exercises timestamps for myself: 2:50 shoulder squeezes 3:20 chair push down 5:23 - doorway stretch 7:58 grab pillow or towel to put under your forehead - lie down, stretch out arms then lift (different variations) 9:08 - use resistance bands for external rotation, can do both or one arm - use towel under arms to make sure you don’t bring elbow out too much 9:42 - internal rotation 10:07 - resistance bands downward pull most of the important parts ;) also welcome to the shoulder impingement group ;P Update as of 27-10-2024 - so when I first put this comment down 4 years ago, I actually slacked off and Covid completely put me off doing these, However, as of this date, I started working out a month ago and couldn’t lift even slightly heavy at all, same as 4 years ago, but I started doing these straight after and it has definitely helped, I was able to lift much higher than I was able to previously, but… I can’t lift very heavy, which isnt surprising as physio isn’t meant to cure the problem in a week or 2, I was told by my doctor I had “mild” shoulder impingement, so it should take at least 1-2 months of consistent physio, remind me at end of 2024 for an update 🫡

The chair one...worked immediately. I walked into the kitchen right after and reached up for a coffee can with my right arm that I could not reach with it this morning. Crazy! 8 months of pain, especially trying to sleep. Not all gone, but have some hope with these exercises.
I am a self-employed digital artist which means I'm at my desk working at my computer A LOT. I was already doing exercises and stretches from 2-3 of your videos to help with avoiding RSI and carpal tunnel, and upon getting bad neck and shoulder pains I knew exactly who to go to! You guys are lifesavers! I literally wouldnt be able to do my job without you!
I’m at my desk 4hrs a day doing listings on eBay and the repetitive motion with the right hand has cause the same thing. Makes me not want to work cuz the pain is so bad.
Thanks Guys! Testimonial here! I had a shoulder impingement that was so bad, I thought I may have possibly torn a rotator cuff tendon; it was like a hot poker jamming into the top of my shoulder even at rest. In fact, there was no comfortable position that I could hold it in without excruciating pain. Luckily, you guys are so famous, I was able to find you. Moving my arm at all was extremely painful, I was able to do the exercise to push my shoulder blades together and down, which although sore, it actually felt pretty good. I was scared to death to put my arm out and grab the chair and push down, which admittedly was sore, BUT, I pushed down and walked back, just as you instructed and amazingly it felt pretty good. I repeated the 2 exercises every hour or two over the next 24 hours and just about a day and a half later my shoulder was almost completely back to normal, the pain went from 10+ down to 1 or 2 and no pain at all with the arm at rest. I could not sleep for 2 days the pain was so intense and the effect of these exercises was miraculous! I watch you guys all the time, you always have so many great tips, if I could I would give both you guys a big hug, God bless you!
Hi Bob and Brad.I wanna say thanks to both of you.I fell down on the floor two months ago and got pain in my shoulders and arms.it was a continuous pain.since yesterday,i am doing these exercises and have got so kuch relief.Before to this ,i thought i have developed a permanent pain which will never go away.but i realised that i was not treated well.Thank you both of you for your services.Love from India.
As for as I can remember I had this pain from 10th grade and it's been like 9 years of hearing clicking, popping, accompanied by minor pain in my left shoulder and out of nowhere it started to give me pain even without rotating today. I did your exercises and I can feel the relief. Still got some pain and at least I can help no hurt too much until I visit the hospital. I told my parents but they neglected it saying it's my imagination and everyone gets popping sound and pain. I've been neglected emotionally my whole life so this sudden pain feel like I deserve it and it's all my fault for being passive about my pain. Please don't neglect any child. If a child is sitting alone go and speak with them.
@@klausineliebtpeter you mean you had to undergo spinal fusion surgery because you neglected pain in your shoulder?? That's terrible. And I've been experiencing some pain near my neck for a while. Can you please elaborate what you went through?
@@debmitra4384 no I didn't ever reach for medical assistance. The shoulder is still the same way it was before, but now I do this exercise of pushing down and stepping back, can feel huge difference after doing it for a while until the pain comes back(usually after few days). I'm thinking about physiotherapy in future. Right now it's manageable.

I didnt realise how easily a bit of shoulder pain turn int full impingement and my GP just gave some painkillers and I needed to wait for long time before being able to see a physiotherapist. These exercise helped me to get rid in a week to the point that I can do any strenuous activity like lifting heavy stuff now.
Oh my god. I hurt my shoulder yesterday, I have no idea how. But the pain was so bad I could barely lift a drink to my mouth, I had to use my right arm (non dominant) for everything. I could tell this was something I was gonna be dealing with for weeks or months. But then, my friends linked me this video. I tried the exercises, and i already have a massively improved range of motion. I still have pain and dont think i can lift or reach for a few days, but I am already convinced that this will be a much quicker ordeal than I anticipated. Thank you so much guys. I am seriously in tears right now because of the gratitude I feel. Thank you thank you thank you
I fractured my humerus almost a month ago & injured my rotator cuff. I’ve been In severe pain And could not raise my arm up to the side for anything. I just wanted to tell you guys THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! After watching your videos and Implementing your advice, I can now lift my arm. What a blessing!!! Thank you again guys this is unbelievable. Keep doing what you’re doing! 🤗
SO happy I found you! I've been suffering with shoulder pain for months! Started doing exercises, and massage to the tendon, and today my shoulder pain is at a 3, and yesterday it was a 9 (on a scale of 10)! Can't thank you enough for sharing!
I used my table instead of a chair. Did it with 4 reps and I was already able to lift my arm with no pain. This just saved me!!! I will be doing every single exercise. Thank you so much
Just found y'all yesterday. I'm 72, I have degenerative arthritis, I golf 2-3 days/week, lots of physical activity. About 6 days ago I started having a sharp pain in my right shoulder. Heat / Ice / vibration nothing helped. I tried the shoulder chair impingement exercise and within 3 hours (doing it 3 times / hour) the pain was gone. Woke up this morning feels great. Thank you very, very much. Your new subscriber.
