This has helped so much! Five years ago I had the dreaded surgery to repair the labrum tear on my left shoulder and the recovery was horrible pain with agonizing recovery. This has prevented that for the right shoulder and I am eternally grateful!!
@@garyleeheard3434 yo man i know that 2 years have past since you wrote this but if you are still there and actually done the surgery did you fully recover? Cause i have this for almost 4 years now and im out of options
@@kostass0740 Hey. I did do the surgery November 4th 2020.. I'd say that it helped for the future of my shoulder from being more worse. I'd agree to that, but there are issues I still have since recovery..even now if I lay on shoulder while sleeping for while I'll have dead arm when I wake and thru the day off and on. Makes hard to work sometime. I actually went to a different shift because of the issues I was having.. I actually took alot longer to heal for some reason .. but while in surgery for me they found 3 tears in bicep and repaired them as well so I had that extra thing . They said the Poppin would stop after surgery but it's still there like before .. I have even continued my resistant band work outs that I was doing in therapy..even at times it still hurts by the end of 40 minutes so it varies on how long . I stacked up on the bands . I bought a lot of different ones. Cause they told me if I stopped the work outs I would have dead arm alot and that would be a permanent thing ,hard to fix .. have to be careful and don't spend to much not using it once ya can.. I was off about 6 months after surgery.. .. hope that helps some. It's just my experience
I had a complete labrum tear.. took 12 anchors and followed the exact rehab procedures as the doctor and physical therapist recommended...The doctor was highly regarded and recommended and 3 years later I reached out to stop a door from closing and the entire labrum re tore.. A year after surgery it was never the same.. Had to give up bench presses and dumbbell presses. I’m not electing for surgery this time.. I’m 54 and in excellent health and a former professional athlete but this surgery ruined my shoulder... If you need the surgery good luck but I guarantee your shoulder will never be the same.......I was lucky this happened later in life rather than when I was younger....👍
The doctors were forcing me to do surgery..my parents too ..i took my gut instinct and refused ... I am always scared to lift heavy in my injured shoulder but I am bit relieved to refuse the surgery...thanks for sharing your experience..how are you now after 3 years ?
@Rodi at 13 years old I hot the surgery at this point at 34 my arm is useless. I struggle to reach for a glass of water with my left arm it is extremely painful to lift. Now my right has the same tear.
@@markabram9714i feel for you man, injured both labrums from football and excessive lifting at 15, only really bad cracking and one specific crack made it feel like i was breaking my shoulder. i was able to do everything with no pain. due to the extensive urging of my dr to get the surgery i did. i can’t even eat without my elbows resting and any physical exercise takes very long to recover. had to quit football, jiu jitsu, weightlifting. went from 175 benching 225 feeling on top of the world to 130 Ibs. about to turn 18 and i feel like an old man with these shoulders. hate to say it but makes me feel better im not the only one experiencing this
@Az_s2k there's a few stretches that slightly help. Hang from a pull up bar every morning and force yourself to lateral raise and front raise arms with 2.5 pound weights if possible twice a week. Main thing that helped me recover any movement and strength was swimming. Then I would over do it trying to lift weights again and always retare swimming seems safe with constant benefits. Good luck don't let too many years go by not using them the atrophy will take over fast. Any movement is good and eventually u may be lucky enough to be out of pain even if only in spurts.
@@markabram9714 Thank you so much for the tips. I’ve been back in the gym slowly and am going back to physical therapy to see if that impacts anything. started doing the lateral raises and stuff with 5 Ib weights 8 reps for 4 sets until failure because that’s what a lot of gym bros keep saying but i think i overdid it since my shoulder was locking with each stride i took since your arms move while walking. I will definitely get back to swimming though and doing those bar hangs. Appreciate all the tips and good luck to you as well!
thanks so much for this video..been back in the weight room for about 3 months and doing some of these exercises and it has really help build back my shoulder strength..I had more of a strain than a tear, but I did notice I still have to do a good deal of warm up/stretching before I do any workouts and my shoulder will feel pretty good. I do believe my shoulder healed but not with the same range of mobility, anything additional you suggest for obtain original ROM?
@@gbengaayinla1978 I guess they're severe when they're too much to tolerate. My doctor told me not to hunt for the pain, so if I know it hurts when I stretch too much, I shouldn't stretch that much. If you push it to the point where it's hurting, you're likely to make the tear worse.
People say the labrum never heals Could the same be said about a rotator cuff injury.? I had one in the pass and did some stretching and movement s and it was brand new. Now I have a labrum injury and it's no where as near paind full as the rotator cuff injury but it's still preventing me from benching like I want to
Depends on severity/size of tear along with when it happened. A tear before 18, kiss your old arm goodbye. A tear after 18, enjoy what you have while it last.
Are these exercises only appropriate to be done after you've already had surgery and are in the rehab/physio process? Or are they safe to do before you've had surgery?
Elise- Noisy Noyes I have the same questions. Please let me know if you found out the answers. The doctor told her to completely test my shoulder and see what happens.
i have a SLAP tear, rotator cuff tear, and a labrum tear. is the YTI workout safe for me to do pre surgery? It has been over 2 months since the injury and my shoulder doesnt cause me much pain at all
Hey Brandon, just reaching out to you to see if you are doing any better? I was told they have a tear at the labrum with involvement of the biceps tendon. It looks like in my case the biceps tendon sublimed out of place or is also partially torn as with the labrum. I’m not really sure if I’m gonna do surgery or if I should just let it heal on its own. How are you doing?
Is it bad to workout with a slap tear? Clearly its not the best thing to do for your shoulder BUT what are the side effects working out with it For a year or two untreated? once its torn its simply torn so if you weight lift 3 to 4 days a week what can happen to your shoulderm
Thanks so much. Been looking for a while for this. I did not even know what caused it until I used the hack squat machine and found that it seemed to be the pressure of the pads on the shoulders from the weights. I had not done anything else that could possibly have caused this that I know of.
For these exercises are there any limitations on the amount od weight to help stabilized the shoulder. I have a son who is a pitcher with a torn labrum
Hi doctor I am a badminton athlete and I have a level 1 slap tear which is small ,can it be healed with in 20 to 25 days perfectly cause I have to go for a tournament or should I rest ? Please suggest me as soon as possible. Thank you
+Marky Mark I have a pretty severe labrum tear and I can do pull ups no problem. Helpful? probably not but I also don't think it can do any harm. According to my orthopedic surgeon, nothing is likely to make it worse other than exercises similar to what caused it... bench press in my case.
weatherman 37 with a torn labrum in your shoulder can you still gain muscle in that arm?forearm,bicep and shoulder ?also can you never again bench press with a torn labrum ?thank you
Definatley post, just had the surgery done, and i recognize some of the exercises from what my surgeon told me. Surgery IS required for a labral tear, you cannot repair it otherwise.
viknesh karthik to an extent yes. People will always say NO and technically they're not lying. A labrum will never heal itself CORRECTLY. If your tear is small and not much to worry about yes it can if you PT the living he'll out of it, but it fixes it by compensation. Cartilage does by definition HEAL but does so unbelievably slow that if you have a large enough tear you may as well get surgery if you want to be back to regular activities in a 20th the time. Sad but true to anyone reading this. I've torn both mine, the same night actually, and had to get surgery on one and its doing awesome I'm awaiting surgery on the other at the moment.
@@jtheripper713 damn youre lucky i torn my labrum 8 years ago after about a year my regular doctor finally sent me to an orthopedic surgeon and he gave me 3 cortisone shots and they did absolutely nothing to fix it
I had a labral tear years ago playing hockey. I have strengthened it back to normal with no surgery and have absolutely no pain. My only issue is cosmetic. I have been working on my posture and form during my workout routine and after years I can not get rid of this slump in my shoulder. My left side (healthy side) looks completely normal and perfect posture but my right has this slump which in turn rolls the whole the shoulder forward. I have tried a lot of the exercises on youtube, nothing has seemed to work. Any tips from anyone?
Justin Matthews I have the same problem of the shoulder being rolled forward and on the right too!! Mine also has a limited ROM when it comes to internal rotation
What kind of symptoms did you have after a shoulder labrum tear? I injured my shoulder two weeks during a hockey game and it hasn’t been the same since. My biggest problem is a burning sensation where my pect comes in at my shoulder.
@@Bitcash1 I did a month of PT and it hasn’t bothered me much. I still have trouble with it when I raise my arms above my head, but nothing to serious.
@@plaserviper I ended up going to PT for a two months and was giving some at home exercises. That did help some, but I still have some trouble with lifting my arms above my head. I have FAI in both my hips with a labrum tear, my doctor thinks I have some similar in my shoulders. Whether that be just be a tear or bone spurs or a combination of both.

