I’m at just under 12 mos from when mine froze. It was a journey I’d never like to take again. My PT suggested your videos when I asked to do PT at home. Bravo gentleman and thank you for your help.
Ended up with frozen shoulder years back. It was corrected with 10 daily acupuncture treatments while in China. Never had a problem with it after that.
Diagnosed in Feb 2020. Took 2 years to completely heal. No PT available in the beginning because of Covid. Found your videos and did my own PT. Thanks for helping me
I've had frozen shoulder 3 times and found a doctor that does "Manipulation under anesthesia" This is non surgery procedure. This is an ultrasound guided intra-articular hydrodilatation followed by manipulation of the shoulder under conscious sedation. The range of motion releases the adhesions. After the procedure I did PT for only 1 month and it was good as new. I would highly recommend this but you will need to find a doctor that specializes in hydrodilatation of the shoulder. I currently do shoulder stretches and dead hangs 3-4 days a week to keep it from coming back.
Thank you, guys! I have a frozen ahoulder right now. Im also hypermobile, so healing is challenging and slow. I had wrist surgery with a block 4/4, and that prompted the shoulder freeze. Im in PT. I have found the pully system helpful at home. Im also using a cane to do what you did with the stick. Im also practing a salute movement on my own. Im 63. This has been one of the most challenging events of my life. Soooo painful.
I had it first in my left shoulder. Excruciating pain. PT said it was one of the worst she had seen. After almost a year of PT, referred to surgeon for manipulation. Then, about 3 years later, it started in the other shoulder, and started PT at beginning phase. After realizing adhesive capsilits (Frozen shoulder) could be autoimmune, I immediately cut out gluten. The frozen shoulder did not progress, and I was able to stop PT after several weeks! I have remained gluten free since then.
It’s 1:30am in Australia, I’m awake with a frozen shoulder as I can’t sleep with it as it hurts quite a lot. I’ve had it 4 weeks now to which came out of no where. I care full time for my disabled son so it’s quite difficult right now and daunting how long it shall take to get better. :( I’ll purchase a pulley system on Amazon now. Thank you kindly for this information, Gentlemen I appreciate you! X
See if there's someone who performs ultrasound guided hydradialation near to you. If not, an orthopedic specialist, who performs steroid injections, can also make up the "recipe" and give it to you slowly, but needs to be guided. Also, a TENS unit helps with the pain. It only works while you've got it on, though.. These are the things I wish I'd have known sooner when I had my FS last year. The "hydradialation" stopped it within three days. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
@@circa1890 Thank you kindly for your comment. I’m really happy for you it worked out for you, that’s really fantastic. May I ask what stage you were in when you had the injection? I have tried a TENS machine to no relief as I am still in the frozen stage unfortunately. I am hesitant to have guided hydradialarion as my physician advised me it’s a 50/50 chance it will work, the pain could also be worse thereafter if not successful for a while as the area is irritated. I’ve been having physio yet stopped as I can do the exercises at home based on instructions here and my physician who turned me to the exercises on this channel prior to the new upload. I am also part of Frozen Shoulder groups and they’ve echoed my physicians advice. I hope you never experience frozen shoulder ever again! Take good care.
I've been having trouble with my shoulder for several months now. I will try these exercises...thanks for showing them. And thanks for letting us wave at Bob! 💕
PT here, learned that you have to wait it out during school. But I had frozen shoulder last April following a very minor nerve traction injury. Went to PT for months without any improvement with my range. My frozen shoulder was atypical in that it was not painful, just limited ROM. Sports Med doc saw me and did fluoroscopic to diagnose frozen shoulder, then suggested injection of primarily saline with some lidocaine with the focus trying to loosen the capsule as much as possible. Prior to the injection my best shoulder abduction was 90, right after the injection I had 120, and within a week I had 150 and within 4 weeks I had full abduction range. Hopefully this will be a good example for other patients in my particular situation. I still have minor discomfort if I lay on that shoulder in a certain way and I don't have my full shoulder external rotation actively (but I do have it passively). My Sports Med doctor said that she learned that at a conference the year before so it might still be pretty unknown method. I was using pulley daily without any improvement.
I had a Rotater Cuff injury in February this year. I have not bad mobility in it , but it still gets painful. I am going to try these exercises - thank you!!
Thank you so much for explaing and showing the remedy! Currently I have frozen shoulder in left side, I am doing PT, it's helping. I learn new stick excercise which I will incorporate in my ecxcercises. I am also doing energy healing in my shoulder. Good Luck to everyone and wishing speedy recovery!!
Thank you, thank you thank you. Finally some thing I can see that I really can do and be consistent in. Thank you. It would mean a lot to live without this nagging pain.
