I’ve watched a lot of videos about these topics but you’ve probably given the clearest explanation, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, now I can address my problems with the explanation you have given us thank you so much dr. You had no idea what I've been going through
Same here
Agreed - very credible and clear.
Thanks for breaking it down in an easy way to understand.
I LOVE that you didn’t add any music to the background! I feel I get so much more knowledge from your video than from other videos where they add distracting music!
Your video is so informative and comprehensive for the layman!!!
Thank you ‼️ thank you ‼️
Excellent content!! I feel that everyone who watched this video now has an educated idea of what is wrong and the next step to take
Best explanation for self diagnosis of shoulder pain I’ve found. By far. Great Job!!!! Thank you
You are a true healer. Thanks!
You explained this very well, thankyou for taking time to make this video. ❤
This helped a ton. Eased my nervousness about thinking I had a tear. Starting rehab at home today!
Thank you! This is a far better explanation than the physiotherapist has given me!!
Great video content and explanation ! You are a great teacher as well!
Omg you saved my life! I loved the detailed and clear explanations. Subscribed!
Thank you for explaining in detail about this issue. I’ve seen advertisements on these topics but never thought about it until it affected me. This is very helpful. Will be watching your other videos in hope that I hear naturally. Blessings to you for making a difference in the lives of so many people.
Thank you for explaining this so clearly in layman's terms. I'm now pretty confident I have an impingement rather than a tear and will follow your instructions on treatment. Subscribed with thanks 🙏
After 15+ years of shoulder pain, several doctors, offers for surgery,I now understand better what it is that hurts and why. You're the best! Thank you for caring ❤
Great transmission of knowledge from an experienced doctor to a common man in the simplest terms. You made the issue very simple to differentiate and identify, identify the problem to the core. Also pointing out the chances of recovery at different levels of the progress of the disease. Yet to see your videos of the excercises. Thank you doc.
Thanks you cleared up some questions I had about my shoulder problems.
Excellent and simple explanation, clearest explanation I've got for this case, many thanks
Absolutely wonderful video. I've been looking for something for 3 days to that describes what my pain. Thank you so much for breaking it down and describing where and what type of pain for each issue.
Thanks for “ dumbing “ it down.. very insightful much appreciated
Thank you so much! I am a swimmer. After watching your tutorial, I will take it easier on the swims. YOU are of great help to the community. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Studying for exam. Makes way more sense. Thank you!
Thank you for a clear explanation of shoulder pain!!
I agree I’ve been to doctors sports doctors and finally surgeon and you have explained better than anyone. Fantastic 😊
That was a fantastic presentation. Thank you!
Excellent explanation, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏽
Thank you for the wonderful explanation!
Thank you so much! Very helpful, excellent explanation!
Finally I got the right answer, for what I'm looking for. Thank you so much.
I've been working on a keyboard for my entire 30+ year career. Back and shoulder pain have been a way of life. Recently, I picked up violin playing and this is when the pain has become really problematic, in my bow arm. I discovered your videos connected to a music site i was following and I just want to thank your for the clear explanations! Hopefully on time to deal with this before it gets severe enough to stop me from playing my violin!
Good stuff, zero filler, well done!
Thanks for explaining the spectrum of the shoulder…
Thank you so much for the clarity!!
Best explanation I've heard.
You are really simplifying my rotator cuff pains for almost 5 years and that’s because of volleyball; and I wish it was your explanation on top of like an animation of those areas that we could feel and understand them better but I’m going to watch your exercises videos to fix these pains hopefully without a surgery.
Thank you,
Such valuable information, you know what you are talking about, your videos are a breakthrough thank you Doctor.
Thank you for being a voice of reason in allowing the body to try to heal itself. Also, do you have any good information on trigeminal neuralgia? Thank you!
Thank you, great teaching and advice ❤
Ahhhh this IS the lifesaver video. Every important aspect is hit but still explained in a highly accessible way and its ACCURATE 😭 Thank you so much, i am no longer afraid i have a RTC but definitely in an impingement to tendinitis progression lol
thankyou for this very clear explanantion of the shoulder pain, It has reassured me to seek help for my shoulder before it gets to RCT !! clear and helpful advice 👍🏻
Thank you for the great advise !!
Great explanation! Thanks! Just had an MRI going to see my orthopedic doctor tomorrow to discuss the findings. Wish me luck!
Thank you!! Finally a professional that understands!! I have a shoulder injury with a MRI scheduled soon to tell me exactly what’s going on. In severe pain but explained to a doctor that my neck muscles were sore & he told me I need a spine doctor, that neck & shoulder muscles don’t work together as a group. Needless to say, I insisted on getting a new doctor. Not sure why I feel numb from my elbow down to my fingertips at times too but there is something nasty going on in my shoulder & bicep area.