I just checked my diagnostic report and I have calcific tendonitis + bursitis + impingement in my dominant shoulder. Thanks to it being the Christmas / New Year break, and having a son with moderate to severe autism, I can't get in to a therapist; but with your knowledge freely available i can still do something about the injury! Thanks guys!
What a difference the exercises made. First I used your videos to diagnose the impingement then the above video to relieve the pain. back to working out. Thanks guys
Months of going to pT and they told me it was my neck never got better! Watched this once did the chair exercise omg first night I’ve slept right and woke up with some movement and less pain thank god TH-cam suggested this thank you!!!
Bob and Brad cured my shoulder impingement! The exercise with the chair was the most effective for me. I'd been to the doctor, but the exercises they had given me were more for rotator cuff. After about six months of constant pain and limited motion, I found this video and starting with the chair exercise. I started feeling improvement quickly! Now several months later my shoulder is basically good again. Thanks Bob and Brad!
I don't want to speak too soon but I have been doing these stretches after 5 months out of the gym and having pain in my shoulder these stretches after 4 days the pain is subsiding this is incredible thank you so much guys you are amazing.
I originally thought I aggravated my deltoid, but after the issue didn't seem to being going away i started researching more. I have been in pain for weeks, from doing a lot of drywall/sanding on a renovation. vaulted ceilings, using the pole sander murdered my shoulder but we had deadlines so i powered through. Anyways, after doing the recommended foam roller and chair exercises, i experienced the relief I've been chasing for weeks. you guys are amazing, thank you for putting this information out there for free. If only i was as good at finding quality content quickly, as you are at delivering and producing it. Thank you so much!
Thumbs UP! I basically could not use my right arm for two weeks. Impossible to raise more than half way. Finally took advil, did nothing…. Did all these exercises and they hurt to do but within the first day, full range of motion. Never pain running to forearm gone. Will keep it up. THANK YOU!!!! Usually told not to move to heal but that only made it much worse every day. This helped in a few hours! Thank you again!
I have had scapula, tenes major, tenes minor, deltoid and neck pain from cardio boxing for a year! I had an xray, 3 steroid Injections and MRI which showed nothing. I woke up at night in pain and even got some exercises from a physical therapist (for my $55 copay) that didn’t work! I finally avoided working out all together. ONE DAY I did 5-an-hour shoulder squeezes and 5-an-hour chair pushing moves, like you demonstrated, using my desk at work and the pain is GONE! Yesterday was day 2, same thing! I haven’t done the moves today and I’m a little stiff (going to do the moves now!) but WOW what a miracle! Thanks sooo much! You guys are helping a lot of people! I’ll recommend you to anyone suffering!
I love your videos! I'm a pre-PT student studying kinesiology and exercise science, learning online has been tough but, watching your videos has helped me to apply what I learn in class to a real-life setting!
I am so grateful that channels such as this exist. I woke up with shoulder pain and a numb thumb 4 days ago, and it has only gotten worse. These exercises really gave me relief this morning. The chair exercise in particular gave immediate pain relief. I may avoid a doctor's visit if I continue with these! Thanks so much guys!❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Been in pain for 5 Days!....I was going to doc after a week!! Now i know what this pain is!!!..... I will do all thes exercises and see how it goes!....It feels a little better after the 2 first exercises!!!! #PRAYING
Nicely illustrated ..... These exercises work really very well. This has been most useful in providing almost immediate relief of pain. Thank you for these exercises and as well for your light hearted approach.
1. Fixing your posture: open chest, shoulders externally rotated 2. Scapular retraction 3. Isometric push with counter or chair walk out 4. Chest stretches (doorway pectoral stretch - mid, low, or high, lay on back on foam roller - chest/shoulder muscles relaxed) 5. Prone Y's, T's, extension 6. Resisted external rotation or no monies (towel roll under elbow) 7. Resisted internal rotation 8. Resisted mid rows Great Shoulder workout for impingement!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! After six months or more of not being able to put my arm straight up and the pain increasing to being pretty bad. In 24 hours, I am close to being like new!!! No pain at all when I reach across my body.
Yes, the sleeping tips and stretches worked! I've been stuggeling with inpingement for about 5 years. Now I discovered that my sleeping posture was stressing the shoulder tremendously. Other posture and a few tips and man do I feel better. Thanks so much!!
I just did the chair exercise, and noticed a huge difference in my shoulder. I've had issues with my shoulder for years because of sports injuries. I've done many of this exercises in the past from physical therapy, but the chair one is new to me. Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll be back in the mat soon. And yes I've already gone to my doctor lol.
Thank you guys, you have cured my wife's shoulder problem she has had for 18 months, she fell off a chair while putting stuff on top of the wardrobe, she hurt her scaphoid bone in her hand, so they put a splint on her hand, while she was still at the hospital she shown them that she could not externally rotate her right hand, but they just ignored her, she has had shoulder and back pain ever since, just a few minutes doing your exercises has cured her problem.
I’m a disc golfer. My shoulder and upper arm recently began to hurt terribly. I couldn’t find a way to throw that didn’t extend the pain. This video eased my pain immediately. In just a few days of rest and these exercises I was able to return to throw again. Thanks for your advice.
Thanks a lot guys. I came back from Malaysia to the Netherlands and almost immediately started having this pain when lifting my arm. This helped very fast.
The chair exercise was very helpful for me. I felt a pop in my shoulder as soon as I started it and immediately afterwards there was less pain and an improved range of motion.
I had a pop too, I keep feeling the pop doing it and I don’t know what it is. Hopefully it isn’t serious. Whenever I even move my arm laterally I feel it whenever my arm is horizontal. This same popping sound occurs on the chair exercise aswell. No pain during the pop though, any suggestions would be appreciated
Just want send over a huge thank you! I woke up this morning not able to lift my arm because of impingement. Now I am able to move it and I am now pain free for work. Thanks so much!
73 yr old female here, forced to use a walker for 3 yrs waiting with 2x bone on bone arthitis and getting 2x TKR. After 3 yrs on the walker, the pain and impingement in bother arms began a couple of months after the 2nd TKR. Went to PT and now I am getting an MRI to see what is up. So much pain for the last 2 months, especially at night. Regular OTC Tylenol and Advil barely help. Checking this site for more exercises to help get by until I can get this treated well.
