Im a housepainter for 35 years now, for the last 3 months i couldn't paint seelings anymore, thought my career was over.....after doing this every day for a week i can do it again !!! About to cry while im writing this to you🤦♂️🤦♂️ REALLY want to thank you for this !! ❤️❤️❤️
How many days to recovery from that pain and how many day's to get natural strength for this shoulder plz tell I'm also suffering from 3 months it happens to me when I'm lifting weight bag...
@@VijayRaj-gi4pr It's hard to say how long it will take you to recover and improve. You should notice improvements after 2 - 4 weeks of consistent practice of the exercises. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
The three exercises: [6:22] Robot - 5reps 5s holds up and down [8:24] Behind the back external rotation - 3-5 reps 10s holds [10:16] Scapular Push Up - 5 reps 5-10s holds at the top
I've been in 2x weekly PT and seeing an Ortho for an AC joint injury for three months, and in less than two minutes this guy has told me more about what is going on, despite all of my questions at the doctor.... THANK YOU
Exactly why I search out more knowledgeable people . I'm older and even though I've told an Ortho I am very active and in intense sports, he told me "nah, no exercises, just rest". WTF? Once with ski knee injury and once with elbow tendonitis(whitewater kayaking) ...I got online and found what I needed to do for both injuries Thanks Precision Movement, for these shoulder injury exercises and info :-) :-) Yes, I play hard :-) But only these three injuries in 20 years of playing. Elbow and Knee 100% now, and I know my shoulder will be too
That's exactly why I would never do PT... I just don't have much faith in doctors. I got an MRI my shoulder and they're like "Oh everything looks great"... Paid a ton of money for them to tell me nothing. I assume PT would be the same.
I am a coach myself but never have someone explain AC joint better... recently I got this issue and was researching more on this subject... And your robot stretch is a show stopper.... I experienced immediate relief... Thank you so so much .... Love from India 🙏😀
Just wanted to pop back on here and say a huge THANK YOU! I've been doing these 3x/wk for 2 weeks now along with your doorway pec stretch and my shoulder pain is gone! It's amazing!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach is it possible that, pain takes like 8 months?? I think i did tear something with weighted pullups... I have problems, with pullups now..3x i do with almost no pain then something starts too pop inside my shoulder haha Like there is no power in my left shoulder Ussually i did 10 reps with ease, because i am military, now the 5 reps are problem..

Heck yes! Thank you for this! I have a 20 year old shoulder separation that has of course given me problems in my adult life as a hairdresser. This video is exactly what I have been looking for. Small range of motion with big results! Thank you!
For any doubters…I’ve been going to PT for a few years for shoulder pain. No exaggeration, but I felt immediate relief with the robot exercise the first time I tried it. Surprisingly, happily, the pain has substantially subsided as has my need for pain medication. I wish I knew about this years ago…would have saved a lot of time and money!!! Please try at least once..it really works. Thank you so much for this video. To be pain free is an amazing gift!!!

Oh my. This is good. I saw your video diagnosing the difference between AC joint dysfunction vs. impingement and came here from that. In particular the exercise with the stretch bands is exactly what I have been looking for to start re-balancing my shoulders after too many push-ups and dips in recent years. I already feel better. Awesome work, a clear explanation of everything without any distractions.
After several years of doing "investigative" tests by several different docs to try and figure out what's going on with my shoulder, this guy explained more in two short videos than any of those docs could have ever explained. From shots, to die injected x-rays, mri's of several different areas, nerve testing (not fun at all) to rehab. A few minutes watching stretches here makes my shoulder feel so much better.
I had a rounded left shoulder where the head was skirting a bit forward due to my weird sleeping position. I did these 3 exercises for 10 days n i am seeing a massive improvement especially the robot movement exercise , worked like charm. Thank you so much
Thank you for the robot! I crashed my motorbike a week ago and I am in need of some gentle mobilisation exercises. You seem to know the pain we are all in! Cheers for the effort.
