pain. I have a ways to go, but the recovery time is remarkable. I have used a lacrosse ball for years, usually inside a sock. Great idea. Slow and steady. Common sense, complete motion stretches. Heat and cold. Massage and patience. All learned by prior rotator cuff tears from either baseball or skiing accidents. At sixty-five I shouldn't be recovering this quickly.
Hi, your videos are wonderful, i recently found out that I have a mild to moderate arthritis on my rotator cuff, is there any exercises you can recommend me? Thank you
I liked the background story... because I tried the same things. My difference was instead of hitting a wall or door, I used my body weight and dropped onto my shoulder on the carpet. It actually did feel better the first few times over several days, but then I realized it was making matters worse. By the time I tried number 4, the pain was horrible. I did conclude with a ball like you are using, and I also did some isometric stretching. Liked and Subscribed, thanks from Chicago
I can't see myself jamming my shoulder into any wall, but I've done some dummer things to take away pain. That aside . . . I realize you wouldn't diagnose anyone online but if I told you that I don't have real pain in my upper middle back but it just gets so weak after a few hours of working. I have to stock shelves which involves a lot of bending, lifting and having my arms out putting things on pegs. Cat/cow type stretches take away some of the "pain" but not for long. Would the posture correction program work to strengthen the back muscles involved? Thank you for any advice you can give.
Hi Matt. I have got SIRVA..the NHS doctors in UK don't even know it exists. I wonder why, when I can see so many UA-cam videos already uploaded an year ago (I think almost all of them from US) on the diagnosis and cure. Thanks for your videos. They are really helpful and more than that your demeanor is very relaxing and calming that is very reassuring for me.
I worked out for 53 yrs until a sever herniated c56, ,67and they fused me now my shoulders have froze thawed and then got hit head on and my shoulder has not been right since, I go for veal this Monday .
It takes guts to share a stupid mistake on an international platform! Showing yet another strength to impress me. The reminder that slow and steady helps the body repair is a valuable one.
As a 70 year old Olympic lifter, yes, your ideas are sound. Everyone wants to crush a sore muscle into instant healing. Massage, relaxation and patience all go together. One without the other won't get it. Good luck, great work.
You make me smile, Matt! Love your videos, at 72 trying to stay a little ahead of arthritis, failing but feeling slightly better. Thank you!

Definitely one of the best at explaining things for people. Excellent vids!

Here's my story: mine subluxated anteriorly and superiorly (and stayed that way) about an year ago while doing barbell OHP. It was the first time I did the exercise. Firstly, it injuried my left shoulder (anterior shoulder pain, I believe it was the subscap and/or biceps). However, before my shoulder healed completly I went at it again (sigh) with lower weight hoping to speed up recovery. I felt clicks, no pain whatsoever, and when I went to shower I saw it, sublixation of SC joint. The shoulder pain, I eventually solved completly with various exercises (but mainly shoulder dislocates), but the subluxation persisted. Nowadays my shoulders feel strong and pain free (albeit my lats being really tight), but the SC problem persists. Before you ask, yes, I believe I have a slight ligament hyperlaxity. Thanks you!
Wow! We've only ever seen a couple people with sternoclavicular joint subluxation. If it isn't negatively affecting you and your life, we personally wouldn't obsess over it too much. It just adds a little character. ;-)
Thx for sharing your story!
have you done surgery?
Thank you. I will each more of your videos.
Have you got any exercises to treat Frozen shoulder / Adhesive capsulitis
thanks man, lost my physyo visits about a year ago,enjoy your sharing knowlege been helpful much keep up the good work best to you,thanks again
Ah, the stupid things we do when we're young! I do understand the frustration involved when, after an injury you go to the doctor's, follow their advice, go back again, follow the new treatment prescribed, and it's still not better. Honestly, that's where I am now, so I'll watch your shoulder videos and try some new things that don't involve slamming into things or wrenching my shoulder. thanks for the info.
Thank you very much from a starter of exercising.
I tried massage, probably with too much force, and likely bruised the tendon. I made it much worse. That was almost two years ago and it is finally feeling better. My problem was an impingement. Ice, pulling my arm down and back, etc. helped but mainly it takes time.
Thank you for all the wonderful info, it really helps me.
