I would like to start with a Thank you for changing my mindset about chronic pain. Suffering from 7-8 yrs of chronic neck and shoulder pain, recently I have been diagnosed to be hyper lax or hyper mobile and recommend by the so called doctors that my body type is such that I could be in pain for the rest of my life...!! By watching your videos and relating to your personal story I think I can follow your footsteps to be pain free and have strong muscles. Thank you for changing my belief anf progressing towards a healthier and pain free life...!! Love and respect from India
I just turned 74 and have been a massage therapist for 35 years doing deep tissue work. Seem to be all the sudden totally broken. I am finding your videos really understandable. I feel strong, but out of balance. Painful left should, left knee, gluts, ITB. I am looking forward to moving forward using your vids. thanks
Love the shoulder and chest workout. My chest and shoulders are always tight and now they are relaxed w no pain. Love your videos, always highly detailed
I felt my heartrate accelerate with the wall exercises but with the warmup stretches with the head, neck and trunk rotations it was relaxing. I like these exercises, as after all were done I could feel more circulation in the tops of my shoulders and upper back!
perfect timing brother, messed my left shoulder up yesterday at some point in the gym, ironically went home to study shoulder pathologies for my msk exam this week, still trying to pin point what it is exactly but anyways just wanted to say been following you for years, your FAI videos helped me a lot back in college and motivated me to pursue a DPT, thanks for the solid content and videos you share they help me a lot in my journey. god bless
Wao thank you!!! A great start to strenthening a rehab shoulder that has range of motion but too squeaky for real pilates yet. I must admit I was a bit puzzled by the start, but then it slowly dawned on me that the shoulder is also a SYSTEM with many muscles.... no use going like a rocket on one when the rest haven't woken up yet. Thank you for calm, clear, well paced exercises and a great flow throughout the video. Am a fan!!!
Great timing for a Sunday shoulder stretch. Have been having neck muscle ache since August. Seeing pt and doing some of your neck exercises.This practice today helped especially stretching arm over couch. Thanks
My right shoulder is super painful, did this exercise last night. In middle of night, woke up with pain, did neck roll and hands out circles in bed-instant relief, went back to sleep 😴. This will be added to my daily/twice daily routine -Thank you ❤️
This was fantastic for me. I broke my left shoulder 17yrs ago have plate & screws also limited movement in reaching etc. Even though couldn't do exactly same as you showed ..my upper back musckes felt refreshed. I will continue doing these.
I’ve been having quite a bit of pain around my left shoulder since carrying a too-heavy box of books three years ago. This really feels like it will help. I plan to try doing it every day to see what happens.
I love your videos. I’ve gained much more mobility and way less pain in an impinged shoulder. I have been doing the couch stretches for two weeks now and have reduced my pain by at least 80%. And it feels so good doing that stretch. I will now add these exercises to my daily practice. Thank you so much for the pain relief.
I really like the simplicity and efficacy of this excercises… i have had pain in my left shoulder (already for a while) i did the Routine yesterday for the first time and Today I noticed a positive difference … Thank you very much Matt 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks a lot I really appreciated these small bu gentle and profound exercices Made me feel e lot better in my achy shoulders and paved a way for training them in a more gentle way
I love shoulder exercises because I tend to get stiff in this area and pain around my shoulder blades. Most likely from poor posture. This entire routine felt good and was the right amount of challenge for me. Pain-free and limber afterwards. I will try doing it twice next time. That first abdominal breathing exercise was very unique and effective.
Thanks for your follow along video. I do some of these exercises using Isometric theory, they really help. Still some pain but improving. Now working towards doing these exercises with your video.
Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to share my challenging/impactful shoulder journey. I’ve had chronic shoulder injury and pain, a tough recovery for nearly 5 years. A partial tear, tendinopathy, adhesive capsulitis (which is mostly better now). Some steps forward, some steps back. I’m waiting to move to find a good shoulder pt provider. I hope someday I can hang on a bar with one arm again. It’s been so long. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Do you plan to release shoulder follow alongs on its own? I don't want full shoulder fix, I had it and found it too overwhelming. But I'd happily purchase just follow alongs if possible. I much prefer this format :)
Hey there, the shoulder fix program has been updated to be primarily follow along style to eliminate the sense of overwhelm from the self tests. So if you own access to the shoulder fix program from the past you’ll have full access to the recent updates. 😊
You are a awesome! Helping the community understanding and looking for ways to improve their mobility and mind! Love your channel!! I have a request: Could you make more videos for the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis, Subocciptal muscles and transversopnalis muscles, Thank you
Thank you, Upright Health. Last year, I edited 650 pages in 21 days, with no day off. This was all done on screen with many, many, many fiddly mouse movements. For the first time in 56 years of keyboarding, I had RSI...in my right shoulder. Hands-on Feldenkrais helped, but so does this video. I have bookmarked it and will try to do it M, W, F. Love from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.
