I hope your frozen shoulder heals soon Dr. Mandell! I had one about 8 years ago. It took around 2-3 years to 100% fully heal. It started to free up very gradually after the first year. I can confirm that all the exercises you describe are spot on. Especially the bad free arm hanging/swinging motions. During the slow healing phase, whilst doing this gently with a 5 or 10kg dumbbell I would get random pops as the connective scar tissue fibres snap! I came to realise that with each joint pop, I was getting more mobility back. As well as swinging the arm, whilst it hangs try lifting and lowering the dumbbell by bending the elbow and also twisting/rotating it back and forth whilst hanging it vertically. The inertia of the dumbbell helps to release the tense fibres. The pops are a good sign the therapy is working. Swimming regularly (breaststroke) helps also. With frozen shoulder it is very important not to immobilise as this just makes it get worse. The worst thing you can do is put the arm in a sling for days (even though it temporarily feels better) Good luck. Peter.

Thank you for going into details. I fell on valentine's day 2024 & shoulder came out of the socket. Insurance referrals and doctor issues caused a huge delay in my getting surgery and more delays getting to physical therapy. As a result my shoulder is frozen and I have been so concerned about ever getting back to normal. Your story gives me hope and thanks for sharing specifics to help the shoulder heal!

Every time something isn’t working right with my body, Dr.Mandell posts a video with instructions how to fix it. Thank you!! ❤

So True I was having this problem 😊

As a license massage therapist that knows the importance of stretching, I love that you make these videos to show people they can self heal or prevent injury. People do not realize we need to stretch daily to keep the muscles healthy.

You know, a lot of people say that YT is no good because of censorship. Perhaps that is true for some things but where would we be without it? We wouldn't have Dr Mandell. Always useful info, Doc. You've helped me, us, more than you know. God bless you.❤❤❤

A timely video! Left shoulder issues for about three months now ... never realized getting my bra on and off could become so difficult! That hanging arm/pendulum motion actually feels so good! Thank you for this. I assume working the "good arm" with these exercises is also recommended, yes? Thank you again, Doctor!

Love your videos but it would be so useful to have them organised in a playlist as there are over 5000 & when looking for something specific it's nearly impossible

Yes please. Love love your videos.

I had a MRI which told me I have a 3mm tear in my rotator cuff area. After rest and healing, I will be using these. I have had frozen shoulder about a decade ago, and these were all my exercises. I will keep this video handy for when I am ready to work the arm again (not in a sling currently-drs ok with that).

If there was a global award for medical explanation, Dr Mandell would win it every year! Thank you Dr Mandell for sharing your knowledge God bless you ❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your kindness is appreciated with gratitude.❤❤❤

Thank you so much for making this video. I have a frozen shoulder. Years ago I had a humerus fracture in the same arm.

Thank you so much, I have followed your insructions on sinus opening, and this shoulder stretch is very eye opening ! feels better already.. I appreciate suggestions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with this community. it's the simple little things that helps.

Thanks Dr.Mandel ❤

Oh Dr...😢 I have tried so many videos and I needed this so bad. I have had this shoulder hurting 2 months now. Went to physiotherapy and 1000k later nothing. He just killed my shoulder. This is helping me no lie. Thank you so much. Let's see in a week how I feel

Immensely informative it is indeed Dr Mandell...not only just that...the presentation is filled with heartwarming care and concern in explaining everything inside out so nicely down to the basics inspiring the one suffering to go forward with the stretches. Thank You Dr Mandell for being there beside for all who needs you...God Bless

O zi placuta! Multumim pentru sfaturi si atentia daruita ! 👍Ramanem sanatosi! 😉

I had frozen shoulder once, 20 years ago. Man, it sucked! Visit to chiropractor, massage therapist, then went to acupuncture & found relief. Thanks for the good advice! 👍🏽

Very Grateful Doctor Mandell!!

Great video. Thank you.

Thank you🌸Dr. Mandell🌸for your helpful videos

Thank you, I needed that.

