Mate, I've been in pain every day for 4 years because of my shoulder ( rotator cuff) injury. I have tried several chiropractic, physio therapy, and 3 injection so far in 3 different spots, plus many types of exercise and non of them helped me at all. I just saw your video yesterday and i grabbed my stretch belt and tried exactly as you showing in the video. i felt bit of relief at night after a few hours, in the morning there was more relief i never felted for 4 years, today I repeated the exercise and did my gym as normal, oh my God, amazing feeling and for the first time in 4 years there is no pain at some stages. Sorry for long story. just wanted to say thank you so much and God bless you 🙏☺️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Doc feel better with 2 sessions a day,, added in some yoga.. I had overworked rh shoulder as a 55 yr old painter...and Mountain biking. Impingent, & pain through shoulder ,forearm..10 out 10 in pain..had to take some anti inflamation tabs... But now 4 days in 65%recovery... So 2 -3weeks should be back game on😊😊🚴♂️🚴♂️ Jack in Australia
@@painfixprotocol During all the steps you show you did not say what we should do if ANY MOVEMENT IS JUST TOO PAINFUL TO TRY THE EXERCISES YOU ARE SHOWING......what are we supposed to do in this case ?
@@JVSwailesBoudicca Please go through video again as he mentioned how to reduce resistance many times in this video so loosen the resistance band to make it easy. I am sure 3rd exercise of shoulder roll can be done without resistance band if it pains. Take medical advise if it pains without resistance band.
@@diaryofnricom163 Thank you so much for your helpful comments. Yes, I perhaps did not take in all he said, Iwill look again & take more time. I have been to a Physiotherapist twice & they give me similar exercises to do but - unless I don't use my arm for 3 or 4 days - it never improves. But, it is difficult not to use the arm when the chores of everyday living are always there !
Thank you. I can feel a difference in pain from just following you through the video as you did it. I have been miserable for 2 weeks. I’m hoping these exercises will help. The band is helping my hurt shoulder be able to complete the rotations. My healthy shoulder is able to pull up the injured while using it. I can see how the simple use of a band makes so much sense. How it aided the hurt shoulder gave me an aha moment.
Fantastic exercises! After months of pain and trying different exercises with limited relief, the first exercise....amazing! Loving the feeling to get through the day without shoulder pain. Thank you, Dr. Yoni.
I have been suffering with physical therapy 4 Months. Then decided to stop therapy and exercise on my own. I was never shown exercises shown on your video. I did them and within 10 minutes I feel better. I "Subscribed", "Liked" and chose "All" hoping to get more content. Thank You: Dr. Yoni Whitten
Two days of pain and not able to lift my arm up. Immediately after performing all three exercises I see a 90% improvement in mobility and pain reduction. Thank you Dr.
I can’t believe this! Thank you so much. I’ve been in pains for so long with my left shoulder and I just felt a lot of relief after doing the last exercise in particular.
I fell twice on my right shoulder from ice on the ground about 10 years ago now that I am 66 years old I am having great pain in my right shoulder and I’m definitely going to try that exercise. I’ve been working my arm. I refuse to let it, freeze up on me. I still stretch the arm. It’s painful but I will not let it freeze up so thank you for those exercises.
Wait, what? I've been in pain for around 3 months. Couldn't raise my left arm more than 90 degrees. Watched various videos with no luck. After the first exercise "band assisted extension" I already can raise my left arm to around 120 degrees. Thank you! I'm going back to the video now.. I had to comment immediately, this is great.
Yeah kinda amazing. I get some of that pain when lifting and I fit all the descriptors here of thumb angle etc in spades. I also can't really do these exercises well but I tried them once and boom, arms are hanging down differently, kinda amazing. I will have to see if the pain is gone but it only shows itself intermittently so I'm not sure yet. Gonna be a good deal if this is all I need, i had assumed there was a muscle tear from long ago.
Out of all the videos and routines on TH-cam, this is the most helpful!!! This helped me so much and reduced my shoulder pain by 95%! Range of motion is way better as well. Did this when I woke up and before I went to bed! Thank you sir 🙏🏻
Thank you, this worked! I was having frustrating front of shoulder pain. Playing racquet sports with some pain, not good. I tried other rehab didnt see much improvement. This worked!!! I felt improvement from first try. A week later after doing the exercises every day I am playing without pain and with more range of motion. Months of suffering with this ended. Thank you very very much.
This guy is a legend! Don’t know if it will allow me to head back to gym and work out the way I used to however my pain is definitely getting better and everything he said resonates with me so well
Perfect timing! I just completed in person PT for frozen shoulder and am now strengthening and stretching at home. These are similar to what I am to do and the visual truly helps. Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU!! I had terrible left shoulder pain for days. Couldn’t even move my arm cause it hurt like heck. Followed the steps in the video ONE TIME! And now I am back to normal and no more pain. SUBSCRIBED 👍🙏
Brother don't stop what you're doing. For some reason these exercises truly helped pain I've been dealing with for the better part of 2 years, almost instantly. Thank you so much for this content!
