Thank you, I have had problems for over 12 months and NHS in the uk physical therapist told me it was my mind because I suffer with depression. I failed quite a few of these tests thank you so much I cant thank you enough
Bob and Brad are the best.....In my opinion, of course!
i did these stretches several yrs ago fixed me - now pain came back doing stretches again and pain almost gone again - Thanks Guys
All tests were negative but my shoulder is so sore 🤔 feels like i was training really hard for lot of hours. When i try to do some shoulder trainings even with very light weight or bench press pain is very intense. What else it might be? P.s i was training in gym+swimming 1 hour for past 3 months 3 times per week
I failed all 3 tests and your stretches worked immediately. Thank you! My shoulder has been hurting for months and on and off for years.
Is your shoulder better?I had shoulder pain for some months then 3 months it dissapeared and now its back
@@sarpili9304 Gotta do the maintenance. And keep the posture during the maintenance and in your everyday life. No slouching! You can do these things even when you're not having pain. Warm up a bit first and then nice and easy, with good posture. Don't work through pain. Do these so that they feel comfortable, but also pushing enough to get the strengthening and stretch out of them. Pain means stop and fall back to something smaller and lighter. When you're pain-free, some professional massage for your neck, back and shoulders is also great maintenance and way of prevention.
Shoulder injury has taken my life and identity. Lost 60 lb of muscle and no means to get diagnosed or corrected... and none of these seem to match it. No weakness points but all of them kind of hurt an equally small amount but can't do anything more than daily activities which are generally not an issue... until a bad time period kicks in. LOTS of loud popping but don't think it's dislocation
Hi, I working like Osteopath in Spain . there are many people in my country with those problems. All those exercices are very good . Thank you
i hear this in my head now every time a bob and brad video starts -
‘Bob and brad the two most USEFULL people on the internet’
hahaha!!! me, too!!! I have told so many friends about them and every time I say Bob and Brad...the jingle goes off in my head....
Thanks guys! Appreciate you always being there for so very many of us!
I finally subscribed because I want to hear you EVERYDAY not just when I'm looking to Bob and Brad for relief of specific pain from my aging and "not-so-strong-like-bull" body. (shoulders, neck, hips - it's always something and your techniques are always easy and helpful). Honestly, I just need a little bit of the TLC that you two darling, brilliant men put forth in each and every video that I've watched - and I've watched a few! You ARE the best PT"s on the internet! IMO, of course! :^D p
This was really helpful! Made it clear that the problem is in my neck. Thanks a lot.
Thank you both your videos have helped me so much just keep on making them!!!
My shoulder started hurting this week. I am positive for the behind the back test and putting my hand on the far shoulder. I also hurt when I check my watch and turn my forearm to my face to check the time. Sounds like an impingement. Just did the statue of liberty exercises and it felt good.
These two doc's are great, used their exercises for a number of sprains, they all worked, thank you.
Best video so far on the topic. Thanks Bob and Brad.
Thank you for the video! I definitely have the impingement problem. It has bothered me for quite awhile, now I finally know what it is!
Thanks for this video. You helped me alot with my hurting shoulder! It's getting better!
Should pain can be really stressful specially if it has stayed for some time. Whoever reads this, I pray that he/she never have to face this problem and whoever is already having this problem gets a quick recovery.
- small a small health channel.
My left shoulder hurt so bad for 2 weeks couldn’t sleep and I stumbled on your videos and tried the stretches oh boy it started to feel better within days thanks and keep it up
Thank you for this great video gents. It helped me greatly !
Thank you guys.
Immense thanks and will try doing your suggested exercises.
Wow it was great useful and comprehensive
Great physio therapist, tried exercises and got better very quickly.