I thought I had swimmers shoulders the whole time. I’m not a good swimmer and started open water swimming prepping for Ironman competition. I started feeling shoulder pain and can even reach my son sitting behind me.I have had shoulder pain for months ; I just did your exercises and felt so much better. I hope I can start swimming and doing upper body workouts again. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this video and the one of testing AC Joint dysfunction vs Impingement. I semi-recently fell and "caught" myself with my elbow and since have had minor shoulder pain that's lasted weeks. Based on most of the reading I had done, I was under the impression I was impinged. Based on how I feel after taking the test, leaning towards the AC joint being the problem, and doing a single session of these exercises I feel like this is the right track. Obviously I'll be continuing. I've liked and subbed. Keep up the good work dude, many many thanks for these valuable videos.
Fell on my shoulder with my and my opponents whole body weight 5 months ago during a bjj practice. Went to physio therapy for 3 months, electrotherapy almost 2 months and none of it helped. I couldn't even do a pushup. After 2 weeks of doing these movements my shoulder feels 100% ready. But dont want to push it too hard too soon. Thank you!
Wowwww for over a month now I've been in pain and didn't know what happened thought it's due to old age. But after watching your exercise test video I believe I've been suffering from AC Join Dysfunction!!😭 Thank you so much!! I'm on my first night with your exercise and can't wait to wake up in the morning with no more shoulder pain.👍💕😊
Oddly, I got my AC joint pain from doing sprints one day and then doing pretty serious fascia stretching exercises (both of which I overdid). I never fell or anything like that. Thank you for this video!

Thanks for writing to us and sharing your story. We realy appreciate that. Check out the resources in the video description for more ideas. Especially, the Shoulder Pain Solution program and let us know how it goes :)
After Covid lockdowns, working from home, and food deliveries for 1.5 years I gained 20kg and developed ac joint pains I never had before. Lost 10kg and on my way back but the pain never left. This video is a godsend thank you subscribed
Thank you so much! My PT recently misdiagnosed my shoulder issue. Based on my description of how I injured it and the pain that his exercises were causing, I think he should have easily figured it out. Bad news: today he did something that really aggravated it so it's the worst it's ever been. Good news: that gave me enough info to start figuring out the cause. Thanks to your other video, I was able to rule out impingement and confirm AC Joint dysfunction. You are now my new PT and I am really excited to start the mending/rehab process. I really appreciate you!

thanks so much. After doing these the first time it felt instant relief. I'm not sure of long term relief yet, but i felt immediate relief of all pain.
Been to 2 different physical therapists over 2 years trying to fix my AC joint shoulder pain after a labrum tear surgery after a chest workout. I would get several large knots along my trap that pretty much lived there unless I used my massage gun to beat them out, but a deep pain always remained that my massage gun couldn't reach and no stretch or movement I did seemed to alleviate the pain. That very first workout, as soon as my forearm went down, I felt my scapula instantly flare out big time and knew something wasnt right.. As I trained my muscle mind connection to keep that scapula down as my arms went back and forth, it almost immediately lifted the deep pain I've had for over a year now. I am absolutely thankful for you making this video. Liked and subscribed. I will keep up with doing these exercises and hope a more permanent solution is in my future. 🙏
Thanks Eric super helpful as you described I over did muscle ups and dips last weekend and caused ac joint/ligament damage, these exercises are fantastic. Appreciated!
thanks man! i injured my shoulder 5 years ago and let it heal without seeing a doctor. after 5 years of pain, all signs ate pointing towards some kind of AC injury. This is one of the videos where I can actually feel the blood flow and relief in my arm. Thanks so much!!
@@JFearH_Ehhy the thing that helps me most has been leaning into a doorframe with one arm up towards the top and also upper body workouts. i rarely ever have peoblems anymore. excercising and stretching really works!!
Finally!! I’ve had this problem slowly come up and go away come up and go away for years. Only in this guy‘s videos have I found out it is an AC joint dysfunction. I have been treating it by avoiding what he has been saying through feel. So glad I can find exercises to fix this finally
Glad it helped! We are so happy that you found us and appreciate your trust. Check out the resources in the video description for ideas on how to address the root cause of your issue. Especially, the Shoulder Pain Solution program :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
OMG thank you so much for this clarity and helpful exercises. I’ve had to pay $100 to physical therapists to never understand what was wrong with my shoulder. They just generalized it’s a shoulder impingement. I’ve always explained I felt it in my front shoulder bone too. You honestly gave me to much relief to finally understand what is going on with my shoulder. Thank you so much for you amazing content! 😻
Thank you so much! Sprained my AC-joint 4 months ago and the pain is there all the time.. Looking forward to trying out this routine. How often do you recommend doing it?