Rotator cuff! My husband had a surgical repair years after the "event" it was the sub scapular muscle, part of the rotator team.
If you put the ball into a thin sock, you can position it better, especially where you have trouble reaching.
Thanks for sharing, was looking for a solution, like you tried quite a few things that didn't turn-out as expected 😉
Awesome video. Thanks for the background story too.
Got the results from shoulder scan told I have tendonitis using hot and coldpack it's too early to say if is of any good all so taking pain relief can be very sore will try the ball thanks
I’ve tried everything for my shoulders, except a LaCross ball. Thank you. I’ll get back to you when I have something to report.
Thank you for sharing the details of your situation.
I've found hanging from a chin-up bar to be very beneficial. I do it for 30 seconds and take 2 minutes rest in between reps. I do 10 repetitions total every other day. Trying to work my way up to doing it every day.
so i'm guessing u have some amazing grip strenght at this point
First Exercise is at 7:58 not 6:12! Jeez! 2nd exercise is at 10:40 - a little closer.....
Thanks, we've updated the description!
Thank you!
I have a dream... one day I can watch a UA-cam vid without endless waffle before they GET TO THE ****ING POINT!
IMHO: I think that a lot of people have a similar view, that there might be a "quick fix" to such problems, as often portrayed in movies, by "chiropractors" who make use of some kind of quick attack on the troubled joint pain, and thus causing some kind of miracle cure! Obviously, such "fixes" RARELY work!! Thanks!!!
Thank you for your videos! You have helped me so much!
I too fell for the Mel Gibson ploy but from the movie Air America. Mel Gibson gives advice intensely to a young man about a crush he had on a girl. Gibson tells the young man to tell her how you feel! Tell her everything, tell her how she makes your heart feel every time you see her, how deeply you feel about her etc etc. So I did just that to the crush I had after high school. Needless to say I creeped her out and never saw her again. Thank you very much Mel. Don't mimic the movies, it's just that, entertainment. Great video on shoulder pain, thanks!
That's a good one bro. Thanks for sharing.
Should have just told her you’re rich.
And what should we do to save our souls? Repent to God alone and be baptised in water. If not done before our death then we miss God's present and we will be judged on all our sins. Moises killed the Egyptian, king David committed adultery and murder, Paul killed christians before he became apostle: they repent and washed their sins in pure blood that is today Jesus blood that we use in water baptism. Free present from our loving God. To be done during our only life.
i've watch a tone of videos and tried a ton of things and had this pain from lifting and i still lift but it hurts and used this way u say and it's been great i did it earlier today thanx
I find a doorway stretch is good. Place hands on each side of doorway and lean forward. You can also turn so your hands are behind you and you lean away from the doorway.
i just had rotator and labrum surgery on my left shoulder, im 22 i dislocated it 12 times lol anyways i had a very good surgeon everything went well and im still in recovery phase (surgery was three months ago) now my right shoulder is under severe pain but ive never injured it before i will try these exercises thanks for the video!
You may have to work on your posture. Google "upper crossed syndrome."
what procedure did he do arthroscopic or open? did he tighten the shoulder?
Doesn't take much to mess up your shoulder blade either, one day I'd been working under a car in an assembly line dropped a nut on the floor, quickly picked it up to meet tact, and heard a little pop sound, like a violin string breaking, in the shoulder blade. Hadn't thought anything about it. 8 years later, the left shoulder blades killing, shoulder are aching, and taking deep breaths reminds me why I left that job.
that sucks man but trust me whatever damage was done didnt just happen right then. your shit musta be degenerating for quite some time
So important not to overdo it with any kind of self release technique for any muscle. Been there with my hip and suffered the consequences and the anxiety of possibly having done even more damage. I had basically bruised my left glute over the sacrum and SI joint thinking it's a big muscle and just being stubborn (when in fact I was the one being stubborn & impatient 😂). I coupled it with forced hip flexion stretching and strained my poor stiff QL (felt a sharp cold burning nerve pain deep right in front of my spine as well). End result, bedridden for about 2 weeks and symptoms lasting well over a month. Slow is safe and fast is foolish. Just glad I've recovered and past it now 😁
Thanks so much. It is very helpful
Nice thanks.if it work on abused shoulder after years of hard work.
Good advice! Thanks!
