I've had a stiff right shoulder when I wake up for years. Every morning I'd try and stretch it out but nothing really worked. I've followed this exercise twice, today and yesterday, and I'd estimate 90% of the stiffness has gone. All it took was following these exercises TWICE!
I am doing the first exercise every morning since I found it two months ago in a different video of yours. VI love it and my neck is less noisy then it used to be. 🤟
Spending a little time in a sauna or hot bath before you do this is incredibly beneficial. Or even putting a heating pad on the problem areas beforehand. Anything to get a little warmth into the muscle will make the exercises more effective.
Initially, I had modified the last arm swing exercise due to an old shoulder injury. I was sort of doing a chicken wing, elbows bent, version. After I followed along every day for a week, I decided to take a chance. I started with a straight, slow controlled arm swing, then I did a full send arm swing without pain for the first time in 10 years. Even after healing and getting out of the sling, I was afraid to test the joint range for years, because of the crunchy clicking noise. It's getting better! I only get some quiet crunchy noises a couple days a week now at the beginning. Now if only I can remember to move my ankles enough that they stop sounding like bubble wrap. Thank you for including the reminders that joints will move smoother with consistent movement. Like, I knew that... but didn't really take it to heart until now. It must get repetitive for you, but you never know who needs to hear it again. So, thanks! On a funny note, I've followed along enough times now that I just do an extra set of yes-nos through the intro and outro. I don't really need to follow along anymore, but I get a reminder of a mobility success when I do.
This is amazing because I think I don’t need to go to physical therapy anymore when I do you program I have no pain afterwards. I actually get pain relief. Thank you so much. You guys are so awesome.
You’re the BESTTTTTT! I have been hurting all weekend with neck tightness, trigger points and vertigo spells from my tight neck/SCM muscles. I feel so much better. Bless you two for your amazing teachings. 🙏❤️
Oh my goodness! I so needed this. After doing this once, my shoulders and neck were tingly but after a second time, my shoulders felt like I just had a massage!
Thank you! I have lupus and a lot of chronic inflammation. My neck and traps are the worst other then my hands. This helped me so much. Using a book bag let me run through this over my lunch at work and it helped. Really, really appreciate it! 🎉
Amazing! I have a super tight neck and shoulders, and I feel like butter after this!!! Hoping this will help with my migraines, as they tend to start as tension in these two areas. So glad I found your channel! I subscribed!! Woot woot! ❤