Love your channel. It helped me alot with lifting and some injuries just in a week. Can you please make a video about or recommend something for "my left shoulder pulls itself forward when i try to do any workout while sitting or standing, like bicep curls,overhead dumbbell press etc.." My physical therapist couldn't help neither any chiropractor so far and there isn't any video on it on TH-cam either. Thanks i highly appreciate.
These exercises worked like magic from day 1. I will definitely keep doing these for a month or two and move onto other routines and programs. Amazing mobile app as well.
A couple weeks ago finally saw a Physio for AC joint pain. This week was four weeks off BJJ. Your videos are exactly right in terms of where the pain is (the forward-rolled shoulder thing and across the chest, ouch-for me also just pushing my arm down to get something in my pocket would trigger it). I've started the three exercises, plus the three types of pushups from the other video, and especially with the band behind the back and the closer I get to the tenth second I can feel the ligaments burning. It's a good burn. Do you have any other strengthening exercises using bands? Thanks a lot for your help.
The robot immediately gave relief to clicking and pain in the pocket just below the ac joint - not sure what the heck was popping but this loosens and seems to reset everything - thanks
Been out of the gym for 5 weeks now with a “sprained AC” so doc man says - going to jump into these this week and see how it goes. Super bummed when you’re hitting hour fitness peak and hit a wall like this and can’t continue due to injury. This is my third shoulder injury and first shoulder injury due to weight lifting, sadly. I want to be able to get back to where I was as fast as possible so I can grow and get stronger from there. - thanks for the tips coach 🦾
Literally same for me. Third shoulder injury, first subscapularis tendinitis, second shoulder impingement and now AC joint. And all the while this whole Corona lockdown is happening...but when I overcome this I will feel better than ever! Never again will I not properly warm up and neglect my rotator cuff.
i've seen a lot of video about may shoulder pain, but this video is the most clear explanation about my pain.. hope i can get cure from AC Joint Dysfunction.. thank u very much for the video
I can't seem to do that first exercise(robot) at all, both my scapulae immediately come off the rib cage and rotate forward and down.... I've been dealing with scapular dyskinesis on my right side for almost a year, have a bump at my ac joint which looks like the acromion is tilted up a bit, but the doctor says there's no torn ligament at all, but I feel like I had a mild separation that they missed... I've been suffering for months and months with pain in my rotator cuff muscles and extremely poor range of motion and can't do anything in the gym because of it.... did physical therapy for 6 months and haven't gotten better, and continue to do exercises to work on my serratus, rotator cuff, and stabilizer back muscles..... I'm scheduled to get an EMG with a neurologist... So upsetting and depressing that I can't do anything in the gym... I'm 40 and skinny fat and can't lift,...I ignored my fitness for most of my adult life and now that I want to do something about it, I can't
I had similar pain and symptoms you have. I fell down the steps and had this pain for six months. Finally went to a chiropractor and was told my collar bone was out of place. He adjusted it and my pain immediately went from a 6 to a 2. Now that everything is in place I can slowly train it and begin to heal. Hope this helps.
I can relate to you. I have been addicted to drugs for many years and finally weightlifting got me off of drugs and helped stay clean, actually it's the only thing that im interested in and is driving through my life without falling down to that shitty path again, but now that i have been year clean and been lifting about 10 months I have fucked up shoulder, can't do anything in the gym except legs i have been able to train... well for a while at least because now i'm starting to have hip impingement as well. Now im panicing that i have to stop lifting all together, the only thing that have helped me get my life back on track is being ripped away from me. Depressing and frustrating as fuck... Well no use to dwell on self pity, but to take this as a challenge and rehab my shoulder. I'm not giving up. I'm going to get back to lifting no matter what it takes.
