![3 Keys to Rehab a Rotator Cuff Tear & AVOID Surgery [UNIQUE EXERCISES]](/img/1.gif)
That's exactly what I'm experiencing.I can bend one arm behind my back with no problem but can't with the other arm.
You two are awesome. Stress reduction from this was immediate too! Thank you for the education!
I searched about shoulder pain and landed on your RUclips “Shoulder Pain exercise” which helped me get a shoulder pain relief after exercising following your instructions just once. Thank you for this free online help. My plan to schedule an orthopedic provider is on hold. “Go Vikings”
Getahun Asnake how did it turn out for you? Random, I’m in Minnesota myself. Hope you’re feeling better.
I've been pulling trolley loads of shopping home for years, because I live in a small village and don't drive. Now I'm going to have to review that mode of getting my groceries done. Home delivery sounds like the best solution My arms hurt most when I'm putting a coat on or taking it off. I have to do it like I'm a doll from the 1960's that can't bend it's arms. Highly ungainly! :) I'm 56, so I don't want to push my luck. I'll put your advice into action. Thank you!
Maggie, I'm in the same situation like you! Years of pulling family's grocery uphill and even carry heavy bags on shoulder. Now I really regret. My right should is slightly out of position and every morning wake up in pain. Lucky to know the reason and find the right excercise for it. Wish you getting better!
My heart sank when you said you don't recommend military presses, because for years I used to get up every morning and do handstand push ups against the wall which is basically the same thing. It worked the shoulders and arms and even the abs because I had to tighten up the core muscles to keep my balance. Well, about a year ago I started feeling so much pain and weakness in my left shoulder that I had to quit and it has never really healed. Thought maybe I tore a muscle because that shoulder joint has a bony part that sticks out now whereas the other side seems to stick out less/have more muscle attached. I don't have noticeable pain unless I extend the arm out fully and try to push against something or if I reach across my body, especially over shoulder height. Then I can really feel weakness and pain. I notice it's much harder for me to dribble a basketball with that hand than it used to be. Kind of depressed because now I've even had to cut way back on pushups because I'm starting to get pain in the shoulder and tingling running down my arm through my pinky. Also feeling pain along the inner edge of the shoulder blades and noticeable winging. Not sure at this point what exercises to do because there is so much contradictory advice on the web. I'm 45 and I guess I probably need to bite the bullet and go see a physical therapist.
Like no lie.its like as if you just explained All of my symptoms. Now I'm scared to watch the damn video. what happened with your shoulder? How is it now
yeah lemme know I have exact same symptoms
I have the same problem when reaching back and the boni part on top of my left shoulder hurts I believe due to weight lifting and I am very sad cause I also quit and I am starting to loose muscles. But seems to me you have a torn muscle shoulder cause your pain extended it. Did you go for surgery?😅😅😅
Overhead work. Oh yes one you might not even know of but probably the cause of my problems. Collecting evergreens for grave blanket making. You two are fun together, thank you for offering your knowledge to the world.
HAH! Yep! I've reaally done a number on my shoulder. I badly tweaked my shoulder getting off a dips bar. Injured it more by doing military press, then more by playing football (Soc) in goal. Neck pain, shoulder pain, trouble sleeping. It's been absolutely awful. Finally starting to get a grip with a load of exercises and rehab. Should have started doing this 2 years ago when it started getting really bad, probably due to Body Pump.
35 Y/o. Sensing the distant approach of the ice-cold hand of the reaper.
you guys are the coolest nerdiest dads ever and you make me want to become a physical therapist. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you provide on this channel!
I love you guys...I hurt my shoulder putting up curtains last year....at this time I was newly diagnosed with gout..my regular dr did an X-ray and told me nothing is wrong and that my bra was causing my pain and I should lose weight, well I have already lost almost 100lbs and have about 50lbs to go....anyway fast forward a year, pain is horrible, cant brush my hair (left side), put on my seat belt, and last night went to hold a remote and my shoulder locked with pain....I think its time to get a new dr ...I failed all your test with my bad shoulder...sigh....thank you!
Awesome video guys thanks. Also pretty pumped about the Red Green reference at the end haha.
You guys are the best; thank you for your help!
You guys are awesome !!!and make me smile😂😂my Calcified Bursitis causes me a lot of grief during the night, usually when I roll over in the night, I have to hold my arm up and turn over...yikkkkes!! The pain almost sends me through the roof!! so I'm very thankful for the pillow techniques.😉
My injury was from 'over-head' pruning, which I did all day long, it wasn't until I went for my night shower that my shoulder locked up completely with excruciating pain.😣
As a Physio,
I can testify that you bring a sound clinical advise.
love you guys!
Regarding the Drop arm, I always saw from 90 degree down, as the Deltoid play less importance in that range.
Napoleon Bone-apart?!
Bravo.
Two amazing educators.