My physio recommended using a ball as well, but this was much easier to follow. Just kneading my fist into the muscles once has a notable change. I'll have to try it out.
Good story and helpful advice.🙏
I got up one morning and my arm and shoulder just hurt, cant think how I hurt it ,its been sore for over a year I will try this ball
thing.
I cannot believe he went off of a movie to fix a delicate shoulder...
Sorry just to make sure I get the "don't do this" part... What we are saying here is... do not do what you see in an action movie. Is that correct? The wisdom in this advice is just mind blowing. Life changing advice right there...
Oh, my gosh. You crack me up and I can totally relate.
This story!!! OMG!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I laughed so hard when you said “lethal weapon” because I immediately knew what you were talking about and I actually tried that lightly because I’m trying to fix my shoulder.
I got hurt knitting what to do thanks
Omg I felt your pain every time you demonstrated how you tried the movie moves! Thanks for sharing ~ I've had a wonky crunchy painful shoulder for a long time.
Great video thanks. Do you have any exercises you can do like this for the muscles across top of the shoulders (trapezius I think lol).... can't see to find a way to get a ball in on those muscles?
Funny and informative. Thank you. Stay safe, well, and blessed
Great info thank you. 👍
You're exercises are great!! Thank you!!!
Second time watching ..... and I reckon I may give it another ... great presentation !!
My pain start in my cervical spine and travel to my left shoulder...A good Posture is most important
14 minutes to tell me not to slam my shoulder into a wall and it's good to massage your muscles. Thank you. LOL
Non sense too long.
Ability of an orator.
Triple Ace g
I sped up the video 2 times and cursor forward and still couldn't get through it all. on to next video.
Man just listen, don't advertise your lack of knowledge.
Hi I think I have that same problem I will try it
Thank you
Hi, first time seeing you wearing glasses!
So cool
The one word is thanks💝😄
Very good video.
I can not believe what you did initially. I suppose it was a great learning moment. Two and a half weeks ago I crashed on my Mt. bike, broke three ribs and tore my rotator cuff. I couldn't move for four days, but as pain subsided and movement came, I began a myriad of easy stretches in areas with the most flexibility. Until now I have recovered to a great degree and have little pain. I have a ways to go, but the recovery time is remarkable. I have used a lacrosse ball for years, usually inside a sock. Great idea. Slow and steady. Common sense, complete motion stretches. Heat and cold. Massage and patience. All learned by prior rotator cuff tears from either baseball or skiing accidents. At sixty-five I shouldn't be recovering this quickly.
Hi, your videos are wonderful, i recently found out that I have a mild to moderate arthritis on my rotator cuff, is there any exercises you can recommend me? Thank you
I liked the background story... because I tried the same things. My difference was instead of hitting a wall or door, I used my body weight and dropped onto my shoulder on the carpet. It actually did feel better the first few times over several days, but then I realized it was making matters worse. By the time I tried number 4, the pain was horrible. I did conclude with a ball like you are using, and I also did some isometric stretching. Liked and Subscribed, thanks from Chicago
I can't see myself jamming my shoulder into any wall, but I've done some dummer things to take away pain. That aside . . . I realize you wouldn't diagnose anyone online but if I told you that I don't have real pain in my upper middle back but it just gets so weak after a few hours of working. I have to stock shelves which involves a lot of bending, lifting and having my arms out putting things on pegs. Cat/cow type stretches take away some of the "pain" but not for long. Would the posture correction program work to strengthen the back muscles involved? Thank you for any advice you can give.
Hi Matt. I have got SIRVA..the NHS doctors in UK don't even know it exists. I wonder why, when I can see so many UA-cam videos already uploaded an year ago (I think almost all of them from US) on the diagnosis and cure. Thanks for your videos. They are really helpful and more than that your demeanor is very relaxing and calming that is very reassuring for me.
Its best to do the balls exercises at a corner to easier ease into the ball and relaxe the rest of the back.

This really works, thank you.
I worked out for 53 yrs until a sever herniated c56, ,67and they fused me now my shoulders have froze thawed and then got hit head on and my shoulder has not been right since, I go for veal this Monday .

This made me laugh so much (in a good way). It's funny some of the things we do to get rid of pain before we know better hey 🤦♀️🤣