You guys are great. Wish i could have seen you with my current shoulder problem. Saw i orthropedic, but worried he diagnosed me incorrectly. He said rotator cuff tendenitus & bursitis. I think it is shoulder impingement. I cant move my right arm behind my back. Pain is not constant. Only with repetitive motion like brushing teeth, showing, even laying down. It hurts like hell, terrible pain, even feel a,little behind neck. Im hoping these exercises help.
You guys are geniuses. I was experiencing this pain for several days and did the recommended exercises. I literally got immediate relief. Thank you so much!!!!
I had a case of shoulder impingement along with a minor bicep strain around October last year. it really sucked I relied on the advice of some of your old videos during my recovery process. I'm happy to say that both have healed after 4 months of doing your exercises almost every day. I've been back at gym for about 2-3 months and I'm almost back to where I was ito of strength before the injuries. I want to thank you guys for the great work you are both doing. it's Mich appreciated. all the way from South Africa.
That's good to hear. Unfortunately i'm in the same position now as you were and it sucks. I can't bench press with a barbell anymore and i can't hit my side delts as lateral raises are to painful. Did you still train with this injury or did you wait until it had healed? 4 months out the gym for me will be total torture, i miss a couple days and i'm tearing my hair out
I got some great advice from these guys on another video around golfer's elbow - I've been struggling with shoulder pain that had caused me to back off lifting, on another video from Bob and Brad I could concur it was shoulder impingement (which is what I thought but I wasn't sure) and even just a day of doing these excersizes I can already feel the benefit. Amazing. Thanks guys ... I know they are a bit goofy but this information is golden. I really appreciate the effort to do these videos and put this information out there. I suppose it's time I finally try to address my terrible posture properly!!
I've never knew what shoulder impingement was until I saw this video and its definitely something I've been dealing with since I was a teenager. I'm now 43 and just trying to correct it and I know it may not be possible at my age but I will continue to try these exercises. Good vid.
You guys are AMAZING. I used some of the techniques from this video and some from one of your other videos and within TWO days my pain was almost completely gone. Thank you!
Wow, suffering for 6 weeks now - didn't know what was wrong. Family member who've had rotator cuff surgeries were just CERTAIN that's what I had going on. I took the self-assessment and pinpointed "impingement" as the most likely issue, and after only 6 days of the stretches and exercises, I'm about 95% back to normal!! THANK YOU!!!!
I had been dealing with pain for a whole week on both shoulders. I woke up almost crying because of it! I tried these today and when doing the door exercise , I heard a loud crack and got instant relief. Thank you so so much!😊
This is gonna be a long comment, whoever wants to read the details can go ahead, and i'm gonna leave a TLDR here for those who dont feel like it TLDR: Had tendonitis,extreme pain, took Doctor's advice, layed off the gym for 2 years, but pain returned as soon as i returned to the gym. Found these videos, did the movement shown at 3:43 as well as some dead hangs shown in other video, and tendonitis VANISHED. Hey guys I just came back here to say that you saved me a whole lot of trouble, pain , expenses and general suffering. This video and the other one with the dead hangs literally saved my shoulders. One week in of simply doing these two things and the pain was 90% gone. So was impingement, and exercises that used to cause pain at the gym are now pain free and with no post-workout inflammation and pain. In general my tendonitis has almost vaporized. 3 weeks in right now I keep getting better and as soon as I address the issue that causes this, which is probably my shoulder rotation, I'm sure my tendonitis will be gone for good. I've had this issue for a total of 3 years. When it first started I went to the doc, he told me usual crap, stay off it, take these NSAIDS, ice it, relax on the gym, stop working it so much, blah blah. All useless bullshit and that was confirmed when I took the next two 2 years after that incident completely off from the gym (not because of the tendonitis but because of life). At least I hoped now that i layed off for so long my shoulder issues will be gone. But NOPE. 1 week back in the gym I was already crippled by pain. That's when I looked on the **GOD BLESSED PRODUCT OF CAPITALISM CALLED THE INTERNET** and found your videos. As I already said, 1 week later my issue was 90% gone. No drugs, no laying off from the gym ,nothing. I kept going hard at the gym and just did these 2 exercises. poof. pain gone, simple as that. So thank you again for putting these out there. This would have fucked me up if it wasn't for you people. i'm deeply grateful.
moikanos11 I just discovered these videos as I , too, was told ‘rest, stretch, ice, anti inflammatory drugs, and no gym’ for 6 months now with no improvement. Just now the chair exercise has relieved some of my pain. Will comment again in a week with an update.
I've had problems with my left shoulder for 2 years now with lots of pain and loss of range of motion. Saw your video on Monday, did your exercises and the range of motion is near normal again. THAT'S JUST 3 DAYS!!! Still a bit sore but I'm confident that will subside now. Can't thank you enough!
Standing dumbbell kick back rows with thumbs down is amazing. Y raises, or any full range of motion raise and standing reverse fly with dumbells in front of chest. These will fix any shoulder pain.
In my school, I didn't understand what shoulder impingement was. Brad and Bob explained well what this condition is all about. In a nutshell, shoulder impingement refers to compression of the rotator cuff tendons due to shoulder movements. It will eventually lead to shoulder pain.
This is perfect for many musicians. Shoulder impingement is a huge problem. Thank you. I'm so glad I found your channel. It is the most helpful information I have been able to find. It is wonderful that you guys provide this information. Thank you.
Hi Bob & Brad, I just wanted to add a THANK YOU comment to let you know I used these exercises and they FIXED my shoulder impingement! It is goooonnnne... what a relief! :)
Thanks. My shoulder pain is affecting my life. It is in the left shoulder and the pain is very acute and then subsides over 30 seconds to a minute. I was referred to a PT about the time COVID-19 restrictions began and I didn't like the way the PT office sanitized so I stopped going. I ordered new bands and your video refreshed my memory. I'm going to do this again and see if I can help myself.