On my job a lot of guys get shoulder pain and one thing recommended by Drs are surgery. Well I just happen to get this exact pain. I couldn’t lift my arm and definitely couldn’t lay in my shoulder without excruciating pain. I know I don’t want surgery so I started looking on YT and I found this. Two days after this and my arms feel so much better. I can actually sleep on my arm. I’m hooked already with your site. Thanks
Wow! Couldn’t use my shoulder without massive pain after sleeping on it wrong a few days ago. I felt instant relief after doing two sets of each exercise. Thank you!
I was in a horrible vehicle accident, 22 staple in the back of my head. Along with neck and back injuries. I couldn't sleep on my back or sides, so with no other choice sleeping on my stomach with wrists tucked under my chin elbows pointed forward. A few days in to this. My shoulders were completely shot. Coupled with the pain from holding the steering wheel when I was rear ended I have been in the utmost pain with no way to help it. Any other tips would be appreciated
So sorry to hear about your accident! I would encourage you to see the playlists that I've created. They are conveniently organized according to region of the body: www.youtube.com/@painfixprotocol/playlists
Huge improvement after just one set - can now lift my arm over my head thank you! Amazing 😊 Gradual improvement over several days. Really made a difference thank you
Wonderful exercises. I have been in shoulder pain for the last 2 years. Went to 2 or 3 different PTs and followed lots of videos. No improvement. These exercises really helped. God bless you.
Thank you sooo much! Your video and one other helped me out so much! After months of being in pain I found you and did the exercises and tips over the course of a few weeks (some exercises more than others a few days per week) and my pain is 100% gone.
Thank you for the insightful and enjoyable video on Shoulder Impingement! I've personally experienced this issue before, unknowingly overworking my shoulder during a project involving painting, wall sanding, and heavy lifting. Initially, I disregarded the mild discomfort, trying to soldier on with my other arm (which turned out to be a big mistake). However, the pain escalated drastically by the second day, making any movement unbearable. Upon consulting a doctor, I was diagnosed with medium to severe inflammation in my neck, trap, and rear shoulder areas, necessitating painkillers and cortisone injections. I subsequently dealt with intermittent inner-joint discomfort, fearing it might be a permanent issue. I'm now visiting Dr. Yoni's stretching advice and revisiting other resources to share simple steps with my mom until I can assist her personally. Since incorporating shoulder, lats, chest, and back stretches into my life routine, my shoulder issues have thankfully vanished. Additionally, using a handgun massage tool and various stretching techniques using the floor, wall, and door frame has significantly improved my range of motion. I've come to understand the importance of full-body stretching and maintaining an overall range of motion, particularly for those who work out, as tight muscles and restricted mobility can lead to such problems. Thank you again for the invaluable insights, and I wish everyone a swift recovery! @FreakyFunnies www.youtube.com/@FreakyFunnies
I echo what other people wrote. I had been dealing with a shoulder with limited movement for the past month. Upon doing your exercises, I experienced a 90% immediate improvement. I also appreciate the knowledge regarding my posture as I think this might have caused the issue in the first place. Hope your work can reach more and more people that may be in need (and in pain) around the globe. Thank you.
Been having Trouble with a shoulder impingement for a few years now getting better . But I’ve seen at least 40 videos on the topic and you picked the best overall workouts 👍
Just found this video now, and I feel grateful for you, Dr .Yoni, for demonstrating these exercises. I have cronic shoulder and arm pain, so I need to try it.
Wow!! Thank you sir. You can’t imagine how much you saved me. I’ve been suffering from shoulder pain for 2 years. I tried your exercises for the first time and and I feel better. I will keep doing it every for total recovery. Thank you very much.
Thanks Dear Dr.Yoni; I used to have gyno and over time developed rounded shoulders because of bad posture from it; even though I don't have it now I still have the bad posture from years of bad posture These exercise really help thanks
I'm 52 I've been in pain for months really messed up my fitness routine, I did this just once, I mean literally the first one just one set and I'm relieved instantly, could hardly lift my arm up when I woke up this morning, I can't wait for total relief from this..........thank you!!
Just what I needed - I’ve been struggling with my left shoulder. I can still lift upwards but anything out to the side is so painful😩 I’ll definitely start these exercises - THANK YOU!🙏🏼
I have had the shoulder problem for over a month. Some relief came after the first time I tried the exercises. Will continue doing as recommended. Thank you very much
I don't know if this is a placebo for me. But, I have 6 months with this shoulder problem and doing different exercises. My friend shared this video with me. After doing this exercise just the sets he suggested, I could move my shoulders about 120 degrees already. I'm talking about just the first time doing it. This dude knows his stuff. I've shared it to 5 my friends already. Thank you!!! You're the best!!