it's annoying
Matue Forh how does your shoulder feel now?
When you say nothing overhead, do you mean in the beginning of rehab? You don’t mean permanently, right?
not permanently
I was wondering how many sets, reps, and times a day should you do each exercise?
4-5 days aweek with light weights 2-4 maybe sets each with 15-30 reps
3 sets, light weight, 10 reps
I am currently dealing with this type of injury. I'm glad I found your video and thanks for your informative and professional advise.
any workouts for chest?
Can I avoid surgery if I do these enough? Will my shoulder heal itself if I exercise them?
Labral tears cannot heal themselves. Surgery is the only thing that can correct it, but if your symptoms are not severe it can help!
@@isaacgove when do i know the symptoms are severe. I have full range of motion and rotate my hand but it hurt when I stress it too much

Gracias, tengo mucho dolor en mi brazo y el dedo pulgar .😔🙏🇨🇴
Great stuff
Is surgery a requirement for labral tear?
Quick question if you are still there have you done the surgery and if yes did it work? Did you recover like 70 80 90 100%?
So can torn labrum problem be fixed with exercise and be pain free? So without surgery?
I am trying to avoid surgery as weel
@A. B .
I ve also got same problem but it requires surgery there is no way it can heal back on its own
Is it bad to workout with a slap tear? Clearly its not the best thing to do for your shoulder BUT what are the side effects working out with it

Yeah this is definitely post surgery, the labrum doesn't receiver enough blood flow to repair itself.

Some surgeons clip a ligmanet to reach the labrum I think. Maybe that's why your shoulder is sagging
I fucked my shit up my senior year of football. That was almost 3 years ago and after my surgery 2 years ago, my shoulder still hasnt fully recovered.
You can't do any of this with a fresh injury.....

You should really be using your legs/body to create momentum for the hanging/swinging motion and not use your arms/shoulder to create the movement.
Angel Martinez that’s the same thing I was saying your not suppose to use your shoulders to make the motion
Non of them works
