Nice! Humorous needs posterior, inferior glide (an accessory motion) during abduction and flection to reduce symptomatic inflamed-swollen reduced space (sub acromion space-including supra spinatus) .
Gibbons tutorial,; helped me achieve success by reducing my left shoulder symptoms and regaining my ROM within few days.

[@alikijones9314]

I love the scapula technique but don't think I can do the other justice on my own for myself. Thanks for video.

[@JohnGibbons]

You are so welcome! Regards JG

[@Shogun973]

NICE! I already know how to mobilize the shoulder complex but most of that is supine this is a great way to mix things up and free the scap up!!

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the comments, regards JG

[@ShampooWow]

Nice video! I like it

[@JohnGibbons]

Glad you like it...

[@krupadrum]

I crashed my cycle 4 months ago hitting my right shoulder. Severe pain for over 6 weeks. No bone injuries but physio not really helped and consultant advised no steroid injections unti MRI scan to determine damage. A long painful road. 😔

[@JohnGibbons]

Sounds like a fracture to me, yes a long road of recovery - regards JG

[@drewfarwell-grenville4780]

Mr Gibbons,
Nothing is too long for TH-cam sir if there is great content behind the video thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the message, regards JG

[@bookclub9556]

Brilliant assessments! Practitioner is however abrupt when interacting with his client/models. The intention of the Practitioner when working with the client, has a direct effect on the overall with the outcome of the session. 😉

[@narasimansathivelu7626]

Great videos , really helps in my rehabilitation work. Thank you. Can you explain about your courses. How can I attend.

[@JohnGibbons]

[@Uk-sd8sd]

Superb sir

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks, regards jG

[@ATTherapist]

John, it would be common to get results back from x-rays and Doctor's diagnosis as subacromial and subdeltoid bursitis when dealing with these forward shoulder types, impingements, or some degree of adhesive capsulitis? Yes??

[@JohnGibbons]

Wouldn't see an impingement from the X-ray unless there is a curved or hooked acromion process, the sub deltoid and subacriomial bursa is one of the same structure. The subacromial space is only 8-10mm so easily impinged with different type of postural changes, regards jG

[@drtekchandsharma]

Hllo ..if initial 10 degree abduction of shoulder joint is painful... it may be a supraspinatus problem or it may be pec major ...
Is mmt is gold test for this to identified ???

[@01ernst]

guide humorous Posterior-inferior and adding traction while abducting and flexing.then relating to anatomy. Awesome!

[@JohnGibbons]

Glad you liked it!

[@thilininadeeshani2553]

Sir can you explain some exercises for patient with shoulder joint osteoarthritis

[@JohnGibbons]

Hard to explain over a text - I have push / pull exercises on my site so they cAn help a shoulder problem, regards JG

[@babymarcus123]

TY watching many on shoulder. I have similar pain problems and range of motion limitations. Will PT be able to restore this at age 48? Or am I at a point of limited improvement?

[@JohnGibbons]

As long as there is no pathology with the shoulder then there is no reason why you couldn't get full range of motion, regards jG

[@babymarcus123]

@@JohnGibbons TY VM - videos are super helpful - thanks!

[@priyankamankani2336]

How can we fix hand behind the back movement (internal rotation) that you didn't told in this video.

[@yoshuabarrone3177]

you can try to lengthen the external rotators for one. Also, caudal traction of the humeral head tends to increase its internal rotation parameter

[@01ernst]

golf ball fit to small tee analogy (awsone)

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks, regards JG

[@jasonhappycomedy8703]

why is it bad if the humeral head is too anterior John?

[@JohnGibbons]

Will limit flexion and abduction of the shoulder - regards JG

[@poochyboi]

Everything he says makes sense...why does my brain only play crickets when I'm with a patient?

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the message, regards JG

[@marwatatwany257]

Hello Dr. John, I was wondering about your patient in the video, she has full ROM, mild pain and restricted or stiff IR of the shoulder don't you think it might be something from the shoulder rotator the Subscapularis? Even the pain she's describing is similar to thoses with Subscapularis trigger point I've seen.

[@JohnGibbons]

Yes possibly and thanks for the comments, regards JG

[@quannabrown9946]

She has a dropped shoulder on the right

[@Vesperon]

I have no idea what he's saying and the captions don't help...

[@mohammadabualrob1570]

that's meant for students so it wont be understandable if you're not one or if you have issues in the subjects you studied

[@SuAmigoElilegal]

I believe this therapies doctors should use x rays CT scans and MRI s to diagnose and treat any patient. most of them just see a patient and they think they are Clark and diagnose with out even knowing where the problem comes from . therapy is only to strength the muscle and to rehabilitate but not to try to treat or diagnose any condition or problem a patient presents .

[@TheDavidcarr1987]

Treat the man not the scan! they are not always useful. Scans are for confirming diagnosis and can sometimes open up a can of worms. The techniques on this video are for joint treatments for students. The tests he used were not diagnosis they are used to give a working diagnosis to direct treatment. Most tests are performed in clusters are are very useful for any practitioner and helpful for onward referral for a scan.

[@ricardoguerrero5440]

I can see just from what you wrote SU amigo, that you are either a student in all of this, or like most patients, don't have a clue as to the whys the above instructor did what he did? for someone who treats patients on a daily basis, he was thorough, and hes way passed the mastery stage in his techniques, why I say that is when ur that advanced, you can usually evaluate or assess patients very fast, something for you to dwell on.

And x-rays have tremendous negative effects on your cellular health.