The last few months I was having bad pains in left shoulder. Thought it was RTC tear this whole time. I was "hanging" which helped, however, today I tried these exercises. I can't believe how much it helped like 1000% just the first time while in gym. Something opened up and feels like the "impingement" was subdued or minimized and I went thru my workout feeling great with little to no pain. THANK YOU FOR THESE EXERCISES!!
Doctor....! I love to be here reading everyone's comments.. They love you so much and I love you also😊 You are jem for all the shoulder related patience
Thanks very much lots of positive comments Im going to try this ive got subscapularis and long head bicep problems in both shoulders got alot of pain struggling to do alot of stuff.
Update tried this 2 days in both times it's too painful to do any of them but I force myself to work through it. My subscapularis and bicep tendons are fucked. What do you recommend that will help fix my issues I've got pain both sides left ones more dramatic but both really bad.
Without an examination, it's not possible to offer specific recommendations. However, as a general rule, it's best to avoid movements that cause or increase pain during rehabilitation. I would strongly urge you to seek out a qualified practitioner in your area who can assess your problem and design a rehab program tailored for you.
@@painfixprotocol thanks for your reply, I'm waiting physio been a long process I've been private it helped but it then felt as if it started to get worse again I was then referred to NHS GP and that took ages and I got even worse now waiting for 2nd Physio appointment from NHS. I do external and internal rotations with a 1kg weight daily and I think that's not improving anything more of just prolonging the issues But not making me too worse off
Absolutely this is my biggest problem. Can’t sleep on my shoulder can’t move as much as I want. But I will start working today. Let see the results come up.
Many thanks I have just contracted this impingment I put it down to trying to do to many Chin-ups, I am 75 years old, this is the only new exercise I have been doing recently, so I am trying your rehab. Many thanks.
I really loved this video! You described the pain in detail to make sure I was on the right video. Then you explained the causes, and the exercise demonstrations were great! On top of all that, tons of smiles gave a great vibe. I felt like I just left a doctor's appointment more than that I finished a video!
Yes please Dr Yoni - your digital family member would love to see more shoulder pain relief exercises. I have been in shoulder pain for at least 7 years. I know my left shoulder is in a rounded forward position which causes poor alignment when walking resulting in chronic shoulder, upper Thoracic, low back pain and sacrum pain pain. I do have your head l lb weight which I am working on to bring head back. I am truly, truly grateful for all you do for your Digital family and I will be incorporating your shoulder workout to help me “get out of Pain”. Laura in Toronto
@@painfixprotocol Would LOVE to see some exercises on strengthening the shoulder muscle itself. These three have been very helpful for impingement related issues, but my overall shoulder muscle (not sure of the name, but the one on top(!)) is very weak. If I'm reaching for something on an upper shelf -- it feels like it'll just give out...
I am sorry to say that I cannot do exercise #3. I am currently having difficulty putting a jacket on. I have started the other two hopefully they will help. Suffering here for nearly 10 years. Frustrated to say the least. I have tried nearly everything Shock wave therapy, TriGenics. Prolo, Ozone, accupunture, Massage,TBM, Red Light, PEMF, Dry Needling, Trigger Point injections and others. All therapist were shocked at the lack of results and blamed Arthritis as the cause even hung for two minutes a day with no improvement only an increase in pain. I am 72 and a former powerlifter. Sorry for the complaining……
After a complete shoulder replacement suffered from shoulder impingement. Surgeon not helpful and went 3 years to pt. It's better but not normal. Will try these exercises.
I suddenly developed severe pain in my left shoulder and arm. Within a few days, I found you're a great video and relieve my pain. Almost instantly. I've asked many different people, including 3 different physical therapists about it. Nobody had an answer as good as yours. Thank you!
You Good Sir are a LEGEND! A CT Scan confirms I am in need of some "shoulder reconstruction surgery" and in a reasonable amount of constant shoulder pain. Just moving very slowly I felt a little pain relief. Thank You
I was diagnosed with shoulder strain from doing dumbell flys. How long usually does soreness last? 4-6 weeks? I'm using bands..Do these 3-4 exercises are enough or more exercises with bands the better?@@painfixprotocol
i can't believe it... for 2 years i couldn't dumbbell pres more then 70 lbs without pain... today i did incline 100 lbs for few reps without pain... unbelievable. 🙏 thx thx thx i only did the the stretching routine for 2 days.. i will continue with it forever
I cannot believe this instant relief I felt when I did these movements!!! I'm in a believer and subscriber! You were clear, concise and easy to understand. I wasn't confused by what you were saying! I'm here and will be watching all your videos to get myself together!!! Dr Yoni is our here to doing the work!!!!