After a low weight bench press AC joint injury, I never thought the modified push up (locked arms) would be so effective in getting me back to normal. Shoulder rehab has been a major learning experience
My shoulder is pain free for the first time in years after doing these exercises - in one session. The physio said it was shoulder impingement and I gave up with them but your other video ruled that out and showed it was the AC joint. Thanks!
Thanks for the awesome, detailed video Eric! Quick question for you... I injured my AC joint 3.5 weeks ago. Been doing simple stretches for about 2.5 weeks. I did these exercises yesterday and the muscle is aggravated. It's not painful as if I re-injured it, it's more of an aching feeling like after a workout. Should I continue doing these exercises or should I give some time between them to let the muscle acclimate? Thank you!
Definitely let pain guide your efforts. How about you take a day in between sessions? Have you checked out this article? www.precisionmovement.coach/sprained-ac-joint/
I injured mine about 4 weeks ago. Pretty mild, just strained the ligament, but push-ups are still out of the question for me. How did your recovery go? Are you fully healed now? Can you lift weights?
@@alexhooker447 I can, but it's a little difficult. I didn't take great care of it during Christmas and New year's unfortunately, so it's still not fully healed. I did some lifting yesterday of things around the house, maybe 30-40 pounds head level, but it got aggravated. I probably over killed it because I haven't built up the muscle, just stretches. Up until yesterday, I've been going through phases of having to relax it for a few days after doing some good stretches. I'm not going hard, but I hope I'm doing it right. It's definitely better than it was two to three weeks ago.
@@Majicalpepper I'm glad to hear it's improving. I need mine to heal up quickly, because I have plans to join the military come June. Is your injury grade 1, and how did you injure it?
@@alexhooker447 not sure what grade actually, the doc didn't say. He didn't seem very concerned so it's probably grade one. I was able to lift 10-15 pounds with pain before I knew what was wrong. I injured it wrestling with an in-law. How about you?
Dont normally comment. But after many different exercises, this one finally relieved my shoulder pain for the past 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing. You know your stuff.
Eric thank you so much for your generosity and doing this. It is excellent. What I like about you video is.... it is clear you are smart and truly know what your talking about but you don't flaunt or show that of... you just explain what needs to be explained and get to the heart of what needs to be done. Thank you for your knowledge, humility and generosity.
I actually completely torn my 3 ligaments in that joint and decided to go for the surgery. It was a complete success and now I got a piece of string holding my bones in the right place. Its been 3 months and I can function normally with no pain but still cant do explosive movements and overhead pulling & pressing. Thank you for this video, I still need a lot of rehab but hopefully it will be 100% by the end of summer
Thank you for this video. I had been "treated" by PTs who saw me in person and treated me for impingement. Their recommended exercises actually inflamed my shoulder and I just thought I would have to live with the pain or get surgery. Your robot exercise provided almost immediate relief and just a few days into your recommended treatment steps I only have minor pain.
I sprained mine in the exact same way from muscle-ups. Once I unlocked them I got obsessed and did them way too often at the expense of other movements. I had a suspicion that that's what was going on, but you confirmed it. Thank you!
Thank God i found your vid, been worried about what i'm feeling with my shoulder that radiates up to the back of my ear, just doing your 'robot exerciae' alleviates the pain almost immediately...ty so much sir 😊...God bless you.

Years ago I took a spill on a skateboard. I never knew what damage was done specifically to my shoulder but the pain subsided and I was able to move and function normally until recently when the pain arose again. I realize now the problem and this is by far the most comprehensive and helpful video for recovery exercise instruction. Thank you for sharing. By the way I still love to skate and I look forward to "movement longevity".
These exercises have been amazing for me to help reprogram after a full-body traumatic auto injury. Seems as if the scapula and the AC joint were the last stubborn holdouts to a full recovery. Thank you so very much for making your work accessible via youtube. I see others have made positive comments who are not identified sports enthusiasts. I too fit in that position as a dancer. I'm definitely strong and athletic but not in the sports direction.
