I've had shoulder pain/rotator cuff pain for the past year and couldn't get it to get any better. I went to PT for 4 months and the pain minimized just a little. I went back to Ortho and they wanted to do surgery. I wasn't too happy to go that route. I jumped on RUclips found this video and have been doing these exercises for the past 3 weeks. I have to say these exercises work and my shoulder/rotator cuff has not felt this great in over a year. I was skeptical, but didn't want to have surgery so I tried it. 3X's a day for 3 weeks now and I am very happy with results. Thank you so much!
I’m on the same boat Have been in pain for more than two years Now they want to do a surgery But I don’t want to The worst part it’s that my biggest hobby it’s surfing , Now I can only do it two days a week and the rest of the time I’m just in pain , Hopefully this exercises will help
In hindsight, I vaguely remember our high school gym teacher putting us through a lot of the movements described here. It was, however wasted on youth. Most of us just wanted to work out with weights and get a bodybuilder look instead of concentrating on the health aspects of exercise. I did become a bodybuilder type and now I am suffering the results of too much emphasis on size and strength as opposed to range of motion and injury prevention. If only youth was not wasted on the young. There is no substitute for the wealth of wisdom that comes with age and experience.
What I really like about your exercises is that THEY DO NOT REQUIRE any extra equipment, like rubber bands, etc. You can do them anywhere. THANK YOU!!!
I've been loading the rotator cuff incorrectly per Dr B. "Deltoid Raises" where I haven't always done correctly. At one point I was even doing deltoid raises with 20, then 25, then 30 pound dumbbells. Putting tremendous long-term stress on the rotator cuff. Didn't notice it for a long time. Then began noticing it a little, then it would go away. Then I was needing a month off to rest the deltoids.
Hey guys! I just wanted to come back and say I watched this video over a year ago when I was at my worst pain in BOTH shoulders. I had been to PT and was still in horrible shape. Your videos saved my life! I am should pain free 98% of the time and still do these exercises when needed. I really appreciate your content! Working on my back now!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach I tore my rotator cuff while swimming. I'm doing your exercises. I would like to ask, can a rotator cuff tear be healed? Can I go swimming again? How long does it take to recover? Thank you very much admin
I am from India. Have been doing number of exercises since a month under a supervision of a physiotherapist Having 50% relief. Now added your exercises and feel like 99.9% relief. Thankyou from the core of my heart.
I can’t thank you enough for this I injured my shoulder shoveling snow and felt like It wasn’t getting any better. After doing this routine for a week the pain is already going away and I can get back to my active life. These exercises are amazing and I can’t thank you enough!
Hi, I had real bad shoulder pain for over 3 months and it wasn’t getting better. Came across your video and tried the exercises and literally the next day started to feel better. Amazing, THANK YOU!!
Absolutely incredible. Tried these exercises and felt almost instant relief of an impingement that I've been experiencing for weeks, and that I'd been doing more standard internal/external rotation and arm lift exercises to try and address without any improvement. Super excited to keep doing these and improve further!!
This is the best video i have ever seen on shoulder rotator cuff pain. Had shoulder pain my entire life and has been progressing to bicep tendon pain. After doing these exercises got instant relief. Thank you so much ❤
That is so great to read! Thanks so much for trying it out and commenting. We really appreciate that. Let us know if you need any more support :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I've been struggling with shoulder pain, specifically in my rotator cuff, for months. I happened to come across your video and decided to follow along with the exercises. The tightness has significantly reduced, and now I can lift my left arm without experiencing any tightness or pain. These exercises really work! Thank you!
Words can't express how helpful you two are and will continue to be! It has become quite clear precisely where my issues lie and I will be fixed because of this video and the linked videos. Free content like this is priceless and I couldn't even get through this comment without tears. Thank You!!!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach I no longer have shoulder pain after training Muay Thai -- I continue to do exercises on here and your other videos as necessary, and before training. We are talking years of collagen buildup and issues--very bad kinetic chain imbalances. I also do other stuff but the majority if from your video(s).
Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time and effort to post this comprehensive guide and advice. I recently damaged my shoulder and through watching this video was able to self diagnose and treat a problem with my scapular position, 3 weeks in and I'm well on the way to a full recovery, just becoming able to complete the shoulder crossover circles you demonstrate, without pain! Fabulous! Thanks again.
During my 30 years as a Bering Sea fisherman, I never experienced shoulder or bicep pain. However, when I started working at a fast-paced bakery, I began to feel shoulder and bicep pain. My job involved stacking bread pallets onto a rolling dolly at a very fast pace, with the pallets reaching about 3 feet over my head. The pressure to stack the pallets quickly to avoid the bread ending up on the floor made me feel uneasy. Despite being used to enduring pain as a fisherman, I soon realized that I had arthritis in my shoulder joint. Additionally, I suffered a full tear in my rotator cuff tendon after falling while pushing my grandsons in a wheelbarrow. Although I don't attribute the pain to a single incident, I believe that lifting the bread pallets beyond my reach contributed to my need for treatment.