Thank you! Bless you! I haven't been able to do half of the shoulder exercises due to shoulder pain. I thought it was arthritis and that it's just the way things are now. Then I did this routine and two days later the pain is all but negligible!
I've had shoulder issues for many years. It comes and goes. The inflammation of the shoulder prevents me from having full mobility and I'm only 41 yrs old. Also, my neck gets tensed and I often feel I have to crack it. (Right shoulder). This video helped quite a bit. Any other stretches or suggestions for me? Thank you very much in advance!
@@andylaz.83 you might not have a different problem than the one already addressed here.. but check with a doctor to make it clear, what type of problem you might have; also look for general exercises for correction of posture and recovering from shoulder impingement, either here or from other creators on the topic, or other trainers outside the yt realm. one name comes to my mind : "Precision movement" channel, might already be in the related videos here.. i had a similar need after injuring my shoulder in my mid 30's (i am 41 as well), i tried those kind of exercises in addition to isometric hanging (activating back, lats.. not necessarily turning it into pull ups movement), you can go gradual at it (not full weight directly), you can start at an accessible angle (helped by you feet), according to how bad is your current state. whatever you try, start with lowest intensity, so you "catch" yourself before doing harm with some weird angle of action...
I have been hurting for about 2 months did the 3 exercises this morning arm did not hurt none today and just finished another set of exercises hope I wake up with no pain.
Gobsmacked! you summarised everything that was wrong with me in the first minute or so. I have been telling my Doctors that I thought a lot of the problem was caused by poor body posture. I am elderly, worked in a stooped position for years over a computer, have rounded shoulders with a forward head position and a lack of strength in my upper arms and shoulders. I am diabetic so my tendons are not in best shape anyway. Not one of these exercises has been mentioned to me. I have had this for over 6 months and have difficulty sleeping so I shall definately try these for a couple of months 😀and report back. Thank You
This is great. I've just started it and I can tell it's going to improve my shoulder issues. Thank you! and wow it's like really beautiful to look at doing it ❤
After following all you TH-camrs advice for years, my right shoulder still the same as hell until I see a acupuncturist. Now my shoulder feels much much better after 5 sessions! It’s much much more mobilized and much much less pain!
Instant relief! Wow! I’m in overall very good shape but either slept on my shoulder wrong, or over did something. These exercises restored a good amount of mobility and removed much of the burning pain of the joint. Subscribed-upvoted-notifications
Couldn’t move my right arm forward or to the side at all without excruciating pain, the first exercise helped tremendously after 2 days. At 3 days I’m 80% better, thank you so much for this!!
@@painfixprotocol At the time I didn't know if I had shoulder impingement or a torn rotator cuff, I tried exercises in many videos for both. Since this exercise was so affective, I would assume I had impingement and not a torn cuff? Do these exercises not work for torn rotator cuffs as well? Thanks so much again!
I have been suffering sholder pain for more than a week and it kills me, I couldn't do anything and despite the pain I kept going to gym, since Saturday watched many videos and did many exercises and i feel much better. I admit that your exercise helped me too thank you. ❤
my shoulder suddenly popped from shooting hoops, i thought the pain would go away but it resurfaced some days after. did what you said and boy it did wonders! thank you for giving out invaluable information to us doc!
Dr. Whitten, I had long head muscle tear in my left arm since last year. I've tried all kind of Impingement, shoulder pain exercises in in last 12 months. And I've learned to just live with the pain. I seen a specialist back when it first happened. And he said there was no concern for X - rays or a MRI's. I'll give myself 4 weeks of your exercise a try. I'm hoping for some kind of relief. Thank You, Chris
Sorry to hear of your injury, Chris. The rehab protocol for a muscle tear in the long head of the biceps is very different from a shoulder impingement protocol. If you're still in significant pain, 12 months after the tear - having tried multiple conservative treatment options - then imaging is absolutely warranted (and overdue at this point).
Thanks Doc. Your video was very informative and it really works. As being a surfer most of my life and doing construction, I had a bad couple months where I thought I hurt myself. My left shoulder was in pain after a surf and didnt know why. Months went on thinking I might have pulled something but it was something else. After watching your vid I went and started the workout and started keeping a better posture. This made a big difference and I think it was causing the pain. Having a better posture is key. Thanks again Doc!
This is the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen. Provided immediate relief of pain from impingement in both of my shoulders after the first set. The pain did return later in the day. Hopefully the relief will be long lasting over the next few weeks as I continue to perform these exercises consistently. Question I have is how many times a day should this routine be performed?
So glad it was helpful! The number of times per day will vary from one individual to the next. But I would typically start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no soreness (from the exercises).