I feel off my bike about two months ago and my right shoulder is still causing pain. I feel on the right shoulder. After the accident I couldn't lift my arm almost at all now I can lift it with weight. But it still is a little pinch. I'm going to work on the stretches and strengthening. I couldnt strecth at all. And I do sleep on that side but not for the past few months. I've had an X-ray just to see if it was broken. Nothing was broken thank God. I'm lucky I had a helmet on. Anyway neck and shoulder pain. Thanks Bob and Brad.
Lateral raises in the gym did me. In a complete mess from one workout. Stay well clear.
good video, I've been getting alot of shoulder pain alot lately
I love the intro
Hi Bob and Brad. You are my HEROES. 2009 I busted my shoulder lifting two 35kg dumbells. The 'crunch!' was audible in the room. I had it operated on and the shoulder was never the same since. 2 months ago, I found you online and realised it was a shoulder impingement. I performed your shoulder 'crunches' to the rear and the next day I could bring my arm up above my shoulder without going around in a big arc. Wow! Two months later, after daily shoulder crunches and your other exercise of push-ups (and push down) on the top of counters/chairs or weight racks, I'm at least 85% 'normal' and improving daily. Before I found you, I could not take off a tight 'T' shirt on my own. Now it's a breeze. I'm 65 and feeling better than I have felt in a decade. I'm lifting heavier again (carefully) and getting back some of my upper body strength and size. My hips I thought were worn out as I'd feel a grinding. Now I 'get' it's impingement there too and fixing that with your kneel on the floor and lunge forward exercise. Already 40% better. Your reputation and 20 million views are well deserved. I live in Singapore (formerly from Minnesota) but found you online in Singapore. Like James Bond, "Your reputation proceeds you, Mr Brad and Mr Bob." God bless you, gentlemen. I've shared you with others as well.
Thank you both for helping, teaching. .It is much appreciated. .Blessing to you both. ..
Thanks both of you...your video is really very helpful
Very helpful! You should be on NPR like the car guys.
Glad that we could help! That would be cool:)
I love watching you guys. I was just wondering if there are videos in your channel describing differences between rotator cuff tears and tendonitis?
Great video! Bad enough that my lower body is knackered, I'm now struggling to wash my hair etc. I did your recommendation of ibuprofen last month and it did help but now it's flared up again so I suspect there's more damage there, lucky me! Thanks for the video 😊😊😊😊
The dry humor and 90s vibe is my life 👏🏼
If you lose your arm obviously that’s a sign 😆
Thank you:) You must have a good sense of humor!
32 years of sorting mail (holding the weight of a bundle of magazines or newspapers 50+ hours a week) has left me with a painful, loud popping shoulder. Will be getting more pillows today!!
Over head pressing in the scapular plain is actually good for the shoulder because your strengthening the upward rotation of the scapula preventing it from becoming downwardly rotated. A downwardly rotated scapula will cause impingement. But you cant just start doing it when you're scapula is already downwardly rotated you have to start training the upward rotators separately and trying to progress on the dead hang first.
Awesome video; loved the light humor.
Thanks guys. I have shoulder pain all of a sudden left shoulder. I have been doing stretches everyday. Some days I feel ok. Others I have to work with it. I done an arm hang on a bar. Along with heating pad on and off yesterday. Feels better. I do have trouble reaching behind my back and seeing how far I can go. It's not easy. Hopefully I can manage this without surgery. I'm on lots of vitamins. The top of my shoulders is bony. Otherwise I'm in great shape for 53.
Can you do a video explaining eccentric exercises in healing tendinoses? I've read how effective they are in healing chronic tendon problems but could use more clarification.
Thank you both. 😊
Oh my word. Reaching into the backseat to grab my oversized (and overstuffed) bag is where my whole problem started. Ugg.
I use 1 lb weight to do the rotator cuff exercises in the prone position to keep it healthy doing y, t's and i's
How do you know if it's impingement or osteoarthritis? What do you do for it?
I enjoy your work, guys. Thanks.
Some of these symptoms seem similar to 'frozen shoulder' (adhesive capsulitis). How can I distinguish between the two? Is the Dr. Kirsch hanging therapy (mentioned in one of your earlier videos) necessarily effective for both of these conditions?
should you use soft pillows, medium or firm for head /neck , to support the bad shoulder when your not laying on it? what's the best pillow for neck and shoulder pain?
Thank you so much for this sound advice. I've been suffering for 5 months and finally feel some hope thanks to your recommendations. Much appreciated!
Great Video - All of your points are Bang On, as a result I accept all your wise advise with sincere Thank you!
I never thought about using extra pillows!
Y'all are ADORABLE!
Love, love your videos!!!!!
I'm a grocery stocker (overhead! heavy stuff!) who's been sleeping poorly on my arm lately. What does it mean that a shoulder hurts very badly in the morning, almost not at all during the day, and a bit at night? It's so regular like this lately.