I can't wait to try these. I theoretically tore my rotator cuff a month ago in a bad fall, but haven't been able to get in to see any PT, sports med doc, or even get an MRI due to no openings in all of Seattle (one general internist told me it's most likely a tear, but none of the referrals he made for me for PT have openings for months). It's time to take this recovery into my own hands since there is no medical care available in Seattle any more. Every person for themselves! Thank you for the video.

Thank you Coach E and Dr B, as a 63 yo retiree, I am still playing tennis 3-4x a week and riding/racing/coaching MTB bikes and off road motorcycles. I have a lifetime of overhead sports (baseball pitcher and tennis), but my rotator cuff has been bomber up until 3 weeks ago when I cartwheeled my dirtbike. Acute pain immediately, and difficulty/some pain when lifting my arm. Two days ago visited an Ortho clinic, prelim diagnosis was tear in supraspinatus, had a immediate orthorpeadic ultrasound with a confirmation of a 1/2cm partial tear in supraspinatus tendon of the rotator cuff. My tennis teaching professional suggested reviewing Coach E's youtube videos and I found and watched this one. I am doing home PT with the hope of being back to normal in 6-8 weeks with no surgery. Thank you again for the excellent video. I plan to continue to do easy MTB/road bike rides (no crashing allowed) and am working at developing the capability to play tennis with my non-dominate arm in the short run to scratch my itch of playing tennis during my two months of rehabbing the dominate arm. Cheers and Thank you. I am hoping for no surgery and no further crashing in the short term!