I had a frozen shoulder a few years ago. It was really painful at the time and seemed to last forever. I recovered completely and strangely now I can barely remember it. It's only seeing this video that reminded me! Good luck to anyone suffering XX 💗
@@dreamin_the_dream it's really quite incredible that I don't remember it because it was so inconvenient for so long! I think I did a combination of exercises and massage. Hope you get full mobility back soon .
I’m glad you said this, I barely remember when I had frozen shoulder. I didn’t know until I went for treatment for another concern. These days I just try to keep moving my joints.
Thank you for covering this topic. I had frozen shoulder years ago when I was in my mid 40’s. It was extremely painful. Someone asked me what it felt like and I’ll never forget my response because the pain, which mainly came at night was so intense. It felt like someone held a strand of barbed wire over an open fire until it was red hot, then wrapped it around my capsule and pulled it tight. I was absolutely suffering. Unable to sleep, leading to impaired mental function during the day, leading to anxiety and distress over months and having to go on leave for my work as an RN. After PT for months my shoulder mobility was severely impaired still and I opted for surgery over the unknown time frame for the unfreezing process. The surgery was successful. My doctor said mine was severe. My heart goes out to anyone who is, or has gone through this. I’d never even heard of it before I got it.
I have hEDS. I had frozen shoulder late 2018 into 2019 and months later as it got worse and worse. I got it from straining my shoulder pushing a big dog off me in the middle of the night. I eventually saw a shoulder ortho, cortisone shot and months of PT which was helpful. In 2020 I had frozen shoulder again on the other side. Turns out my shoulder was coming out of the socket when I was side sleeping, irritating the tendons. Since I had PT the year before and took notes for home exercises, I got a EMS machine and did the exercises and worked on preventing this becoming another year+ painful journey.
Like me I hear many men have this problem around age 50. I didn't realize it at the time but I felt the problem coming on when I laid back in a recliner or on a bed with my arms above my head and bringing them back down was painful. I also developed a large bump is my upper arm from an over used muscle. But I really want to share an exercize my therapist gave me that gave me 80-90% improvement in 4 weeks without a lot of pain. I would stand sidways to a wall then use my finger to climb up the wall to full extension (180 degrees) because I was incapable of raising my arm more than 90 degrees with out help. I did several reps 3 times a day. So if you don't have Bob and Mike's equipment available immediately you could try that until you get your gear.
Yes, I had frozen shoulder. Had never heard of it, I went to a local physical therapist who told me that was likely what it was. I'm glad I did the therapy, it may have healed on its own, but the support and accountability were necessary to keep me going.
You got it brad, you know how to fix a frozen shoulder. Thanks to you, I made it from frozen to thaw in about 6months, and I followed your every advise and it works. And your also helping me with hip rotation and lower back pain, I'm 57, physically care for my quadriplegic daughter and feeling better than I have in 10yrs. Thanks guys. I love your funny and informative show
I had it in one shoulder then 10 years later the other.You helped me alot the second time.Both times it was about 9 months.A friend had the same problem and had surgery and it took her years to heal.The PT they sent me too the first time was such a waste of my time ...i just bought the equipment and did it myself.I recommend the pulley system.......worked well.Hoping i dont have it a third time.First I was 62 and seond time 72.
Yeah I bought the pulley system and the resistance bands I'm still in stage 2 of it and it's been a little over a yr now. The orthopedic therapist said mine was brought on because of major built-up scare tissue in the socket
I have had a frozen shoulder for quite a while. I have already had an injection and have been doing stretches, but it is still limited in ROM. I can’t wait to start trying these suggestions out.
I’ve never had a frozen shoulder, but I had achiness in the shoulder and I just hung per your instructions and using the stick to stretch the shoulder and back. It works. Thank you.
Some orthopedic surgeons want to immediately do surgery. Mine gave me stretching to do- hanging by my fingertips from the top of a doorway seemed to help me the most. And leaning forward and backward while hanging to help loosen my shoulder.
Thank you!!!!! I've been dealing with this for over a yr know. I am in the stage 2 right now. The orthopedic therapist said mine was brought on because the capsule was totally filled with scare tissue. I'm allergic to pain killers so I just have to deal with the pain. I'm in a wheelchair so I can't do all the stretches so I just do the ones I can do over and over SMH
Thank you three for answering my recent question about this frozen shoulder syndrome! Weird sudden physical issue, thought maybe due to the way I’ve been sleeping (favor one side with pressure on that shoulder/arm) &/or due to menopause - loss of estrogen & the problems related. 🤷🏻♀️
@@sawyerjoecks6749 Idk. I’ve experienced the average muscle soreness & stiffness. This is different, like a piercing shot of pain from shoulder down to upper arm, only when I move my arm past that threshold.
Thank you for this segment. I’m experiencing FS in both shoulders..it’s debilitating or crippling…I’m planning on seeing my general doctor..hopefully he can give me guidance too . Again thanks , this is eye awakening .
