I just FINALLY found out that the major cause of the short head bicep tendonitis that has been torturing me for 3 years while running was the pectoralis minor being hard as a rock. As in so tight the massuse couldn't even get to the knots underneath. These stretches jive with the ones I was told to do, plus a lacrosse ball . Very good demos on doing them right.
I went to the hospital for the tingles in my arm... They didn't know what was going on... now I figured out that is my poor posture.. Thank you.. Plz post more vids
Thanks so much! I started doing an eliptical machine with arm levers a few months ago and began to experience soreness in my neck and shoulder and even tingling. I also play the guitar which can affect my posture. I woke up this morning in pain and decided to do something about it. That's when I came across your simple and clear video. I did all the exercises and have felt immediate relief. I will do them daily and subscribe to your channel. I greatly appreciate this video and look forward to the next. You have a great day too!
It helps me recover from my disc prolapse, thank you for sharing your knowledge to us who are helpless, during this time when we are having pain. Thanks be to Jesus Christ who is there always guiding us.More blessings to you sir.
Great advise for stretches! The only problem I have is leaning into the door for pec stretches with full body weight. The stretch should be controlled by leaning in via the legs. Bend one knee through the door as you descend into the stretch and it's more controlled. Leaning in with full body weight can strain/hurt and damage the anterior glenohumeral capsule as it can cause force. Otherwise great video, thanks!
There are many components to neck hump fix. One resource I found which succeeds in merging these is the Neck Mender Blueprint (check it out on google) definately the no.1 resource that I have ever heard of. look at the awesome information.
I want to thank you Dr, it's great I was lucky to get known the exercise for knee pain, I am a young guy, I do regular exercise and try to be fit, I had severe pain in my knees ,I didn't knew the reason, but the exercises I tried, and am 100% OK and I try all of your advices. thank doc you are just amazing.
Hi Doc! All you do is greatly appreciated! I am working on my posture with resistance band training and of course learning from your videos. Just thought I'd share in case this can help someone.
i was born with much muscle imbalances it really sucks. Im going to die really soon to. But once again doing your exercises i get closer to my self. I look in the mirror and see my true self Thanks for that! That makes me so proud , i can die happy
I have the same problem. As a child I always overused my right side which caused my left side to weaken. This has caused me many problems such as a pelvic tilt, forward head posture, tight back muscles and always pain on the right side of my body. I have lived with this for years but stretches changed my life. I started doing stretches 2 days ago and I have a good posture already. Its all about being consistent.
Thank you doctor hoping someday we meet, im from philippines. Everytime that i feel pain in my neck and shoulders i always check to you tube to watch your videos😊
Dr. You’re a game changer. I’ve had so much pain in my chest and back area and these stretches have relieved so much tension in a matter of minutes. Can I do these daily?
I had to go to the doctor, and he couldn't say what exacly caused the pain - he checked my heart and was nothing wrong with it, i can see what exactly happened to me as shown in the video, My poor posture is creating my chest muscles strain (pec stuff) and I was also feeling some dizziness probably because of how painful it is, I can feel the pain when I do these exercises and i think this will fix all of my problems, and I am getting a new desk and chair for my work as well
Thank you My arms recently have been falling asleep when I'm sleeping 4 months now and not one day and night that my entire arms don't fall asleep I'm starting this tomorrow and I'm hoping for the best
Always warm up your shoulders and other muscles before stretching to avoid injury or worsening an existing one. Doing arm extended small circle rotations is a great exercise for warming up the shoulder area.
I would agree for fascia release but not so much for stretches ....most stretches should be done cold if it is to fix a chronic issue. By doing it cold you can accurately measure your progress as well. Warming up tissue won't give you an accurate representation of what's going on as you go through the stretches.
Good night from Portugal! I'm doing P4P exercises (chest and abs) and also I have rounded shoulders. Will doing these exercises everyday will fix my posture even doing bodyweight exercises every other day (P4P)? Hope you answer :) Keep up the good work on your channel!
Dr. You videos help me a lot in fixing a lot of my muscles problems, specially this one, I have bad headache I visited a lot of clinics but no benefit. I started 2 years ago doing a lot of your experiences. And my muscles start moving one by one from neck, shoulder, back and lower back then legs. Specially left side. I have good progress but still I don’t know what I should do to fix the problem completely. Hussain from Saudia Arabia.