Very very grateful for this video!! I’ve been in pain for the last 2wks because i thought i dislocated my shoulder. I was gonna visit the doctor but decided to search in youtube first. I can’t believe the pain is almost gone after doing this just once!!
Glad I found your channel. A chiropractor taught me most of these exercises and others exercises for left sided upper back injuries involving my left arm, shoulder and lower cervical areas, several years ago; took me a little over 10 1/2 years to almost fully recover. The point is doing the exercises every day, and don't over do it. If you want to get back what you lost physically, do the exercises.
13:44 OMG. I felt a slight pop while doing this, and then instantly! - all the pain just went away!! HOW LOL!! What sorcery is this!! You are amazing thank you so much for this! It would be criminal for me not to subscribe and like these videos on every account I have, Again thank you.
I am from India I added your exercise and it has given me 99% results in my shoulder pain thank you once again for your service and video god bless you both 🙏
Can't wait to try these exercises. Thank you for such a clear, concise and positive video. My right shoulder is lower and slightly forward than the left - played squash years ago and my shoulder 'popped out' which I could push back into place, so to speak. I intuited standing against the wall doing the slow upwards motions but the other exercises I will do to hopefully better my posture and alignment. And thank you for sharing straightforward advice!
I’m not a sports athlete but I AM an artist who stands in front of an easel holding a palette and wielding my brushes for up to 10 hour days. My shoulders take on a lot of strain. After doing these, I can also sense a freedom to my rib cage! These are excellent, thank you!!!
I have a similar issue. We do charcoal studies at my art academy and my dominant arm is almost always in the air, drawing. Though I am also physically active, I find these "easy" activites that use the shoulder lightly for a long period of time to get me into pain.
Oh wow the rehab and exercises and explanation on how the rotator cuff works and gets injured is right on point. You guys are pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!🙌👏
Awesome video Coach E and Dr.B! I love that you always have unique exercises. I particularly loved the Shoulder Saver (extending the shoulder but going the opposite way with the scapula tilt to actively reduce anterior scap tilt--brilliant!). Not enough people talk about Serratus Anterior exercises to correct Anterior Scapula Tilt on RUclips. The Serratus Anterior (& Lower Trapezius working in conjunction to upwardly rotate the scapula & open up space in the shoulder) is the key to strong shoulders.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video. I have issues with my rotator cuff and this seems to be the hardest injury to overcome, that I've had thus far. Hopefully I can make some progress using your excercises. Really grateful!
Thank you very much! This is an excellent explanation from Dr. B on rotator cuff function and rehabilitation. I tried the exercises from Coach E. and felt significant relief and increased range of motion.
Thank you very much! I've had a misaligned shoulder for 20 years now, since I had injured it doing professional tennis at the time. I did all the adviced exercises daily for many years, but I think the misalignment only got worse. Since I have stopped doing intensive sports and stressing the shoulder since about 10 years, slowly the joint has become better. The past 2 years I started doing similar isometric exercises Dr. B showed in the video and that has made things get a lot better. I have better alignment in the neutral positions now but still problems when raising the arm over shoulder hight. I am going to try the exercises you showed, especially interested in the loosening of the back part of the capsula because I think that could be a main cause.
Came a cropper falling over a web of gazebo guy ropes. Attempting to break my fall ended up seriously injuring both shoulders. Almost 2 months of extreme pain with up and down & left to right motion including 3 sessions of physiotherapy thereafter with no improvement and virtually crippled. This is one thoroughly explained remedy - just about the very best & I will give it 100 stars I'm certain. Off to try it out with key physiology perfectly addressed. Thank you for posting.
Wow so well explained, and well-demonstrated exercices for pain relief. Thank you so much. I have been doing some other movements for rotator cuff, these exercices will add variations to my routine. Your video will help a lot of people who are suffered from shoulder pain.
this video was timely! As a trainer I thought I knew all the preventatives. But woke up today with a very sore shoulder, thinking I slept on it wrong, which I used to laugh off when clients told me this, and bam, here I am. Already these exercises are helping, along with some anti inflammatory meds. THANK YOU!
Seriously I can't believe it! I arm wrestle, and I always stay in a safe position so I don't break or tear anything. However one thing I didn't account for was my bad posture because I work in IT. You're a life saver
THANK YOU! INSTANT RELIEF! Years of sleeping on my shoulder messed up my left shoulder and years of pain. Thank you, completely resolved and will maintain these as habits.
One of the best videos I've ever seen! I'm trying to stave off rotator cuff surgery, and I will try these exercises for awhile before agreeing to surgery.
Great video. Thank you both for all the help. Thank you Dr.B. for the exercises. I can’t believe that I finally got rid of that annoying shoulder pain that I’ve been suffer for so many years.
I had PT before I was to have surgery. I started having second thoughts about the surgery. I just was not ready to go through all that recovery pain!!! I basically bought every tool I was using in PT to do what I was being charged for every time I had PT. I didn’t want to pay for something I could do at home. I try to be consistent even though I’m in pain. I try and watch videos like this to help me understand the pain and how to deal with it naturally. Thanks for sharing this information!
Curious. Once there is a tear, exercises aren't going to put it back. It will still be torn. I'm skeptical and don't want to injure it further by doing these exercises if I'm going to end up with surgery anyhow to do the repair. Exercises aren't going to put the tendon back where iit belongs will they?
Grateful for this video! i have a right shoulder impingement and have been working with my physio for 6 months. will definitely add these exercises to my regimen.
Wow…I’ve had pain for years, getting much worse the past few months and the first day of doing the exercises have tremendously reduced my pain. Thank you)))
Congenital hip. Had 8 major surgeries and 3 minor at age 5. Told by doctors basically told my life would suck-THIS AT AGE 5! I'll be 55 in a few weeks. I have to use a cane now because I got lazy and didn't exercise. But doing corrective exercises now. My main problem is being consistent. Thank you for showing there is a way without surgery.