26 year old, shoulder dislocation which caused a torn Labrum about 15 years ago. Cannot straitened arm to the side and raise it up above shoulder level. Experiencing new pain which is starting to question my rotator cuff. Just looking for advice before getting checked out. Thank you
Thanks, great advice. I have impingement symptoms after that action you described (reaching behind you), actually caused by carrying golf clubs, reaching back to put my second arm into the carry straps and shrugging the bag onto my shoulder, if that makes sense. The (impingement symptoms?) however, only occur intermittently, as though it sometimes locks, especially when externally rotating the shoulder (washing my hair etc). Are exercises to strengthen the muscles - with bands etc, likely to help?
At work I used to lift clothing from racks I had to stretch to reach and pull up from the bottom of the hanger. We had to be fast and we would lift 30-50 lbs at a time to put away, sometimes lifting them back up to put away on the sales floor. I ground up my rotator cuff doing this for 10 years on my left shoulder. Yesterday I tried to pull my 65 lb puppy inside and her didn’t want in. He pushed while I pulled. Well I also turned 40 this year. I heard a snap and got sudden pain and ever since I cannot lift the arm unless I bend at the elbow. I think I tore it partially. I work at a desk job now. It just looks like there is nothing I can do for prevention. What a drag it is getting old! I know Red Green too!
Such a beautiful video
You two guys are too funny nut also wonderful. Keep up the good work and your sense of humor.Lord knows we need it these dayd
Love you both u are amazing God bless you both!!!
Dear Bod and Brad, Why did all your videos stop streaming ten days ago? I miss you. And my should pain is getting worse.
what's a good alternative to the shoulder press please?
Nice video... keep up the good work 👍
Hello, I've just found these very interesting videos. You both mentioned some exercises NOT to do, but what about swimming, either breast-stroke or front crawl? Thanks chaps!
Oh yeah. Great music.
Is this an injury that goes away with time if you support the shoulder and not stress it for a while? Ive been dealing with this for months. I do believe I reached back and injured it but its been a few months now and even sleeping on it is bad. Ill try the pillows for sure.
You guys are the best :)
I’m 14 and have a rotated cuff and it makes me feel really horrible when they say that it normally happens with older people but because I have hyper mobility syndrome it happens to me like I have broken my fibula because of hyper mobility and I have dislocated my knee by *BENDING* my knee while sitting down
i am loving your theme music hehe ;) thank you for the help!
I did a lot of shoulder presses in my life and I sleep on my shoulder a lot. My shoulder hurts when my arm is straight overhead and throwing a ball is brutally painful.
I love your thyme song
How do you tell this from frozen shoulder? They both look like they effect the arm the same way
If an MRI shows tendinosis of the rotator cuff can that lead to a tear? What's the difference in the pain
What is ur exercises and physio recommendations for this problem
I am a dancer and do a lot of overhead arm movement to manipulate a veil and other props e.g. sword. This is a bummer.
‘’Should I wait to last minute to get surgery or get it done as soon as possible.
I can overhead press & incline without issue, but flat benching bothered the top of my shoulder blade area above the collar bone. Tell me, how can I possibly do overhead press, a tougher exercise than bench press without pain? I can reach my left hand behind my back easily, but right side is much harder. I quit flat benching & am getting healthier I think. Pretty sure I have poor mobility compared to left side.
phenomenal video guys! I have a small tear of labrum its a posterior labrum tear, did PT for it felt real good, but I'll have days where it feels worse than others pain wise. How often should I do my PT own my own here at home, for instance every other day? Thanks
alright, gonna start sleeping on my right, hope my left shoulder can still heal
I think i have impingement in both shoulders but have back issues too. How should I sleep to help heal these?
Everything that you guys are saying that's what I have in my left shoulder are there any kind of exercises I could do to try to free this up I do have a problem with ligaments and stuff can you help me in any way
Yep, this pretty much sums up my shoulder pain. I have a rotator cuff tear, in 2 places, since last year. Therapy helped but now in lots of pain. Waiting to see my orthopedic doc in 2 weeks. Til then, is heat or cold better at relieving my shoulder pain?
Cold!
Is there any causes of lower back pain with numbness and weakness radiating to lower leg other than a herniated or bulging disc??
can you guys do a video on thoracic nerve damage. or winged scapula
You guys doing so well keep going and I have one question my right shoulders hurts when I stretch wide this is Happened after i joined gym latter i went physiotherapist and i followed the instructions and stop gym for next 5 weeks pain 80%reduced. now but still it hurts on some hands move like stretching wider and up need your suggestion
The acromioclavicular ligament in both shoulders is hypertrophied. What exercise can I do to avoid that and heal it?