I had impingement in both shoulders. I thought I was going to have to take time off of work to heal. These exercises gave me immediate relief. Now, I'm brachiating as well. Thank you both for educating me. It has changed my life.
I had been struggling with a shoulder impingement I picked up while rock climbing for about two weeks. I tried the second exercise and felt a pop, and just like that, pain gone!! Thanks guys!
I had this condition for almost 6 months now due to awkward sleeping. I can't do pushups or lift my right shoulder highee. I always feel a sharp pain. Thanks for this video now the pain is lesser. I heard a popping noise on my right shoulder while doing the first exercise. Will do it everyday and hopefully I can recover finally.
I have been so worried about a rotator tear. I watched your diagnosis video, and found out none of the tear "trigger" exercises made me hurt except #7. I did these stretches and feel great. Thank you!
WOW! I have had shoulder impingement so bad, the pain made me nauseous and on the verge of passing out. I just did the "pushing down on the chair" technique and on the 3rd rep, heard and felt my shoulder joint pop. No pain at all, and the pain relief was incredible. Thank you guys. Count me in as a new subscriber!
Thank you so much, Bob and Brad. These exercises along with hanging from a pullup bar (which you showed in a different video) helped my shoulder impingement and pain almost immediately! Really awesome. Very grateful!
Those resistance band exercises are a blessing oh my goodness! Thank you both so much. Also, never knew posture could affect your shoulders! This channel is a life saver ❤️
Thanks guys, this, with some posture changes, has virtually eliminated by shoulder pain I was experiencing with most pushing movements. It was the chair and hands over the head exercise, although I looped elastic bands and used them for the same motion. Im not sure what was wrong exactly but after a few weeks of exercising this way my pain is mostly cured. Thank god I didnt let an orthopedist start digging into me!
hi Bob and Brad, I was up in the middle of the night tonight with impingement / frozen shoulder pain, found your vids and did the main exercises/stretches a few sets and I already feel so much relief! I seriously cant thank you enough because I was feeling pretty discouraged. I had forgotten about the fact that my postural internally rotated shoulder definitely aggravates this condition. Thanks again for the reminder, for the awesome videos and for making me laugh too!😊
After having impinged shoulder aka bursitis of the shoulder for over 2 month i started brachiating . Hanging from a bar for 10 minutes a day and after 2 weeks the pain went away completely. I now include it as part of my workout routine. I hope this helps someone out there suffering from shoulder pain.
I'm inspired by your response. Can you tell me 2 things: 1) was the pain diagnosed by some sort of pro as "impingement" or bursitis or were you guessing? and 2) When you say hang, do you mean dead hang with no muscle tension other than your grip strength? or did you keep your arms and torso flexed. Thank you Os Cj!
I found this very helpful & healthful. The pain in my shoulder affected my sleep at night. I had discomfort during the day & pain at night. Copying your exercises, the discomfort and pain has completely gone away. Thank you so much.
omg. you guys are too funny. and extremely helpful! i just did the "outies" and it totally fixed my shoulder pain!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot believe how amazing i feel now. i've been in pain for so long and couldn't lift groceries out of my car. so thankful for some relief. many thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this video. I was in terrible pain (8) and after doing the first to exercises it started to subside. And now after continuing several times a day - 2 days later I have almost complete mobility back and the pain is practically gone. This was an answer to prayer.
Y'all have helped me so much, kinda transformed my life! I'm in my 60s, and have had steadily increasing joint and muscle pain for decades--until I discovered your channel! My posture is improving, my mobility noticeably better, and pains are diminishing. I've even created a playlist, "Feeling Better), ~90% of which is made up of your videos! You are a true blessing. I also love your opening quotes, those have helped me, too! Thank you.
"hey this is a nice shirt Bob." Yeah, subscribed after this one. Having some shoulder issues and this seems nice, simple advice to start fixing them. Thanks.
WOW!! Thank you guys... I just did the massage on my tendon and it was like a miracle. It relieved my shoulder pain by at least 70%... I can not thank you enough..
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! I've had Impingement for the better part of 6 months now. I did all these exercises and now I'm almost pain free. Thank You
Glad to hear it :)
how long did these take to work roughly? i have it bad from gym and want it gone asap

If there's one thing I have learnt from these 2... Its any advice they give never works
exercises timestamps for myself:
2:50 shoulder squeezes
3:20 chair push down
5:23 - doorway stretch
7:58 grab pillow or towel to put under your forehead - lie down, stretch out arms then lift (different variations)
9:08 - use resistance bands for external rotation, can do both or one arm - use towel under arms to make sure you don’t bring elbow out too much
9:42 - internal rotation
10:07 - resistance bands downward pull
most of the important parts ;)
also welcome to the shoulder impingement group ;P
Update as of 27-10-2024 - so when I first put this comment down 4 years ago, I actually slacked off and Covid completely put me off doing these,
However, as of this date, I started working out a month ago and couldn’t lift even slightly heavy at all, same as 4 years ago, but I started doing these straight after and it has definitely helped, I was able to lift much higher than I was able to previously, but… I can’t lift very heavy, which isnt surprising as physio isn’t meant to cure the problem in a week or 2, I was told by my doctor I had “mild” shoulder impingement, so it should take at least 1-2 months of consistent physio, remind me at end of 2024 for an update 🫡
Thanks so much!

The chair one...worked immediately. I walked into the kitchen right after and reached up for a coffee can with my right arm that I could not reach with it this morning. Crazy! 8 months of pain, especially trying to sleep. Not all gone, but have some hope with these exercises.
2 months in. how're you doing now?
Same here. Going to try this tomorrow
Just found this video, started some of these exercises last night. How's things feeling for you now?
^^???
You good now?

As for as I can remember I had this pain from 10th grade and it's been like 9 years of hearing clicking, popping, accompanied by minor pain in my left shoulder and out of nowhere it started to give me pain even without rotating today. I did your exercises and I can feel the relief.