This is fantastic! I am a hairstylist so I have my arms up all day and I also do aerial arts (silks, trapeze, lyra, etc...) so my shoulders get a lot of use and my neck gets really tight. This will definitely be a go to for me!
Very useful routine. Thank you. Some sites teach you front and back rolls, handstand bailout rolls etc. without any neck warmup or mobility drills. Folks may not have proper tumbling technique, and consequently their heads are impacting the ground and neck and shoulder injuries result. Cheers.
This was super pleasant and relaxing! I have hypermobility or something like that (I can swing my elbows behind my head without pain or effort) and the activation part felt truly wonderful! Hard and my ROM was way way back but wonderful!
😢 I did these a week ago and yesterday I couldn't turn my head or move my left shoulder. I was in bed all day in so much pain. These little movements work. I think it was the movements on the floor that did me in. I went from never stretching to this and now I'm trying to recover. I did the video today but without weight and no floor. Pain is still present but not as bad. Chin up, I know this will be good for me 😊
Takes time to teach your body to relax with movement, it’s good to have a hands on physio appointment for when your neck goes at this stage really! It’s so debilitating!
@@TomMorrison I’m going to have to…I still feel like my shoulder is dislocated although it’s not. Huge knot in my left shoulder blade. I don’t want to go back to chiropractor but someone suggested a masseuse
Been getting carpal tunnel like symptoms for a bit now. After a bit of investigation think the problem is in the sholders and neck. This was an awesome video and your energy is great!
This has helped tremendously; myvtraps and neck were always so tense and creaky since I go to the gym after working in front of a pc. You've earned yourself a new sub, cant wait to check out your other videos to help my creaky body 😅
I have been doing this everyday and add SMM 5 days/week. Nothing a huge difference in moving my neck in so many ways. Thank you! I noticed that my shoulder with the hand holding the weight appears to be higher and then realized this is happening to you and Jenni as well. Why is that? I would think the weight would pull that shoulder down?
First go, and I sound like old floorboards and bubble wrap combined. The dynamic arm circles... Apparently my shoulders don't allow that full rotation at the moment. Saved and ready to go again tomorrow night. I feel opened up.
Please teach us how to do those shoulder blade rolling front and back move in depth i look like a new born onion trying to do that and elbows alwayyys not straight could you be so kind to make a spesific tutorial for that please?this song is for Morrison team Inflames - Swim
Hi Tom I was doing the 7 day video follow along and this one was showing in the sidelines. Last couple day my neck and between shoulder blades been awful so gave it a go. Love the video and the weighted work really helped. One thing I struggle to know if I’m doing right is the shoulder rolls on the floor. Not sure if I can differentiate between forwards and back. It’s also in day 2 of follow along. I’ll keep doing everyday and hopefully it’ll come with practice. Thank you. Am building myself up to doing daily follow slings and putting them all together and then I plan to sign up to SMM program 😃
This was great. I have chronic pain and mobility issues from multiple head and neck traumas. This was so refreshing compared to the same old neck stretches. Loved this and will repeat, as well as likely work my way through your whole neck playlist 😂
Awesome! Thanks so much, our resistance bands muscle activation one is great to do for neck stuff also, make the shoulders happier and it carry’s upstream 🙌
can you do this routine morning/night ore should you wait to once a day? was really crunchy in the beggining but going better all the time, love your channel!
I thought my supporting left arm/shoulder was going to die while I was swinging my right out to the side and back. Right was better. Intend to do this one for Awhile!
Hey Tom, having issues with my left shoulder and the pain is running down my forearm especially when trying to lift something, strange & unusual feeling, concerning me at the min. Any suggestions would be really appreciated Tom.
Yes just one level is quite common so totally fine to move as normal, only if you were having weakness or numbness down an arm would you potentially alter things
Loads of different reasons really, from how the joints are conditioned to ligaments and tendons moving, gas being released. Main thing is to focus on full function and stability and you’ll notice noises happening less and you’ll be less crunchy, it’s not a bad thing, nothing to worry about and really common
This is what I need!!! My neck and shoulders are always so crunchy. Possibly irrelevant, but would I benefit more from this routine in the morning, or after my 8-hour work day (office job, lots of sitting and screen time)?
Hi Tom, i was trying this one for my injured neck, shoulder & pec muscle while i wait for a 1-1 session with you once you're back from Paris. A couple of these are really painful on my injured chest/ pec area when doing the exercise. Should i stop those ones until i see you?

This is my go to when I have really tight neck and upper back muscles after a long day’s work. Just amazing. Thank you!!
This oldschool TV-gym music and new creative streches😂 cool
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS TEACHING!!!
Awesome vid.
Cannot believe your vid had been around for 2yrs. Wish i found you earlier👍👍❤
Ah well, best time to start is now 😁😁💪
Glad you liked it!

You are so welcome! Love to hear that!!!
Even Jenny is amazing. She’s very humble and sweet. You pick the right perfect people for this.
The handweight is such an effective tip. Was used to doing them on a dining chair holding the side for a bit of pull but this is much better.
I come with a painful neck and shoulder and go back laughing watching your funny moves! followed the stretches and feeling better
Awesome! Yes I do love this one! Nothing worse than a stiff neck!
Díky!
Thanks so much!
Felt great :) Thanks for the video.
Thank you Tom and Jenni!!! This really helps!!!
you're welcome!!
True lifesaver!
Thank you. Woke up with such a stiff neck. It feels much better than it was now.
Excellent! Yes these are really good ones to do regularly!
This is amazing because I think I don’t need to go to physical therapy anymore when I do you program I have no pain afterwards. I actually get pain relief. Thank you so much. You guys are so awesome.

