===========================
WHAT IS THE ROTATOR CUFF?
The “rotator cuff” is 4 small muscles in the shoulder whose primary job is to keep the head of the humerus (arm bone) situated in just the right place on the scapula (shoulder blade). When these muscles are performing their function properly and the humerus is held in this position, the shoulder functions normally and pain-free.
WHAT IS ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS?
Tendonitis is an inflammatory response in a tendon. In the shoulder, this most-often occurs in the “supraspinatus” rotator cuff muscle due to a “pinching” or “impingement” of this tendon in the subacromial space. The result is tendonitis pain and inflammation in the shoulder which can lead to rotator cuff tears.
It’s important to address shoulder tendonitis early so it doesn’t escalate to fraying and tearing in the shoulder.
HOW TO TREAT ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS
The best home treatment for rotator cuff tendonitis includes three steps.
1. Cross-friction massage to promote healing in the tendon
2. Stretching to improve range of motion and decrease shoulder pain
3. Strengthening the rotator cuff to promote healing and restore function
In this video, I’ll show you how to perform all three of these to help alleviate your rotator cuff tendon pain.

In my case, I actually hurt my right shoulder during a fall on my mountain bike. My front tire had gotten a puncture, and was a bit flat. I didn´t realize this, and when I took a sharp turn near the end of my ride, the front tire skidded and the bike completely flopped over, and I fell on my right side. My right arm and shoulder took most of the impact (and luckily I was wearing my helmet, as my head also hit the pavement). I had some emergency medical attention, and most of the issues (slight concussion, scraped elbows, etc.) have healed. But the shoulder is still bothering me (at the beginning, it was a challenge to even lift my right arm to wash my hair, face, and get dressed. But now that´s much better). I think it is an impingement, maybe tendinitis. I´ve tried a few exercises I´ve found on KZread, but yours have been the most helpful. The injury happened in late July, 2023. It´s now late August. How long should it take to no longer feel shoulder pain? I´m trying to avoid going to the doctor, if possible. But if it continues, maybe I should seek medical attention. Thank you!!! 😁

I torned my rotatorcuff during work and after healing I have gotten calcification at the tendon that was torn. It is really hurtful and am looking for ways to releave the sharp pain I get at some of the movements in the shoulder.
My shoulder pain was gradual. In 2002, I was in a bad car accident, I was hit by a semi and rolled my car twice. I had physical therapy after I initially healed from my accident. Over the last 20 years, my neck and shoulder pain gradually increased. I began seeing a chiropractor again about a year ago. He told me I have degenerative disc disease in my neck and the other day told me he believes I have tendinitis in my left shoulder, pretty sure they’re related. Trying to find good exercises to help with the pain and avoid it getting worse. I enjoy this exercises and stretches, they feel good and help relieve the pain. Thank you!

So many videos on this topic but I like and will stick to this routine. Thank you for this Dr. Jared! I hurt my shoulder lifting too heavy and with bad form. How long should we do this for and how do we know we are ready for heavy weights? I stopped in June and afraid to re-injure myself.

Ive developed rolled shoulders over last 20 years id say due to periods of depression. I started weight training last year and although i thought my form was ok perhaps not. Trying to think of this issue as something that will bring more attentiin into the body as im a bit of a dissociater. Thanks for your help
Perfect timing on this video - I've been dealing with rotator cuff tendinitis for about a week and a half now. Basically I overdid it with way too many overhead shoulder presses, combined with apparently some weak tiny shoulder muscles I'd never heard of before. I've been doing some stretching but definitely appreciate the strengthening exercises, as I never want to go through this again. Thank you!!

How often should you do the strengthening exercises?
so i should do one side, then do the other immediately after, then a break, then continue on to the next series?
I dislocated my shoulder a few years back, and although they say there was no permanent damage to my rotator cuff, my shoulder and neck have been really stiff, sore, and both shoulders often click when I do any basic movements. I often sleep with my arms above my head and I have to routinely stretch with my hands together in a triangle above my head, and push towards the ceiling until my shoulders crack otherwise it's so uncomfortable and I cannot sleep. Any ideas?
I have all the symptoms go GIRD Syndrome. Internal rotation deficit, also problem while lifting overhead weights. Also MRI showed Mild tendinitis in supraspinatus and Subcoracoid bursal fluid. It's been 5 months I'm suffering from the pain, kindly suggest me the solution.
I want to learning to do push-ups. Also learning butterfly stroke. And I have injured my shoulder. Can’t do both now. When can I get back to my regular training? I have been advised to not do butterfly stoke and freestyle. Also no push-ups of any kind 😢 Pls advise.

Hi my friend feels pain in her shoulder and It looks like the bone of his scapula is also slightly displaced from its place and is visible a little lower. she feels pain in her shoulder after bench press exercise. Can you tell what it could be and how to manage ?
If back of my shoulder is hurting and affects me lifting over head what does it mean
Is this good for a slap tear also?
my mistake was doing weighted pull ups which tear my right shoulder, its been 6 month I cannot even do moderate weight tricep pushdown without pain
Mine is too painful, day 2.guess i need to wait untl the pain eases, but o worry about my lost mobilty. Pendulums are all i can tolerate. Typing hurts..lol
2:34 my doctor diagnosed me with rotator cuff tendonitis and suggested these exercises, but I never have pain on that part of my shoulder, it's under my collarbone especially on the most medial part, is it possibly a misdiagnosis?

Is there an alternative to the exercise on the knees ? Bilateral knee surgery does not allow me to get on my knees for any reason. Not all positions during exercises work for people that have had knee replacement. Thanks .

Completely understandable! You can get a similar stretch via traction if you grab an overhead bar or doorframe and bend your knees slightly. If you can't reach that high, you can walk your hand up the side of a doorframe as high as you can and then slightly bend your knees. Hope you feel better, Zulma!

I do have some discomfort now in both shoulders, with the right one having the repair done and still bothering me.