Still got some pain and at least I can help no hurt too much until I visit the hospital. I told my parents but they neglected it saying it's my imagination and everyone gets popping sound and pain. I've been neglected emotionally my whole life so this sudden pain feel like I deserve it and it's all my fault for being passive about my pain.
Please don't neglect any child. If a child is sitting alone go and speak with them.
i had to get my spine fused because my parents neglected me. i wish it was just shoulder impingement.
@@klausineliebtpeter you mean you had to undergo spinal fusion surgery because you neglected pain in your shoulder?? That's terrible. And I've been experiencing some pain near my neck for a while.
Can you please elaborate what you went through?
How's the shoulder now?? Did u need hospitalization??
@@debmitra4384 no I didn't ever reach for medical assistance. The shoulder is still the same way it was before, but now I do this exercise of pushing down and stepping back, can feel huge difference after doing it for a while until the pain comes back(usually after few days). I'm thinking about physiotherapy in future. Right now it's manageable.

THIS is what the internet is for. Good stuff guys!!
AGREED!👏🏼
I didnt realise how easily a bit of shoulder pain turn int full impingement and my GP just gave some painkillers and I needed to wait for long time before being able to see a physiotherapist. These exercise helped me to get rid in a week to the point that I can do any strenuous activity like lifting heavy stuff now.
Oh my god. I hurt my shoulder yesterday, I have no idea how. But the pain was so bad I could barely lift a drink to my mouth, I had to use my right arm (non dominant) for everything. I could tell this was something I was gonna be dealing with for weeks or months.
But then, my friends linked me this video. I tried the exercises, and i already have a massively improved range of motion. I still have pain and dont think i can lift or reach for a few days, but I am already convinced that this will be a much quicker ordeal than I anticipated. Thank you so much guys. I am seriously in tears right now because of the gratitude I feel. Thank you thank you thank you
I love these two. Bert and Ernie of the physio world.
I fractured my humerus almost a month ago & injured my rotator cuff. I’ve been In severe pain And could not raise my arm up to the side for anything. I just wanted to tell you guys THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! After watching your videos and Implementing your advice, I can now lift my arm. What a blessing!!! Thank you again guys this is unbelievable. Keep doing what you’re doing! 🤗
SO happy I found you! I've been suffering with shoulder pain for months! Started doing exercises, and massage to the tendon, and today my shoulder pain is at a 3, and yesterday it was a 9 (on a scale of 10)! Can't thank you enough for sharing!
You guys deserve a million blessings
I used my table instead of a chair. Did it with 4 reps and I was already able to lift my arm with no pain. This just saved me!!! I will be doing every single exercise. Thank you so much
Just found y'all yesterday. I'm 72, I have degenerative arthritis, I golf 2-3 days/week, lots of physical activity. About 6 days ago I started having a sharp pain in my right shoulder. Heat / Ice / vibration nothing helped. I tried the shoulder chair impingement exercise and within 3 hours (doing it 3 times / hour) the pain was gone. Woke up this morning feels great. Thank you very, very much. Your new subscriber.
I just checked my diagnostic report and I have calcific tendonitis + bursitis + impingement in my dominant shoulder.
Thanks to it being the Christmas / New Year break, and having a son with moderate to severe autism, I can't get in to a therapist; but with your knowledge freely available i can still do something about the injury!
Thanks guys!
What a difference the exercises made. First I used your videos to diagnose the impingement then the above video to relieve the pain. back to working out. Thanks guys
Months of going to pT and they told me it was my neck never got better! Watched this once did the chair exercise omg first night I’ve slept right and woke up with some movement and less pain thank god TH-cam suggested this thank you!!!
Bob and Brad cured my shoulder impingement! The exercise with the chair was the most effective for me. I'd been to the doctor, but the exercises they had given me were more for rotator cuff. After about six months of constant pain and limited motion, I found this video and starting with the chair exercise. I started feeling improvement quickly! Now several months later my shoulder is basically good again. Thanks Bob and Brad!
Any updates? I have a pretty wicked shoulder impingement and your comment gives me hope. Are you 100% now?
@@burtrandolph1745 q
@@monggolloyd8363 Fwiw I started following the tips in this video and my shoulder pain is totally gone. Just takes time.
Thanks for the update
I don't want to speak too soon but I have been doing these stretches after 5 months out of the gym and having pain in my shoulder these stretches after 4 days the pain is subsiding this is incredible thank you so much guys you are amazing.
I originally thought I aggravated my deltoid, but after the issue didn't seem to being going away i started researching more. I have been in pain for weeks, from doing a lot of drywall/sanding on a renovation. vaulted ceilings, using the pole sander murdered my shoulder but we had deadlines so i powered through. Anyways, after doing the recommended foam roller and chair exercises, i experienced the relief I've been chasing for weeks. you guys are amazing, thank you for putting this information out there for free. If only i was as good at finding quality content quickly, as you are at delivering and producing it. Thank you so much!
Thumbs UP! I basically could not use my right arm for two weeks. Impossible to raise more than half way. Finally took advil, did nothing….
Did all these exercises and they hurt to do but within the first day, full range of motion. Never pain running to forearm gone. Will keep it up. THANK YOU!!!! Usually told not to move to heal but that only made it much worse every day. This helped in a few hours! Thank you again!
did it worked out 100% arre u cured? :)
I have had scapula, tenes major, tenes minor, deltoid and neck pain from cardio boxing for a year! I had an xray, 3 steroid Injections and MRI which showed nothing. I woke up at night in pain and even got some exercises from a physical therapist (for my $55 copay) that didn’t work! I finally avoided working out all together. ONE DAY I did 5-an-hour shoulder squeezes and 5-an-hour chair pushing moves, like you demonstrated, using my desk at work and the pain is GONE! Yesterday was day 2, same thing! I haven’t done the moves today and I’m a little stiff (going to do the moves now!) but WOW what a miracle! Thanks sooo much! You guys are helping a lot of people! I’ll recommend you to anyone suffering!
I love your videos! I'm a pre-PT student studying kinesiology and exercise science, learning online has been tough but, watching your videos has helped me to apply what I learn in class to a real-life setting!