Great stretch’s
BOB and BRAD.. you guys are AWESOME... .. I had knee pain for 1 year( I work out everyday) when I did Squats, some days I had knee pain, some days not? I knew it wasn't a muscle or joint issues.. LONG/SHORT.. you guys showed me how to move my Knee Cap to loosen it up!.... now 100% NO DISCOMFORT! I am Running on the Treadmill again, and loving it! Then 2 weeks ago, stressed my elbow with a new Bicep Exercise.. .. So I searched for you guys again, and you showed me stretching for TENNIS ELBOW.. AGAIN, YOU BOTH ROCK!..... after a few days of the stretching techniques, 90% improvement.. I expect in another week, I will be 100%. .. you guys are the 2 MOST FAMOUS PHYSICAL THERAPISTS ON THE INTERNET.... CHEERS AND BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH! THANKS!
You guys are truly legit! I tried your exercises for impingement from a diff video and it helped me tremendously!!! Educative w/humor ❣️
Happy to see the old office again.
Thank you got instant relief
Thanks for the very informative video. I have watched several of your videos (I subscribe) and am still unclear on the following with regard to impingement:
1. Can one combine the tension band exercises that you suggest for internal and external rotation with light dumbell work?
2. Should the stretches be combined with icing?
Thanks.
Great stuff guys, I think this will help me.
You guys are the best. You helped me so much after a car accident and with all of your stuff. So positive and super helpful. THANK YOU. Bob - I hope you are doing great
Big thank you for Bob and Brad, i've tried it and it works for me :) , subscribed ;)
How about if it hurts when reaching behind me, like if I was trying to reach into the back seat of my car ( while I’m sitting in the front seat. ) ?
Did you ever find out what it was? I noticed you never received an answer. That's the same problem I'm having.
@johncena9670 what about you? Did you figure it out?
For me I'd say it was a torn rotator cuff. I watched top 7 remedies for a rotator cuff tear from el paso manual physical therapy and my shoulder has definitely been feeling better.
Most likely rotator cuff Trigger Points. Find yourself a sports Acupuncturist who can release them for you
Accupuncture
Very helpful guys! Thank you!!! What is impingement?
Thanks so much. This finally helped me solve my problem. For 2 months I was suffering and the medication and physiotherapy wasn't helping either. Wish i saw this earlier.
Thank you guys you saw my comment from the older video... I hope this will help my shoulder pain
Great! Thank you.
Thank you!!!!
Great test
I feel like my problem might be serratus anterior and teres minor. Do you have exercises for that, or ways to test for serratus anterior? Thank you for all of the great content!
Yep, i have an impingement, big time! Thank you.
Ok, back scratcher worked for my painful arc!
Thanks!
Very useful god bless you sir
I love these guys !!!’
I just had open shoulder surgery. My hand is swollen, can't close it. My life sucks(at this time). Watching the video. Love & Respect from Portland Oregon USA
It will ease the pain thank u
I had a run with a pain in my heel. Started to run at a normal pace, faster pace in down hill . After the hill slope end , i run faster pace than normal and i started to feel pain in my right heel, after some time could not step on my right heel anymore, i ran on my tips . The next day , could not walk. i have broken some tissue inside , don't know what , i put cold over to help in faster recovery. the visible area is medial between the ankle and heel . Is a bit swell and purple because of my rush i guess to finish the run faster... now i know, i don't have to force my body and run more conscious.
If you can help with any info, thanks !
Thank you for your videos ! you are amazing :D
These guys are legends
Instant relief! You guys are the best!
Our pleasure!
Sharp shoulder pain, from exercise, when moving through certain angles. Had made long pole to use, daily, with B&B's 'Perfect Posture' vid so used it with first stretch shown with Booyah Stik and amazingly effective. (Pressing hand on counter had only offered marginal relief.) After two sessions with pole stretches, improved use of shoulder/arm, little discomfort, greater range of motion. Thanks!
You guys are amazing m! You never disappoint ✊
Defo the best of the net, first you guys helped with my bicept pain, the pain is gone now thanks to your therapy now im 85% sure i have a impediment, 15% think it could be a collar bone thing..