great job! I had a shoulder dislocation some time back, I have visited a lot of different doctors and physiotherapists and I end up doing the exact exercises shown above! Really good wrap up video! Keep creating content!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!!!! Wonderful information!!!! As brutally painful as shoulder surgery is, I’m so happy to hear I will only need shoulder surgery if I have a total, full thickness tear showing on the MRI!!!! I’m an Above Knee Amputee and I was coming into the house on my forearm crutches, from taking the dog outside last February, 2022. My left leg is the one missing and my left crutch was wet from the snow and it slid quickly out to the side and down I went in a huge crash!!!! My upper body fell onto my left elbow, which severely jacked my shoulder up and I believe it caused the upper rotator cuff tendon to tear!!!! My VA doctor recommended an MRI and I am finally getting an MRI on both shoulders now since I have since damaged the right shoulder now as I have favored the left so much!!! My right Rotator Cuff was reconstructed in October 2019. This is why I know how brutally painful the surgery is!!! I would be super happy to be able to avoid surgery, but my body is telling me I will probably need the operation, as it is extremely painful to reach out to the left side to turn the bedroom lamp off or on. Anything straight out from my side in a raising motion is excruciatingly painful!!!! I have an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. I have my two shoulder MRI’s the day after tomorrow on January 10th, 2023. My VA Primary Care Provider has injected both shoulders about a month ago. I’m anxious to learn whether I have a complete, full tear vs. a partial tear, which can possibly avoid an operation!!!!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed until I get the resulting information from the two MRI’s the day after tomorrow!!!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information!!!!!!
Awesome video, great explanation, and demonstration super informative, straightforward no-nonsense so happy I found it. I have been dealing with shoulder pain for over 2 years. Already started to put this into practice and am excited to see the result. Thank you
I recently completed 6 months of Physical Therapy for what my MRI found was a “partial tear of the Glenoid Labrum.” I had fallen on my shoulder in November, while running. My Physical Therapy was consistent and my recovery has been slow and steady. As a competitive runner who had always enjoyed body-weight exercises and strength training with dumbbells, I was unable to do many of the exercises due to my shoulder injury and felt I never would, having lost most of my upper body strength. That changed when I started following Eric and his Precision Training videos where I learned everything about ‘The Shoulder and Rotator Cuff injuries, and HOW to REHAB and STRENGTHEN the SHOULDER!! I mean ALL of Eric’s videos ( with Dr. Boynton, too.) I am happy to say my shoulder is getting stronger! I’m doing Eric’s specific exercises ( * 3 Keys to Rotator Cuff Tear…) and using 3# DB’s for basic strength exercises ( no lateral exercises yet.) I am thankful for Eric’s knowledge expertise, and Precision Movement!
March 20, 2022: It’s been 4 months since I fell on my entire shoulder while running; I suffered a partial tear and thought I’d have to live with Posterior Capsular Impingement forever. This video in particular - and all of Precision Movement’s other Rotator Cuff rehab videos- are phenomenal! The explanations by the Orthopedic Surgeon and Eric are wonderful. I have no pain and I can start lifting Dumbbells - slowly but surely!
This rotator cuff routine is incredible. I have been doing it for over 2 weeks now its been helping alot. All the core muscles in my mid and upper spine are still to turn on and re-engage as my rotator cuff goes deeper into its gurdle. I have also been adding the Bicep Tendonities video with this routine as they go very well together. On in between days I am doing your forward head posture routine. They all work great together. Definitely going to take one of your courses once things pop back into place. These exercises are also lengthening and strenghtening the spine for those with compression/damage anywhere there. Do you have any routines for lower back and hip alignment?

Another awesome workout Pj - thank you and happy new year! I look forward to working out with you every morning - You keep me consistent and motivated - thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for sharing all this information! 😊 I have a diagnosed partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus (from an acute injury that happened earlier this year) as well as impingement and tendinosis. I can do the cuff isometrics (and theraband exercises recommended by the PT I saw a few months ago), the standing robot reach and side lying external rotation (with light weight) with no problem/pain. However, when I do the 4S shoulder saver exercise - OUCH! It makes my impingement pain flare right up. I’m not sure why, especially since I’m careful to follow the instructions in the video, but I feel like since it’s painful to do it’s probably causing more damage. (Maybe I think I'm doing it correctly and I'm not?) Is it possible to rehab a strained rotator cuff without doing 4S (and the shoulder circle crossovers)? Thank you so much!