All of your videos are great, THANK YOU . But this one hits home, I will definitely put it to use

Thank you for this! I have torn my left rotator cuff not once, but twice, in the last twenty years. It's been about 8 months since the last time and this is part of my daily routine starting today. Cheers Alan!

Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing Dr. I'm glad I watched your video these exercises seems to work for me.

At about 55 I was just scratching my back and moved my hand too far- use a back scratching stick instead. Hanging from the top of door frames fixed my frozen shoulder. I do this stretching almost every day now, to keep my shoulders and back more stretched.

Fantastic knowledge❤ I’m gonna try it and hope it helps me have been suffering this shoulder pain for almost 2 months. I think I must’ve injured it while doing a workout with the kettle bell with the dumbbell I can’t see and I feel it impingement I’ve got thanks for all the help, really grateful

Thank you so very much ❤🎉

Thank You Dr I so appreciate these techniques having injury top of spine which caused inflammation many years ago and seeing Drs specialists but I will practice theses movements to free up occasional pain when i lift up my arm, God’s Blessings 🙏❤️

I started to have painful shoulder-arm joints last week and trying this out a little bit made it less sore! I can hear the joint clicking when I did the freefall dangling hand. Thanks for sharing, doctor!

Thank you Dr Mandell watching from the Philippines

Thx u 4ur excersices, hope it will work & get it better after 3yrs.

Thanks sir so very much

I have frozen shoulder Ouch! Thank you for the exercise video! Love to you and your family 💖

Hi doc greetings from Mumbai India im a snr citizen n diabetic ive got frozen shoulders since 2 mths 5 out of 10 diabetic get frozen shoulders i used to go.to the gym last yr but stopped now. Been to 4 physiotherapists n more or less show me the same exercises u hv shown. I take heatwaves, tens, ultrasound thrice a wk im better now abt 75% but i now do yr exercise of stimulating the shoulders with my fingers n feel better. Exercises shud be done gradually lest it injures the shoulders of make dem sore. Diet is also imp i eat healthy no sugar, whiteflour, cokes, redmeats etc

Another gem of a presentation, Dr. M. Thank you. 🇮🇪❤️

I’m in physical therapy s/p rotator cuff surgery and these are some of the stretches they have me do.

This is so so helpful, thanks doc. My shoulder pain is somewhat related to my digestion and gastric issues, no doctor seems to know why. Wonder what your thoughts are.

Really useful Dr 👍

Thank you so much for those wonderful exercises. I am struggling at the moment with a frozen shoulder. It is not only painful but so irritating. Trying to do everything one handed. I don't wear a sling much as I feel I have more pain and less mobility when doing so. I try to gently carry on using the arm as best as I can to try stop it from stiffening more. A great video. With lots of useful tips. Thank you.

This is a good one I really needed this I'm starting to have right shoulder pain and I don't know why

🌞Good Morning Dr. Mandell🌞 Been suffering w this for years. Many thanks 💜 for these exercises as my the insurance wouldn't cover the MRI. 💯

Thank you sir I needed to hear what to do with my shoulder and you have a wonderful day today? ✅🎯💯

You are a blessing Dr. Mandell. Thanks you for your teaching healing skills!!

My right clavicle bone was broken years ago it was inward ànd protruded the main bone outward i seen a sports specialist who told me if this was a outward break they could repair but mine was broke inward and they've tried different surgeries to no avail. This morning I noticed this doesn't hurt anymore and my bones feel normal. This exercise vedio you are showing is wonderful 👏 Thank you so much ❤. You are totally on time!

can you please make a video on iron supplements chelated vs others for absorption and other issues

Blessings Alhamdulillah, it worked on the first attempt. Thank you Dr. It was the 3rd day with the problem

Thank you sir I got the same problem I will try to do as you said

I had the exact same issue. Figured out it was due to going too low with the bench press. I limited that and go for a wider grip now and it’s fixed.