I love you guys. You are hilarious 😂
I have been doing PT for my shoulder for awhile now, but still am having a hard time reaching behind my back (like into a back pocket). What do you suggest as a good exercise for this?
Thank you.
Did someone answer you? I have the same problem.
A lovely couple.
Do you all recommend incline barbell bench press
I have been implementing the pillow technique recently and my shoulder feels much better. I am currently strengthening the rotator cuff and i'm wondering is it possible to avoid most overhead injuries or wear and tear if i can make the area strong enough?
I did something to my left shoulder like over a year ago. Really sharp pain on the very top, what feels like on the bone. Now I can finally do shoulder presses again, but can't do any chest exercises. Literally haven't worked my chest in over a year.
One day it feels good and I try to even just do some push ups but the pain gets to be too much, right away. And then its sore for the next cpl days. Feels like it's been pulled forward. Super frustrating 😢
No disrespect, I subbed and watch your vids but Brad why have you not used your techniques to fix your shoulder issue? Thanks for the vids!
He says he does not have shoulder problems. I think he was just saying, "I can move this arm to the small of my back but this one, the right side to the belt," is what he hears from patients.
Hello bob and brad, when i pull on my right arm it actually hurts inside the joint or the muscle. Any ideas? My chiropractor said it was impinging syndrome but i dont know...
Do you have suggestions for the wall handstand and handstand push-ups? Is it something you’d recommend against since it’s similar to the military press?
I wish I would’ve seen this earlier myself. I feel like I could check the boxes and do many of the thing in this video to get a tear. I hope I can prevent one on my other shoulder since I do have a tear in the one already and having similar warning signs in the other now. 🤦🏽♂️
I hope everyone feels better and can be as comfortable as possible in their bodies. Adjusting and doing what we all need to live happily. Speedy recovery to anyone reading this.
Do you have any advice for PT exercises in my home d/t a torn labrum?
How to prevent tearing rotator cuff?
You guys are so funny! Hey, I've had a "crunchy" shoulder for years. It has been hurting a lot for the past few months now. It hurts to sleep in my favorite position. I've been putting muscle rub on it everyday but it still hurts. Am I on the way to a rotator cuff tear?
i've been lifting for more than 2 years now and last month my left shoulder started paining, it only used to pain when i lift my arm above my head, it was kind of a shock. but now that pain is gone but i am experiencing pain even when i'm resting. and sometimes it goes to my arm or even palm of my hand. can you please explain what it could be? does labrum tear causes pain in arm or hand?
How much does this surgery cost?
thx
My shoulder hurts and feels like giving in if somebody pushes my hands inwards but I dont get pain at all when I raise my arm above head , I feel and hear the clicking when I raise sideways but feel more pain when raising a dumbell forward than when I do sideways , anyone that can hhelp me?
Just wondering about some advice - I hurt my shoulder by just turning over in bed, and was in just about screaming agony for several days. Pain going from shoulder down to hand. Couldn't move my arm more than an inch or so. Had an ultrasound which showed 2 big tears and lots of inflamation and other bits and pieces wrong in the shoulder. 2 docs said surgery was going to be the best option. Then had cortisone injection, and strong anti-inflamatories, and now it seems PERFECT! I just can't see how it can go from terrible to almost normal in a week - can the ultrasound have been wrong? Could it have been pinched nerve pain? THANKS for your wonderful videos! :)
It was a box. An evil cardboard box did it. The cat sleeps inside my arm where you put the pillow but still not working. I do have a therapist and I'm trying to be optimistic about it...
How would a bodybuilder safely develop their shoulder muscles??? It seems as if there is no safe shoulder workout :(
Great video. Wish I'd seen this a few months ago. So, after a rotator cuff tear what strengthening exercises are recommended?
Thank you so much! ♥♥

Why you make me laugh when I’m sore as fuck? 😂😂
wow i wish id seen this before man. deff the motion you did ia when my shoulder just went to crap

I have that exact issue please tell me what to do :'(
When i put my right arm behind my back i can not lift it any higher than my lower back... My left arm can go higher than middle of my back..
Like me
Hi Drs, My problem is with my right shoulder and I can not lift anything. I can not lift my purse and I can not hold very much weight with my right arm and shoulder. I have pain all the way down my right arm and into my right hand. I can hold my purse with my right arm if I keep my arm at my side and straight but when I try to lift my arm while holding my purse to put the purse on the island or whatever that's when I cry out. I have to hold my right arm across my chest to keep it from hurting so badly. This has been going on for 5 months now. I have been doing the exercises with the bands on the door handle but I haven't been able to graduate away from the bands. I have been doing the exercises for about a month now. I'm a veteran and VA hasn't been very fast about getting me in with a physical therapist so I'm trying to help myself and alleviate the pain. What do y'all suggest that I do now? I will appreciate any instruction that y'all can provide. Thank you. ~Barbara
Definitely "behind the neck press" is a no go.
