I’ll be retiring from the physical therapy profession in the next two months after 42 years. What I have enjoyed over the past few years is watching all these “younger” PT’s on Y tube. E3rehab is one of the best. Love their information and how they present. You will not find more up to date info explained in such an un-biased way. Wishing you all the best!
@ still feel pain in my left shoulder(did lots of boxing when I was younger) so I assume it’ll take a while, but at least I can actually work out my shoulder with these.
@@MackieMaxxing hmm I took up boxing 8 weeks ago and hurt my right shoulder sparring without a warm up. I only felt it when I came out the ring. Right at the back of the shoulder. I couldn’t lift it too high that night and it hurt prob 7/10 pain wise. Iced it and massaged it that night. This was on Friday. Sat and Sunday I did these exercises and it feels better for sure. But I’m not sure how long I should lay of boxing and weights for
@@Savimbi_ it’s always situational depending on how bad the injury, but I’d overcompensate for how long you should stay away, things like that can last a lifetime if not correctly taken care of. Don’t do anything that cause pain, and wait some weeks for after the pain is gone just in case.
Seriously, this has saved my life. I played college football and had shoulder surgery in 2005. Pin, rotator, labrum, capsule shift etc. 2011 dislocated again and tore more. No surgery again. Just treat by lifting and strengthening. This past year got to point where it was unbearable. MRI shows total rotator cuff tear, arthritis and dislocated bicep tendon. Almost had surgery but just decided to try to see if I could do anything to fix. My shoulder was getting stuck and almost couldn't move. Had to do things to get it unstuck, total pain. Did this exercise and literally within a week, the pain I had is nearly all gone. I really cannot believe it. I continue to do this with assistance of my kids to rotate it for me because my shoulder won't make that motion by itself. I can literally feel the tendon almost sliding into place. This is amazing!!!!
This is a very comprehensive video for shoulder issues in general. I use these daily and have helped a lot of people. Great job E3! Keep putting out quality content!
I can't tell you guys how much I love your channel. I love you guys so much! Thank you for everything you do and the knowledge you bring. I'm so grateful ❤
Great information on this channel. I recently re-injured my rotator cuff and having to go through another long rehab period again is very depressing and frustrating.
I have damaged my ac joint shoulder cartilage while doing this shitty double bar dips now I cannot do any workouts n this is literally depressing to me I m gym freak n this injury has taken a toll to my mental health I m going through lot of pain and breakdowns 😢I think it was my destiny
Yeah I feel you guys, currently had moderate pain in my shoulders for the past year and haven’t been able to workout my upper body much. Sad days but we got this brothers
I pulled a heavy sofa too quickly and got a rotator cuff tear. It's been 5 months now, still now completely recovered. The only way forward is to follow the exercises shown in this video
I fell on my shoulder and have tears and also had old tears and the more physical therapy I did the worse it got, was better to leave it alone now just doing light exercises - think these are very aggressive
I got mine from poor sleep posture and also moving into a new house. Tingling on my scapula , tightness and weakness in my right arm along with trapezus tightness and teres Tingling
Right Shoulder rotator injury for 15 yrs, 42 yrs old now. I've been working on it for 8 months nonstop. Wasn't able to do these exercises with 1 pound dumbbell at start now able to do with 15-20 pound dumbbells. I feel it won't be fully repaired ever. All the young gym goers, don't just jump on bench and bench pressing or dumbbell pressing without proper warm up every single time cuz that's what I did in my younger years. Proper technique is MUST. Shoulder injury can last all your life.
Same thing happened with me. Im 28, have had shoulder pain for a couple of months. Remember doing bench press a bit too quickly since I had to go somewhere, have had pain in my right shoulder while lifting since then. Do you recommend any exercises or recovery routine?
Get the book "Shoulder Pain? Solution & Prevention". Also watch the videos from Precision Movement and the El Paso PT doctor on this topic. Also very thorough. Begin to improve your neck and back posture, become aware of your movements, and give yourself a good year of rehab. If you're consistent and self motivated, you can do most at home. A session a month with someone else always helps to gain more tips and keep you motivated in a community.
