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
This is a huge encouragement! I got shoulder pain cause of pressing exercises on gym. I haven't touched a weight for the past month but the pain doesnt go away. Just did the exercises and felt instant relief. The most useful one was the one where you extend your hands behind your head. I hope I'll be saved too.
@@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 !
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
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.
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.
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.
I have had shoulder impingement about a year and I've been doing all kind of streches and workouts just like these in this video. But what really helped me, was actually massaging the tendon in front on my shoulder. Finding the really soar spot on the front shoulder and massaging and mobilizing it for about 2 weeks. And my shoulder is painfree now 😀
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.
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!!
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!
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 👍🙏
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much ❤ for creating this video. My neck and shoulder pain have significantly affected my quality of life. I’ve seen specialists in orthopedics, neurology, physical therapy, and dentistry due to my shoulder and neck issues, but everyone seems to be guessing-diagnosing things like TMJ disorder, trigeminal nerve problems, etc. This has cost me a fortune. You are the only one who has provided a detailed explanation of my possible issues in language I can understand, rather than using complex terminology that requires medical training. Thank you! I feel like my old self again. God bless you.
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.
One month ago went to the hospital with chronic pain in my right shoulder totally frozen ,pain all the way down my hand leaving numb. Was diagnosed with chronic calcific tendinitis told that the pain could last up to 6 weeks and 12 to 18 months of recovery 😢refusing to take narcotics and any injections that would solve the problem anyway started to look on TH-cam on what could be helpful.if found many videos but this one was the one that got my attention, I immediately started my journey doing this exercise daily. Only 30 days later I’m pain free totally recovered all mouvements in my shoulder 😊thank you for sharing your knowledge with us greatly appreciate
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 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
With 20 years as a carpenter, 30 years as a rural mail carrier, a neck dissection, and torn rotator cuffs with detached long bicep tendon and overstretched supraspinatus tendons, I exhibit all the characteristics you demonstrated with shoulders that are pretty much worn out. I've spent the last 2 years trying to correct it without much success, but your video offers me hope. I may never recover fully, but I could sure appreciate lifting my arms without all the pain. I'll be starting today, and let you know my progress. Thank you!
Cheers, Tony! I hope this is helpful for you. There's a bunch of other information in my Shoulder Playlist that may be useful with your situation - th-cam.com/play/PL1rO7vW04HUBscJklj1g7Ji-gz8a1Dllu.html
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 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!
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
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
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
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!
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!
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!!
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.
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...
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
i just tested this with a few grocery bags rolled up. i could feel decent relief just from that. i’ll pick up a band or two and do this for a bit. Thanks for lookin out.
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
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 👍
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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……
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'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...
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
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!
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!
Thanks Doc. I like the first 2 exercises, but the 3rd one was virtually impossible for me to get my hands even behind my head. Any suggestions? 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!
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
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).
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 always seem to hurt my shoulder when doing pushups... Tried another work out last week and had shoulder pain the day after. I watched this video and realized how bad my posture was. When stranded up normally the tops of my hands were facing forward. I did one work out, even without a resistance band because I don't have any in the house, and my posture was immediately better. I will try this out for the next few weeks and see if I can finally ease my chronic shoulder pain.
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 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
Mate, I've been in pain every day for 4 years because of my shoulder ( rotator cuff) injury.

I’ve seen specialists in orthopedics, neurology, physical therapy, and dentistry due to my shoulder and neck issues, but everyone seems to be guessing-diagnosing things like TMJ disorder, trigeminal nerve problems, etc. This has cost me a fortune. You are the only one who has provided a detailed explanation of my possible issues in language I can understand, rather than using complex terminology that requires medical training. Thank you! I feel like my old self again. God bless you.
That's AWESOME! I'm so happy this video helped you to feel better!
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.
That's FANTASTIC! So glad to hear it!
One month ago went to the hospital with chronic pain in my right shoulder totally frozen ,pain all the way down my hand leaving numb. Was diagnosed with chronic calcific tendinitis told that the pain could last up to 6 weeks and 12 to 18 months of recovery 😢refusing to take narcotics and any injections that would solve the problem anyway started to look on TH-cam on what could be helpful.if found many videos but this one was the one that got my attention, I immediately started my journey doing this exercise daily. Only 30 days later I’m pain free totally recovered all mouvements in my shoulder 😊thank you for sharing your knowledge with us greatly appreciate
That's awesome, Josee! So happy to hear about your recovery!
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 🙏🏻
That's FANTASTIC, Paul! I'm glad it helped!
THANK YOU!! After just ONE set of each stretch my shoulder feels a lot better! 👏
Glad to hear it, Jake! Cheers
The introduction stole the show. What a way of starting a lesson! Thank you doctor. What starts so well ends so well too.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely spot on, so happy I found this video. Helped my shoulder pain and mobility, this is now part of my morning routine.
That's AWESOME, Steven! Glad it's helping 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.
This is awesome, Ginger! Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love hearing stories like this - you made my day!
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!