I am having a problem with getting a doctor to really listen to me about the pain I’m having because I can do all the movements they ‘test’ for. But when I’m holding my arm up to eat/drink/doing makeup, in a certain area of motion I am shaking. I can’t hold my arm still unless I use the other hand to control it. I am having shaking in my neck now. I know this is all stemming from my shoulder. But I don’t know what I need to do because it seems like they don’t really know much about how the cuff actually works:

I was told I needed surgery but I think overtime I will be in better condition. This is not for the weak, it hurts😮😂 But for me it hurt so good. I needed this big time because these exercises were extremely beneficial. Thank you 🙏🏾
I have been suffering from severe shoulder imbalance, which has been building up over the past 10 years due to a high kyphosis. I started with these exercises, hope on some improvement soon. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I search exercises for rotator cuff exercises and it lead to your video. I had a tendonitis in my 20’s, 2 decades later it came back after I’ve been attending group classes and can’t help with repeated movement. I will definitely do all the exercises. 08/12/23

This is a really fantastic, informative video. Thank you!! My doctor recommended surgery for a small partial-thickness articular surface tear of supraspinatus tendon, 9 by 3mm.

Fantastic video. Thank you very much. I had an MRI done about 6 years ago that showed I have a 1.5cm tear in my left shoulder rotator cuff. I was cued up for surgery, but I was able to avoid it by making changes in how I use and move my left arm. I definitely have restricted movement, so I’ll have to try these exercises.
Thank you so much to both of you.I feel so scared of what i'm feeling on my left shoulder.I can't put my hand at my back and have stabbing pain on my deltoid esp.at night.Sometimes i hold my phone lying down ,it just suddenly drop down.The tendon going to my palm is painful and it can't hold thing just suddenly drop down.I m afraid of surgery so i keep following your exercise in this video,too painful at night but i can move it little by little now though having pain.Hopefully it will get better without surgery.Thanks a lot .🙏

Thanks for the this video. To see a PT working along side a doctor must be the best video I have seen thus far. I am in the business of Spiritual vitality, but physical vitality is important too especially given I had a dislocated shoulder not long ago and want to rehabilitate it without surgery ideally. May God healing power be with us.
@@PrecisionMovementCoach I have recommended you to others with joint issues. Thank God for you because no doctor has time to help me especially in BC. I have no family doctor, and there has been no consensus with what to do with with PT as well.

I recently tore mine but I had torn it years ago. By the time I went through the process of various prescriptions and the injection they finally put me in the mri. That's when it got verified. The Dr was explaining the surgical process and time to heal, well by that point it really wasn't giving me issues like it had been so I opted not have surgery.

Great suggestions! I have been dealing with these exact symptoms for 5 months now, and I have tried a few things, but nothing works long-term. Massage helped for a day or two, but this looks like my long-term solution. Thanks.
After a horrific accident, i thought i had whiplash because of pain in my neck, and i was stuck with my tilting to the right. The physical therapist identified my problem as rotator cuff damage and nerve damage in my mid back. 2 therapists worked on my shoulder for 2 hours and then I could my head up straight and regained some mobility in my neck. Now I go therapy twice a week.
Thank U both so much on yr adice and tips. I have had this problem over 25 yrs, due to injuries in doing sports. Testing ur tips helped immediately relieve some of the ever present pain. ✌️
I like that there is a REAL MD who specializes at the highest level for this issues.
We do too!
yeah definitely works with Dr. B and Eric.
I've had shoulder pain/rotator cuff pain for the past year and couldn't get it to get any better. I went to PT for 4 months and the pain minimized just a little.

I’m just in pain ,
Hopefully this exercises will help
3x a day or 3x a week?