Thank you, This is great, but what exercises if the pain comes from the neck ( as a result of bulge neck disc)
thank you god bless you
Very good, ´´Keep going. Be all in. - Bryan Hutchinson´´
I'm so thankful I found you! About 2 months ago my right shoulder began feeling painfully impinged. I can't remember doing anything to my shoulder to cause this much pain! I failed all 3 impingement tests. I'm going to do all your impingement exercises and will let you know the results! Thank you! I pray they work!
Is your shoulder better?
Bob and Brad, as always, I always refer to your videos first. My right shoulder popped out a few weeks ago and has been hurting since. About 10 years ago, I had an injury to the shoulder, and all the sports medicine surgeon could do was clean the shoulder out.
The shoulder has been weak and hurting, and I failed the impingement tests. I will try the exercises you showed. Thank you!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I always thought it was my rotator cuff but looks like its just an impingement.
Great video. Impingement 😊
After using my mouse working from home and I’ve developed a super sore spot on my upper arm just below my shoulder. I am working thru the pain, but Do you think ice and rest and stretches can ease the pain?
The massage from another one of your videos helped tremendously. If that works, I thought to try my tens unit. I will do that for a bit and then do all the exercises you recommend! Since I don’t know exactly what the issue(s) is without going to my PT because of having MS and covid, I will try your recommendations in the mean time. I had bursitis in my shoulder because of a tripping over the cat fall, at least I have an idea of what the issue could be. I cured it ( or helped it) with exercise.
Going through this now! Shoulder pain while laying on my back😞
Same. Did you figure out what is causing it?
Hey guys so I wear a vest with heavy plates in it for work my shoulder issue starts with my right trap then my right deltoid starts having a cramp pinch like feeling which is annoying but once my vest comes off I feel much better but a little sore from those areas.
I get pain on the outside of the shoulder on certain motions and usually with even a little weight, like 5lbs is when it really hurts. Which one is that and how do I fix it? My neck feels stiff as well.
Hi had a fall trying to feed a horse over a fence I fell backwards but on my left arm Which was straight along body line I feel also my right arm is having tingling feels and feels pressure when chainring gears In my car I do not know which is the best exercise for this situation. Thank you ma
What about if the pain is shooting down the bicep into the interior elbow?
Gentlemen, Thank you! 🙌
HOW IS BOB DOING MISS HIM❤
My right shoulder (front of shoulder) experiences pain when I try to reach behind my back. It affects and hurts a lot when I'm trying to take off a jack or sweater. At 9:36s in the video would be where I would be in pain. Also same should would hurt if I tried a dead hang. What can I do to fix this pain?
Any video for pain on the back of the shoulder when you do the 3rd test for impingement?
I have added this to our to do list! Thank you for the suggestion!
and I appreciate your response,@@BobandBrad -- I just passed through my doctor who said I have a good motion range, but a lot of pain - most likely a tendinitis but need exams for confirmation - the question is - I have been doing the vast majority of shoulder exercises that you teach, for the past 2 months, but I still have a lot of pain and not getting better... not sure what else to do to alleviate the pain.
I can't get my bad arm past my side. Can't do the back scratcher. I have problems putting pants on, tightening my belt, any motions over the head or to the back like washing hair, washing back, and sorry if TMI, wiping after using the bathroom. Had an MRI which showed my rotator cuff is intact. Haven't been back to the doctor since MRI due to work/finances, so I don't know what he will say is wrong, but I just want my life back! Can't do many exercises because of pain. Had cervical fusion 4 months ago but 70% of my pain is on the side of my shoulder (arm sleeve area) and far back towards the top of my shoulder. Have been doing what neck exercises PT told me to do post surgery, but some I cannot because of my shoulder. Wish y'all did house calls!
Can I do strength training if I got shoulder impringment
Just reaching over to may left shoulder causing already pain on my right shoulder, is this impingement? I think I got it when doing pull ups.
What if when you do the straight arm test and you have painful snapping on the way down?
I’ve been struggling with an occipital nueroma for 5 years now. It has grown and caused pain in my neck/shoulder. Any insight on neuromas (non malignant tumors of nerves?) or occipital neuralgia?