You're most welcome! The number of times per day will vary from one individual to the next. But I would typically start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no additional soreness/discomfort (from the exercises).
Great information, Yoni. I underwent physical therapy for my shoulders a few years ago, but it didn't seem to effect much. Even after only one round of your exercises, judging solely on how it impacted my shoulders, it appears that your therapy will be more effective. Thank you, sir.

Thank you for the insightful and enjoyable video on Shoulder Impingement! I've personally experienced this issue before, unknowingly overworking my shoulder during a project involving painting, wall sanding, and heavy lifting. Initially, I disregarded the mild discomfort, trying to soldier on with my other arm (which turned out to be a big mistake). However, the pain escalated drastically by the second day, making any movement unbearable. Upon consulting a doctor, I was diagnosed with medium to severe inflammation in my neck, trap, and rear shoulder areas, necessitating painkillers and cortisone injections. I subsequently dealt with intermittent inner-joint discomfort, fearing it might be a permanent issue.
I'm now visiting Dr. Yoni's stretching advice and revisiting other resources to share simple steps with my mom until I can assist her personally. Since incorporating shoulder, lats, chest, and back stretches into my life routine, my shoulder issues have thankfully vanished. Additionally, using a handgun massage tool and various stretching techniques using the floor, wall, and door frame has significantly improved my range of motion. I've come to understand the importance of full-body stretching and maintaining an overall range of motion, particularly for those who work out, as tight muscles and restricted mobility can lead to such problems. Thank you again for the invaluable insights, and I wish everyone a swift recovery!

I echo what other people wrote. I had been dealing with a shoulder with limited movement for the past month. Upon doing your exercises, I experienced a 90% immediate improvement. I also appreciate the knowledge regarding my posture as I think this might have caused the issue in the first place. Hope your work can reach more and more people that may be in need (and in pain) around the globe. Thank you.
Thank you for kind words & support! I'm happy this has helped you so much!
The intro to this video perfectly describes all my symptoms!
Cheers, Sara!
I did these excercises now watching the vídeo. I would like more vídeos about shoulder and back problems! Thank you and God bless...
More to come, Jose!
Been having Trouble with a shoulder impingement for a few years now getting better . But I’ve seen at least 40 videos on the topic and you picked the best overall workouts 👍
So glad it was helpful!
Just found this video now, and I feel grateful for you, Dr .Yoni, for demonstrating these exercises.
I have cronic shoulder and arm pain, so I need to try it.
I hope it helps. Cheers, Lina!
Wow!! Thank you sir. You can’t imagine how much you saved me. I’ve been suffering from shoulder pain for 2 years. I tried your exercises for the first time and and I feel better. I will keep doing it every for total recovery. Thank you very much.
You're most welcome, Eric! I'm happy this is helpful for you!
Thanks Dear Dr.Yoni;
I used to have gyno and over time developed rounded shoulders because of bad posture from it;
even though I don't have it now I still have the bad posture from years of bad posture
These exercise really help thanks
You're most welcome!
I'm 52 I've been in pain for months really messed up my fitness routine, I did this just once, I mean literally the first one just one set and I'm relieved instantly, could hardly lift my arm up when I woke up this morning, I can't wait for total relief from this..........thank you!!
That's AWESOME! So happy this was helpful for you!
Just what I needed - I’ve been struggling with my left shoulder. I can still lift upwards but anything out to the side is so painful😩 I’ll definitely start these exercises - THANK YOU!🙏🏼
I hope one or two of these can help speed your recovery!
@@painfixprotocol Thanks for the reply!🥹🙏🏼
I have had the shoulder problem for over a month. Some relief came after the first time I tried the exercises. Will continue doing as recommended.
Thank you very much
You're most welcome!
Thanks. This simple 3-step strategy feels good and gives relief.
So glad it's helping, Griegg!!
I don't know if this is a placebo for me. But, I have 6 months with this shoulder problem and doing different exercises. My friend shared this video with me. After doing this exercise just the sets he suggested, I could move my shoulders about 120 degrees already. I'm talking about just the first time doing it. This dude knows his stuff. I've shared it to 5 my friends already.
Thank you!!! You're the best!!
That's great, Jason! Thanks so much for sharing!
The last few months I was having bad pains in left shoulder. Thought it was RTC tear this whole time.
I was "hanging" which helped, however, today I tried these exercises. I can't believe how much it helped like 1000% just the first time while in gym. Something opened up and feels like the "impingement" was subdued or minimized and I went thru my workout feeling great with little to no pain.
THANK YOU FOR THESE EXERCISES!!
That is AWESOME!!!
I'm so happy this content helped you out!
Doctor....! I love to be here reading everyone's comments.. They love you so much and I love you also😊
You are jem for all the shoulder related patience
That's very kind of you, Karim! Thank you!