Yeah, that's right, it costs nothing, and thru the right exercise, you can heal it.
I'll start the isometrics right away.
I've been loading the rotator cuff incorrectly per Dr B. "Deltoid Raises" where I haven't always done correctly. At one point I was even doing
deltoid raises with 20, then 25, then 30 pound dumbbells. Putting
tremendous long-term stress on the rotator cuff. Didn't notice it
for a long time. Then began noticing it a little, then it would go away.
Then I was needing a month off to rest the deltoids.
Hey guys! I just wanted to come back and say I watched this video over a year ago when I was at my worst pain in BOTH shoulders. I had been to PT and was still in horrible shape.

I can’t thank you enough for this I injured my shoulder shoveling snow and felt like It wasn’t getting any better. After doing this routine for a week the pain is already going away and I can get back to my active life. These exercises are amazing and I can’t thank you enough!
Amazing! You are welcome :)
Hi, I had real bad shoulder pain for over 3 months and it wasn’t getting better. Came across your video and tried the exercises and literally the next day started to feel better. Amazing, THANK YOU!!
Nice work!
I like the PT and surgeon combination. Great info as always, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely incredible. Tried these exercises and felt almost instant relief of an impingement that I've been experiencing for weeks, and that I'd been doing more standard internal/external rotation and arm lift exercises to try and address without any improvement. Super excited to keep doing these and improve further!!
Nice work! Keep it up :)
This is the best video i have ever seen on shoulder rotator cuff pain. Had shoulder pain my entire life and has been progressing to bicep tendon pain. After doing these exercises got instant relief. Thank you so much ❤

I've been struggling with shoulder pain, specifically in my rotator cuff, for months. I happened to come across your video and decided to follow along with the exercises. The tightness has significantly reduced, and now I can lift my left arm without experiencing any tightness or pain. These exercises really work! Thank you!
This is so helpful! And also the form and quality of the video itself and the way you walk people through the exercises is fantastic.
Happy to help!

@@PrecisionMovementCoach I no longer have shoulder pain after training Muay Thai -- I continue to do exercises on here and your other videos as necessary, and before training. We are talking years of collagen buildup and issues--very bad kinetic chain imbalances. I also do other stuff but the majority if from your video(s).
Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time and effort to post this comprehensive guide and advice. I recently damaged my shoulder and through watching this video was able to self diagnose and treat a problem with my scapular position, 3 weeks in and I'm well on the way to a full recovery, just becoming able to complete the shoulder crossover circles you demonstrate, without pain! Fabulous! Thanks again.
Our pleasure!
During my 30 years as a Bering Sea fisherman, I never experienced shoulder or bicep pain. However, when I started working at a fast-paced bakery, I began to feel shoulder and bicep pain. My job involved stacking bread pallets onto a rolling dolly at a very fast pace, with the pallets reaching about 3 feet over my head. The pressure to stack the pallets quickly to avoid the bread ending up on the floor made me feel uneasy. Despite being used to enduring pain as a fisherman, I soon realized that I had arthritis in my shoulder joint. Additionally, I suffered a full tear in my rotator cuff tendon after falling while pushing my grandsons in a wheelbarrow. Although I don't attribute the pain to a single incident, I believe that lifting the bread pallets beyond my reach contributed to my need for treatment.
Wow.

I can't wait to try these. I theoretically tore my rotator cuff a month ago in a bad fall, but haven't been able to get in to see any PT, sports med doc, or even get an MRI due to no openings in all of Seattle (one general internist told me it's most likely a tear, but none of the referrals he made for me for PT have openings for months). It's time to take this recovery into my own hands since there is no medical care available in Seattle any more. Every person for themselves! Thank you for the video.

Thank you Coach E and Dr B, as a 63 yo retiree, I am still playing tennis 3-4x a week and riding/racing/coaching MTB bikes and off road motorcycles. I have a lifetime of overhead sports (baseball pitcher and tennis), but my rotator cuff has been bomber up until 3 weeks ago when I cartwheeled my dirtbike. Acute pain immediately, and difficulty/some pain when lifting my arm. Two days ago visited an Ortho clinic, prelim diagnosis was tear in supraspinatus, had a immediate orthorpeadic ultrasound with a confirmation of a 1/2cm partial tear in supraspinatus tendon of the rotator cuff. My tennis teaching professional suggested reviewing Coach E's youtube videos and I found and watched this one. I am doing home PT with the hope of being back to normal in 6-8 weeks with no surgery. Thank you again for the excellent video. I plan to continue to do easy MTB/road bike rides (no crashing allowed) and am working at developing the capability to play tennis with my non-dominate arm in the short run to scratch my itch of playing tennis during my two months of rehabbing the dominate arm. Cheers and Thank you. I am hoping for no surgery and no further crashing in the short term!