I have frozen shoulder after my arm cast was removed sept 4. Thanks for the help. I was wondering if the ortho folks could warn about this, and suggest the ways to prevent it when they put a cast on.
I had been in physical therapy for a frozen shoulder for some weeks but the pain was so severe that it impeded continuing progress. I got a steroid injection and was shocked that within minutes the excruciating pain was relieved and I could get on with productive PT.
It took me 5 years to get full range of motion back after rotator cuff repair. My shoulder is still weak but I'm still making progress. I can now raise a small soup can. Still working on it. 🙂 I had to do PT on my own at home because the doctor wouldn't okay any more therapy. I had best success with a pulley that my husband put up in a door frame.
I broke my shoulder, had shoulder replaced. Now working with PT because it’s frozen BUT slowly, and I mean slowly, getting better. The pulley system at PT helps the most so will try to make my own. Thanks for the ideas!
Brad And Mike, So Happy To See This Wonderful Video And Hear And See All Of You!! ... Bob Looks As Beautiful As Ever!! .. God Bless You All For All The Necessary Videos You Create!! ... Much Love!!! ❤❤❤
I had a frozen shoulder that lasted a year and a half. It came on slowly, over about 3 months. I knew I had injured my shoulder and was icing it and trying to be careful, but then my upper arm became severely clamped to my side and there was no movement at all in any direction. I was in physical therapy for several months, but all they could do was heat pack it, massage and some minor manipulation. I did not have injections of any sort or surgery. It finally started to thaw after 18 months, and since then, I've had more PT, which has really helped. I also use a Bo stick, which was recommended by my pain specialist doctor. It really does help to stay loosened up by using that.
Yes, left. 4 physio appointments for excerise plans. Did the excerises often even thou it hurt and gone in 3 months. However, I also used Difflam at least twice a day, a topical anti-inflammatory and pain relief gel. I of course watched Bob and Brad too for advice.❤
with these guys help I fixed this/ the exercises actually felt good/ after a time I have full movement/ this nice part is the minute I was fully healed I forgot the whole episode/ seeing this free great help 🙏🏽👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘/never took injections 😮 I’m 65 so it’s possible
Had frozen shoulder in my left arm. Healed on it’s own after 5 months. 15 years later it’s in my right arm. 5 months in and it’s starting (very slight) to feel better. No diabetes and healthy for my age. Both started after lifting moderate weights which resulted in tendinopathy. PT was too painful each time.
This was, by far, the most pain I’ve experienced. It took 7 appointments with doctors and physical therapist, and finally a shoulder specialist to get diagnosed. I got a cortisol injection which helped tremendously! But 9 months later I went back (more than 2 years in with pain) and got a manipulation surgery scheduled. My arm was not thawing. After the “surgery” I was soooooooo much better!! I’ve never fully recovered my full range of motion but according to my PT , I’m pretty dang flexible and it’s better than most peoples range.
You may have done a video on this but what exercises and other treatment can be used to avoid rotator cuff surgery or shoulder replacement surgery? I know people have full torn rotator cuffs and manage without surgery.
Check out Dr. John M. Kirsch, MD videos. I haven't watched them, but had bought his book "Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention". I follow his book for my frozen shoulder using Brad and Bob's Hanging Handles with great (and fast) results. Although your problem is rotator cuff issue, that's what his book is mainly addressing. Check out his videos and then get his book. IMHO, a great book!
I had frozen shoulders it was very painful and spread to both my shoulders. I did PT and finally got an injection from the ortho doctor. I usually pulley and weights to help pull my arms up and around. One of the PTs recommended massage gun. I bought one of yours from Amazon and it helped a lot.
Had it when I was 45/46 and it took 1 year from first pain to complete thawing. My older sister had it too, and my mother when she was our age. Just be patient and don’t do much - it will heal! Once the shoulder is thawed you can start stretching and exercising to get your strength back.
I have successfully treated adhesive capsulitis for many years with myfascial release techniques of the subscapularis muscle and the shoulder girdle muscles in as little as 2 weeks.
Hi Bob, Brad, Mike, not sure if I have a frozen shoulder, but I watched the video; what I get is like an occasional 'kink' when raising my right arm; so I will try these move to see if I can eliminate it. Thanks 👌
had it at age 43 , took me 8 months to completely heal, full range of motion. no doctors no PT , just youtube videos and dont stop weight lifting ( the ones you can do without pain ofc).
They say I need a shoulder replacement, but I wonder if it’s partially frozen too, and if I could do anything to make it better on my own short of a new shoulder
I was bit by a black widow spider on my wrist and my entire arm was without feeling or muscle movement for 3 days. It was very annoying because I had to work with a lifeless arm.