Man I have been suffering for a very long time but you have just ended my suffering.
I am deeply thankful for this video
That's awesome! I'm very happy to help!
It works! I just did once all the 3 excersices and got more flexibility on my shoulder. I will keep with the routine. Thank you very much!
Wonderful! So glad to hear it!
Another adding thanks and appreciation - right shoulder has been hurting for several months. Will try these.
I hope they're helpful for you, Candleflower!
Thanks very much lots of positive comments Im going to try this ive got subscapularis and long head bicep problems in both shoulders got alot of pain struggling to do alot of stuff.
Update tried this 2 days in both times it's too painful to do any of them but I force myself to work through it. My subscapularis and bicep tendons are fucked. What do you recommend that will help fix my issues I've got pain both sides left ones more dramatic but both really bad.
Without an examination, it's not possible to offer specific recommendations. However, as a general rule, it's best to avoid movements that cause or increase pain during rehabilitation. I would strongly urge you to seek out a qualified practitioner in your area who can assess your problem and design a rehab program tailored for you.
@@painfixprotocol thanks for your reply, I'm waiting physio been a long process I've been private it helped but it then felt as if it started to get worse again I was then referred to NHS GP and that took ages and I got even worse now waiting for 2nd Physio appointment from NHS. I do external and internal rotations with a 1kg weight daily and I think that's not improving anything more of just prolonging the issues But not making me too worse off
Absolutely this is my biggest problem. Can’t sleep on my shoulder can’t move as much as I want. But I will start working today. Let see the results come up.
Hope it's helpful for you!
How it working out for you?
DID first exercise, what a PAIN relief, straight up felt my posture changing.. TNX a lot!
You're most welcome. Happy this was so helpful for you!
keep it simple - what an amazing program , thank you for sharing
Thanks very much, Pam! Cheers!
Many thanks I have just contracted this impingment I put it down to trying to do to many Chin-ups, I am 75 years old, this is the only new exercise I have been doing recently, so I am trying your rehab. Many thanks.
You're welcome, John. I hope this helps to speed your recovery!
Very good, thank you for sharing your precious knowledge about this problem
Glad it was helpful, Ada!
I really loved this video!
You described the pain in detail to make sure I was on the right video. Then you explained the causes, and the exercise demonstrations were great! On top of all that, tons of smiles gave a great vibe. I felt like I just left a doctor's appointment more than that I finished a video!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed this!
Yes please Dr Yoni - your digital family member would love to see more shoulder pain relief exercises. I have been in shoulder pain for at least 7 years. I know my left shoulder is in a rounded forward position which causes poor alignment when walking resulting in chronic shoulder, upper Thoracic, low back pain and sacrum pain pain. I do have your head l lb weight which I am working on to bring head back. I am truly, truly grateful for all you do for your Digital family and I will be incorporating your shoulder workout to help me “get out of Pain”. Laura in Toronto
Cheers Laura! Rest assured I've got lots more content in the works. I really appreciate your kind words and support!
@@painfixprotocol Would LOVE to see some exercises on strengthening the shoulder muscle itself. These three have been very helpful for impingement related issues, but my overall shoulder muscle (not sure of the name, but the one on top(!)) is very weak. If I'm reaching for something on an upper shelf -- it feels like it'll just give out...
Absolutely Tremendous! I did these exercises as I watched along, just a couple of each and I got instant relief! God bless
That's fantastic! Cheers!
@@painfixprotocol I repeated these exercises throughout the day and I am a lot better! Thanks Doc
Love your videos which provide a great service to humanity! This is exactly the issue that I have beed dealing with.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad this video was helpful!
I am sorry to say that I cannot do exercise #3. I am currently having difficulty putting a jacket on. I have started the other two hopefully they will help. Suffering here for nearly 10 years. Frustrated to say the least. I have tried nearly everything Shock wave therapy, TriGenics. Prolo, Ozone, accupunture, Massage,TBM, Red Light, PEMF, Dry Needling, Trigger
Point injections and others.
All therapist were shocked at the lack of results and blamed Arthritis as the cause even hung for two minutes a day with no improvement only an increase in pain. I am 72 and a former powerlifter. Sorry for the complaining……
Within two days, there is a significant improvement in pain and mobility. Thank You!!!
Glad to hear it, Mr. Cox!
After a complete shoulder replacement suffered from shoulder impingement. Surgeon not helpful and went 3 years to pt. It's better but not normal. Will try these exercises.
Sorry to hear of your challenges, Pamela. I hope 1 or 2 of these are helpful for you!
I suddenly developed severe pain in my left shoulder and arm. Within a few days, I found you're a great video and relieve my pain. Almost instantly. I've asked many different people, including 3 different physical therapists about it. Nobody had an answer as good as yours. Thank you!
