​@@petermelnyk7664 Lots of targeted, gentle exercise. Pilates twice a week with an excellent instructor one-on-one and exercises from a physiotherapist. Shoulder shrugs, shoulder circles, 'snow angels' lying on my back, gentle stretches, gentle weight (500gr to 1kg max) exercises like standing and pulling a resistance band or springs in a backward motion with my arms tucked in at my waist, and the one which helped the most I will try and describe next. I used my kitchen bench. I bent over it on my good side and rested myself on it. I let my bad shoulder arm dangle towards the ground while holding a small weight and letting it gently swing. From memory I began at 1kg weight and eventually increased it to 2kg but no more. I did this a few times everyday and my progress seemed to really improve after this exercise was added to my routine. I wanted a cortisone injection after putting up with pain for 18 months but my doctor refused to give it to me, until I'd got to the root cause as to why it was happening (my poor computer posture I think). She gave me 6 months to really give it everything to get better before allowing me to have the cortisone injection. After 5 months there was noticeable improvement and then one day I just noticed I was pain free! It takes time but it can be fixed with commitment to doing the necessary exercises. I also improved my diet to reduce foods which caused inflammation and limited my computer and phone use to just the essentials. Good luck with it.

@@eldee1628 How would that help an inflamed bursa? Surely it would just irritate it. I've tried massage before and I end up in agony.

I had bursitis in the shoulder for about 6 years. Physio, chiro, cortisone injection, nothing worked. I eventually forced my shoulder back by doing chest stretches, but hard. I had to overextend my shoulder backwards, with a bit of a 'pop' happening. I immediately got overwhelming relief. From then on my shoulder sat better and chest muscles loosened up. Really consider that there could be a minor misalignment. All these videos talk about "stretching" so the shoulders don't pull forward, but it can definitely be an alignment issue that you can put back. I still get my shoulder trying to roll forward sometimes, so I stretch it and force it back when it does. But the relief is amazing. It's been about 6 months since then and I'm super thankful for it.

@@westsidekasper4860 suggestion: to these tiny tiny rotations that I will here describe, but in summary. I have had it work a charm on people. for example, put your arm straight out.and imagine the fingers are a pencil pointing at a sheet of paper a galaxy away. (OK it is easier to start with the imaginary sheet of paper closer, then farther and farther. The farther away the more suble the motion becomes so NP in working up to it. smile) Anyway, make a circle with the pencil. If it isnt even work on making it even. Try to make the circle smaller and smaller (this is where the more distant paper comes in to help.) Think of extending the arm-elbow-hand-fingers out from your center as well (not moving your center towars the clircle, lol). Think of it, extension is the opposite of compression. Something I do when I seem to be stuck in making a smooth circle, ie comtrolling the muscles to work smoothly around the clircle - - is to imagine the center of the circle and work radially ie in a straight line acrodss the center. This makes a cross or an x. All this is trainging our brain and your muscles to work smoothly together, even elegantly. Dont forget to do both directions, rotating to the right and to the left (clockwise, sunward, name it and you own it.) Last: not that my description has centered on the relation of the humerus bone in the "socket and it's relation to the acronium. In spite of that, this has helped me with wrist, finger and elbow pain. (OMG how can this be true?) You can apply this to ANY JOINT in your body. I have used it to draw circles with the top of my head on a paper far far off in space. I have used it on a foot using the ankle joint (on a clinet. I have seen it stop crepetations (little noises). What do I thnk is actually happening? - - Here goes nothing. I think you are learning to let the big conscious-of muscles relax and transfer the contro to the smaller tiny intrinsic muscles. That then would be what REFINEs your movement. Hey anyone, please correct me if I am wrong. moveorflow@gmail.com

Dude, omg I can't even tell you. I have been suffering for almost a year being woken up at night with shoulder pain in both shoulders. Last year after not working out for years, I decided to start doing heavy lateral shoulder raises with 40 lb dumbbells. Obviously when I got done it hurt like hell and never stopped. I got sharp pains every time I lifted my arms or used my shoulder muscles in any way. I tried lots of rehab exercises after letting it rest for like 2 months but nothing helped. Then randomly today I came across your video. ALL I did was the thing with the ball, and hit up all the areas where it was tender. Within 10 minutes, all of the pain is completely gone. I can't believe I just suffered for months and all I needed was to put pressure on the muscles with a ball. My shoulders and arms have atrophied from not being able to use my arms. wow. I can't thank you enough!

May I compliment you on being a lucid and informative speaker. This video has been helpful. Thank you.

Wow this is a great video! I've been suffering from Arthritis for years now and seems like every year I find a new pain. I think I understand you, posture and muscle tension have a lot to do with getting the shoulder back to normal. Thank you thank you for making this one !!!

I highly recommend that in addition to doing your physical therapy and so forth that you ice as often as possible. Spend the money on a good slip on shoulder ice pack and you will do a much more often most likely. Plus it will cuff down onto your bicep area as well as many of us have had pain there resulting from the shoulder pain. Also, if you aren't against taking ibuprofen, take that for a couple of weeks at something like 800 to maybe 1200 mg a day depending on your size and that's still well within Medical recommendations. It's actually a pretty small dosage but can also help. Add in the physical therapy and rest from overhead weightlifting or things like that and you got a good shot people. Stay positive and let's all stick together and heal up! By the way, I'm an ex Division 1 quarterback who has had shoulder challenges since high school and has worked through it several times successfully and continue to do so as I am in the middle of a recent challenge. Anyway, love to the world and the universe!