With 20 years as a carpenter, 30 years as a rural mail carrier, a neck dissection, and torn rotator cuffs with detached long bicep tendon and overstretched supraspinatus tendons, I exhibit all the characteristics you demonstrated with shoulders that are pretty much worn out. I've spent the last 2 years trying to correct it without much success, but your video offers me hope. I may never recover fully, but I could sure appreciate lifting my arms without all the pain. I'll be starting today, and let you know my progress. Thank you!
Cheers, Tony! I hope this is helpful for you.
There's a bunch of other information in my Shoulder Playlist that may be useful with your situation - th-cam.com/play/PL1rO7vW04HUBscJklj1g7Ji-gz8a1Dllu.html
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!
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 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!
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
Cheers Rob! That's fantastic to hear!
keep it simple - what an amazing program , thank you for sharing
Thanks very much, Pam! Cheers!
Thanks. This simple 3-step strategy feels good and gives relief.
So glad it's helping, Griegg!!
This REALLY helped out my shoulder. Big thanks for putting this video out there for people like me.
Cheers, Zachary! Glad it helped!
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!
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
Much appreciated, Mr. Fishsnake!
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!
You're most welcome!
The intro to this video perfectly describes all my symptoms!
Cheers, Sara!
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!
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!
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.
That's FANTASTIC! So glad this was helpful!
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...
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
That's AWESOME! Great to hear!
Very good, thank you for sharing your precious knowledge about this problem
Glad it was helpful, Ada!
i just tested this with a few grocery bags rolled up.
i could feel decent relief just from that.
i’ll pick up a band or two and do this for a bit.
Thanks for lookin out.
You're most welcome!
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!
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!
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?
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!
Another adding thanks and appreciation - right shoulder has been hurting for several months. Will try these.
I hope they're helpful for you, Candleflower!
Within two days, there is a significant improvement in pain and mobility. Thank You!!!
Glad to hear it, Mr. Cox!
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!
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!
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!
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!
GOD BLESS THIS GUY
Many thanks!
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!
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……
Excellent! Articulate and to the point. Thank you so much, sir!
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed it!
That is an excellent video. Thank you so much.
Much appreciated, Sheehan!
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!
Thanks so much! Your videos are very helpful.❤
You're welcome! I'm so glad you're benefiting from them!
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 ?
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 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!
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...

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
I had severe pain since 2 months which was difficult to endure but pain vanished in 5 minutes.
That's great, Azra! Cheers!
Thank you and techniques worked great! Everything released!
So glad it was helpful! Cheers, Stephen!
How do you get such big triceps?
Balanced strength training routine. That's a great topic for a future video. Thanks!
Thank you , I felt an instant relief.
FANTASTIC! Glad to hear it!
I swear there was a moment I thought his head did a 180° spin😁
Nope - head's still attached 😂
😂
This works. You are a genius.
Thank you.
Many thanks! Glad it helped 👍
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
Do you have all of these exercises on DVD. I'd buy it.
Thanks for your suggestion! I plan on creating a much more extensive shoulder program in the near future.
@@painfixprotocol Can you keep an old/60 Marine on the list if you create a DVD Please. Still dirt bike riding and weightlifting with my son.
Great explanations
Glad you liked it!
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!
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!
Exceptional video and am already finding relief by following these exercises.
That's fantastic! Cheers!
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!
Thanks Doc. I like the first 2 exercises, but the 3rd one was virtually impossible for me to get my hands even behind my head. Any suggestions? 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!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed this!
Hi Dr Yoni great pain relief video.What is your opinion on dead hangs for shoulder impingement.
Wow,I love that,am also in post stroke
That's fantastic! So happy to hear it!
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!
Great video, best I have seen for shoulders so far. Love his enthusiasm!
Thank you, Stewart!
I wonder when I see the comment.all sicks my illness.even me sick my left shoulder for 5 months ago.thnk you dr
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
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!
I always seem to hurt my shoulder when doing pushups... Tried another work out last week and had shoulder pain the day after. I watched this video and realized how bad my posture was. When stranded up normally the tops of my hands were facing forward. I did one work out, even without a resistance band because I don't have any in the house, and my posture was immediately better. I will try this out for the next few weeks and see if I can finally ease my chronic shoulder pain.
That's fantastic! I'm so glad this is helping 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
Cheers, Spike! I'm so glad this was helpful for you!
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!
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