I am so grateful that channels such as this exist. I woke up with shoulder pain and a numb thumb 4 days ago, and it has only gotten worse. These exercises really gave me relief this morning. The chair exercise in particular gave immediate pain relief. I may avoid a doctor's visit if I continue with these! Thanks so much guys!❤
So happy, Ive found something that works. Especially the walking backwards with the chair. ( Impingement in my shoulder from surfing )
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Been in pain for 5 Days!....I was going to doc after a week!!
Now i know what this pain is!!!.....
I will do all thes exercises and see how it goes!....It feels a little better after the 2 first exercises!!!!
#PRAYING
Nicely illustrated ..... These exercises work really very well. This has been most useful in providing almost immediate relief of pain. Thank you for these exercises and as well for your light hearted approach.
bob and brad, im in the UK and i adore your videos !!!!!!!!!!! you have taught me so much in your videos and i cant thank you enough for that.
I was experiencing this pain for several days and did the recommended exercises. I literally got immediate relief.
Same 🤘👌
Has the relief lasted though?
@@shawn1869 Yeah, I'm good now. It took about 4-5 weeks to completely heal.
1. Fixing your posture: open chest, shoulders externally rotated
2. Scapular retraction
3. Isometric push with counter or chair walk out
4. Chest stretches (doorway pectoral stretch - mid, low, or high, lay on back on foam roller - chest/shoulder muscles relaxed)
5. Prone Y's, T's, extension
6. Resisted external rotation or no monies (towel roll under elbow)
7. Resisted internal rotation
8. Resisted mid rows
Great Shoulder workout for impingement!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! After six months or more of not being able to put my arm straight up and the pain increasing to being pretty bad. In 24 hours, I am close to being like new!!! No pain at all when I reach across my body.
Soooooo helpful!!!!! Great Channel!!!! May you always thrive---you are helping many!!! Blessings!!!!
Yes, the sleeping tips and stretches worked! I've been stuggeling with inpingement for about 5 years. Now I discovered that my sleeping posture was stressing the shoulder tremendously. Other posture and a few tips and man do I feel better. Thanks so much!!
This may sound bizarre but I bought a travel pillow memory foam and it has helped me sleep on my back. It is a little better for my shoulder.
They offer extremely valuable knowledge free of charge!! I appreciate these guys so much!!
I just did the chair exercise, and noticed a huge difference in my shoulder. I've had issues with my shoulder for years because of sports injuries. I've done many of this exercises in the past from physical therapy, but the chair one is new to me.
Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll be back in the mat soon. And yes I've already gone to my doctor lol.
did u managed to come back to training
Thank you guys, you have cured my wife's shoulder problem she has had for 18 months, she fell off a chair while putting stuff on top of the wardrobe, she hurt her scaphoid bone in her hand, so they put a splint on her hand, while she was still at the hospital she shown them that she could not externally rotate her right hand, but they just ignored her, she has had shoulder and back pain ever since, just a few minutes doing your exercises has cured her problem.
I’m a disc golfer. My shoulder and upper arm recently began to hurt terribly. I couldn’t find a way to throw that didn’t extend the pain. This video eased my pain immediately. In just a few days of rest and these exercises I was able to return to throw again. Thanks for your advice.
Thanks a lot guys. I came back from Malaysia to the Netherlands and almost immediately started having this pain when lifting my arm. This helped very fast.
The chair exercise was very helpful for me. I felt a pop in my shoulder as soon as I started it and immediately afterwards there was less pain and an improved range of motion.
Yep for me too
I had a pop too, I keep feeling the pop doing it and I don’t know what it is. Hopefully it isn’t serious. Whenever I even move my arm laterally I feel it whenever my arm is horizontal. This same popping sound occurs on the chair exercise aswell. No pain during the pop though, any suggestions would be appreciated
These two guys are saving people thousands of dollars. Thank you for doing this :)
The chair one was a miracle 😭🥺💜 thank you so much! Within a day the horrendous pain went from like a 10 to a 5!!!
The chair exercise gave me immediate relief for a minute- which I desperately needed! Thanks!
Just want send over a huge thank you! I woke up this morning not able to lift my arm because of impingement. Now I am able to move it and I am now pain free for work. Thanks so much!
73 yr old female here, forced to use a walker for 3 yrs waiting with 2x bone on bone arthitis and getting 2x TKR. After 3 yrs on the walker, the pain and impingement in bother arms began a couple of months after the 2nd TKR. Went to PT and now I am getting an MRI to see what is up. So much pain for the last 2 months, especially at night. Regular OTC Tylenol and Advil barely help. Checking this site for more exercises to help get by until I can get this treated well.
I really love their chemistry, it’s so natural and genuine
You guys are great. Wish i could have seen you with my current shoulder problem. Saw i orthropedic, but worried he diagnosed me incorrectly. He said rotator cuff tendenitus & bursitis. I think it is shoulder impingement. I cant move my right arm behind my back. Pain is not constant. Only with repetitive motion like brushing teeth, showing, even laying down. It hurts like hell, terrible pain, even feel a,little behind neck. Im hoping these exercises help.
You guys are geniuses. I was experiencing this pain for several days and did the recommended exercises. I literally got immediate relief. Thank you so much!!!!
Just tried the chair exercise. Did 5 reps and got some instant relief. Thanks.
I had a case of shoulder impingement along with a minor bicep strain around October last year. it really sucked I relied on the advice of some of your old videos during my recovery process. I'm happy to say that both have healed after 4 months of doing your exercises almost every day. I've been back at gym for about 2-3 months and I'm almost back to where I was ito of strength before the injuries. I want to thank you guys for the great work you are both doing. it's Mich appreciated. all the way from South Africa.
That's good to hear. Unfortunately i'm in the same position now as you were and it sucks. I can't bench press with a barbell anymore and i can't hit my side delts as lateral raises are to painful. Did you still train with this injury or did you wait until it had healed? 4 months out the gym for me will be total torture, i miss a couple days and i'm tearing my hair out
The chair exercise is AMAZING!! Thank you!!!
