I was diagnosed with shoulder strain from doing dumbell flys. How long usually does soreness last? 4-6 weeks? I'm using bands..Do these 3-4 exercises are enough or more exercises with bands the better?@@painfixprotocol
Absolutely fabulous content!
Thanks so much, Janice!
Awesome video doc!! Very informative!!
Thanks a lot, ChiroPaul! Glad you liked it!
Thank you! These are helpful.

It worked! I found some thing feeling locked up in my scapula, and as I work, those stretches the pain in my front shoulder went away.
That's fantastic, Andy! So glad this was helpful for you!
I cannot believe this instant relief I felt when I did these movements!!! I'm in a believer and subscriber! You were clear, concise and easy to understand. I wasn't confused by what you were saying! I'm here and will be watching all your videos to get myself together!!! Dr Yoni is our here to doing the work!!!!

I'll try it tomorrow. Thank you so much
You're most welcome, Vlad! I hope it's helpful for you.
Great exercises, thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Chris! I'm glad they are helping you!
Yes please Dr Yoni - your digital family member would love to see more shoulder pain relief exercises. I have been in shoulder pain for at least 7 years. I know my left shoulder is in a rounded forward position which causes poor alignment when walking resulting in chronic shoulder, upper Thoracic, low back pain and sacrum pain pain. I do have your head l lb weight which I am working on to bring head back. I am truly, truly grateful for all you do for your Digital family and I will be incorporating your shoulder workout to help me “get out of Pain”. Laura in Toronto
Cheers Laura! Rest assured I've got lots more content in the works. I really appreciate your kind words and support!
Bless you feeling little better 🤗🤗
So glad it helped!
The last few months I was having bad pains in left shoulder. Thought it was RTC tear this whole time.
I was "hanging" which helped, however, today I tried these exercises. I can't believe how much it helped like 1000% just the first time while in gym. Something opened up and feels like the "impingement" was subdued or minimized and I went thru my workout feeling great with little to no pain.
THANK YOU FOR THESE EXERCISES!!
That is AWESOME!!!
I'm so happy this content helped you out!
Tank you Dr.Yoni.
You're most welcome!
Awesome movements Dr.
Much appreciated!
Thank you so much its really very helpful
You're welcome!
wow I have fibro and chronic pain.. your exercises are really helpful.. it gets to the root of my shoulder neck pain..
That's fantastic! I'm so glad these are helping you!
I can’t believe this! Thank you so much. I’ve been in pains for so long with my left shoulder and I just felt a lot of relief after doing the last exercise in particular.
Fantastic, Emmanuel! So glad it helps!
Thank you doc
Most welcome!
Thank you Dr. Whitten! I’m suffering from shoulder pain and your exercises are very helpful.
So glad this was helpful for you!
If there's a different shoulder problem that you'd like to see a video about, please leave your suggestion in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
I've had shoulder issues for many years. It comes and goes. The inflammation of the shoulder prevents me from having full mobility and I'm only 41 yrs old. Also, my neck gets tensed and I often feel I have to crack it. (Right shoulder). This video helped quite a bit. Any other stretches or suggestions for me? Thank you very much in advance!
@@andylaz.83 you might not have a different problem than the one already addressed here.. but check with a doctor to make it clear, what type of problem you might have; also look for general exercises for correction of posture and recovering from shoulder impingement, either here or from other creators on the topic, or other trainers outside the yt realm. one name comes to my mind : "Precision movement" channel, might already be in the related videos here..
i had a similar need after injuring my shoulder in my mid 30's (i am 41 as well), i tried those kind of exercises in addition to isometric hanging (activating back, lats.. not necessarily turning it into pull ups movement), you can go gradual at it (not full weight directly), you can start at an accessible angle (helped by you feet), according to how bad is your current state. whatever you try, start with lowest intensity, so you "catch" yourself before doing harm with some weird angle of action...

I echo what other people wrote. I had been dealing with a shoulder with limited movement for the past month. Upon doing your exercises, I experienced a 90% immediate improvement. I also appreciate the knowledge regarding my posture as I think this might have caused the issue in the first place. Hope your work can reach more and more people that may be in need (and in pain) around the globe. Thank you.
Thank you for kind words & support! I'm happy this has helped you so much!
Wow it worked within five days thank you for this video
That's fantastic, Dave! Cheers!
Thank you so much, Dr Yoni! I will do these exercises!Been struggling with shoulder impingement since last year..
Hope this information helps you to feel & move much better!
Thank you sooo much! Your video and one other helped me out so much! After months of being in pain I found you and did the exercises and tips over the course of a few weeks (some exercises more than others a few days per week) and my pain is 100% gone.