@@Alduizardexactly two year ago I injured my ac joint in shoulder and my gym life got over bcz I had torn my cartilage and once the cartilage is gone it's gone their is no cure for it and u think wat my mental condition would be 😢
Hey did you maybe find out if rehab for overuse is the same? It doesn't make sense to me that it is. How could more exercise be a solution to too much exercise?
@@glacialimpalaOveruse is different from rehab, If I Always do Bench Press my chest gets stronger for more weight but the shoulders dont and Then the shoulder gets overused but These excersices strengthen the shoulders and are Not meant to be done with excessive weight, its rehab and strengthening of the shoulders Not building them bigger and using more weight
@@DarthVader-r5q Not every shoulder pain is from weakness in non-shoulder-main exercise, sometimes it's inflammation of the tendon or some sort of narrowing around it, which is why I expressed doubt about *any* added exercise, rehab or not, being helpful.
Amazing. I was looking for this for a long time. The research is what sold me. I’ve had surgery for rotator cuff tears on both shoulders. The right seems great but the left never healed properly. Thanks so much.
I train my shoulder with bench press, dips, pushups, pullups, rows, ohp, lateral y raises and facepulls in the gym. The vid seems to confirm to me that i have most functions/patterns covered 👍🏽 just want to still improve my range of motion for a more effective ohp, so I'll probably start to sprinkle in some stretches as exercise snacks during the day.
This is exactly what I needed. This coming Friday I have an appointment with a physiatrist to set up a program to restore mobility and reduce pain in my right shoulder. I was happy to learn that exercise is very effective, even in the case of full rotator cuff tears. I don't know the extent of the damage in mine, but I'm confident now that I'll be able to be more comfortable and functional. My situation is somewhat complicated by the fact of having an impingement in my neck at C4, on the same side as my sore shoulder. This has existed for years and when I pass a threshold for activity with my right arm it triggers off spasms in my trapezius all the way up to its attachment on the back of the cranium. And damn, does that hurt. Nevertheless, I know my limits as far as exercises from years of dealing with this and armed with the new info you've provided am confident I can at least make some progress. I know I'll never be able to do what I did years ago, but I'm still in better shape than most people my age (68) and I'll stay active no matter what. Thanks so much for this excellent video!
I’m a 67 yr old man that’s been doing pushup reps & forward then reverse shoulder curls for 5 years, since first being diagnosed with a very painful rot. cuff tear. Now, I do 50 pushups a having no pain. This I do every 3 or 3 days, while watching tv. It’s a piece of cake!🍰
Ugh! Post menopausal and I have rotator cuff pain from planking (I’ve been doing planks for a long time). I always go to PT prior to seeing my PCP. Sadly, It takes a lot longer to heal the older I get. I’m going to try these exercises. I wish there was more information on post menopausal exercise for the average woman. Most of us are NOT professional athletes, physios or PTs. We have to start with smaller weights or even no weight.
This is awesome, just trying the exercises now as I’ve got a bit of an issue going on with my shoulders but these are great exercises so far, stepping back from weight training for a week or so and just going to do this every few days 🤞
this was incredibly helpful, i tore both my shoulders a week and a half ago in a benching incident and didnt know what to do with myself when it came to the gym. the alternatives are super helpful, pushups and pullups even deadhangs have put too much shoulder strain and it hurts. couldnt do flys either the pressure hurt the front muscle of my shoulders so this is very helpful thank you
Great video. I can confirm these are the exact exercises I did in physical therapy. I now make sure to incorporate at least some of these into day-to-day life and the gym. I've slipped up with it in the past and it's noticeable because pain will return after a few weeks 😅. If I'm doing the exercises I'm free to do anything and can sleep on my bad shoulder once again.