I got some great advice from these guys on another video around golfer's elbow - I've been struggling with shoulder pain that had caused me to back off lifting, on another video from Bob and Brad I could concur it was shoulder impingement (which is what I thought but I wasn't sure) and even just a day of doing these excersizes I can already feel the benefit. Amazing. Thanks guys ... I know they are a bit goofy but this information is golden. I really appreciate the effort to do these videos and put this information out there. I suppose it's time I finally try to address my terrible posture properly!!
love you guys. thank you for being so generous to freely help those in pain.
I've never knew what shoulder impingement was until I saw this video and its definitely something I've been dealing with since I was a teenager. I'm now 43 and just trying to correct it and I know it may not be possible at my age but I will continue to try these exercises. Good vid.
Wish I had found this video sooner. Any luck?
@@miguelriverajr8263 still doing the exercises but I know it won't change overnight but like you I wish I found the vid sooner as well.
@@Rodnyet you doing ok now man?
@@erim6035 doing ok, still doing these exercises to help with my pain issues and they have been helpful. Thanks for asking.
@@Rodnyet how about now?
You guys are AMAZING. I used some of the techniques from this video and some from one of your other videos and within TWO days my pain was almost completely gone. Thank you!
This is among one of the greatest TH-cam channels ever
2 are better than 1. I love how you are doing this together.
Wow, suffering for 6 weeks now - didn't know what was wrong. Family member who've had rotator cuff surgeries were just CERTAIN that's what I had going on. I took the self-assessment and pinpointed "impingement" as the most likely issue, and after only 6 days of the stretches and exercises, I'm about 95% back to normal!! THANK YOU!!!!
Hell yes! Another one says it works!
you realize that impingement is literally your rotator cuff being damaged...
@@emerson_sux no, should I seek additional medical help?
@@heliscat nah you would know if you need it. it sounds like you strengthened it
I had been dealing with pain for a whole week on both shoulders. I woke up almost crying because of it! I tried these today and when doing the door exercise , I heard a loud crack and got instant relief.
Thank you so so much!😊
thanks guys I was having troubles with my right dominate shoulder I will try these and come back to keep you updated. thank you very much
I got good relief. I need to keep doing these. Thank you very much.
This is gonna be a long comment, whoever wants to read the details can go ahead, and i'm gonna leave a TLDR here for those who dont feel like it
TLDR: Had tendonitis,extreme pain, took Doctor's advice, layed off the gym for 2 years, but pain returned as soon as i returned to the gym. Found these videos, did the movement shown at 3:43 as well as some dead hangs shown in other video, and tendonitis VANISHED.
Hey guys I just came back here to say that you saved me a whole lot of trouble, pain , expenses and general suffering. This video and the other one with the dead hangs literally saved my shoulders. One week in of simply doing these two things and the pain was 90% gone. So was impingement, and exercises that used to cause pain at the gym are now pain free and with no post-workout inflammation and pain. In general my tendonitis has almost vaporized. 3 weeks in right now I keep getting better and as soon as I address the issue that causes this, which is probably my shoulder rotation, I'm sure my tendonitis will be gone for good.
I've had this issue for a total of 3 years. When it first started I went to the doc, he told me usual crap, stay off it, take these NSAIDS, ice it, relax on the gym, stop working it so much, blah blah. All useless bullshit and that was confirmed when I took the next two 2 years after that incident completely off from the gym (not because of the tendonitis but because of life). At least I hoped now that i layed off for so long my shoulder issues will be gone. But NOPE. 1 week back in the gym I was already crippled by pain. That's when I looked on the **GOD BLESSED PRODUCT OF CAPITALISM CALLED THE INTERNET** and found your videos. As I already said, 1 week later my issue was 90% gone. No drugs, no laying off from the gym ,nothing. I kept going hard at the gym and just did these 2 exercises. poof. pain gone, simple as that.
So thank you again for putting these out there. This would have fucked me up if it wasn't for you people. i'm deeply grateful.
moikanos11
I just discovered these videos as I , too, was told ‘rest, stretch, ice, anti inflammatory drugs, and no gym’ for 6 months now with no improvement. Just now the chair exercise has relieved some of my pain. Will comment again in a week with an update.
Im sort of in your shoes right now, can confirm the chair one brought relief. Lets see in a week!
David Day How’s everything going with your shoulder today?
I hope this helps me. Even i layed of gym for 2 years. 4 weeks into the gym the pain started again. Let's see how this goes. Finding a ray of hope
dude you gave so much hope, thank you
I've had problems with my left shoulder for 2 years now with lots of pain and loss of range of motion. Saw your video on Monday, did your exercises and the range of motion is near normal again. THAT'S JUST 3 DAYS!!! Still a bit sore but I'm confident that will subside now. Can't thank you enough!
Standing dumbbell kick back rows with thumbs down is amazing. Y raises, or any full range of motion raise and standing reverse fly with dumbells in front of chest. These will fix any shoulder pain.
@@nickolistef1778 Thanks for the suggestion I've looked at some videos of how to do them. I'll definately give them a go.
In my school, I didn't understand what shoulder impingement was. Brad and Bob explained well what this condition is all about. In a nutshell, shoulder impingement refers to compression of the rotator cuff tendons due to shoulder movements. It will eventually lead to shoulder pain.
How did you get better?
This is perfect for many musicians. Shoulder impingement is a huge problem. Thank you. I'm so glad I found your channel. It is the most helpful information I have been able to find. It is wonderful that you guys provide this information. Thank you.
Hi Bob & Brad, I just wanted to add a THANK YOU comment to let you know I used these exercises and they FIXED my shoulder impingement! It is goooonnnne... what a relief! :)
Thanks. My shoulder pain is affecting my life. It is in the left shoulder and the pain is very acute and then subsides over 30 seconds to a minute. I was referred to a PT about the time COVID-19 restrictions began and I didn't like the way the PT office sanitized so I stopped going. I ordered new bands and your video refreshed my memory. I'm going to do this again and see if I can help myself.