This was helpful and easy to watch. Thank you. 👍
Thank you! Tendonitis makes most sense with my arm- sleeping on my back and gentle exercise!
Thank you. Helpful, clear information.
Great vid! Had all 3 situations. Well explained
Thank you so much for explaining a detailed information on RTC and tendinitis. I have been suffering from severe pain on my left shoulder for over a year and just had MRI with contrast and showed Partial RTC. I wake up in middle of the night or morning in excruciating pain that brings me to tears. Your video was very helpful 👍
Perfeito!Excelente explanação! Gratidão ❤
Finally figured out my shoulder pain thank you 🙏🏽 damn tendinitis
Perfect explanation,thank you doctor
Ugh finally a simple freaking answer. Thank you for the no-nonsense content!!
Hi Leo, you're welcome! Thanks for the kind words and being part of our community.
That was explained really well and I learned a lot. I have a shoulder impingement apparently. Maybe some tendinitis. This made it clear though it isn't torn though.
Great! We're glad you got some clarity Lorne!
This was very informative. Thanks!
Thank you for your clear explanation..👍
Thank you Doctor! Your explanation has really helped me to better understand my shoulder problem. I am currently between the 1st two.
I have come along way from my torn rotator cuff about two years ago. I couldn't even grasp a piece of paper, my arm felt like it wasn't even there unless it was in pain. I definitely could not raise my arm above my head or behind my back.
Physical therapy helped me get back my motion.
Unfortunately I'm now suffering with the same shoulder due to using crutches for a few days with a broken foot. I now have a knee scooter to get around although the pain in my shoulder is unbearable and keeping me a prisoner to my bed with ice on it.
Thank for explaining this differences ❤😊.
Oh my yes. Great explanation !
Thank you for how you explained all this. I've been trying to learn more about rotator cuff tear and shoulder impingement to better understand my pain. This was very informative.

You are THE BEST!!! THANK you so much for this video!!!
I have an impingement from lifting. Your videos are helping
Excellent video, right on what i am going through.
Thank you for this video..
I'm dealing with a 21mm full depth tear on my left shoulder tendon and it's been really hard to deal with over the last 18months.
I'm trying to avoid surgery so any advice from you would be very much appreciated.
Hey mate thanks for the explanation, I've been putting off going to my doctor and physio for my shoulder pain for a while now and have finally decided to research what is actually wrong with me, Tendinitis it is!
Now for some home therapy, thank you
Thank you for the great information you have given. You provided a very organized, easy to understand explanation of the spectrum of pain from impingement, to tendonitis, progressing to tear. They seem to segue from one to the other and so on, and how I wish you could help us manage the problem without resorting to surgery.
You have given the most clear explanation of this problem by far! More power to you!!!
Thank
You for this, I’ve had multiple issues and this has explained it perfectly.
Hey there, you are so welcome! Glad we could help you!
That was such a great explanation!! The ER doctor didn’t even explain it like that!
Thank you so much for producing this video. I've been suffering from shoulder pain (both shoulders, est 80% right side) for months now. According to your video and my symptoms, it seems it is Shoulder Tendonitis I have. I will be looking up your therapy and exercise videos to try to get back to health. Thank you, again!
I have the same problem in both shoulders. I had to do physical therapy but it didn't help. I now have an upcoming MRI scheduled in 2wks possibly might have to have surgery. I've been in this pain for 5mths now.
You sir ...are/is amazing in your diagnostic definition. Thank you. I am going in for MRI. It hurts when not moving. Wake up in middle of the night with pain. Numbness is terrible in fingers. Most likely a rotator cuff tear. We will see. Thank you.
Fantastic explanation!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for your explanation
Thanks for the video explains so much more than anyone I've ever watched.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I will be looking at more of your videos plus it's good to see you are in my hometown. That's one reason I watched the video in the first place grew up in El Paso. Thanks again and will check out your video. I miss the great Mexican food there. Take care
Hey Chrater! The Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program has officially launched check it out here:
The Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program is a comprehensive program designed to get your shoulder pain under control to allow the rotator cuff tendons to heal. Then it guides you to correct the underlying root muscle imbalances so that you can fix the source of the problem (rather than just treat the symptoms) and get long-term relief from shoulder pain. This program works even if you've had rotator cuff surgery in the past but continue to have rotator cuff problems. To learn more please click this link: www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/rotator-cuff-tear-recovery-program/
Awesome video, I'm going to the orthopedic specialist on Monday so hopefully they can tell me exactly which issue I have but I think it's a tear. I'm about to watch your excise video.
best video ive seen about this, thank you
Best explanation yet!!