Glad I found your channel. A chiropractor taught me most of these exercises and others exercises for left sided upper back injuries involving my left arm, shoulder and lower cervical areas, several years ago; took me a little over 10 1/2 years to almost fully recover. The point is doing the exercises every day, and don't over do it. If you want to get back what you lost physically, do the exercises.

Can't wait to try these exercises. Thank you for such a clear, concise and positive video. My right shoulder is lower and slightly forward than the left - played squash years ago and my shoulder 'popped out' which I could push back into place, so to speak. I intuited standing against the wall doing the slow upwards motions but the other exercises I will do to hopefully better my posture and alignment. And thank you for sharing straightforward advice!

These are excellent, thank you!!!
Awesome!
I have a similar issue. We do charcoal studies at my art academy and my dominant arm is almost always in the air, drawing. Though I am also physically active, I find these "easy" activites that use the shoulder lightly for a long period of time to get me into pain.
@@Romearci that is not uncommon. Try to take as many micro-breaks as you can in an effort to reduce the overuse.

Oh wow the rehab and exercises and explanation on how the rotator cuff works and gets injured is right on point. You guys are pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!🙌👏
Happy to help!
Awesome video Coach E and Dr.B! I love that you always have unique exercises. I particularly loved the Shoulder Saver (extending the shoulder but going the opposite way with the scapula tilt to actively reduce anterior scap tilt--brilliant!). Not enough people talk about Serratus Anterior exercises to correct Anterior Scapula Tilt on RUclips. The Serratus Anterior (& Lower Trapezius working in conjunction to upwardly rotate the scapula & open up space in the shoulder) is the key to strong shoulders.

Thank you very much! I've had a misaligned shoulder for 20 years now, since I had injured it doing professional tennis at the time. I did all the adviced exercises daily for many years, but I think the misalignment only got worse. Since I have stopped doing intensive sports and stressing the shoulder since about 10 years, slowly the joint has become better. The past 2 years I started doing similar isometric exercises Dr. B showed in the video and that has made things get a lot better. I have better alignment in the neutral positions now but still problems when raising the arm over shoulder hight. I am going to try the exercises you showed, especially interested in the loosening of the back part of the capsula because I think that could be a main cause.
Thanks for following along and keep us posted on your progress :)

I had PT before I was to have surgery. I started having second thoughts about the surgery. I just was not ready to go through all that recovery pain!!! I basically bought every tool I was using in PT to do what I was being charged for every time I had PT. I didn’t want to pay for something I could do at home.

Curious. Once there is a tear, exercises aren't going to put it back. It will still be torn. I'm skeptical and don't want to injure it further by doing these exercises if I'm going to end up with surgery anyhow to do the repair. Exercises aren't going to put the tendon back where iit belongs will they?