@@Dispatern Thanks for the boost, Selene. Now to convince myself to do the workout the third time. Now that Christmas is over, I wil be more organized.
@@lizj5740 You're welcome Liz! I need to motivate myself too. I have upper back pain from my current job where I (similar to you!) need to sit in the same position for hours every day and I also need to use the computer mouse so my right hand and shoulder lean more forward than my left. Luckily there are so many good exercises that people share on TH-cam. If you search TH-cam for 'yoga stretch for shoulder pain' some good ones will pop up! Have a nice evening :)
@@lizj5740 if I'm in that "can't be bothered today mood", I tell myself: "well you can just do one stretch/exercice at least" ( I pretend I don't know what my intention really is🥺) 9 times out of ten, I end up doing the whole thing. In French we have that saying , "c'est le premier pas qui compte/coute"" (it's the first step that is the hardest)
I’m feeling stiff!!! Thanks for this workout. I’ve been bedridden for a week because of the flu and was looking for something simple I could do before falling back in bed. Fever is gone but still quite weak. The stretching feels really good, though.
Hello, your video’s are really good and I was wondering if you have anything for pain raiding from my coracoid on my right shoulder? I had a torn labrum fixed in that shoulder as they said that was causing the issue but after having surgery and recovering the pain is exactly the same in that area. Any exercises would be amazing
Welp, I learned my left shoulder has a really hard time with the backswim circles and my chest muscles aren't tight at all. That couch stretch is so nice too.
My favorite was the last one where we stretched out our whole upper back and side. It felt so good! The hardest one was the neck circles; it feels scary and uncomfortable.
Thank you for this video Matt! The breath practice to feel ab engagement is gold. My climbing arborist husband suffers from shoulder and neck impingement. He has been going to the chiropractor for months 2-3 days a week with little relief. I’ve encouraged him to watch your videos and he has but concerned about his neck. We’re in our 60’s so expect some disk degeneration but I believe it can be halted or even reversed with proper workouts. Is this video appropriate for someone with neck issues (no injuries) in addition to very tight shoulders? Mostly wondering about neck rolls. Thank you for educating us about our bodies and mindset Matt!💜
Been having pain in left shoulder, neck for a couple of years now, and now pain in my traps where the connect in shoulder/spine area. These stretches were painful yet tolerable, going to stick with these for a while and see if there's any improvement. What kind of frequency should I be doing these stretches? Thanks for the video :)
Hi, I have a question concerning the Neck Circles and the upright Cat Cow: are there any contraindications or risks? I'm asking this because I've seen everything and its opposite over the years concerning Neck Circles and how we should avoid compressing cervicals (especially with head tilted back and chin high), but I don't know what the current information is on that subject (as Google also gives me everything and its opposite 😅) or whether there is a specific way or speed to do it at in order to avoid injury (?) Thanks in advance for your help and thank you for your interesting and informative videos 🌟
I've spent the last ~20 months dealing with frozen shoulder which happened as soon as I had my first covid vaccine (I believe the placement was too high, because my shoulder and arm hurt within a couple seconds, but hearing/reading how painful it was and that it caused arm pain for days, I thought nothing of it and then believed I must've slept weird on it, until a few months went by with no real improvement)....3 steroid injections later, in two different areas (2x in the joint, and once in the muscle from the side), along with prescribed exercises, and I've had a lot of improvement, but one area keeps refusing to cooperate. I'm going to give these exercises a try and see if they can do something the exercises from my physio haven't done after over 12 months. I can say the arms straight out and rotating has really hit that area in a way the other exercises have not, so I'm hopeful this is the answer! Thanks for the great video!!
It hurt so bad I cannot do half of the movements, feels like a nerve is blocked or something, feel the pain into my upsides hand😮 But thank you I keep trying!
I tried this for the first time. After the stretches my shoulders started hurting. It has been 3 days and it did not get any better. Now I get tingling down the arm and numbness in fingers. What is going on?
Dude are u kidding me with the acrobatics at the start? 🤣🤣🤣 Yep paramedics on standby for me... nope .....fire department on standby. You also amaze me with your knowledge. Top Class 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So good ! Perfect timing! Thank youuuu in Jesus name! He led me to your gift of healing. He will use you in His name one day . He loves you and there’s nothing you can do about that. 🙏🏼 The gift you have is from Him. Our Abba Father God. You are loved ! Get ready He is coming to those that call out to Him and to be used in a mighty way . REVIVAL of the hearts back to Him . Glory to God almighty maker of heaven and earth and all creation. His goodness to us brings salvation to all who want Him. Much Love and prayers
Excellent gentle start to ignite those unused muscles!! One thing I realized with my elderly father was to show him exercise videos of people his age. This eliminated the response,” they are young and I am old”.