Excellent explanation, thanks
Such an excellent video! Thank you for those easy-to-understand explanations about the 3 common shoulder issues. I’m looking forward to watching the ones with the exercises. :)

Thanks again! I think mine is an impingement issue so my next move is to watch your video with exercises for that. Also, does cold laser therapy help as well?
Definitely RTC for me - loss of motion. Thanks so much Dr D for explaining this. And for the link to fix it. Can't thank u enough for ur videos and 28 day programs. I'm all for fixing rather than meds and ops !
You're welcome Miriam!!! We're happy to be able to help you out!
Great video. I know now what's happening in my shoulder.
Great explanation and information, thank you!
Hey Andrew! You're very welcome!
This was really helpful mate thanks
Thank you for the video. I have suffered from shoulder pain for 10 years... if I had seen this back then, I would have gone to a doctor sooner. Now I am in "RTC" territory, but at least I am starting PT.
Very well done video, thanks.
Great video. Very well done.
So helpful thank you!!!!❤
Thank you so much! Your video really helped me understand what I need to do and what is going on! God Bless
Hi Katherine, you are very welcome! We are thrilled that this information was beneficial to you. We hope that you feel some relief soon.🙌 Many blessings to you!
This is an absolutely fantastic video. I'm a poster child for shoulder injury and progression of symptoms, pretty much spot on to what you mention. Rotator cuff, labrum and biceps tear back in 2006 with surgery in 2007. For the most part got considerably better for years, but I've continued to play throwing sports (as best I can) with moderate success (I'd say 80% back to original at one point), but in recent years the shoulder is going downhill with arthritis and a quick sharp momentary pain only when I try to throw hard. Could throw soft toss all day without pain. Man does this annoy the heck out of me. I don't want to give up sports, even at age 55. Anyhow, this is a superb video for anyone wanting more shoulder information. Trust me, I know. On a final note, NEVER GIVE UP!!! :)
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Great explanation! 👍
Hi TiffiT, You are welcome! We appreciate the words of encouragement. 🧡
Clear information. Thanks! From
the Antipodes (Aotearoa-New Zealand)
your description is exactly what I have
Thank you so much for this clear and informative video 🙏. I started boxing two weeks ago and within my second week I felt shoulder pain. I feared it was a RTC but with your video I believe it may just be impingement.
Solid video, everything I was reading made it seem like I had a tear, but it seems like I'm on the Impingement side where I just need to take it easy for a while on that shoulder.
I also need to stop sleeping with my arm up since I feel like that's what messed it up. I had started doing weight training and I feel like having my arm stretched like that all night stopped it from recovering properly for the next workout which led to the injury.
They only video that explain it very clear and simple to understand the whole case of this pain I have.
Thanks alot Dr from iraq. God bless your life

Thank you very much for this...most videos don't mention that impingement & tendonitis can also have some of the similar symptoms as a tear (stiff when you wake up, etc). I was confused because after watching those other videos I matched with some of the symptoms of a tear, but I feel no pain when just sitting around, I can lift my arm pain-free 90% of the time, and have no pain at the top of the shoulder where the bone ends, etc. I was also baffled because there was a specific spot on the front of my delt, down pretty low, near the tie-in with the pec where it hurts most. I also wasn't experiencing weakness; I still bench pressed two more times since the onset of the pain (not a smart idea in retrospect), and though it was painful my strength wasn't reduced. It was frustrating trying to figure out what was going on, but after watching this video my symptoms sound EXACTLY like shoulder tendonitis. Thank you so much, I can watch the other videos you have now for some rehab ideas (along with laying off benching for a couple weeks obviously).
You’re welcome Accipter22! We’re glad that you got clarity on what is going on so you can better help yourself in fixing this problem!!! Best of luck to you!!!
Hey just wanna know about those symptoms, did u have an issue when you were moving your arm BEHIND your body, for eg the position of your arm when you're at the bottom of a pushup, or when you're rowing and you're at the top of the motion? Because thats the major movement that gives me pain, that too at a specific spot.
Great explanation bro...well done
thank you so much for this- I now am much less freaked out now that I understand the difference between tendonitis/rct/impingement
Thank you for this explanation.
Thanks for the information !!
Beautiful explanation! Thank you so much!
Hi Super, you're welcome! Thank you so much for tuning in.🙌
Thanks for great explanation. Not entirely sure what I've done yet. But it's affected my grip. And it involves my biceps, too.
This was so helpful ❤😊