I having even tried these yet and I know it's the solution. My right Ac joint has been tender for so long I forgot it was still tender till I touched it earlier and decided to youtube wtf is wrong. I thought I had a impingement and already bought bands to help it but I diagnosed wrong clearly. Thanks so much for this knowledge. My bench has been trash for so long cause of this.
I watched your other video about making the difference between impingement and AC joint dysfunction, and I think I was misdiagnosed with impingement. It's clear to me that what I have, after going through your tests, is AC joint dysfunction. I'm going to run those exercises for a couple of weeks, but I can tell already that you are making much more sense than most people online.
Dealt with AC joint pain for 3 years in my right shoulder. Started getting pain in my left shoulder a couple weeks ago. Gonna get a distal clavicle excision on the left side, like I had done on my right, as soon as the doc will allow.
Thank you so much for this video. I hurt my shoulder playing basketball and you've provided some very helpful and likely cost saving information. Kudos to you and this type of raw content
Luckily I don’t have this problem, but listening impressed by your knowledge, experience and skills to explain everything so clearly and easy to comprehend, thank you very much ! This is the best PT channel on TH-cam, keep up good work and I will keep watching your videos and give you
Thank you soooooo MUCH! that one banded exercise behind the body helped as soon as I finished it. I was in Total Shock & Relief, my shoulder felt a lot better!

After Covid lockdowns, working from home, and food deliveries for 1.5 years I gained 20kg and developed ac joint pains I never had before. Lost 10kg and on my way back but the pain never left. This video is a godsend thank you subscribed
Happy to help and thanks for your support!
Wow! That robot exercise is the only one ive tried so far and my god the pain is like 70% gone!
Keep it up!
Thank you so much! My PT recently misdiagnosed my shoulder issue. Based on my description of how I injured it and the pain that his exercises were causing, I think he should have easily figured it out. Bad news: today he did something that really aggravated it so it's the worst it's ever been. Good news: that gave me enough info to start figuring out the cause. Thanks to your other video, I was able to rule out impingement and confirm AC Joint dysfunction. You are now my new PT and I am really excited to start the mending/rehab process. I really appreciate you!

thanks so much. After doing these the first time it felt instant relief. I'm not sure of long term relief yet, but i felt immediate relief of all pain.
That's great to read!
How are you now?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Been to 2 different physical therapists over 2 years trying to fix my AC joint shoulder pain after a labrum tear surgery after a chest workout. I would get several large knots along my trap that pretty much lived there unless I used my massage gun to beat them out, but a deep pain always remained that my massage gun couldn't reach and no stretch or movement I did seemed to alleviate the pain. That very first workout, as soon as my forearm went down, I felt my scapula instantly flare out big time and knew something wasnt right.. As I trained my muscle mind connection to keep that scapula down as my arms went back and forth, it almost immediately lifted the deep pain I've had for over a year now. I am absolutely thankful for you making this video. Liked and subscribed.
I will keep up with doing these exercises and hope a more permanent solution is in my future. 🙏
Hey Chris so pumped to hear you got some great results with this! Keep it up man! - Coach E
Thanks Eric super helpful as you described I over did muscle ups and dips last weekend and caused ac joint/ligament damage, these exercises are fantastic. Appreciated!
It's the price we pay to play :-)
If you do Crossfit you are begging for joint pains.
thanks man! i injured my shoulder 5 years ago and let it heal without seeing a doctor. after 5 years of pain, all signs ate pointing towards some kind of AC injury. This is one of the videos where I can actually feel the blood flow and relief in my arm. Thanks so much!!
is yours healed now, which exercise helped the most?
@@JFearH_Ehhy the thing that helps me most has been leaning into a doorframe with one arm up towards the top and also upper body workouts. i rarely ever have peoblems anymore. excercising and stretching really works!!
Thank you! This exercises immediately targeted the pain! keep up the great work!
Great :)
Thanks!
You are so welcome! Thanks for the support :)
Ac joint sprain is a really annoying one thank you sir
How are you now?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Finally!! I’ve had this problem slowly come up and go away come up and go away for years. Only in this guy‘s videos have I found out it is an AC joint dysfunction. I have been treating it by avoiding what he has been saying through feel. So glad I can find exercises to fix this finally
Glad it helped!