Go to a chiropractor. The chiropractor will adjust the bones in your hand and arm.
I have no more issues with carpal tunnel.
Thank you so much really good routine
You're so welcome! 😄
I love your channel and exersices 😍 Thank you for the content
Thank you!!
This was perfect for me this morning. Thank you. These videos are always fun to watch, but I'm now startin to try them. Game changer
Awesome! Yes I love this one and the beginner hip one too if I’m banged up from training 😄
I freaking love you guys!
We love you too!
Excellent!
Excelente video
Started this 2 weeks ago. Did it every 2 to 3 days..instance tension release. Add this to the 10mins warm up! The 40s man is less creaky
This has helped tremendously; myvtraps and neck were always so tense and creaky since I go to the gym after working in front of a pc. You've earned yourself a new sub, cant wait to check out your other videos to help my creaky body 😅

Depends how you lean the head away, makes it easier for the other side to go lower
First go, and I sound like old floorboards and bubble wrap combined. The dynamic arm circles... Apparently my shoulders don't allow that full rotation at the moment. Saved and ready to go again tomorrow night. I feel opened up.
Awesome! Yes running through this a few times you’ll notice weird noises and crunches lessen
Any videos or ideas for a forward neck posture?
We do indeed!

Search our shoulders playlist, they’re called shoulder rotations in it 😄
Can I follow this along if I have some cervical radiculopathy?
Try reduced ranges and only half at first to see how it feels, if unsure ask your physio
@@TomMorrison Thank you!
Took my kids to Ninja Warrior yesterday, couldn't resist joining in, but sweet lord my traps are feeling it today. This has helped loads, thank you ❤️
Awesome!!!

It would be great to combine this one with Jennis 26 minute shoulder follow along too!! 😄
Time to try this. My shoulders hurt so much and the chiropractor only helped some. It is def the muscle tightness. Thank you for this.
This is a good one to do a couple of times per week!
Need this. Your timing is perfect! How often is "regularly"?
Twice a week would be great long long term but if you’re traps are giving you bother then you could hit it 4/5 times a week initially
@@TomMorrison Thank you so much.
unreal! thank you!
Great vid!
Thankyou!!
Thank you Tom,
My left shoulder is torn i think, so this will help. And my neck is rock hard, so I will definitely be doing these regular
Ouch! Definitely get some hands on treatment too! Want to look after that as much as possible!
Awesome!
Love it!

Bulging disc c6-7. Ok to do this?
Yes just one level is quite common so totally fine to move as normal, only if you were having weakness or numbness down an arm would you potentially alter things
i typically do the yeses once a week but never thought of doing the NOs with that prestretch and i could HEAR THE CRUNCHIES doin the NOs
oo yeah soo goooood!
After weighted shoulder rotations backwards, I now have a series of clicks when rotating my right shoulder.
Otherwise great series
Keep working at them, it should rectify itself as you get more control with the movement
I’m finding it really hard to get to grips with being able to do the shoulder rotations! Any tips?
Just put 5 minutes into them every day! Really common to see that so don’t worry, it’s all practice!

What causes the crunching? Fascia?
Loads of different reasons really, from how the joints are conditioned to ligaments and tendons moving, gas being released. Main thing is to focus on full function and stability and you’ll notice noises happening less and you’ll be less crunchy, it’s not a bad thing, nothing to worry about and really common

Ouch! Yes don’t push the lateral stretches too far the first few times but hopefully this will be great for you if you keep it up regularly!! 🙌

yeah definitely either reduce the range of motion or skip them for now! It'll be better to assess that when I see you!
If I do these daily, when will I begin to feel relief?
Few weeks you should start to notice something changing
What is the crunchy and grinding sound?
This is a good blog on it

What is the crunching??
You are so funny Tom!
I do try 😎 🤣🤣
Snap , crackle and pop!
You’re not old! You’re crispy! 😎 haha, make sure to do it a few times per week for a good while until it gets less noisy 💪🏼💪🏼
"Oh hey!"
Tom, breaking the fourth wall like it's not even there.
I think I'm going to become addicted to these vids.
Just wait till I figure out how to climb through your phone screen! 😂
Ha ha! It was as though you could hear my neck sounding like a nutcracker. Video saved.
It will reduce the more you do it 😄
Anyone else get a “pop” sound while doing this? Not a crunch or click, but a pop?
I just need some piece of mind
Pops and clicks are normal, we have a good blog on tommorrison.uk on it 😄
