Thanks for responding to my email request to do a video on shoulder impingement which is restricting my shoulder and hand movement above shoulder since last two years.
I've had PT for double shoulder impingement and they still are very painful. These ideas Dr. Oliver gives are an excellent start. They can help immediately for pain. I need to find what more I can do. I'll look through his videos. Thank you Dr. Oliver!
Thank you. I kept waiting for the shoulder to heal itself and it seems like it's not going to happen, so I will definitely try these exercises and hope for the best. It's already been 3 months with this annoying pain.
Dr. Oliver - this is fantastic. I cannot take NSAIDs due to kidney disease and my subacronioal bursa is ANGRY!! I will be starting these exercises today. Thanks for being so clear.
Im glad i found your video. I have subacromial impingement type 2, and slap tear type 2, plus subcapularis tendendon.. can i do your exercises? Also, i refused the cortisone injection, im under 40th and im worry to don't make some more damage to the soft tissue. . Thank you again for your video
Did your 3 test to see if i had the condition, positive with alot of pain on all, then i saw this vid, and that ball massage, thank you so much, it worked instant after i went trough pecs and lats and reduced the pain by 80%
I suffered both shoulders impingement over 3 years. Ended up having operations. Bone spur were the cause of it. I recommend people to have mri scan to ensure it’s not bone spur impingement. Also of course as exercises.
I have pain in both shoulders too.Did you see your primary care physician first, an orthopedic surgeon or a chiropractor? Just wondering where I should start to get the fastest relief
Yes I have that impingement on my left arm, used to swim a lot b4 pandemic and do all kind of exercises too, plus I’m a HD by trade so my arm is where I hold the dryer, I was good until one day I went swimming and grocery shopping afterwards. When I was opening door age of my shoe got stacked on bottom edge and had a bag in my left arm and pushed it back with it to open door to release my shoe. I felt a strong internal pinch but just robbed it after to alleviate the shoulder pain. The next day felt not great , i searched for help in yt and did the exercises but the following day my area got swollen uncomfortable 🥵 it got inflamed. I put ice just then. It’s been 3 months now and doesn’t seem to go away. Went to the physiotherapist gave me ultrasound and suggested few exercises too. Also went to an RMT and cupping too. So now I do my exercises slowly and it seems to relives pain a bit I open my arm a bit up but just when I had just done the exercises. It comes back again .so my Q is ? Will I get better ,cure it or is it gonna become chronic? Suggestion anyone similar to my case? Thanks for reading! Oh btw, I’m still working and using that arm but that doesn’t seem to get in the way .yes it’s repetitive movement that maybe affects that impingement area!? I f I don’t work I don’t eat 😝 so it’s hard but need help bc I really enjoy swimming .
Similar situation, I took up swimming a year or so ago and was going along ok, but one day decided to push with an extra 12 laps. That's when the pain started. It's been two months now and both shoulders hurt all the time. I went to orthopedics and had xrays to rule out other problems and he did some physical exam tests and diagnosed bilateral shoulder impingement. Gave me four exercises to do 3x day five days a week. But so far they seem to be aggravating the pain. Very frustrating and I am wonder if I will ever be able to go back to swimming too!
I had bilateral knee replacements in February and now both shoulders hurt, especially my right. Understandably because I'm right handed. I'll try these exercises. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips! I just got my diagnosis yesterday of impingement of the shoulder. (after waiting a week for my virtual doctor appt.). I like the pendulem exercise, and using ICE a few times a day is helpful to know, as I'm not doing it enough. Also, the self massage with the ball was useful. Many thanks!
I have had this for going on 5 days and I go back today to my sports doc for a 3rd treatment, my nerve is pinched and it is impossible to lift my arm.. I'm so tired of hurting and not being able to wash my hair properly.. when will this get better? will it ever? please say it will... 😕
I work as a commercial truck driver and had this problem for two weeks. Couldn’t move right arm came from out of nowhere. Took a week off and slowly was able to move arm but pain never fully went away. Good luck.
Great video! If I can add - the most common reason about it is the lack of mobility in that joint :(. So little people can lift their arm overhead without compensating. Keep it up!
Thank you for this video! It's the only video explaining slow progression of treatment. Most of other videos just recommend doing exercises that are painful for me right now. Will taking Ibuprofen help along with applying cold packs?
Great video…I’m nearly 70years old and I’m trying to improve my back muscles with pull ups, this is possibly the root cause of my right shoulder impingement.. Will I be able to resume my push ups …pull ups etc….it’s hard to keep going when your shoulder gives you pain.
I have shoulder impingement due to calcific tendinitis--the calcium is very large. Cortisone shot didn't last so I've opted for surgery and phys therapy. I'm seeking exercises to have strength and good range of motion prior to the procedure. The officer worker hit home with me because that's what I did all my life. 11/22/22.
Very effective exercises, thank you! Do you have a video for tennis elbow? I've looked through your videos but I couldn't see one. Please create one if not, as I am currently suffering from forearm pain, and clearly you know what you're talking about 👍
What study diagnoses this? I just had a bunch of MRI and X-Rays and they showed allegedlly nothing, yet I feel pain like im dying I just cant feel like living anymore.
I had distal clavicle excision. When I went to p t, I noticed that I didn’t do some of the exercises that those with rotator cuff surgery were doing. Is that normal. If so, is that because distal clavicle surgery isn’t as involved as rotator cuff surgery
Hi , I've been told i have impinged shoulder but i also have occasional mild tingling in my left thumb , fore finger and middle finger as well as pain in my shoulder . Are there different exercises for this ....?