This video is the BEST. I had a RCuff surgery last year, did PT, and started lifting weights again and I have pain on the back of the shoulder now. I am injecting peptides PBC 157 and doing these exercises, and the pain is slowly going away. Dont want a 2nd surgery for sure.
i got a grade 2 shoulder sprain from brazilian jiu jitsu + having ehler danlos syndrome (I know. its bad for me. but i love it!) I am using this to help along my recovery + strengthen my "good side" to prevent future damage and protect my joints. Thank you! best presentation I have seen!
I cut certain exercises (like overhead shoulder press), started doing the cable external rotation, and altered how I do other exercises (more neutral grip). I can say that after a couple of months, I fell so much better! I need to start working on regaining some mobility next. Great video! I will add a couple more of these exercises to my routine.
Was having pain shoulder pain because of gym, was watching this video now and performing exercises instant relief felt. Super like. I really like all your videos❤❤ love greetings from Germany
Would you recommend these for shoulder impingement? Would the process be to fix shoulder mechanics thus creating space for the impingement? Really enjoyed the video, appreciated the in depth content.
just got shoulder pain 3 weeks ago. couldnt be more thankful for this video. a question, do you recommend doing these exercises BEFORE or AFTER workout sessions?
This was excellent - thanks so much. I posted a comment earlier but it didn't appear. My sleep is especially troubled as I toss and turn in a semi-delirious way. Keep up the good work!❤
Do these exercises reduce pain or actually potentially could stop tear enlargement or reduce it or at least arrange torn fibers in a way reducing irritation of tendon ?
I really appreciate this! I have attended physio for 7 months now and with increasing healing. However, I am looking forward to building back strength and trying to hold off future injuries.
I will try some of these again. I have a 40+ year old shoulder injury from swimming which acts up every 10 years or so and I am in the midst of a flareup since the end of October. One round of PT made me so much worse I had to stop, prolotherapy injection which helped in the past is now useless to me. I went back to my original PT who added some exercises to my regular mid-back routine and dx impingement, but I still have shoulder pain in different angles and even with light weight lifting, like 5 lb weights. This is frustrating beyond belief. I had an ultrasound at the beginning which just showed inflammation. I keep working at it.
@@RacistmfsI unfortunately fell a month ago and have full thickness tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus on MRI and very limited range of motion and strength. I can’t lift my arm more than about 75 degrees. Unfortunately I’m headed for surgery next month but I’m doing prehab with my PT and hope that makes my recovery easier. I could not possibly do any of these exercises at this time.
@@irenecohen8708may u have speedy recovery I also have injury and these shoulder injury r so fustrating bcz these don't fade away so easy these shoulder injuries r so complex that they really r very fustrating
This was such a great video! Very easy to follow, evidence based, and interesting to watch! I have been to PT but I am on a high deductible health insurance plan and need to reduce costs. I was doing the ATY excersie there and am very greatful for the alternatives since i dont have a bench!
Been waiting over 2 months to get in for a single PT session. Thinking I’m just going to start doing these on my own and give it a whirl. Not sure exactly what injured my shoulder (possibly doing rows) or lifting an 80-lb dumbbell for squats on my own, but it’s been incredibly painful for the past 5 months since the injury. My hand will either go numb or have pins and needles like it’s a sleep, any overhead movement or pulling motions cause a lot of pain, it’s affecting my sleep as any time I roll over on it, I wake up, and there’s a lot of pain with any weight or pressure above the AC joint. I believe it’s likely it’s a combo of AC joint, impingement, and possibly rotator cuff issues. I just need some relief as the pain, weakness, and lack of ROM have impacted my job and every day functions like driving as well.
Informative as always, just about a year since I've dealt with it and all the physios that I've been to ain't been much help. Been trying this week to focus stretching and strengthening my serratus anterior and lower trapezius to see if it helps with it at all.
Please indulge me regarding a similar injury. Question: is it true that your long head of the bicep, 0:09 if ruptured, can/will reattach itself to a lower area on the shoulder than where it tore?
