I have had rotator cuff problems for almost two years. My physical therapist had me do those exact three WRONG exercises and it did nothing for me. I have been losing sleep and just decided to look for more advice. After doing those exercises one night, I was able to sleep on both of my sides again. You are awesome!
No one appreciates a parrot in the room but, “me too”! I did two of the 3 correct ones )I can’t get on knees and wrists - arthritis 😒) as prescribed yesterday and I’m getting relief. Gotta keep up the good work! ❤️
Same here, did the wrong ones, felt "i stretch so it must help", but the pain in the night gets worser🤷♂️🤦♂️
Thank you for your exercise program
Will the cuff tears ever repair itself ? For example ligament tears, never fuse back itself. Tyvm
These are the exact exercises I have been doing without success! 😮
I thank the Lord I have found your videos, I have suffered pain for years (I am 83) you are the only person to explain everything in such a way, for the first time I know what to do and not to do, already I am having success x
I too had horrible long term shoulder, arm, lat pain. Did the wrong stretching and therapy all along. Did only your three exercises and immediately felt results. Three days later it is nothing short of a miracle to me. Thank you.
I have the same thing when I move my arm it pops
Best guy on the net knows his stuff , really helping me , and explains it in detail slow and precise
As someone that cannot afford Health Insurance... you are a true hero. I'm an ICU respiratory therapist and I know a hero when I see one. You are not a proficient MD. You are much much more. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. P.S. I never comment on videos but your videos are so excellent they compel me to do so.
It’s 2:00 am and I’m in severe pain. I can’t sleep. I’m def trying these exercises asap.
Hi Wonderlucha, that is terrible that the pain is causing you to lose sleep! It's concerning because when you sleep that is when your body does it's healing. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for caring enough to respond back. Im a middle school office supervisor and hurt my elbow by fixing 80 bulletin boards a couple of years ago. My shoulder and elbow were never the same after that week. The constant use of my shoulder stapling is the root cause however my shoulder pain has progressed to the point where I can barely move my arm. I woke up around 2am with my ring and pinky numb. It’s so painful. Is this bad?? I went to the workmans comp Dr on Monday and she gave me a lotion and salonpas. Dr said I didn’t need an x ray or MRI. Said only need PT and acupuncture but that was told they’d contact me. It’s been 3 agonizing days and no response from them. What do you recommend I do? I feel I wasn’t diagnosed correctly by just a visual of my arm.
Last night at 2am I was literally doing the exercises you recommended. -Luz
I’ve had this injury for almost 5mths and the 3 worse exercises are the ones I’ve been doing and every time I do them I feel worse but keep getting told to push on. I think my physio just using me as an ATM machine lmao
Thankyou for your clear wise care! 🙏
Excellent information! 💕
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Dude this helped me big time. Thank you!
Thanks, Doctor....
Thank you so much Sir
Out of the blues this week I started with acute pain in my left shoulder nothing worked, no ice , pain medicine, massage or muscle stimulation. It came without warning or reason , I suppose its old age as it was so painful that I couldn’t sleep, cook or get dressed without constant pain. I watched lots of videos and I try your routine with excellent results . In one day I got some improvement and in two day the pain was gone. I will continue with the 3 exercises and I am going to follow you for rehabilitation. Thanks you are great and I appreciate your videos. 5:21 February 10 2024.

Thank you!!!!!! Mil gracias!!!!
It's great and useful information, thank you so much Dr Manual.🙏🙏👏👏👏👌👌🌹🌸🌺🌻💐
I think you just saved the rest of my life-- (I hope!). Thank you!
Thank you so much. I appreciate you ❤
Ive been to pt also and they had me doing the 3 worst ones...from a novice perspective what he's saying and teaching makes sense...which is to exercise the shoulder without putting pressure on the outside of the shoulder or working it too hard or "stretching" it.
Thank you
Thx Doctor. I had RC surgery on my right shoulder 3 years ago, and I am now diagnosed with a partial tear on my left. I don't want the surgery again as it's such a slow process in healing and getting my strength back. I will start your exercise program. TY
I hurt and therefore I am grateful for your help.
Hi Crow Whisperer! WoW! 🤩 We are grateful for you! Thank you so much for your support! 🌟
No wonder, I felt like I got progressively worst at physical therapy. 2 of the 3 exercises, they had me to do. 😠! Thank you for showing a better way to heal
😊 trying your exercises they have help me out alot . Thankyou so much
Thank you for this video. Great information
Glad it was helpful!
Been having this problem since last 10 years approx.
Understood the problem and the anatomy. Also the good and the bad exercises for the issue. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thanks to you and your team.
Hey Bimal! Glad to hear the explanations of these exercises were helpful! :-) Here are some suggestions that could help:

Oh my gosh. Wonder I've not been healing and in this brutal pain soaring in my rotator cuff for over two months, waking me three times during the night. Waiting for an injection with me being told, i need an operation. Don't want one. However, I've been thinking i might go ahead, until i saw your video.
Going to do these exercises several times a day and more.
I do believe that you've saved me from brutal pain.
Yours hopeful.❤😊
Thank you so much for these videos! I have been unable to sleep without arm & shoulder pain for 18 months! I had an MRI that shows a near full thickness tear of the supraspinatus in the rotator cuff And the orthopaedic doctor wants to do surgery. I have never been shown these exercises before by any physiotherapist and I will immediately start doing them!
Thankyou❤
I wish your videos were available long ago, I had my right shoulder Rotator cuff operated on twice 7 years ago which good now, and my left shoulder injured after a hard fall, MRI indicated a tear on left side. I am benefiting from these exercises, the right shoulder is getting stronger while the right side is healing. I have also watched your other videos.
Thank you.
Thank you SO much, and thanking Lilly as well for helping. I'm SO glad to know the bad ones, as I've been encouraged to do them. I began, and in most situations I did not do them at home. I'm going to start doing those "good" exercises tonight, and into tomorrow and ongoing until my MRI schedule comes up. I definitely do not want to have surgery done. Overall mine does not appear to be serious, as I started with dry needling and could tell I was improving. My initial thought was it may be inflammation. Anyway, thanks again!
Thank you for making these videos! Your truly God-send!! Bless you!!

Absolutely right i increased my problem by doing those worst exercises but realised very early.
After doing only the first good exercise I felt the pain going away towards the end of it and recovered some of my shoulder motion w/o pain, I'm gonna do the other 2 excercises and make it a daily routine. Thank you so very much!
❤
Boy, I hope those work! Been dealing with shoulder pain after falling on it for three months. And yes, my PT at work gave me the Wrong exercise!
Took your advice wow wow you fix me bad bad pain in shoulder work ❤❤

Going to try this thanks
Let us know how it goes!
I can’t believe I was taught the 3 worst exercises by my PT!! No wonder my shoulder is not healing!!
This video was an absolute godsend. 6 months of dealing with a weird pain doing pushups and chest press with dumb bells. Pain was in middle deltoid. I was doing all 3 wrong ones. Wow
Thanks!
You are very welcome, Joe! We really appreciate your support!
Love the awkward row. But was helpful🎉
I’m 64 years old, have always been very active, and I’ve been dealing with rotator cuff issues for several years. I had surgery on my left shoulder a year ago. He is exactly right about the exercises physical therapists have you do I am trying to heal my right shoulder without surgery because it was extremely hard on the muscles of my upper back, not being able to move and stretch like I normally do. I highly recommend watching all of his videos and following the exercises he recommends. I can tell in my body those are exactly the muscles that need to be strengthened. Thank you so much for providing this material!

Will definitely try these exercises. I haven’t been to the gym in six months because the pain got so bad and I almost passed out. Was trying to build up the muscles. Pretty sure I’ve got damage in both rotator cuff. Will definitely be trying this. I think the right one already got better from Switching tasks to the left arm. Thanks in advance.
You, sir, are a Godsent! (just subbed)