I had impingement in both shoulders. I thought I was going to have to take time off of work to heal. These exercises gave me immediate relief. Now, I'm brachiating as well. Thank you both for educating me. It has changed my life.
Two times I have watched your videos and both times i was able to relieve the impingement. Thank you so much.
I had been struggling with a shoulder impingement I picked up while rock climbing for about two weeks. I tried the second exercise and felt a pop, and just like that, pain gone!! Thanks guys!
Broooooooo, happened the same to me... felt the pop and feel good as new!
wish i had that, f find it agony at the end of the movement
By the second exercise, you mean the pushing down and walking back?
Nice Exercises. Valuable Simple. Great Job. Thanks Sir
I had this condition for almost 6 months now due to awkward sleeping. I can't do pushups or lift my right shoulder highee. I always feel a sharp pain. Thanks for this video now the pain is lesser. I heard a popping noise on my right shoulder while doing the first exercise. Will do it everyday and hopefully I can recover finally.
Hey how you doing now. I am facing this issue almost 1 month. Not able to do my workouts.
@@Srinadh58 Hi, these exercises helped me ease the pain and gain strength. I also tried mobility exercises and lifting lighter weights to help.
And now?
@@moesadk4002 try searching for "rotatorcuff exercises". Best is to use a cable machine at the gym. I have been doing them for a while now.
Thank you so much Bob and Brad. I have strong sharp pain since a month. I did this exercise yesterday my 70% pain gone. Again thank you so much ❤❤❤
I have been so worried about a rotator tear. I watched your diagnosis video, and found out none of the tear "trigger" exercises made me hurt except #7. I did these stretches and feel great. Thank you!
WOW! I have had shoulder impingement so bad, the pain made me nauseous and on the verge of passing out. I just did the "pushing down on the chair" technique and on the 3rd rep, heard and felt my shoulder joint pop. No pain at all, and the pain relief was incredible. Thank you guys. Count me in as a new subscriber!
Thank you so much, Bob and Brad. These exercises along with hanging from a pullup bar (which you showed in a different video) helped my shoulder impingement and pain almost immediately! Really awesome. Very grateful!
You are very welcome Nick!
OMG, this worked straight away for me. Thanks guys... Really making a difference to peoples lives..
Those resistance band exercises are a blessing oh my goodness! Thank you both so much. Also, never knew posture could affect your shoulders! This channel is a life saver ❤️
I am facing same problem .....inpringement syndrome Left shoulder.
Right shoulder impingement
These guys have helped me heal faster multiple times from various injuries
Thanks guys, this, with some posture changes, has virtually eliminated by shoulder pain I was experiencing with most pushing movements. It was the chair and hands over the head exercise, although I looped elastic bands and used them for the same motion. Im not sure what was wrong exactly but after a few weeks of exercising this way my pain is mostly cured. Thank god I didnt let an orthopedist start digging into me!
Thanks. Extremely helpful insights and techniques. I suffered a shoulder injury two days ago. Happy to have found this information so quickly. 1
God bless u both....chair exercise gave instant relief
Me too
do you hear like a crack when you do it? It happens to me
@@MRZEDDA yup
tnk u so much.whenever i have problem in my muscle i always check ur page...and it really works 👍
hi Bob and Brad, I was up in the middle of the night tonight with impingement / frozen shoulder pain, found your vids and did the main exercises/stretches a few sets and I already feel so much relief! I seriously cant thank you enough because I was feeling pretty discouraged. I had forgotten about the fact that my postural internally rotated shoulder definitely aggravates this condition. Thanks again for the reminder, for the awesome videos and for making me laugh too!😊
Thanks! You guys really helped me figure out my shoulder problem and even start to fix it. God bless you gentlemen
Glad to hear that, thank you for your support! Take care!!
After having impinged shoulder aka bursitis of the shoulder for over 2 month i started brachiating . Hanging from a bar for 10 minutes a day and after 2 weeks the pain went away completely. I now include it as part of my workout routine. I hope this helps someone out there suffering from shoulder pain.
I'm inspired by your response. Can you tell me 2 things: 1) was the pain diagnosed by some sort of pro as "impingement" or bursitis or were you guessing? and 2) When you say hang, do you mean dead hang with no muscle tension other than your grip strength? or did you keep your arms and torso flexed. Thank you Os Cj!
bursitis is NOT the same as impingment lol
I found this very helpful & healthful. The pain in my shoulder affected my sleep at night. I had discomfort during the day & pain at night. Copying your exercises, the discomfort and pain has completely gone away. Thank you so much.
omg. you guys are too funny. and extremely helpful! i just did the "outies" and it totally fixed my shoulder pain!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot believe how amazing i feel now. i've been in pain for so long and couldn't lift groceries out of my car. so thankful for some relief. many thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this video. I was in terrible pain (8) and after doing the first to exercises it started to subside. And now after continuing several times a day - 2 days later I have almost complete mobility back and the pain is practically gone. This was an answer to prayer.
Y'all have helped me so much, kinda transformed my life! I'm in my 60s, and have had steadily increasing joint and muscle pain for decades--until I discovered your channel! My posture is improving, my mobility noticeably better, and pains are diminishing. I've even created a playlist, "Feeling Better), ~90% of which is made up of your videos! You are a true blessing. I also love your opening quotes, those have helped me, too! Thank you.
Rock on!!! Bob and Brad.... I really do like your videos and greatly benefited from it too
Can we get a 10 hour version of that intro song
Helpful, knowledgeable, experienced, funny, wholesome, SUBSCRIBED!
The second exercise is a miracle worker, the pain was gone almost instantly. Y’all are wizards!!
SugoiZoe which one? The one in which he presses the chair
Sourab T yup that one, did wonders didn’t think it would help at all
Thanks so much. Have been having a bit of a problem with my right shoulder lately.
"hey this is a nice shirt Bob."
Yeah, subscribed after this one. Having some shoulder issues and this seems nice, simple advice to start fixing them. Thanks.
WOW!! Thank you guys... I just did the massage on my tendon and it was like a miracle. It relieved my shoulder pain by at least 70%... I can not thank you enough..