What is this machine model and model number please sir. Its the single cable that could be moved up or down for a variation of exercises. Looks like its made by Rogue. Looks like a good space saver. Its the machine at time stamp 5:03 to 5:15. I really like those exercises. Thank you Sir
Thank youu veerrry much, i have internal impingement from climbing, will this exercises help???? Thanks again, this is really beneficial for people without resources

i did surgey to my right shoulder. MRI scan showed nothing and the pain was still there. i tried many years of rehab. I wish i didn't do the surgery. they found nothing when they went inside. i did an arthroscopy. they did not cut the bicep tendon and reattached it, they just looked. they did however perform a bursectomy, i.e. removing the subacromial bursa, and the ortophedic surgeon told me that it grows back within 6-8 weeks, aka they did nothing they just looked. the rehab was going forward in the end before the surgery. i wish i never did it. now my left shoulder is f*cked and same problem there. these tendons takes ages to heal ffs. my suggestion is to take it easy, dont ego lift, bands are really good, go through all of the function of the shoulder daily if you can, with a light band, start with a light band, progress SLOWLY to stronger resistance band color wise. try to think that your sole purpose is to restore balance and function to the glenohumeral joint, not to increase in weights or become stronger. the weight does not matter. get some good blood circulation in there. it should feel good afterwards immediately inside the shoulder and 1-2 days after aswell. if not, then lower the resistance or eliminate painful movement patterns. I wish you all rehabbing your shoulders the very best of luck since we are on the same boat. i also have my right knee that's damaged and needs rehab aswell. it's really sad. people who are lazy and dont lift weights and people like me, that loves to workout but can't. :( it is my fault 100%, the injuries doesn't just appear randomly. It's not a random variable, there is a reason.
Can you tell me what exercises should i do? Im in The point where i basically cant do any fast movement with my shoulders, and i need to think about every slow movement to not yell from pain
@@Kem3s take the lightest band and perform all the function of the shoulder joint, google shoulder function and movement pattern. get the external internal abduction adduction flexion extension, all movements and do some reps a couple of days a week. start there. try to feel the rotator cuff working in the scapula, if you feel the joint anteriorally stop the movement.
@@Stekaren Would you suggest this for overuse too? I think I have biceps tendonitis manifesting as pain in the front side of the deltoid, there was no incident, it just built up due to overuse with weight lifting. To me it makes more sense to just lay off the upper body entirely, but you may know better?
@@glacialimpala i take back what i said about the bands. i tried bands for 6 months, i saw ZERO improvement. the thing that worked for me was Mark rippetoes shoulder case study. watch his youtube video named "shoulder case study". there are no specific exercises you can do in an event of an injury. the function of the muscle does not change if you have different exercises. try to feel as little pain as possible. if you have inflammation you will always feel some pain, a 4 in a scale from 1 to 10 is fine. im 50% healed now writing this and what i'm doing is implementing the function of the muscles in compound lifts and training with higher reps and lower weights. the reason i saw no improvement is because i sought to train in pain free range of motions which is practically impossible if you're rehabbing, thats why i never increased the intensity of my workouts i would suggest you train pronated/supinated lat pulldown and rehab your biceps in back exercises. you get good amount of biceps there and you can increase the load slowly as the back is taking most of the lift and not your biceps directly. start with a really low weight and aim to do 3-5 sets 8-12 reps. If it feels good the day after, you keep the same weight for another session. if the same weight feels good the second session, you increment the weights with 2.5 kg (approx 5lbs) next week. you keep doing this linear progression slowly and your tendons will get stronger and heal. you want to directly train the tendon you've injured or it will never get better alone. as you've mentioned; resting does not make a tendonitis go away. you need movement and the faster you start, the better the results. you might want to start with low weights on the lat machine pulldown and lower the range of motion initially. good luck bro. avoid stretching statically when you're injured. do NOT stretch at all. i would not stretch. I cannot recommend you to follow this. Im just saying this is what i would have done in your case.
Hi this was a great video, I have a question about front raises whenever I try to lower my arm there is a loud painful pop should I continue doing them to try and fix it or should I stop?