WOW those 3 were given to me by therapist for left shoulder issue I had NOT sure they helped seemed like got well with me doing nothing. I now have probably slight tear on right shoulder from tennis. Its gotten better but still bothers me on high backhands and a few types of weight lifting. I was doing some those INCORRECT and no help. I will give these 3 exercises a shot THANKS bunch
I wish this video came out 9 years ago when I tore my rotator cuff.. that injury completely changed my life cause it was undiagnosed, I wasn't told to get an mri or anything, and because I was only 19 years old I just listened to the Dr when he said just go home and it will heal. And it did. But it stopped me from doing ant upper body movements for over 5 years. Only recently have I been able to workout without pain.
Wow--I had two muscles reattached to my shoulder in '07. In rehab therapy my therapist had me do the exercises that you said NOT to do. I did those exercises religiously about 3 times a day. It took me 10 month to heal. Thank goodness my shoulder is okay today.
Of course my other shoulder has an impingement and tear and feels like is coming out of place now. :(
Thanks for your videos I have been watching your ACL tear no surgery. Take care
Thanks for the information. I began doing the cat position (the position on your hands and knees) a while ago. It was amazing the difference it made! In the beginning I felt my shoulders were out of balance and my bad shoulder was weaker and shorter than the good side. Now both shoulders are strong and I no longer feel one side is shorter than the other. Still working on other exercises though.
I no longer have constant pain (mainly due to the cat position) but am working now on getting mobility back.
Great!
Thank you Gerrie! 🙌
Great information videos, I've been doing these exercises for a few weeks and I have much better mobility in my shoulder now, but I also have a problem with the subscapularis and one of the worst exercises for the supraspinatus is the one that I have been recommended for the subscapularis. How can one address both problems with exercises that is helpful for the supraspinatus and the subscapularis? Thank you and greetings from Spain.
You’re probably the best physio out there.. your exercises are amazing, but ironically, I discovered the second one by myself when trying to work through some stretches that gave me relief. So I can definitely say your exercises seem to make a lot of sense. I have cervical herniation but I also have some soreness around my right deltoids.. I’m not sure if it’s tendonitis or tear or what, but it’s usually pain when I’m doing heavy gym only. But your exercises are starting to prove to be very helpful and my pain is almost going away. Thank you so much!
Hope I would be healed!

As a medical massage therapist, I find your videos the most helpful yet! Question: The first three "don't do" exercises are used for after surgery, but not for a tear not yet treated. Is that correct? Thanks so much for showing the "to do" exercises. I have many folks come in with shoulder issues (pre surgery) and your professional experience and advice are much appreciated. :)
both shoulders riled up after working hard in the yard for a week. Didnt hit me till about 3 weeks later and holy crap what did I do!! now i know now and these by far are instant relief!! i am amazed after 5 months of dealing WITH THE SLEEPLESS NIGHT AND PAIN...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You are very welcome Dave! We are so happy to hear that you got instant relief from this! Thank you for checking in and letting us know that this worked for you!
I been. Doing rows . My mri said I have e cervical spyndnois. Watched your videos. I feel your shoulder labrum video explains my pain and feelings most. I get pops,grind, and it'll catch when I reach for something . You got a rehab for labrum tears? I just saw diagnostics.
Cool
Dude
I have pain on my left shoulder started in March of 2023, still having pain and trouble with sleeping on my left shoulder and reaching behind my back. I had a MRI done in April 27, 2023. The MRI shows two minor tears; a low-grade interstitial tearing of the supraspinatus tendon (mild subscapularis tendinopathy) and moderately attenuated and partially torn intra-articular biceps tendon. Also have small cystic focus adjacent to the lesser tuberosity and abutting the biceps and subscapularis tendon measuring 0.8 x 0.6 cm likely a small ganglion cyst. I started PT in May of 2023 for 3 months the pain seemed to stay the same or a little worst. My PT had me do the 3 worse exercise you described in your video, plus other exercises. Medicare stop paying for the PT, so I continue the exercise at home and stop playing golf, my shoulder pain seems to get worse. So I decide to stop the exercise and went saw a second orthopedic doctor for a second opinion. He suggest a cortisone shot and anti inflammatory drug for 10 days (I am on my 7th day of taking the drug). It did help a bit with the pain, but still have mild pain when sleeping on my shoulder and pain when reaching behind my back. I am trying to avoid surgery at all cost. So I will start the exercises you suggest in this video to see if will help. Any other suggest you can give me, would be appreciated. I glad I found this video.
I’ve been doing the exact wrong exercises no wonder I’m still healing…Thank you
Myself as well
What about use of a TENS device? What positions etc?
Yes ! I avoided everything by taking your advice
Wohooo!! Thanks for sharing this with us Mike!! Keep us posted!
Hello, I have confirmed (MRI’s & X-ray’s) of two complete rotator cuff tear on both my shoulders. Two doctors advised me for a total replacement which I both refuse and to defer later on. Lately I have been having pain on my shoulders and neck. I tried the trigger point procedure to my neck and seems it helped. Now I need help relieving pains on my shoulders. Should I do the impingement exercises or the rotator cuff exercises. I’m not sure which one to use or maybe use both and hoping for your advice. Thank you for all your videos and helpful advice.
Another excellent video!
Would the three good exercises be useful for frozen shoulder? Haven’t had an MRI yet, but impossible to move you arm behind the back, reach overhead… Etc.
😊
Hi what exercises u revommend for bad shoulder pain from 2 years did many treatnents nothing worked got shoulder inpingment ac joint paint swwlling undera. Arm cant lift arm fully
My physiotherapist had me doing external & internal band extensions for a 60% rotor tear the pain the next day was excruciating thanks for your advice I’m trying your system now cheers from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Hi Lineman, we are so sorry to hear about the excruciating pain that you experienced when working with your physiotherapist! The pain is challenging to get through and hope you feel some relief trying out techniques. We have a playlist for rotator cuff tear help in case you are interested. You can access it here:

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
If things start to feel better we do have a Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery program that can be used to progress your recovery but try the playlist first and see how you feel.
Thank you for joining us all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪🧡
We wish you all the best in your road to recovery! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy your reply means a lot, ESB lineman for 42 years I’m 62 now and retired due to electrical accident/ injury will keep you posted on my progress God bless you all 🇨🇮
I guess I'll try alternating these exercises with your shoulder impingement exercises? Because im still not sure what i have
My both hips arthritis pain is gone. I exercise my glutes the way you recommend and I walk wit my “toes grabbing” motion. The pain is gone!! Thank you Dr David, you really know what you are talking about. Now I’m working on my left knee minor pain with swinging and foot rotation exercises. I expect the pain to be gone soon. You are great. Please make a video about hanging exercises. I have minor pain in my right shoulder and I saw a video about hanging exercises to ease the pain. It wasn’t done by you. I only believe in your pain relieving exercises and I hope to see the hanging exercise done by you
His exercises are the best.
In your video you mention we can download the book. I do not see a link for the book.
Can you do 1kg weights if pain on the rotator cuff tear resolved.
I have been doing physical therapy for 3 months for neck and shoulder stiffness and pain. My therapist had me doing those exact exercises you said can make it worse. Now i know why it is getting worse not better. Thank you for your advise!
Hey Linda! We are so sorry to hear that the exercises that your therapist had you do only made things worse for you and resulted in more pain and stiffness.

I was diagnosed with SLAP tear bout 5 years ago. I have been feeling a click and an abnormal way my bicep and arm has been feeling for like 20 years people thought I was crazy when I told them I got X-ray nothing showed then finally got mri. Did physical therapy never helped because the physical therapist would just give me exercises and not really explain what I’m trying to do as build the muscle back. But the first 3 exercises a lot of pt recommend those but never helps I’ll try yours. I just want my feeling back in my right side It doesn’t hurt I’m lefty and the slap tear is on my right I used to be a pitcher when I was kid and I would play throw with my right and then I would feel the pain but never thought nothing. I was gonna do surgery but got scared cause everybody that did surgery regretted it.

I've had shoulder pain forever. And when I started lifting again, it started to hurt again (bench press). So I had seen someone doing the first one you showed us here, at the gym. I though I could do that as a warm up to avoid pain. Oh boy, that was soooo paiful. I can totally attest to it being the wrong thing to do.

I've hurt my shoulder 3 weeks ago. An orthopedic doctor is leaning towards rotator cuff tear. I've started doing the first exercise a few days ago and it seems to be helping (at first, the range of motion was quite limited but now it's getting better). I followed the instructions and always stopped at the angle when it begun to hurt, though. Could you say when it hurt you (during or after this exercise, when lifting?)