This is awesome, Ginger! Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love hearing stories like this - you made my day!
Thank you for the insightful and enjoyable video on Shoulder Impingement! I've personally experienced this issue before, unknowingly overworking my shoulder during a project involving painting, wall sanding, and heavy lifting. Initially, I disregarded the mild discomfort, trying to soldier on with my other arm (which turned out to be a big mistake). However, the pain escalated drastically by the second day, making any movement unbearable. Upon consulting a doctor, I was diagnosed with medium to severe inflammation in my neck, trap, and rear shoulder areas, necessitating painkillers and cortisone injections. I subsequently dealt with intermittent inner-joint discomfort, fearing it might be a permanent issue.
I'm now visiting Dr. Yoni's stretching advice and revisiting other resources to share simple steps with my mom until I can assist her personally. Since incorporating shoulder, lats, chest, and back stretches into my life routine, my shoulder issues have thankfully vanished. Additionally, using a handgun massage tool and various stretching techniques using the floor, wall, and door frame has significantly improved my range of motion. I've come to understand the importance of full-body stretching and maintaining an overall range of motion, particularly for those who work out, as tight muscles and restricted mobility can lead to such problems. Thank you again for the invaluable insights, and I wish everyone a swift recovery!

Thank you Dr. Good, solid, reasonable exercises. I have tried others, this seems to help.
You're welcome, Jeff! Glad to hear they're helping you!
Great useful video
Absolutely this is my biggest problem. Can’t sleep on my shoulder can’t move as much as I want. But I will start working today. Let see the results come up.
Hope it's helpful for you!
How it working out for you?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
thank you, it was amazing exercise
Glad it helped you!
I did these excercises now watching the vídeo. I would like more vídeos about shoulder and back problems! Thank you and God bless...
More to come, Jose!
Gobsmacked! you summarised everything that was wrong with me in the first minute or so. I have been telling my Doctors that I thought a lot of the problem was caused by poor body posture. I am elderly, worked in a stooped position for years over a computer, have rounded shoulders with a forward head position and a lack of strength in my upper arms and shoulders. I am diabetic so my tendons are not in best shape anyway. Not one of these exercises has been mentioned to me. I have had this for over 6 months and have difficulty sleeping so I shall definately try these for a couple of months 😀and report back. Thank You
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you, Noel!
I hope this information helps you to move with greater ease.
Hows it going ?
Thank you so much❤
You're most welcome, Cheryl!
Well explained and demonstrated
Many thanks!
Wow... Thanks.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video. Tq Doctor.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow really helpful
I'm so glad!
Thank you. I can feel a difference in pain from just following you through the video as you did it. I have been miserable for 2 weeks. I’m hoping these exercises will help. The band is helping my hurt shoulder be able to complete the rotations. My healthy shoulder is able to pull up the injured while using it. I can see how the simple use of a band makes so much sense. How it aided the hurt shoulder gave me an aha moment.
You're welcome. I'm so glad this video provided an "aha" moment for you!
God bless you.Expecting many more problems to be solved
Thanks so much! Glad this was helpful!
Thank you doctor 👍
You're welcome, Muhammad!
Thank you so much! I’ve been dealing with shoulder pain for a year and gave up even going to PT 😭 I had no idea that it wasn’t normal to stand with the back of my hands facing front. I know I have bad posture and have been sitting in a reclined position in bed a lot because I got used to it after an abdominal surgery.
So glad this video was helpful for you, Robyn! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Great information, Yoni. I underwent physical therapy for my shoulders a few years ago, but it didn't seem to effect much. Even after only one round of your exercises, judging solely on how it impacted my shoulders, it appears that your therapy will be more effective. Thank you, sir.
That's fantastic! I'm so glad this video is helpful!
Thank you so much it gives me help to my shoulder
So glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Thanks! Instant relief :)
That's great, Willem! Cheers!
@@painfixprotocol do you recommend doing these once or even twice a day? Thanks ;)
Just what I needed - I’ve been struggling with my left shoulder. I can still lift upwards but anything out to the side is so painful😩 I’ll definitely start these exercises - THANK YOU!🙏🏼

Thankyou for these videos. I have had pain in my upper arm, neck, for a few months. Like you mentioned, I can’t sleep on that arm. I also feel a small knot on the bicep area. I will be doing these today.
You're welcome! I hope it helps!
I feel the Same knot in the bicep with extreme pain . Did these exercises relieve your pain ?
I suffered from major shoulder pain since October. Did this for a month and now the pain is gone. Thank you!