Thank you so much for watching! Be sure to check out the blog for all references: e3rehab.com/rotator-cuff-tear-rehab/

Fantastic! Thanks! I did screen shots all the way through before I saw this link. Thanks for providing the info in a printable version too.

I'm a physio therapist too and I agree, E3 Rehab along with Tim Keeley's Physio Fitness are the best ones to follow.
Question. I had this pain for over 10 years and won’t go away. Someone said I could be a rotated scapula. Is this true.
@@k2vaja00Spot on. Two of the best. Crisp and straight forward.
Hello sir. Wish you best of life after retirement.wish to get your knowledge of 42 years
4:50 (side lying external rotation)
5:04 (standing external rotation)
5:17 (external rotation w/elbow on knee)
5:44 (band 90-90, prone 90-90)
6:20 (band lateral raises)

just got shoulder pain 3 weeks ago. couldnt be more thankful for this video.
a question, do you recommend doing these exercises BEFORE or AFTER workout sessions?
Both are viable options. However, may be helpful to put whatever your top priority is first.
Thank you,I really needed this advice. Couldn't do a push up cuz shoulder is cracking,poping unstable!
Pure gold ! Great thanks !
One of the best and most comprehensive shoulder videos I’ve seen so far.
This was excellent - thanks so much. I posted a comment earlier but it didn't appear. My sleep is especially troubled as I toss and turn in a semi-delirious way. Keep up the good work!❤
This was an awesome video, well detailed, informative and nicely presented with the example clips 🤝🏼
Excellent thank you for including the research references that support your rehab guidelines.
Thank you so much! Trying this vs surgery!
After looking at a fair amount of poor content on you tube just found this great video and now feel i have a way forward with my injury. Thankyou
Awesome video with great explanations. Clear cut and dry I love!
Do these exercises reduce pain or actually potentially could stop tear enlargement or reduce it or at least arrange torn fibers in a way reducing irritation of tendon ?
What
I really appreciate this! I have attended physio for 7 months now and with increasing healing. However, I am looking forward to building back strength and trying to hold off future injuries.
Fancy seeing you here, I’ve been having shoulder trouble too! 🥲
I had a tear and having pain from last 3 weeks, now im gonna follow this, let's see how it goes.
That was a lot of info delivered concisely. Thanks it is helpful.
I will try some of these again. I have a 40+ year old shoulder injury from swimming which acts up every 10 years or so and I am in the midst of a flareup since the end of October. One round of PT made me so much worse I had to stop, prolotherapy injection which helped in the past is now useless to me. I went back to my original PT who added some exercises to my regular mid-back routine and dx impingement, but I still have shoulder pain in different angles and even with light weight lifting, like 5 lb weights. This is frustrating beyond belief. I had an ultrasound at the beginning which just showed inflammation. I keep working at it.
Any Update about your injury sir??? 🙂 I just want to know if it really works as I was going for doctor but now I want to try this
@@RacistmfsI unfortunately fell a month ago and have full thickness tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus on MRI and very limited range of motion and strength. I can’t lift my arm more than about 75 degrees. Unfortunately I’m headed for surgery next month but I’m doing prehab with my PT and hope that makes my recovery easier. I could not possibly do any of these exercises at this time.
@@irenecohen8708may u have speedy recovery I also have injury and these shoulder injury r so fustrating bcz these don't fade away so easy these shoulder injuries r so complex that they really r very fustrating
I appreciate your clear info and encouragement that I can heal the minor shoulder pain I'm experiencing without drastic measures! Thank you!
I tore something, it was healing feeling good. I tried to press the old way and just re-injured. Wish I had seen this video a month ago.😢
Nice video! can you also do it on shoulder instability? Thank you
This was such a great video! Very easy to follow, evidence based, and interesting to watch! I have been to PT but I am on a high deductible health insurance plan and need to reduce costs. I was doing the ATY excersie there and am very greatful for the alternatives since i dont have a bench!