@@naturebound2901 any updates, have some exercises helped you?
Great video. Not too many show the correct way to do the pendulum exercise. Thank you.

Great video. Thank you very much.
Thanks a lot! Im having this now for 3 years only on my right shoulder. sometimes it comes back when sleeping wrong or having a bench press workout
Have you visited any doctors?
Thank you for exercises but I want to know how to make out tenderness when rolling the ball
Start at 5:50
Great video!

10:14 so allow it to hang even if the shoulder blade is off the back? No need to be sure it stays back?

Very good Communicator.

Question: can driving in terms of seating position can cause an impingement??
I’m not experiencing the acute pain. How to I do contrast therapy for my shoulder issues?
Id go to a therapist for a once off test and get the right exercise for your issue .. Maybe you have already !!!:)
I had distal clavicle excision. When I went to p t, I noticed that I didn’t do some of the exercises that those with rotator cuff surgery were doing. Is that normal. If so, is that because distal clavicle surgery isn’t as involved as rotator cuff surgery
Thank for this very informative video👌
Information ℹ️
Which type of ball that you are using in this video?
You can use a lacrosse ball, massage ball, or even a tennis ball.
I have impingement because of my hypermobility. Are the excercises still suitable for me?
Yes I do them myself as I have shoulder impingement too mate
Hi , I've been told i have impinged shoulder but i also have occasional mild tingling in my left thumb , fore finger and middle finger as well as pain in my shoulder . Are there different exercises for this ....?
Hey doc i have corocoacromial lig impentgmet. Is it the same syndrom??
The pendulum exercise was new to me and feels very good.
3 years with impingement...so far without any major change (even with surgery)
Gosh….sorry to hear that. I’ve had it a year now. It’s annoying.
Please do a video to get long neck.
😂😂
Let this be the first video, for your shoulder. Then view all the others for rehab & exercises.
Is this the movements i need for treating SIRVA?
No SIRVA is a problem of inflammation after an injection. Often it needs an antiiflammatory injection
it fakkin hurts
If I have shoulder impengment is baseball or push-ups bad to keep doing?
Yes, refrain from doing or playing push-up/baseball in the meantime until you fix your impingement.
Don’t forget weightlifters