That's fantastic, George! I'm really happy to hear this was so helpful for you!
After a complete shoulder replacement suffered from shoulder impingement. Surgeon not helpful and went 3 years to pt. It's better but not normal. Will try these exercises.
Sorry to hear of your challenges, Pamela. I hope 1 or 2 of these are helpful for you!
Thank you for the many well explained healing videos you make for us. My impingement occurs when my arm moves behind me, as in the 1st exercise. I do the 1st with a set up aiming for no discomfort. Thoughts on where the shoulder weakness might be. Cheers.
Thanks for your kind words, Alison! Pain with reaching behind you is very common with shoulder impingement. Unfortunately, without an examination it's difficult to say exactly which structure are affected. However, skipping that 1st movement may be a better option for you.
My shoulder is messed up...could be impingement or torn rotator.... I will give your tips a try and see what happens.
Great thorough explanation
Sorry to hear about your injury! I have a whole playlist dedicated to the shoulder and there may be something in there that can help you - ruclips.net/p/PL1rO7vW04HUBscJklj1g7Ji-gz8a1Dllu
Ive had shoulder impingement for the last 5 months .due to being on crutches after a knee replacement .ive had physio .a course of celebrex .and a steroid injection. The only thing this all did was to get rid of the stabbing pains .then i saw this and decided to give it a go i could only do the first 2 but could feel an immediate difference !! I could lift my arm !! Its achy this morning but i will be continuing with this .maybe in time i willbe able to do the 3rd one thankyou for this🎉😄
This is great news! 🙌 I'm so glad this video was helpful for you!!!
This is the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen. Provided immediate relief of pain from impingement in both of my shoulders after the first set. The pain did return later in the day. Hopefully the relief will be long lasting over the next few weeks as I continue to perform these exercises consistently. Question I have is how many times a day should this routine be performed?
So glad it was helpful! The number of times per day will vary from one individual to the next. But I would typically start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no soreness (from the exercises).
Thanks man 😊 you superb.i am suffering due to Gym wrong posture but you make me 🫡🫡🫡
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Thank you! Bless you! I haven't been able to do half of the shoulder exercises due to shoulder pain. I thought it was arthritis and that it's just the way things are now. Then I did this routine and two days later the pain is all but negligible!
That's wonderful, Rome! So glad this was helpful for you!
AC joint and Labrum tear rehab without surgery would be great Doc!
Good suggestions! Thanks ABPK!
Dr. Whitten, I had long head muscle tear in my left arm since last year. I've tried all kind of Impingement, shoulder pain exercises in in last 12 months. And I've learned to just live with the pain. I seen a specialist back when it first happened. And he said there was no concern for X - rays or a MRI's. I'll give myself 4 weeks of your exercise a try. I'm hoping for some kind of relief. Thank You, Chris
Sorry to hear of your injury, Chris. The rehab protocol for a muscle tear in the long head of the biceps is very different from a shoulder impingement protocol. If you're still in significant pain, 12 months after the tear - having tried multiple conservative treatment options - then imaging is absolutely warranted (and overdue at this point).
Thank you for the advise Dr. Whitten, Have a safe day. Chris
Even if you dont suffer from shoulder impingement, these are also great warm-up exercises before working out with weights.
Absolutely right, Nexus!
Excellent. I'm going swimming now.
So glad it was helpful, Terry!
External shhoulder rotation has been a weak point of mine for ages. Its best to address it while you are still young as its a real pain to fix when you are old lol. Widening the grip width on the shoulder roll exercise brings the band closer to the back of my head to the point where i risk scalping myself :)
You're absolutely right, John. As the saying goes "An ounce of prevention..." Careful with that grip though, scalping is not necessary to get good results 😄
Shoutout the algorithm for this
Much appreciated, Kam!
Yea this has happend too me. I strained my lower trapezius muscle wile back and was told i was fine to go back too the gym and wile i stopped gpkng the gym for sure i litterally didnt do much moving. So now after 8 weeks of being back at the gym my left shoulder has inpingment. :( gutted is understatment. I believe that maybe my shoulders was taking more of the load seen as my back was injured. Im surpised at this my shoulders are my strongest muscle group. If I do lateral raises it hurts on the way back down and clicks alot
Sorry to hear about your injury! I know how you feel. Here's a couple resources that may be helpful for you: ruclips.net/video/VaIcT2vFgcU/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/ZoewmAX-vFU/видео.html
ill try this , im in pain for weeks every time i reach my back.. hope this helps
Hope it's helpful for you!
Shoulder instability would be great.
It's a good suggestion. Thanks, Andres!