Beautiful tutorial
Excellent video. Thanks
There is a LOT of dreck to sift through out here, but this video is fantastic!
You are awesome sir, I am suffering from shoulder pain specially when doing chest exercises. Kindly demonstrate tomorrow,how to apply
This is great, thank you
Thank your for the video, I love this channel! Would you recommend passive deadhangs in this situation?
~Thank you sooooo-much...having pain w/ impenged shoulder. But will not give up & looking forward to these exercises. Subscribed & happy
Been waiting over 2 months to get in for a single PT session. Thinking I’m just going to start doing these on my own and give it a whirl.
Not sure exactly what injured my shoulder (possibly doing rows) or lifting an 80-lb dumbbell for squats on my own, but it’s been incredibly painful for the past 5 months since the injury.
My hand will either go numb or have pins and needles like it’s a sleep, any overhead movement or pulling motions cause a lot of pain, it’s affecting my sleep as any time I roll over on it, I wake up, and there’s a lot of pain with any weight or pressure above the AC joint.
I believe it’s likely it’s a combo of AC joint, impingement, and possibly rotator cuff issues. I just need some relief as the pain, weakness, and lack of ROM have impacted my job and every day functions like driving as well.
Serious stuff ! 😊❤
Can these excersises be performed as a warmup in order to protect yor shoulders from injuries???
What brand machine are you using when doing the standing weighted exercises?
Thank you! Excellent video.
this is the best video on topic shoulder I have seen!!
XCELLENT PRESONTATION WITH SOME TRUE FACTs
When should I start exercise after acute injury?
EXTREMY INFORMATIVE AND EFFECTIVE..HANDSOME MAN YOU ARE TRUE FRIEND OF EVERYONE WHO WANT TO BE FIT AND STRONG,RECOVERIBG FROM THE TRAUMA
A clear comprehensive guide and well documented
Best shoulder rehab video I’ve seen. Thank you!
leaving a comment for the algorithm. so well put together 🙏🏽
Great video, concise, straight forward and informative. Thanks!
King of physio
could you please make a video for exercising after a conservative broken cavicle treatment and what are the limitations of a shorter clavicle
Informative as always, just about a year since I've dealt with it and all the physios that I've been to ain't been much help. Been trying this week to focus stretching and strengthening my serratus anterior and lower trapezius to see if it helps with it at all.
Hope this information helps!
@raycist1442 This should be insightful for you, good luck on the rehab mate th-cam.com/video/_avAOohJaMQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your explanation and showing exercises
Hi, great video and very helpful shoulder rehab. What do you think about trigger points?
Please indulge me regarding a similar injury. Question: is it true that your long head of the bicep, 0:09 if ruptured, can/will reattach itself to a lower area on the shoulder than where it tore?
Thanks so much for such great content! I really needed it!
the best video om YT❤
What is this machine model and model number please sir. Its the single cable that could be moved up or down for a variation of exercises. Looks like its made by Rogue. Looks like a good space saver. Its the machine at time stamp 5:03 to 5:15. I really like those exercises. Thank you Sir
Thank youu veerrry much, i have internal impingement from climbing, will this exercises help???? Thanks again, this is really beneficial for people without resources
amazing vid as always. so much information and literally hit the spot!! thank you
great video thnks
Great video ! It helps my injured client
Thank you for your help,God bless you

_try hanging from a bar periodically to loosen the joint_
Bestest exercise❤
when should i do the rehab exercise? before or after my workout?
Should I do these exercises before or after my workout or a separate day?
Good doctor and super rehab💪🏻💪🏻
Great explanation. Learned a lot
Very informative great video
Excellent video. Does the level of discomfort, while training, extend to feeling numbness in my fingers?