Best video about AC I found, thank you! Instant sub, seems like a great channel that really teaches how to do these exercises correctly :)
Glad to hear that! Thank you for your support :)
OMG thank you so much for this clarity and helpful exercises. I’ve had to pay $100 to physical therapists to never understand what was wrong with my shoulder. They just generalized it’s a shoulder impingement. I’ve always explained I felt it in my front shoulder bone too. You honestly gave me to much relief to finally understand what is going on with my shoulder. Thank you so much for you amazing content! 😻
You are welcome and thanks for following along!
Thank you so much! Sprained my AC-joint 4 months ago and the pain is there all the time.. Looking forward to trying out this routine.
How often do you recommend doing it?
You got this! Try it daily.
the AC joint exercise with the band behind your back is godly!! thank you
You're welcome!!
Love your channel. It helped me alot with lifting and some injuries just in a week.
Can you please make a video about or recommend something for "my left shoulder pulls itself forward when i try to do any workout while sitting or standing, like bicep curls,overhead dumbbell press etc.." My physical therapist couldn't help neither any chiropractor so far and there isn't any video on it on TH-cam either. Thanks i highly appreciate.
It sounds like these videos can help:

These exercises worked like magic from day 1. I will definitely keep doing these for a month or two and move onto other routines and programs. Amazing mobile app as well.
Wonderful!
Thanks for letting us know and keep us posted on your progress :)

A couple weeks ago finally saw a Physio for AC joint pain. This week was four weeks off BJJ. Your videos are exactly right in terms of where the pain is (the forward-rolled shoulder thing and across the chest, ouch-for me also just pushing my arm down to get something in my pocket would trigger it). I've started the three exercises, plus the three types of pushups from the other video, and especially with the band behind the back and the closer I get to the tenth second I can feel the ligaments burning. It's a good burn. Do you have any other strengthening exercises using bands? Thanks a lot for your help.
Brilliant coaching for first step recovery after separating my shoulder. Felt like I was in great hands. Thanks for your work.
You're very welcome!
My goodness! I have had AC joint issue for a while now(over a year now). I did the robot and external rotation for a bit and the pain is gone!
How is it now? Does it work as a long term fix?
The robot immediately gave relief to clicking and pain in the pocket just below the ac joint - not sure what the heck was popping but this loosens and seems to reset everything - thanks
That's awesome to read. You are welcome.
thanks eric
You're welcome!
Thankyou so, so much!!
I had instant relief after almost 5 months of shoulder pain after trying these exercises! 👏
Awesome❗️
Been out of the gym for 5 weeks now with a “sprained AC” so doc man says - going to jump into these this week and see how it goes.
Super bummed when you’re hitting hour fitness peak and hit a wall like this and can’t continue due to injury. This is my third shoulder injury and first shoulder injury due to weight lifting, sadly.
I want to be able to get back to where I was as fast as possible so I can grow and get stronger from there. - thanks for the tips coach 🦾
I hear ya my friend - nothing blunts your progress like an injury! But you learn a lot and overcoming this will make you stronger in the end.
Literally same for me. Third shoulder injury, first subscapularis tendinitis, second shoulder impingement and now AC joint.
And all the while this whole Corona lockdown is happening...but when I overcome this I will feel better than ever!
Never again will I not properly warm up and neglect my rotator cuff.
Straight to the point no bs talk like so many other videos. BIG thumbs up
I really appreciate that!
You are just awesome man!...
Wow, thanks!
i've seen a lot of video about may shoulder pain, but this video is the most clear explanation about my pain.. hope i can get cure from AC Joint Dysfunction.. thank u very much for the video
You are welcome and hope that it helps!