That's awesome, Vincent! I'm so happy this helped you!
I cant believe this worked, and so quickly.
Btw great arms
Fanstastic, Thomas! So glad this was helpful - And thanks!
How quick is quickly? I could feel relief and stretch while watching this video and trying the exercises
That's awesome@@camshpinc.1812!
thanks! exercises gave me instant relief from shoulder impingement
Great to hear! Cheers Varun!
GOD BLESS THIS GUY
Many thanks!
You Good Sir are a LEGEND!
A CT Scan confirms I am in need of some "shoulder reconstruction surgery" and in a reasonable amount of constant shoulder pain. Just moving very slowly I felt a little pain relief. Thank You
Cheers, Spike! I'm so glad this was helpful for you!
That is an excellent video. Thank you so much.
Much appreciated, Sheehan!
I just found you. I also have been falling Bob and Brad for years, but my shoulder is terrible so I’m looking forward to this one. Thank you.
Welcome to the PFP Community, Peggy!

Wow! and immediate improvement! thank you
So glad it helps! Cheers!
I was diagnosed with shoulder strain from doing dumbell flys. How long usually does soreness last? 4-6 weeks? I'm using bands..Do these 3-4 exercises are enough or more exercises with bands the better?@@painfixprotocol
i can't believe it... for 2 years i couldn't dumbbell pres more then 70 lbs without pain... today i did incline 100 lbs for few reps without pain... unbelievable. 🙏 thx thx thx i only did the the stretching routine for 2 days.. i will continue with it forever
Cheers! I'm so glad this was helpful for you!
I just did this once and pain gone😊
That's AWESOME, @verykekker!!!
@@painfixprotocolcan this be done without using a band?
@@Asif49858 Yes, but it will be much more effective as outlined here with a band.
@@painfixprotocol The 2nd one helped, so can one skip the first and last until they feel stronger?
@@DDumbrille Absolutely! Feel free to use what works for you and disregard the rest.
I cannot believe this instant relief I felt when I did these movements!!! I'm in a believer and subscriber! You were clear, concise and easy to understand. I wasn't confused by what you were saying! I'm here and will be watching all your videos to get myself together!!! Dr Yoni is our here to doing the work!!!!
I'm glad to hear this was so helpful for you, Marla! Welcome to the community!
I had severe pain since 2 months which was difficult to endure but pain vanished in 5 minutes.
That's great, Azra! Cheers!
Wow I've had some pain for some time now with my right shoulder, these movements have given me allot of comfort. Thank you for posting this
Cheers Joe! Glad it was helpful!
How do you get such big triceps?
Balanced strength training routine. That's a great topic for a future video. Thanks!
Thank you! Bless you! I haven't been able to do half of the shoulder exercises due to shoulder pain. I thought it was arthritis and that it's just the way things are now. Then I did this routine and two days later the pain is all but negligible!
That's wonderful, Rome! So glad this was helpful for you!
If there's a different shoulder problem that you'd like to see a video about, please leave your suggestion in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
I've had shoulder issues for many years. It comes and goes. The inflammation of the shoulder prevents me from having full mobility and I'm only 41 yrs old. Also, my neck gets tensed and I often feel I have to crack it. (Right shoulder). This video helped quite a bit. Any other stretches or suggestions for me? Thank you very much in advance!
@@andylaz.83 you might not have a different problem than the one already addressed here.. but check with a doctor to make it clear, what type of problem you might have; also look for general exercises for correction of posture and recovering from shoulder impingement, either here or from other creators on the topic, or other trainers outside the yt realm. one name comes to my mind : "Precision movement" channel, might already be in the related videos here..
i had a similar need after injuring my shoulder in my mid 30's (i am 41 as well), i tried those kind of exercises in addition to isometric hanging (activating back, lats.. not necessarily turning it into pull ups movement), you can go gradual at it (not full weight directly), you can start at an accessible angle (helped by you feet), according to how bad is your current state. whatever you try, start with lowest intensity, so you "catch" yourself before doing harm with some weird angle of action...

Exceptional video and am already finding relief by following these exercises.
That's fantastic! Cheers!
I have been hurting for about 2 months did the 3 exercises this morning arm did not hurt none today and just finished another set of exercises hope I wake up with no pain.
That's fantastic, Sandra! Cheers
Thank you Dr. Whitten! I’m suffering from shoulder pain and your exercises are very helpful.
So glad this was helpful for you!
Gobsmacked! you summarised everything that was wrong with me in the first minute or so. I have been telling my Doctors that I thought a lot of the problem was caused by poor body posture. I am elderly, worked in a stooped position for years over a computer, have rounded shoulders with a forward head position and a lack of strength in my upper arms and shoulders. I am diabetic so my tendons are not in best shape anyway. Not one of these exercises has been mentioned to me. I have had this for over 6 months and have difficulty sleeping so I shall definately try these for a couple of months 😀and report back. Thank You
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you, Noel!