You probably have a pinched nerve
Are these wxercises supposed to hurt some hurt is that good
The skull pulls are really good.
i did surgey to my right shoulder. MRI scan showed nothing and the pain was still there. i tried many years of rehab. I wish i didn't do the surgery. they found nothing when they went inside. i did an arthroscopy. they did not cut the bicep tendon and reattached it, they just looked. they did however perform a bursectomy, i.e. removing the subacromial bursa, and the ortophedic surgeon told me that it grows back within 6-8 weeks, aka they did nothing they just looked. the rehab was going forward in the end before the surgery. i wish i never did it.
now my left shoulder is f*cked and same problem there. these tendons takes ages to heal ffs. my suggestion is to take it easy, dont ego lift, bands are really good, go through all of the function of the shoulder daily if you can, with a light band, start with a light band, progress SLOWLY to stronger resistance band color wise.
try to think that your sole purpose is to restore balance and function to the glenohumeral joint, not to increase in weights or become stronger. the weight does not matter. get some good blood circulation in there. it should feel good afterwards immediately inside the shoulder and 1-2 days after aswell. if not, then lower the resistance or eliminate painful movement patterns.
I wish you all rehabbing your shoulders the very best of luck since we are on the same boat. i also have my right knee that's damaged and needs rehab aswell. it's really sad. people who are lazy and dont lift weights and people like me, that loves to workout but can't. :( it is my fault 100%, the injuries doesn't just appear randomly. It's not a random variable, there is a reason.
Can you tell me what exercises should i do? Im in The point where i basically cant do any fast movement with my shoulders, and i need to think about every slow movement to not yell from pain
@@Kem3s take the lightest band and perform all the function of the shoulder joint, google shoulder function and movement pattern. get the external internal abduction adduction flexion extension, all movements and do some reps a couple of days a week. start there. try to feel the rotator cuff working in the scapula, if you feel the joint anteriorally stop the movement.
@@Stekaren yeah, i cant do it without band lol
@@Stekaren Would you suggest this for overuse too? I think I have biceps tendonitis manifesting as pain in the front side of the deltoid, there was no incident, it just built up due to overuse with weight lifting.
To me it makes more sense to just lay off the upper body entirely, but you may know better?
@@glacialimpala i take back what i said about the bands. i tried bands for 6 months, i saw ZERO improvement. the thing that worked for me was Mark rippetoes shoulder case study. watch his youtube video named "shoulder case study".
there are no specific exercises you can do in an event of an injury. the function of the muscle does not change if you have different exercises. try to feel as little pain as possible. if you have inflammation you will always feel some pain, a 4 in a scale from 1 to 10 is fine.
im 50% healed now writing this and what i'm doing is implementing the function of the muscles in compound lifts and training with higher reps and lower weights.
the reason i saw no improvement is because i sought to train in pain free range of motions which is practically impossible if you're rehabbing, thats why i never increased the intensity of my workouts
i would suggest you train pronated/supinated lat pulldown and rehab your biceps in back exercises. you get good amount of biceps there and you can increase the load slowly as the back is taking most of the lift and not your biceps directly. start with a really low weight and aim to do 3-5 sets 8-12 reps. If it feels good the day after, you keep the same weight for another session. if the same weight feels good the second session, you increment the weights with 2.5 kg (approx 5lbs) next week. you keep doing this linear progression slowly and your tendons will get stronger and heal.
you want to directly train the tendon you've injured or it will never get better alone. as you've mentioned; resting does not make a tendonitis go away. you need movement and the faster you start, the better the results.
you might want to start with low weights on the lat machine pulldown and lower the range of motion initially. good luck bro.
avoid stretching statically when you're injured. do NOT stretch at all. i would not stretch.
I cannot recommend you to follow this. Im just saying this is what i would have done in your case.
Tnx 🙏🏻
Hi this was a great video, I have a question about front raises whenever I try to lower my arm there is a loud painful pop should I continue doing them to try and fix it or should I stop?
Usually pops woth mo pain ate ok.
This is so flippin good
Great video…. Thanks for sharing
using a weighted towel would be a good idea to use for increasing shoulder flexion
Tnx bro u r thoughts very valuable❤❤❤❤
