How Shrugging Cures Shoulder Impingement
Shrugging to exercise your upper trapezius muscle is a critical part of healing shoulder impingement for the long-term. This exercise helps activate the shrug muscle so that you can properly use it when doing shoulder movements. Getting stronger upper traps virtually cures shoulder impingement.

Hey Marie, thank you so much for the kind words! We really appreciate the overwhelming support!
Wow this really worked!! Pain is gone for the first time in weeks and only after 10 reps!! Thank you so much for your expertise and sharing this!!
Just diagnosed with acromion shoulder impingement in rotator cuff.The irony is I went to so many doctors and none knew what I had. Unfortunate that it took five years to get a diagnosis. Probably too late to make it any better. Going to ortho specialist next.

Hey Andy, it's terrible to hear that you've been in excruciating pain, crunching, and severe lack of mobility over the last couple of weeks.

Hopefully, the pain will subside but if possible try to rest (which we know is easier said than done).

Since the winter arrived both of my shoulders have been aching a lot followed by impingement for the last month for unknown reasons. The only exercises I do is the elliptical machine for 30-45 min a day interval training for years. I have been doing this shrug exercise for the last week and notice a huge improvement. A Lot less shoulder clicking and the impingement has nearly disappeared. No more aching just mild soreness. Another thing I change is the position of my truck seat closer to the steering wheel and position my heads on the 8 and 4 o'clock position instead of the my usual 9 and 3 o'clock position because that was only repetitive moments I do on my shoulders and that slight modification has helped my impingement issues. Keep aware of your every day moments of your body. 👍
you are a light in this dark world!

can you please make a video on clonking collarbone? (after frozen shoulder on right) Will do more shrugging now! always thought shoulder needs to stay down when lifting arm, so glad to find this!
Awesome Ty. Now do thoracic outlet syndrome
I just did 50 reps and hoping it cures my shoulder impingement I have had for close to four years. I have it mainly in right shoulder. Physical therapist told me that the pain comes down from neck to scapula and leads to my upper arm. I have bad crunching sound in right scapula along with a crunching sound in upper arm. I hope this helps. Going to do it everyday. Felt some relief after doing this. Had to stop physical therapy since I am not working. I injured myself four years ago doing something dumb, lifting a piece of furniture.

@soniamorales2562 Sonia, I'm glad that you listened to your commenter. 50 reps is WAY TOO MANY to start with, especially after 10 years of restricted mobility. How are you doing today? Do you have any other underlying conditions? Have you continued the(se) exercise(s)? I paused the short when I saw your comment! I was just diagnosed with this and given exercises. Because I have EDS and this has been going on for 4+months, he wants me to reduce reps. 5 reps, 5 times a day. I would recommend starting there, gradually advancing up to 10 repetitions/2 sets, eventually ending up at 15 reps/3 sets. This is the normal recommendation according to my handout. He emphasized shoulder shrugs, circles forward and back, and pendulums. Best wishes. ❤

30% rotator cuff tear, bone spur. PT has not helped. Most of my pain is in bi-cep area. I can lift my arm overhead, but raising to the side and when bent, moving in front of my body, very painful. My daily functioning, dressing, etc… is becoming worse. Surgeon says arthroscopic surgery is necessary.
Do you have a recommendation for shrugs with dumbells

Tennis serving caused my shoulder impingement, do you recommend I rest and do allyour exercises before playing again? Maybe rest for a couple months or can I keep playing.

Hey Professor, sorry to hear that you developed neck pain! A really important aspect to these exercises is to make sure that you do a proper chin tuck before initiating the shoulder shrugs. The best way to describe it is to try and create a "double chin" by tucking your chin down and back. This activates your deep neck flexors, which are very important and commonly not used as they should be. We would love to hear from you again regarding this!

Like most things of value, PT and health are a process, not a destination. You're gonna have to do these for a while.
First one i did felt pain.. but good pain in all the right spots.. Second one my shoulders are moving out of their stuck positiona too much and it feels weird .. Im just about to go to bed so not doing anymore incase its made me worse..
Im a 15 year old guy and my left shoulder always makes sound when i rotate it sometimes gets better but then it comes back again my right patella also moves when i bend it i also have posterior shin splints and i feel like a tendon is loose if i tap near my tibia Ive always been pretty athletic since i was a child except for the time period during covid i am currently working on to recover from this

Hey مجهول, if you're strong enough to go through the full shrugging range of motion with a dumbbell then absolutely yes. You'll need to challenge your shrugging muscles with more weight as you can tolerate it WITHOUT causing any more pain.
