@@epmanualphysicaltherapythank you! I went down a 2 mos long dead end with physical therapy and doctors in my town. But it didn’t help. I am going to follow dr David’s advice and stop the pt here.

The best PT on the internet hands down. This is exactly what I have. Perfect explanation of everything. Thnaks!!!!
Just what I needed.
Fantastic vid.
Great explanation. Thank you.
Excellent advice
I've studied a variety of videos like this, but what you've offered here,
has worked the best. I'm actually making progress....Significant pro-
gress, in fact!
I am now more confident that surgery will not be necessary.
Years, I have been looking into this, and this has been the best!!! Have only began to address my subscapular strength. Has corrected the issue immensely.
Good Morning Dr David, thanks for taking the time to explain this and the other conditions associated with shoulder impingement, this is THE best explanation I have seen and heard! I injured my left shoulder just by sitting up using my left arm more than the right while reading at the time and 'crack' something went and instant pain! I saw your channel, followed your guidance re sling etc and I do have full rotation now, but there is one exact spot seems it's just behind and on the edge of the Acromion you described and my shoulder is sore in that spot, so I don't lie on it and starts to ache if I am on my mobile/ holding a book reading for a while, so try not to do that. I read about AC joint injury, looked at some pictures and it looks like what I could be experiencing. Been fit all my life, love reformer pilates, and just bought an Areopilates reformer, can you recommend any specific excercise I can do to heal this? Thank you so much for all your time, you are fabulous, please keep up the great work you are helping many people with, even me in England 🏴 UK! Kind regards, Mary. ❤️
thank you for this video. i read that book. i've been dealing w a bad impingement for several months. pain is at the rear delt. ever since i started dead hanging my range of motion has increased but am still experiencing pain when my arm is internally rotated. i will try the other exercises you demonstrated in another video.
great video...mahalo
Doing the shoulder shrug with arms on the wall makes both shoulders and my neck feel better. It's very effective.
Hi Dr David. Your videos are so awesome. Can you make a video for calcific tendinosis in the rotator cuff? Or shall I just do the rotator cuff tear video/exercises?
Dr.David thankyou! This clip & the one where I managed to work out I have nerve pain & it's coming from my neck have crystallised that I've been misdiagnosed & prescribed the wrong exercises! I have scalene issues, neck issues & shoulder impingement (although ultasound guided cortisone showed subcromial bursitis so it's progressed obviously). Thankyou! I have maxxed out my health insurance for the year but your exercises have eliminated my pain in days
I’m so thankful I found this channel

I feel that chronic shoulder impingement never goes away. If it is not so severe, I think these exercises work. Doctors never had me get an MRI done and went to many in El Paso. Luckily was able to get my hands on some medication from Mexico. Hoping it relieves the inflammation in my forearm. Don't have the best health insurance so we shall see how this medication works.
Wow, this is exactly what I am going through. Thanks so much