I can't seem to do that first exercise(robot) at all, both my scapulae immediately come off the rib cage and rotate forward and down.... I've been dealing with scapular dyskinesis on my right side for almost a year, have a bump at my ac joint which looks like the acromion is tilted up a bit, but the doctor says there's no torn ligament at all, but I feel like I had a mild separation that they missed... I've been suffering for months and months with pain in my rotator cuff muscles and extremely poor range of motion and can't do anything in the gym because of it.... did physical therapy for 6 months and haven't gotten better, and continue to do exercises to work on my serratus, rotator cuff, and stabilizer back muscles..... I'm scheduled to get an EMG with a neurologist... So upsetting and depressing that I can't do anything in the gym... I'm 40 and skinny fat and can't lift,...I ignored my fitness for most of my adult life and now that I want to do something about it, I can't
I think that you could really benefit from this course: www.precisionmovement.coach/shoulder-flexibility-solution
I had similar pain and symptoms you have. I fell down the steps and had this pain for six months. Finally went to a chiropractor and was told my collar bone was out of place. He adjusted it and my pain immediately went from a 6 to a 2. Now that everything is in place I can slowly train it and begin to heal. Hope this helps.
I can relate to you. I have been addicted to drugs for many years and finally weightlifting got me off of drugs and helped stay clean, actually it's the only thing that im interested in and is driving through my life without falling down to that shitty path again, but now that i have been year clean and been lifting about 10 months I have fucked up shoulder, can't do anything in the gym except legs i have been able to train... well for a while at least because now i'm starting to have hip impingement as well. Now im panicing that i have to stop lifting all together, the only thing that have helped me get my life back on track is being ripped away from me. Depressing and frustrating as fuck... Well no use to dwell on self pity, but to take this as a challenge and rehab my shoulder. I'm not giving up. I'm going to get back to lifting no matter what it takes.
Try graston technique it worked for my shoulder problems I had shoulder impingement for over a year
Eric really helped me solve my AC joint pain with this video, extremely appreciated. Make sure to follow this guy if you have AC joint problems!
Thanks and great work!
You are giftet. Thank you for helping me.
Is it ok to do the first exercise lying down on your back?
You are so welcome!
i love coach e and Dr B . Best thing ive seen on you tube. Quite knowledgeable and detailed in their explanation
Wow, thank you!
I have this pain for many days ago it’s hurting my back and my whole hands that i can’t write and my neck🙁
I'm sorry to read that. Did you try out the material in the video?
After a low weight bench press AC joint injury, I never thought the modified push up (locked arms) would be so effective in getting me back to normal. Shoulder rehab has been a major learning experience
Thanks for sharing that! It's awesome to read how we have helped you out :)
Keep up the great work!
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank You!
:)
My shoulder is pain free for the first time in years after doing these exercises - in one session. The physio said it was shoulder impingement and I gave up with them but your other video ruled that out and showed it was the AC joint. Thanks!
Wonderful!
Thanks for the awesome, detailed video Eric! Quick question for you... I injured my AC joint 3.5 weeks ago. Been doing simple stretches for about 2.5 weeks. I did these exercises yesterday and the muscle is aggravated. It's not painful as if I re-injured it, it's more of an aching feeling like after a workout. Should I continue doing these exercises or should I give some time between them to let the muscle acclimate? Thank you!
Definitely let pain guide your efforts. How about you take a day in between sessions? Have you checked out this article? www.precisionmovement.coach/sprained-ac-joint/
I injured mine about 4 weeks ago. Pretty mild, just strained the ligament, but push-ups are still out of the question for me. How did your recovery go? Are you fully healed now? Can you lift weights?
@@alexhooker447 I can, but it's a little difficult. I didn't take great care of it during Christmas and New year's unfortunately, so it's still not fully healed. I did some lifting yesterday of things around the house, maybe 30-40 pounds head level, but it got aggravated. I probably over killed it because I haven't built up the muscle, just stretches. Up until yesterday, I've been going through phases of having to relax it for a few days after doing some good stretches. I'm not going hard, but I hope I'm doing it right. It's definitely better than it was two to three weeks ago.
@@Majicalpepper I'm glad to hear it's improving. I need mine to heal up quickly, because I have plans to join the military come June. Is your injury grade 1, and how did you injure it?
@@alexhooker447 not sure what grade actually, the doc didn't say. He didn't seem very concerned so it's probably grade one. I was able to lift 10-15 pounds with pain before I knew what was wrong. I injured it wrestling with an in-law. How about you?
Dont normally comment. But after many different exercises, this one finally relieved my shoulder pain for the past 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing. You know your stuff.