great job! I had a shoulder dislocation some time back, I have visited a lot of different doctors and physiotherapists and I end up doing the exact exercises shown above! Really good wrap up video! Keep creating content!
Thanks!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!!!! Wonderful information!!!! As brutally painful as shoulder surgery is, I’m so happy to hear I will only need shoulder surgery if I have a total, full thickness tear showing on the MRI!!!!
I’m an Above Knee Amputee and I was coming into the house on my forearm crutches, from taking the dog outside last February, 2022.
My left leg is the one missing and my left crutch was wet from the snow and it slid quickly out to the side and down I went in a huge crash!!!!
My upper body fell onto my left elbow, which severely jacked my shoulder up and I believe it caused the upper rotator cuff tendon to tear!!!!
My VA doctor recommended an MRI and I am finally getting an MRI on both shoulders now since I have since damaged the right shoulder now as I have favored the left so much!!!
My right Rotator Cuff was reconstructed in October 2019. This is why I know how brutally painful the surgery is!!!
I would be super happy to be able to avoid surgery, but my body is telling me I will probably need the operation, as it is extremely painful to reach out to the left side to turn the bedroom lamp off or on. Anything straight out from my side in a raising motion is excruciatingly painful!!!!
I have an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. I have my two shoulder MRI’s the day after tomorrow on January 10th, 2023.
My VA Primary Care Provider has injected both shoulders about a month ago.
I’m anxious to learn whether I have a complete, full tear vs. a partial tear, which can possibly avoid an operation!!!!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed until I get the resulting information from the two MRI’s the day after tomorrow!!!!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information!!!!!!
You are welcome and thanks for watching :)
Awesome video, great explanation, and demonstration super informative, straightforward no-nonsense so happy I found it. I have been dealing with shoulder pain for over 2 years. Already started to put this into practice and am excited to see the result. Thank you
You are welcome!
Hw r u now?
I recently completed 6 months of Physical Therapy for what my MRI found was a “partial tear of the Glenoid Labrum.”
I had fallen on my shoulder in November, while running. My Physical Therapy was consistent and my recovery has been slow and steady. As a competitive runner who had always enjoyed body-weight exercises and strength training with dumbbells, I was unable to do many of the exercises due to my shoulder injury and felt I never would, having lost most of my upper body strength. That changed when I started following Eric and his Precision Training videos where I learned everything about ‘The Shoulder and Rotator Cuff injuries, and HOW to REHAB and STRENGTHEN the SHOULDER!! I mean ALL of Eric’s videos ( with Dr. Boynton, too.) I am happy to say my shoulder is getting stronger! I’m doing Eric’s specific exercises ( * 3 Keys to Rotator Cuff Tear…) and using 3# DB’s for basic strength exercises ( no lateral exercises yet.) I am thankful for Eric’s knowledge expertise, and Precision Movement!
That is awesome to read!

March 20, 2022: It’s been 4 months since I fell on my entire shoulder while running; I suffered a partial tear and thought I’d have to live with Posterior Capsular Impingement forever. This video in particular - and all of Precision Movement’s other Rotator Cuff rehab videos- are phenomenal! The explanations by the Orthopedic Surgeon and Eric are wonderful. I have no pain and I can start lifting Dumbbells - slowly but surely!
I love the way you explain shoulder pain vey I practical. I hope the education system will put in some of the exercise in the PE.
Wow, thanks!
This rotator cuff routine is incredible. I have been doing it for over 2 weeks now its been helping alot.
All the core muscles in my mid and upper spine are still to turn on and re-engage as my rotator cuff goes deeper into its gurdle. I have also been adding the Bicep Tendonities video with this routine as they go very well together.
On in between days I am doing your forward head posture routine. They all work great together. Definitely going to take one of your courses once things pop back into place. These exercises are also lengthening and strenghtening the spine for those with compression/damage anywhere there.
Do you have any routines for lower back and hip alignment?

Thank you so much for sharing all this information! 😊 I have a diagnosed partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus (from an acute injury that happened earlier this year) as well as impingement and tendinosis. I can do the cuff isometrics (and theraband exercises recommended by the PT I saw a few months ago), the standing robot reach and side lying external rotation (with light weight) with no problem/pain. However, when I do the 4S shoulder saver exercise - OUCH! It makes my impingement pain flare right up. I’m not sure why, especially since I’m careful to follow the instructions in the video, but I feel like since it’s painful to do it’s probably causing more damage. (Maybe I think I'm doing it correctly and I'm not?) Is it possible to rehab a strained rotator cuff without doing 4S (and the shoulder circle crossovers)? Thank you so much!
Thanks for following along!

Great suggestions! I have been dealing with these exact symptoms for 5 months now, and I have tried a few things, but nothing works long-term.
Massage helped for a day or two, but this looks like my long-term solution. Thanks.
You're welcome!
After a horrific accident, i thought i had whiplash because of pain in my neck, and i was stuck with my tilting to the right. The physical therapist identified my problem as rotator cuff damage and nerve damage in my mid back. 2 therapists worked on my shoulder for 2 hours and then I could my head up straight and regained some mobility in my neck. Now I go therapy twice a week.
Wow!
We are so happy that you are doing better now.
Did you try out the exercises?