@Dan H this seems like it can be tricky but just pay attention to the pain level and also how long the sensation of pain, which should not be more than moderate at the most and ideally mild or non-existent, make sure it you are checking about how long that lasts after you do some exercises. Generally it's okay and expected that it will be a bit uncomfortable and maybe a bit sizzly for a few hours or an hour or maybe half a day but you just want to see if it's really lingering. Check that ego big time and work with super positive loving Vibes towards the experience and how you are actually getting some rest and other ways and when you train use exceptionally lightweight for twice as long as you might think. 2 lb weight, 3 lb wait. Heck I got excited when I got to 8 lb dumbells! Finally, make sure you are doing exercises to open up the shoulder because like many of us you are probably stronger interior part of your deltoids and week out back so look up some exercises on those and also how to open up Hi-Point back your scapula and so forth and this overtime will help reduce clicking and it will likely eventually go away. One more thing, if this has become chronic you can and should cycle between ice and Heat. This will create a pumping of the blood in-and-out to accelerate healing and you could do each of these as many times a day you want or I might do something like three or four times of ice and three or four times of heat or as much as I can get in for about 10 minutes to 15 minutes at a time for each. I recommend something called the bed buddy ... provides moist heat which is the kind of heat you want, not a heating pad. You can buy one of these for probably 10ish bucks or something and it will last a lifetime. It microwaves to a perfect heat in about 2 minutes. And if you don't want to spend the money on a fancy ice pack system for your shoulder bags of frozen peas work great and shape well around shoulders and elbows and knees and stuff! Buy a few bags and dedicate them to caring for yourself. And, promise this is the last thing... while doing this recovery pick up another area of your Fitness Lifestyle by really getting your nutrition and check or upping your water considerably or really dialing in your caloric intake and improving your cardiovascular work. There's a ton of joy in maintaining your physique and having shoulder stuff can be frustrating but you will get through this and I think you will be better for all around?

I can not begin to tell you how rolling the tennis ball made such a huge difference. My shoulder has been hurting for so long that I had given up on it healing.

Hey how are you doing now ☺️ hope your bursitis has gone away

I have had this debilitating shoulder pain you're describing. I researched greatly throughout youtube. I found the GREATEST answer came with gymnastic rings. I hung them with very sturdy clips. I use a step stool to do modified hangs, pull ups and negative pull ups. Some of the philosophy is that our ancestors hung from trees. I've experienced that hanging has amazing conditioning effects. It hits all the upper body. It conditions the hands through to the arms, shoulders and back. The pain in my shoulder almost instantaneously went away. That sold me.

Surfing, thanks for the exercises and taking the time to help.

Just what I need ! Thanks!! You are the real Champ 🥊

Very intelligent philosophy to handle the shoulder problems, beyond the particular bursitis issue described

Thank you for the explanations and examples. Your comment on holding the shoulders in a neutral position and not slumping was very helpful. After 50+ years of doing computer work, the 'natural' position for me is shoulders slumped. I just finished my first PT session and my therapist did mention the poor position of my shoulders but didn't highlight it as well as you did. Now I need to go find a tennis ball. :)

Thank you so much, this really helped me. Sending gratitude 🙏🏼

I had ankle bursitis for two weeks from a skateboarding injury. I had x-rays and ultra sounds and got diagnosed properly. The pain remained the same during that time so I figured it would be a long recovery. My doctor said to ice the area to reduce swelling. I tried icing and not much was happening so I put a beaded hot/cold pack inside my sock then wrapped my whole foot in a heating pad on high for about 4 hours a day. While I slept I left the hot/cold pack and sock on but the heating pad wasn't on my foot. This process made my foot sweat a lot and I literally sweated the bursitis away in just 3 days. I went from limping in pain for 2 weeks to walking perfectly fine after 3 days of heating the area. I'm not sure how it works but I think the liquid in the bursa sac worked its way out in the sweating process or through the blood stream. I hope this helps with shoulders too!

Wow, really thoroughly explained. Thanks so much🙏🏼

Thank you. I found the way you present the information and your depth of understanding the problem we share so encouraging for me to be better soon.

This is fantastic. I come from a very medical family, but because of my own experiences with (very good) doctors through some joint issues, I have come to embrace a very multifaceted approach to healing. I refuse to believe that rest and cortisone are my only options. I currently have very similar issues with bursitis that you had, as well as a herniated c5 cervical disc. Seeing this gives me so much hope! You really didn’t give up, and look how strong you are! I really wish that there was a concentrated effort to merge western and eastern medicine, to include a much heavier emphasis on gua sha & deep tissue massage, anatomy awareness, and calisthenics with such injuries as this. Unfortunately, Big Pharma has too big of a grip on most of our MDs.

It amazes me they will pay for useless PT where I was told go over there and do some exercises or just slap a tens unit on my back but no real help and it cost a small fortune! The co-pay was too much for me, especially when not working well at all. Deep tissue message is very helpful. I am going to look into what gua sha is as I am not familiar with it. I also like that you mentioned calisthenics as I do remember doing these in my youth quite regularly and it being helpful. Thank you.

There are many conflicting videos on YT right now so best to do the stuff that doesn't hurt first. Try and alleviate radiating pains(mainly due to pinched nerves) first.