Hi Deborah here, thanks a lot for reminding me to stretch. I've been sitting on a wheelchair for approximately six years standing when I can. I was diagnosed with primary progressive MS. It seems that everyone chalks up every stiffness or lack of movement to MS which is not the case I believe. If you have any experience or knowledge or motivation for me to absorb bring it on I'm ready to get up.
A positive mind can overcome any disease. Continue to persevere and stay as active as possible even in a sitting position. The more progressively you can use the muscles the more the muscles will talk to the brain and ideally all will function better. It is good that you do arise from your wheelchair to isolate and use other muscles in the lower extremities. A good massage therapist can be very effective while doing resistive progressive exercises throughout the body. Nutrition is important, juice if all possible lots of greens and great antioxidants. Keeping a strong immune system is most important. If there's anything else I may help you with in the future please call upon me.😊
Hey doc thanks for making these vids! When i try to do the door stretch it makes my posterior shoulder pain worse on my right side but it feels a little better after.
Please kindly make a video regarding how can we change our lifestyle specially while working on desk like studying, using laptops to prevent upper crust and rounded shoulder
Doctor with that wall exercise I can’t get my left arm to lie flat on the wall? Can’t bend my arm enough. Not even close. So should I still try to do this wall angel with that limitation? Or try something else that maybe a better exercise choice?
it's a very simple exercise but it hurts, I feel my muscles are being pulled. I can't believe i'm trying this with my martial arts training but I think it works
I felt tingling down both my arms after 1 stretch. I think i found my problem. 4 years i was doing neck and shoulder stretches still pain in that shoulder.
Thanks very much for these exercises, Doc, they are extremely helpful & I can feel the benefits from them already. Have a question; how closely connected would the hunched, rounded shoulders & back have with suppressing the diaphragm & getting a full breath? Thanks again.
I have pec minor nerve compression going on 14 months. I was improving but a pt set me back piking hard on my corocoid process. How can i do a proper pec stretch without causing flare ups? It feels like I have a vicegrip around the nerve in my pecminor. Even seatbelt that goes over it causes pain
I have intracostal inflamation in the rib, which causes me pain near my heart. Will these stretches make it worse? I get pain just with brisk walking, bending, or lifting light objects.
Thank you for the video. I suspect poor posture is to blame from my neck and shoulder pain. How often should one do these exercises? Twice a day, once every other day?
Dr Mandel how long do you think it can take one having had a frozen shoulder and trigenics cure to stop feeling pain at any movement ? Thank you so much for your videos. They are extremely appealing!
Dr. Mandel im a big fan, i have terrible rounded shoulders from overduing pushing muscles, im not duing pushing exercises anymore and focusing on the puling, also not engaging the lats. Obviosly streching chest, What else must i do, and is it reversible?
Any relation to Howie Mandel? :) Thanks so much for this video my romboid muscle kills me every day very intense pain on the left side now it has spread to my pec muscle ugh terrible I will be doing these stretches thanks again :)
I get pain when I put my shoulder back and down. But when I have rounded shoulders and slouching forward I get relief. This video doesn't talk about this. Can you tell me. If this is happens to everyone?
MRI says I have pinched nerve in c6, c7 area. Loss of strength in trouble arm. Muscle atrophy in trouble pectoral. Tingling in the thumb to middle finger area if I don't hold posture correct. Any advice for exercises or otherwise? I have the water bag traction rig, go to chiropractor weekly. Thanks
motivationaldoc in a wheelchai. I have trapped nerve in my right shoulder, causing me a lot of problems.Its beginning to hurt on my left . Any suggestions? Please hełp!
Any tips on what to do if I cannot even get my arms against the wall with my back against the wall? I can jsut barley get my elbows to touch, but my forearms and hands are inches out form the wall. Thank you
Is this why I can't extend my fingers upward all the way and my tricep and pec are incredibly weak??? I can barely do pushups at the moment and used to be able to do a ton.
Hi Doc. thanks for sharing great work. I have been working @office and have rounded shoulder unless I practice crossfit full body three times a week. I was plannig to have a back adjustment. I've decided to repeat the strecthing you have shown in the video. Do you advise first thry these streching exercises before having a back adjustment? How often and how long should I try to see a progress. Thanks again.
I just FINALLY found out that the major cause of the short head bicep tendonitis that has been torturing me for 3 years while running was the pectoralis minor being hard as a rock. As in so tight the massuse couldn't even get to the knots underneath.