Great video and explanation quick question how often should I do this per day
So glad you enjoyed it! The number of times per day will vary from one individual to the next. But I would typically start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no soreness (from the exercises).
I just did this once and pain gone😊
That's AWESOME, @verykekker!!!
@@painfixprotocolcan this be done without using a band?
@@zain4915 Yes, but it will be much more effective as outlined here with a band.
@@painfixprotocol The 2nd one helped, so can one skip the first and last until they feel stronger?
@@DDumbrille Absolutely! Feel free to use what works for you and disregard the rest.
Thank you for this video.
2 questions:
How often should I do this exercises a day?
Is it better before or after the weight workout?
Thank you so much 😊
You're welcome, Philip! The weekly volume will vary from one individual to the next. A good rule of thumb is to find a volume that creates an increase in functionality without causing any fatigue or soreness afterwards.
Importantly, for best results we would modify workouts to remove any movements that may be contributing to the shoulder condition. Once that's been done, the before or after question becomes much less significant. What's most important is that it gets done with regularity.
Thank you for this video. I think this is my problem so I'm going to try these exercises for a couple months as you suggest. However, if you happen to read this, can you please let me know if the following description of my particular issue sounds like this video does indeed apply to it?
My issue: If I throw something small very hard with my right hand, my right shoulder will hurt immediately and it will take several days to return to "normal". The same pain can be caused by doing certain repetitive motions for 20+ minutes with my right hand (sanding wood by hand or playing the electric guitar). When it's in a "normal" state, certain movements are still uncomfortable and can cause a grinding/popping feel/sound. The movement that causes the grinding/popping starts with my right hand in front of my sternum, elbow raised to be parallel with the floor, and with my thumb pointing at my sternum. Then if I raise my elbow up and slighly to the right (my thumb changes from parallel to the ground to pointing down a bit), the pain/grinding/popping occurs. The other scenario that causes pain but not grinding is if my hand is at my side with palm facing out and I raise my arm straight out in front of me. This only happens if there is resistance as I raise my arm.
Hard to say for certain without an examination. These symptoms could be caused by several different things.
Summary of workout and frequency:
2x Band assisted shoulder extension 10-15sec, attemp higher two more times for 10-15 sec.
2x Double hitchhiker 10-15 reps
1x shoulder rolls 15-25 total reps
Do this once a day for 4-6 weeks. Twice a day if you can work up to it.
Thanks for the summary!
In the beginning of the video I found myself nodding as this is precisely what I am experiencing. But, my impingement has progressed to bringing numbness and fire-like pain in my hand that radiates up my arm when I sleep. I am unable to sleep as there does not seem to be any position to place my arm where it does not go numb and painful (i.e. support with pillows, sleeping on my back, etc.). I can hardly make a fist when I first wake up and can do so with some effort during the day. I am not sure I am able to do some of the exercises you suggest given I can barely lift my arm overhead but I will try. I have had several shoulder impingements over the years where PT and exercises like you suggest worked, but I was not experiencing anything like I am now. I guess chalk it up to age...
Sorry to hear about your shoulder/arm. Without an examination it's not possible to say for certain but, it sounds like there's more happening here than just impingement. I would strongly recommend seeing a qualified practitioner in your area for a thorough assessment.
Thanks. I am scheduled for an appointment with a rheumatologist in case this is RA. Otherwise not sure who to consult with. My primary physician says what I am experiencing is classic nerve impingement. He has ordered blood work in case of Lyme disease and MRI of my cervical spine. Desperate for a diagnosis as suffering and not sleeping
@@dmoro67Glad you're following up. A thorough physical exam - assessing structure, function & neuro) would be able to rule out the most common causes of these type of problems.
I have left shoulder pain and it’s becoming chronic. Will try this exercises, I hope it works
Hope it helps, Viola! Don't forget to check out the rest of the videos in my Shoulder Playlist - ruclips.net/p/PL1rO7vW04HUBscJklj1g7Ji-gz8a1Dllu
Thanks a lot for the info Dr. Yoni!🙏 First day started doing this exercise! keep u up to date for results. How many times a day can I do that?
You're welcome. The number of times per day will vary from one person to the next. Typically, I will start with with 1x/day and slowly increase to twice or even three times a day - as long as there is functional improvement and no additional soreness (from the exercises).
@@painfixprotocol 🙏
Thank you for this video - unlike others, you explain the cause of shoulder pain, which for me is important. In the exercises that you show, can I use a rope instead of a resistance band?
You're welcome, Carlos! Using a resistance band is important as the stretch will help accommodate (or even create) a greater range of motion.