When I tried the first exercise, I had too much pain attempting it. I had to put the pillow much further under my (right) scapula in order to accomplish the windshield motion without pain. Am I doing a bad thing in putting that pillow under that scapula? I really want to avoid surgery. I appreciate your expertise so very much!
Do you have any videos on thoracic outlet syndrome? I've made the mistake of doing the doorway stretches and I realise now how disastrous it is. It literally drives the ribs into the collarbone. My rotator cuff is weak but the usual exercises like you mention here always just ramped up the grinding and damage.
I have a winging shoulder plus subluxation of the joint and it makes it really difficult. I'm trying to feel how to drive my shoulder blade forwards into the ribs via the serratus, to stop the winging, while keeping the joint itself back to stop it popping out.
Almost everything I see simplifies the shoulder mechanism and I've been alternating between going forwards and backwards too simplistically, without feeling the difference between the roles of each part. Do you have any video for a winging shoulder with a joint that also pops out of place when going forwards? I keep changing between different things without quite finding the thing that works consistently for all issues. I think I'm getting closer by pulling only the shoulder joint back while pushing the shoulder blade forwards and around.
i really like your videos,, im 55 male very active and about 9 months a go i got a Mri,it says i have a 1.5 cm partial thickness bursal surface tear it extends the length of the length of the tendon and the Myotendinous region,no full thickness tear is seen,,,do you think it will heal on its own? or do i need surgery?? thank you..
When you mention rowing, does rowing on a rowing machine do the same thing? On there the hands are palm down, but I assume it’s the same anyway? I ask because I love my rowing machine.
Where r u?? They want to do a replacement joint bs!! I’ll fly out to see u!! It’s been 15 wks now n I can’t sleep and will do anything for relief!!
how do i get the guide?
I have both shoulder partial tear, what is the best exercise for me but I have good rotation except my muscles weak.
I’ve done all the exercises that you said were wrong for years…I did your exercises and I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not but my pain is 80% gone in one day…I’m shocked!!
So are you says that if I strengthen the muscles I can possibly avoid getting surgery on my possibly rotator cuff tare.🤞
this seems very legit its too bad they don't have a camera person or professional editor
Will deadlifts effect my shoulder while its healing?
What's frustrating is that here we have a lot/most recommending the "3 bad" ones... I had rotator cuff tear and did physio therapy and they were among the top 10 ones suggested.. And here it's recommended against them. How's possible these shoudler experts giving the wrong exercises all along? Random youtube videos is one thing, but established physio keep recommending them is another... I've been having shoulder pain from partial tear over the years that keeps reappearing.. I'm scheduled for another MRI due to recent months pain. Perhaps another factor is age, mid 60s here, where years long damage has caused enough damage... thanks for your videos!
When rounding back like a cat, we should activate the serratus ant., but often do not actually get this muscle engaged fully. The result seems to be, we caretake for the motion and action it caretake, but without engaging the muscle sufficiently.
Focus driving the movement with the elbow, which is kept close to body and arm ext.rotated in motion, seems to work for me, as well as let the arm raise to top of ribcage to gain freedom for free movement and then be stabilized by muscle vs. seeking support by contact on the ribcage.
Previously I had trouble in shoulder in chestexercises, but these days no more at all.
When serratus ant. make a contrast in moving rotator cuff, it allows rotator cuff to be steered much more correctly and as evolved to and all is kept better aligned; BUT they have to work in coordination. To learn this is mindfullness in action.
When we pull with the rotator cuff it is very beneficial to pull against the action of the serratus ant. as a contrast. It really aligns all great.
...to learn to keep the bones in the shouldersocketjoint correctly aligned is really beneficial.
Well said TheTwsa! Great insight into the details of the shoulder blade and rotator cuff movement!
I have been doing your suggested exercises for a couple of months on a regular basis. I feel they have helped. The pain in my shoulder returns after any exercise or sports activity.
Do you have other recommendations or maybe a suggestion of who to see in my area??
Thanks!
No answer?
I have had shoulder problems for more than 4 years. Always can’t sleep at night. Can I do these exercises doctor? Both of my shoulder painful. This is one of my shoulder’s report.
Thank you so much.
Local swelling and increased signal without discrete partial tear in the supraspinatus (ie tendinosis), mainly mid and anterior, with moderate bursal reaction and underlying enthesial cysts and low grade bone marrow oedema. Lateral downslope of the acromion. Moderate bursal effusion.
Yet to start on the exercises.
I separated my shoulder years ago on Martial Arts. Now more than 20 years later. It has started to bother me. Will these exercises help me. I never get surgery to repair the Separated shoulder.
How long do you recommend doing this though? So is it everyday until we’re healed?