The only relief I get from my shoulder pain is from a cortisone injection. Physical therapy only worked for me after getting the injection. And six months later the pain returns!?!

This is one of many perimenopause symptoms. I had it a couple of years ago and ended up in PT for it. I wish I had known then it was related to peri.
Wow!!!! Your comment is right on time. I just went to ortho yesterday, but . . . I’m perimenopausal. I have no other illnesses. Wow!
Thank you, guys! I have a frozen ahoulder right now. Im also hypermobile, so healing is challenging and slow. I had wrist surgery with a block 4/4, and that prompted the shoulder freeze. Im in PT.

Please see my post - there may be a few things that may help you.
See if there's someone who performs ultrasound guided hydradialation near to you.
If not, an orthopedic specialist, who performs steroid injections, can also make up the "recipe" and give it to you slowly, but needs to be guided.
Also, a TENS unit helps with the pain. It only works while you've got it on, though..

Is atrophy the same thing as frozen shoulder or is atrophy the result of frozen shoulder?

I got a cortisol injection which helped tremendously! But 9 months later I went back (more than 2 years in with pain) and got a manipulation surgery scheduled. My arm was not thawing. After the “surgery” I was soooooooo much better!! I’ve never fully recovered my full range of motion but according to my PT , I’m pretty dang flexible and it’s better than most peoples range.
You may have done a video on this but what exercises and other treatment can be used to avoid rotator cuff surgery or shoulder replacement surgery? I know people have full torn rotator cuffs and manage without surgery.
Check out Dr. John M. Kirsch, MD videos. I haven't watched them, but had bought his book "Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention". I follow his book for my frozen shoulder using Brad and Bob's Hanging Handles with great (and fast) results. Although your problem is rotator cuff issue, that's what his book is mainly addressing. Check out his videos and then get his book. IMHO, a great book!
I had frozen shoulders it was very painful and spread to both my shoulders. I did PT and finally got an injection from the ortho doctor. I usually pulley and weights to help pull my arms up and around. One of the PTs recommended massage gun. I bought one of yours from Amazon and it helped a lot.
Had it when I was 45/46 and it took 1 year from first pain to complete thawing. My older sister had it too, and my mother when she was our age. Just be patient and don’t do much - it will heal! Once the shoulder is thawed you can start stretching and exercising to get your strength back.
Thankyou , those ideas will be very helpful.
You meant to say it's easy to construct a pulley *if you don't have a frozen shoulder.*
What do you say about reflexology, many say could help.
Cut out all gluten.
I have successfully treated adhesive capsulitis for many years with myfascial release techniques of the subscapularis muscle and the shoulder girdle muscles in as little as 2 weeks.
Can I do this myself or do I need to find someone trained?
I’ve had it for over 2 years now. Nothing has seemed to work.
Hi Bob, Brad, Mike, not sure if I have a frozen shoulder, but I watched the video; what I get is like an occasional 'kink' when raising my right arm; so I will try these move to see if I can eliminate it. Thanks 👌
a frozen shld isn't a kink, its a total loss of movt.
Thank you 💕. Egypt
No Frozen shoulder but surgery for broken humous (2020) has left me with nerve damage{?). I like the stick moves.
Can you do one on frozen elbow after a Terrible Triad injury?
had it at age 43 , took me 8 months to completely heal, full range of motion. no doctors no PT , just youtube videos and dont stop weight lifting ( the ones you can do without pain ofc).
PLEASE TELL US HOW TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE FROZEN SHOULDER🥰
They say I need a shoulder replacement, but I wonder if it’s partially frozen too, and if I could do anything to make it better on my own short of a new shoulder
Worst pain I ever experienced. Had it three time over the past five years. Left shoulder then the right and then the left again.
I have Type 1 diabetes and many of us tend to get frozen shoulder. I did and took about 2 years to resolve
I had manipulation. I was in physical therapy for 5 months before I made the decision to get it done. Best decision of my life for me.
I was bit by a black widow spider on my wrist and my entire arm was without feeling or muscle movement for 3 days. It was very annoying because I had to work with a lifeless arm.
but, that's got nothing to do with frozen shoulder.
@marcus-Brutus, So happy that the feeling returned after three days!! ... Whew! That's scary also!! ❤❤❤
Yikes!
Un-thaw means to freeze 😉
Does this occur more frequently to women?
Yes
Put it in the micro wave.😊
Can take up to 24 months
Thanks.
My wife as it in both shoulders, she's at six months now, but only just been told it's frozen shoulder.
The only relief I get from my shoulder pain is from a cortisone injection.
Physical therapy only worked for me after getting the injection.
And six months later the pain returns!?!
it can take years to heal.

Now I don’t know if I have Bursitis, or a frozen shoulder, or both.