I have disc buldge and shoulder impingement combo.. will it affect disc?
Hi Dr. David. Your videos are very helpful. I’m about 62-year-old male and fell while jogging on my elbow. That was three months ago. I have mild pain occasionally during the day, but I sleep well at night as long as I lay the right way.
I’m hesitant to go to my doctor, because I think he’s going to immediately say that I need an MRI and all these expensive tests. What are your thoughts?
Heading to surgery on the 15th of April for the rt. shoulder. The orthopedic surgeon said he wants to cut a good sized incision into my shoulder on the end of the rt.collarbone, trim 1/4" off and clean up the bone spurs. I had a shoulder surgery on my left shoulder which was done laparoscopically. They cleaned it up less aggressively and I had good results with three very small cuts to accommodate the scope..20 years since then. I am 68 and the arthritis has set in on the rt. shoulder, had two steroid injections with little results. I do weight training and cardio classes 3-4 times a week but wondering if I really should be doing such an aggressive surgery. They called it clavicle resection to free up the joint. I don't know the surgeon but he seems nice. I felt the laparoscopic approach may be better so it isn't such a long recovery. Probably less chance of infection. The MRI report also said there is a slight tear to the rotator cuff also said there's bone edema. I asked him if he would smooth out the slight tear laparoscopically and he said he won't do that. hmmmm...It's hard when you are listening to a professional hoping for the best. Everyone has their own opinions but I certainly am feeling anxious about my dominant arm and surgery. I don't know anyone else in California to go to. Thanks for your explanation..I am searching.
Question... if a person has a arthritic condition... such as PMR, does that condition magnify the impingement? Or maybe even help the bursitis or tendinitis to form quicker?
Btw, FANTASTIC information. Thx
Not only does hanging from a bar improved shoulder health it also increases your strength in all the activities involving the shoulder, forearms, and hand grip.
Thankyou Thankyou
I have been in terrible pain for several months with shoulder pain. I start physical therapy In 2 weeks
Pt said get an xray b4 starting pt since it’s been months of pain. I get black and blue marks on bicep area. And I feel a lump there after icing. Any suggestions? Thankyou
David, I have marked subacromial bursal thickening with bursal calcification consistent with calcific bursitis and extensive supraspinatus calcific tendinosis. Can I heal without surgery? I am female, 40s.
I’m not sure if I have something co-occurring going on or what but… I had what started as just a pinched nerve feeling in my shoulder or arm. It was just uncomfortable.
I rested and it went away. Then one night I slept longer than usual and woke up & the pain was unbearable. I did tons of stretching and rested my arm and neck w heat for about a week or so and it got better. Walking helped also.
Now it’s been over 4 weeks since that first day. My whole right side of my body gets tight, my neck tmj area feels swollen or numb, it goes down my neck to where it meets my shoulder and is tender there, then I can find pain below or behind that and over a little. Kind of where the hump is. Sometimes it feels like a knot. Crazy pressure and pan on shoulder blade or next to it. Like I can’t reach it. Now it’s going past it, and pain and pressure below that in the mid back. It’s going down to my hip on the same side and wraps around to the front.
When I lie down I’ll get spasms in the front of my shoulder on my upper chest, I can feel my back shaking/spasm sometimes. When I close my eye on this side of my body and try to focus with the other eye, my face muscles around the eye that’s closed twitch. Same with smiling.
That’s when it’s bad. It’s like the whole right side of my body is effected. The pain in my arm and shoulder back is the worst. Is this related?
I also have had a dent in that side of the neck before it reaches the arm for years. I’m not sure if it’s from when I broke my clavicle or what but I always thought it was a little odd & could be related. It’s a pronounced indentation and you can see it. My neck cracks very easily and grinds when I do rotation stretches.
Sorry for the long comment I just had to verbalize since no one has seemed to be able to help.
I have impingement/tendinitis in my left shoulder for years. Pulled a muscle in my shoulder at 18 doing bench press, this led to an “Anterior capsular repair” surgery at 25. Shoulder has always been weak since. Have had impingement/tendinitis ever since due to weakness and I’m 50 now. Which exercises would be best to help with this? Flared up recently and I’ve REALLY had enough now. Thanks.
I workout at the gym plus I was using trekking poles while hiking then I did some trees removal and my shoulders started hurting so I backed off for 2 weeks and they're better. I wonder if the labrum gets inflamed? I can't figure it out. Stretching didn't help but it didn't hurt.
the strange part is i got full strength and range of motion with my shoulder like raising up no issues, raising to the side, only when i internally rotate thumbs down will the pain trigger on the supraspinatus / acromion, the only range of motion i’ve lost is picking things heavy in-front of me (single handed) putting my arm behind me and as stated earlier twisting my arm internally thumbs down. is this normal for an impingement or can it be deeper than that?
Is it normal to have sharp pain in the upper arm with an impingement, or is this a result of tendonitis?
I have pain in my bicep. I also have popping, cracking and snapping. The ct arthrogram confirms a superior labral tear. One surgeon agrees and the second surgeon said he doesn’t know how to read a ct arthrogram and he was guessing as to if he was reading it correctly. He still says no, that I have impingement. My pain has been in the same place for 3 years I had a subacromial injection a week ago. It has made my shoulder worse. I was in p t and they had me doing hanging and it made my shoulder worse. That’s why I wonder if the first surgeon is right and I have a labral tear and not impingement
I feel a bump and my shoulder as I raise my arm It used to have pain there's no pain but as I raise my right arm up there's like a click in my shoulder
???
Which video is for shoulder impingement exercises thanks

Thanks for the link this is what the results showed on my shoulder do you think these exercises will help the pain
CONCLUSION:
Subacromial impingement with mild supraspinatus and
infraspinatus tendinosis and overlying subacromial bursitis.
Ugh... I'm a CNA and also have terrible posture and over the last few months my shoulder has really started to hurt I noticed it hurts when I raise my arm up over my head and I can only raise it up so far before it really hurts and I can't reach to scratch my back anymore like I used to and I'm pretty sure that I have this and I'm sure it's from my posture plus my job and the constant repetitive motion of pushing and pulling and lifting but I hope to find some exercises to help thanks to you!
Hi Katelyn! We're so sorry that you shoulder hurts when you raise your arm over your head, but we're so glad to have provided you with some exercises to help!!! :) Here are some more exercises to help shoulder pain:

Just wondering because I have shoulder impingement issues but I'm a climber, so I spend a lot of time with arms overhead and yet the issue is still there
Is it okay to continue exercises that dont cause any pain? For me, deadlifts dont cause pain. Is that okay to do with an impingement or rest from all exercises that uses the arm at all?
I have shoulder imbalance and the right shoulder is lower.Can this be the reason I have shoulder impingement in my right shoulder?
First question: So when would it be appropriate to do external and internal rotation exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles?
If there is no eccentric movement then the muscles can't get much stronger which is needed to keep from getting the muscle imbalance in the first place?
I understand pushing like exercises initially because it's a more baseline stability exercises. You have one exercise (the windshield wiper) that's compressing the numerous into the socket and getting external and internal rotation in there.
Second question: My thoughts are the exercises you mention, some hanging, then addressing the shoulder shrug, lats, teres major, and pecs by doing lat and front raises, face pulls, rows, lat pull downs, and pushups.
Then do the accessory exercises of internal/external rotations. Is that correct?
My third question: if you are doing pre hab work to ward off any shoulder impingement for a overuse over the head athlete (swimming). Do you do internal/external rotations as accessory exercises to big shoulder complex movements?
Hopefully you are able to answer this for me!! I've watched a lot of your videos and your comments about stability makes sense but it's hard to let go of some of these core shoulder exercises every single PT I've known until I've come across you have done.
I only mentioned external and internal rotation because they are most popular, but there are a lot of others to that I can think of that involve bringing the arm away from the body to put the rotator cuff muscles through light eccentric moment to build strength. Really looking forward to your response!!! I'm learning a lot.
After two months of my shoulder starting to hurt (I thought it was shoulder impingement), Im starting to get aches and pains everywhere in my arm. Sometimes it feels like some of the bones in my hand are broken, sometimes it feels like my hand is about to separate from my wrist.
I have a Rotated cuff, I've tried the exercises but IM in too much pain. Can you give me any advice?
Hey Elaine, sorry to hear that! Maybe you are trying to do too much. It may be a good idea to start exercises at a lower intensity. The key is to start small and work your way up trying to avoid making the pain worse. Here is a playlist of videos that may be able to help you:

The shoulder shrug exercise and hanging exercise in this video have been very beneficial for many people! Hope this helps!
Hi Sir. i got my shoulder impingement from playing badminton. i followed your exercises and it was healed. but after playing again often my impingement came back. Can tell me what should i do to avoid this again. thank you!
Hey @midnightmusic46, we are so sorry to hear your impingement came back! Don't worry, most of the time these things come back from overdoing it, but if you take your time going back through the exercises and rehab you'll recover just like you did last time. What's important here is, making sure that you integrate back to your sport slowly. Regressing is pretty normal, but the best way to ensure you'll be healthy and able to play for a long time is to make sure you start slow after taking your time strengthening your shoulder. Make sure you are doing movements that require you to press (push-up position type of exercises) and shrug/elevate your scapula (shoulder presses or shrugs). Also, hanging! If you'd like to learn more about this topic, we spoke to Dr. John Kirsch, MD who explains in detail why this should be done and how. Here is the video:

It damn hurts that's all I know.
My shoulders don't round forward, I walk with my hands at my side. The orthopedic surgeon told me it's from repetitive over head exercises?
Can impingement in the shoulder cause pain when your shoulder hits a 90 degree mark? Thats where i feel pain in my shoulder
Hi Shane, It can cause pain. We have a shoulder impingement playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Shoulder Impingement Pain Help”

We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Does sleeping on your side cause this?
Great question! Sleeping on your side can cause some shoulder problems especially depending on how rotated the person is. However, if that is the most comfortable position to sleep in, then it is still okay to sleep on your side. Then it becomes important to perform exercises/stretches that can help reverse these changes.
I find my shoulder doesn't hurt if I avoid vegetation, carnivore mostly. And it hurt for years!
Thank you for this video. Just let me add the “guy’s” name: Semmelweis, and he wasn’t just “shunned”, he was sent to an asylum, where he was eventually beaten to death.