That is awesome. I'm so glad that you found this video and tried it out. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for the video, I wasn’t following the first piece of advice and my ac joint feels like it’s got a metal spear stabbed through it
How are you now?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach I'm great. My shoulders have never felt better.
Thank you very much. I realized I have this AC joint pain few days ago. I am doing these 3 exercises now.
Awesome!
bustin out the robot at a party, you know how it goes. lmfao
#goals
Eric thank you so much for your generosity and doing this. It is excellent.
What I like about you video is.... it is clear you are smart and truly know what your talking about but you don't flaunt or show that of... you just explain what needs to be explained and get to the heart of what needs to be done.
Thank you for your knowledge, humility and generosity.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for these free but very helpful videos. You deserve the best. God bless you.
So nice of you :)
Thank you for the rehab tutorial. The band exercise gave me relief.
Nice!
So glad I found your videos today. These exercises gave me some relief already!!!
Fantastic!
I actually completely torn my 3 ligaments in that joint and decided to go for the surgery. It was a complete success and now I got a piece of string holding my bones in the right place. Its been 3 months and I can function normally with no pain but still cant do explosive movements and overhead pulling & pressing. Thank you for this video, I still need a lot of rehab but hopefully it will be 100% by the end of summer
Keep us posted on your progress :)
Thank you for this video. I had been "treated" by PTs who saw me in person and treated me for impingement. Their recommended exercises actually inflamed my shoulder and I just thought I would have to live with the pain or get surgery. Your robot exercise provided almost immediate relief and just a few days into your recommended treatment steps I only have minor pain.
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know about your progress :) - Team PM
Thank you. Been looking for a video like this for 6 years. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad that you finally found it.
Thank you Eric, it is great to watch this and since day 1 I start to feel lighter on my shoulder. Thanx a million
You're very welcome! - Team PM
Genius. My pain is so much better now and getting better. Thank you
Nice!
I sprained mine in the exact same way from muscle-ups. Once I unlocked them I got obsessed and did them way too often at the expense of other movements. I had a suspicion that that's what was going on, but you confirmed it. Thank you!
You are welcome and good luck with your recovery.
Thanks Precision Movement for the tips of the kind of exercise for ac joint dysfunction! Very helpful!

Years ago I took a spill on a skateboard. I never knew what damage was done specifically to my shoulder but the pain subsided and I was able to move and function normally until recently when the pain arose again. I realize now the problem and this is by far the most comprehensive and helpful video for recovery exercise instruction. Thank you for sharing. By the way I still love to skate and I look forward to "movement longevity".
Happy that you found us!
These exercises have been amazing for me to help reprogram after a full-body traumatic auto injury. Seems as if the scapula and the AC joint were the last stubborn holdouts to a full recovery.
Thank you so very much for making your work accessible via youtube. I see others have made positive comments who are not identified sports enthusiasts. I too fit in that position as a dancer. I'm definitely strong and athletic but not in the sports direction.
So glad that it helped and thanks for following along :)
I having even tried these yet and I know it's the solution. My right Ac joint has been tender for so long I forgot it was still tender till I touched it earlier and decided to youtube wtf is wrong. I thought I had a impingement and already bought bands to help it but I diagnosed wrong clearly. Thanks so much for this knowledge. My bench has been trash for so long cause of this.
Glad that you found it and hope that it helps!
I watched your other video about making the difference between impingement and AC joint dysfunction, and I think I was misdiagnosed with impingement. It's clear to me that what I have, after going through your tests, is AC joint dysfunction. I'm going to run those exercises for a couple of weeks, but I can tell already that you are making much more sense than most people online.
Awesome!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Of course I should stay away from movements that create discomfort such as chest presses, right?
@@PhilippeOrlando right.
Dealt with AC joint pain for 3 years in my right shoulder. Started getting pain in my left shoulder a couple weeks ago. Gonna get a distal clavicle excision on the left side, like I had done on my right, as soon as the doc will allow.
Hopefully these exercises help as well. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
the 2nd exercise gave me relief. Thanks Eric. Life saver
Happy to help!