Thank you so much for your videos
Pretty sure I have an impingement. Y’all fixed my Achilles tendonitis so I’m counting on y’all to fix my shoulder. Y’all are amazing!
Hope it helps!!
@@BobandBrad so far it is helping! Thank you so much!!!
I have posterior should pain when externally rotating my shoulder...imagine the cocked position of a baseball pitch....Any ideas?
I wrenched my right shoulder as I fell on my left arm, fracturing the left radial head. My right shoulder hurts more despite having more movement than the left. I have doused my shoulder in Olbas oil, night & day & taken naproxen 3 times a day but the pain is worse. Googled various sites that show examination to diagnose problem but none have described how I get the most pain. If my right arm is bent at the elbow & held close to my body if I move it outwards like a birds wing I get pain across the top of my arm. It’s also painful when laying down & also “catches” sometimes causing pain. I’m at my wits end. Any ideas?
I woke up on one morning with my whole left shoulder killing me it hurts to move it at all and I don't what to do?
I miss hanging on those gym class Circle swings . The teacher got mad I just got dizzy Fun !
How about I lay flat and can’t lift right arm over chest need to use other hand to pull up arm but arm can go sideways to over head to sleep
Mine always gets a click stuck and then I have rotate it or lift it up high to click it and then it gets rid of some pain , but what is that?
Excellent video
I had a shoulder reversal surgery on my right shoulder since I could not raise either arm. Now after 4 months I still cannot raise either arm. I have been in therapy since surgery, but I cannot raise my right arm higher than vertical. Laying flat I can raise it over my head. Doctor tells me it takes 9 to 12 months. I seem to be stuck at that level for the last month. Any suggestions? I am very discouraged by now.
what if it clicks and you have to work it out?
What exercises shall do if the pain comes from the neck ( neck bulge disc) Thank you
Posture exercises to improve it
Best 😍😍😍
What about more stiffness? I threw out my shoulder throwing a dodgeball a few years back and at first, it hurt soooo bad, but Now i can get random pains on and off usually doing push ups, but it mainly feels stiff!
My shoulder started hurting right around the time of doing off-handed dodgeball throwing. I was wondering if that did it.
@@papabravo6449 - oh no...!! Maybe it is the same :/
I pass these tests, but I can barely put my hand to my ear when my elbow is in front. No problem doing it with my elbow out to the side. I don't know what this is.
~Friend made me a stick with pvc & rubber ends...has helped my deltoid muscle that really hurts. Chicken exercise helps
I cant tell. Is it a sharp pain??? My shoulders been sore for 2 days so its hard to identify any other pains besides the constant one
What causes impingement?
lets see..west nile, malaria, covid twice.. shot, knifed..horses, bulls..hit by trucks.. plane crashes.. broke 100s of bones.. mortar concussions.. im really not sure why my body is sore
Sounds like you need to write a book

Are you Meredith Grey?
I’ve been in pt for weeks for a shoulder impingement. I’m still sore I’ve been sore for a year and a half. I’m negative for all tests. What do i do??!!!!

@@nicks1644 is it more of a placebo effect
I’m a 4.5 tennis player and been diagnosed with shoulder impingement after x-Ray and ultrasound. Have had physio and acupuncture treatment as well, but remain with shoulder pain. (Appreciated your sleeping position video too.). I seem to Be able to do range of motion movements- not without some discomfort. You hit the angle test on the nose for me, I can do fine u til parallel with ground then once though 90 degrees to straight up then it’s ok. At any rate I find that my shoulder and bicep are just extremely weak now. I can’t strike a tennis ball like I used to. Power just not there. Any tips where both shoulder and bicep are involved, weak and painful? Thanks for your videos and advice.
the tests in this vid did not give me pain but l have in shoulder pain....so seems not a complete pain test in this vid , like it came strong when sitting down on sofa and putting hand down first and put weight on it. biking gives pain .
why does mine hurt like crazy, then other times no pain. wierd?
Why didnt u cover labrum tear
Damn all three are positive