It's amazing all that's accomplished when we pray and fast in Faith!!

Great info, thank you Doc; I was at a point where I could bend much at the knees(arthritis setting in ), but little by little I did a little more and then more bending (crouching, bending at knees) and now I can bend all the way down(took me 2 years),; I am now working on staying bent at the knees for longer and longer periods of time - its a lil' painful, but I can bear the pain as I did when I first started hopefully without injuring myself and a positive outcome in the long run?

God bless you and help you to help us, the world pacients with no doctor.

I try your stretches to see if I can get some shoulder pain relief.

Omg this video is so timely. 3 weeks ago I started having shoulder pain exactly as you described doctor. I went to see my doctor and tomorrow is the start of my PT. I’m thinking of canceling it and just do this for now. Such a great video. Thank you so much doctor 🙏

TQ for the useful info, i m 63, active senior, i hv shoulder prob during cycling, when i stretch my left hand to ON my light below the seat. Instantly i feel the pain and i couldn't lift my left hand up. After 3 treatments still hv a little discomfort. I will follow your good tips, is easy.

I take a broom handle and rest my bad shoulder's hand on the end of the handle and lift it up using my other hand pointing it straight up and just hold it there a few seconds. Helps alot. Thanks for your helpful videos 👍

Wonderful video Doctor. Does the angle (how low you bend) determine the effectiveness of the pendulum exercise? Thanks

Thank you. I have problems with my shoulder. I was giving excersises to do, but they didn't help. I will try the ones you show. They look more effecient. My doctor only offered injections

I actually have a chronic bad shoulder right now. These flexes helped. All felt good, except the towel pull behind. That one was seriously painful and i had to take a break

Been taking Nattokinase as Dr. Mandel suggested... It works!!! Stretching Massage Cold Laser Tumeric and Natto. Shoulders are working again! Took an entire YEAR folks these exercises and stretching every day... The natto broke up the scar tissues!! If I can't sleep from shoulder pain, get out of bed and do the stretches ( ya can't sleep anyhow) that was the trick! Thank you Dr. M! No surgery for me...❤

Thank You Dr❣️ Took me so long to find you Will do this for my strained right shoulder I damaged due to lifting too much weight on that side and have the pain on and off My Dr. wanted to operate on it but I refused Thank You again😉

Do you have any tips for impingements/rotator cuff tears?

Can you do it for rheumatoid arthritis in the shoulder and arm will it work

Thank you very much is being 8 weeks with physio progress is showing but slowly, I fell and broke my shoulder.

I'm starting to get alot of knee and hip pain lately. Do you know of some stretches or supplements for that?

Hello doctor, I am from Spain. Sorry for my translation if it is not correct.

Should I continue with them or add something new to these exercises? Thanks for your help

Thank Fr Madel i fell down my sons stars damaged my shoulder i teised it a bit ive had pysho twice its a bit better not enough though 👍🤗🙏💖🇬🇧

I have a request for help dealing with ‘trigger finger’ affecting the thumb- rest and splinting only seems to reduce discomfort after 2 weeks- I would love to hear your advice on this 🙏🏼

I so needed to see this.. Thank you Dr Mandell

My right arm is hurting so bad. Thank you for your help 🙏

Does it matter what colour towel you use? I only have white ones.

Should I do these? I have herniated disvs in neck, bone spirs, bone to bone shoulders?

The first exercise, the finger walk up the wall, can be done in the shower with hot water hitting your shoulder. Ahhhh! Shout out to my awesome, fabulous PT. Physical therapy saved me.

I have dislocated shoulder, since 2007. Every night I have to used a sling harness so it won't get dislocated whenever I fell asleep. I've loss count how many times it got dislocated. Couldn't afford to undergo surgery even if I badly wanted too. Godbless, thanks for the info, Philippines🙏👍🇵🇭

Can you please make a video for mouse shoulder pain? Mine has gotten so bad as I have increasingly worked more hours online. I stand a lot but it doesn’t seem to help