I hope this information helps you to move with greater ease.
Hows it going ?
This is great. I've just started it and I can tell it's going to improve my shoulder issues. Thank you! and wow it's like really beautiful to look at doing it ❤
That's wonderful! I'm so glad it's helping!
After following all you TH-camrs advice for years, my right shoulder still the same as hell until I see a acupuncturist. Now my shoulder feels much much better after 5 sessions!
It’s much much more mobilized and much much less pain!
Great to hear!
Just started these tonight after suffering for months now hopefully they work for me 🤞
Hope it's helpful for you, Jimbo!
Thank you for this, these exercises feel amazing, hoping this really helps my shoulders!
You're most welcome, Kevin! Cheers
Day 1, incredibly helpful after a year+ of a shoulder issue!
That's AWESOME!
Instant relief! Wow! I’m in overall very good shape but either slept on my shoulder wrong, or over did something. These exercises restored a good amount of mobility and removed much of the burning pain of the joint. Subscribed-upvoted-notifications
That's fantastic, Flem! Great to hear!
Couldn’t move my right arm forward or to the side at all without excruciating pain, the first exercise helped tremendously after 2 days. At 3 days I’m 80% better, thank you so much for this!!
Glad it helped!
@@painfixprotocol At the time I didn't know if I had shoulder impingement or a torn rotator cuff, I tried exercises in many videos for both. Since this exercise was so affective, I would assume I had impingement and not a torn cuff? Do these exercises not work for torn rotator cuffs as well? Thanks so much again!
I have been suffering sholder pain for more than a week and it kills me, I couldn't do anything and despite the pain I kept going to gym, since Saturday watched many videos and did many exercises and i feel much better. I admit that your exercise helped me too thank you. ❤
I'm so glad you're feeling better and that this video was helpful you!
my shoulder suddenly popped from shooting hoops, i thought the pain would go away but it resurfaced some days after. did what you said and boy it did wonders! thank you for giving out invaluable information to us doc!
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! Cheers!
Dr. Whitten, I had long head muscle tear in my left arm since last year. I've tried all kind of Impingement, shoulder pain exercises in in last 12 months. And I've learned to just live with the pain. I seen a specialist back when it first happened. And he said there was no concern for X - rays or a MRI's. I'll give myself 4 weeks of your exercise a try. I'm hoping for some kind of relief. Thank You, Chris
Sorry to hear of your injury, Chris. The rehab protocol for a muscle tear in the long head of the biceps is very different from a shoulder impingement protocol. If you're still in significant pain, 12 months after the tear - having tried multiple conservative treatment options - then imaging is absolutely warranted (and overdue at this point).
Thank you for the advise Dr. Whitten, Have a safe day. Chris
Excellent! Articulate and to the point. Thank you so much, sir!
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Doc. Your video was very informative and it really works. As being a surfer most of my life and doing construction, I had a bad couple months where I thought I hurt myself. My left shoulder was in pain after a surf and didnt know why. Months went on thinking I might have pulled something but it was something else. After watching your vid I went and started the workout and started keeping a better posture. This made a big difference and I think it was causing the pain. Having a better posture is key. Thanks again Doc!
So glad this was helpful for you, Jay!
Great video, best I have seen for shoulders so far. Love his enthusiasm!
Thank you, Stewart!
This is the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen. Provided immediate relief of pain from impingement in both of my shoulders after the first set. The pain did return later in the day. Hopefully the relief will be long lasting over the next few weeks as I continue to perform these exercises consistently. Question I have is how many times a day should this routine be performed?
So glad it was helpful! The number of times per day will vary from one individual to the next. But I would typically start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no soreness (from the exercises).
presently, I cannot do the third exercise at all! Ill do the first two and work my way up, thank you
You're most welcome, Glenndalf!
Thank you and techniques worked great! Everything released!
So glad it was helpful! Cheers, Stephen!
Thank you for this! Should this be done every day, or how often would be best? Don't want to overdo it, don't want to underdo it.
You're most welcome! The number of times per day will vary from one individual to the next. But I would typically start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no additional soreness/discomfort (from the exercises).
Thank you so much this info. I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain. I will try these exercises for a few weeks and update my comment.
Great! I hope it's helpful for you!
Great information, Yoni. I underwent physical therapy for my shoulders a few years ago, but it didn't seem to effect much. Even after only one round of your exercises, judging solely on how it impacted my shoulders, it appears that your therapy will be more effective. Thank you, sir.
That's fantastic! I'm so glad this video is helpful!
I have this problem,I will keep exercising. Thank you for this. I am a new subscriber.
