The 2nd exercise/stretching worked well for me. Thank you.

Every time i do this routine my range of motion improves, both the day of and it persists to the following days. I've always had atrocious reach with my right arm and I thought it was a lost cause, but this is helping a ton. Thanks so much for sharing, your channel has helped me so much with this and back issues

Great to hear! Thank you =)

I can reach the back with my left shoulder so easily and all the way up my back, but only halfway with my right. My shoulder seems to come forward when I do it.

Regarding the second mobility movement using the towel, do you also have to depress your scapula aswell? Or is that something that you shouldnt really consciously focus on and rather just let the scapula do what it wants? I ask this because when internally rotating, your shoulder capsule needs a bit of room to just move around in so depressing the scapula would allow fof extra room towards the front deltoid area without any pinching occurance?....a layman guess, curious what you guys think. Thanks!

When doing these drills like the first one is it normal for the humeral head to roll forward ?

Hi Thanks for this clip Just wondered how many reps per exercise and how many times per day?

I used to be good at this lacking fingers but now re strengthening. What's the name of that Yoga movement or i. Other fitness? Ive done many of these in Olympic bar training b4. Cool stuff

Thank you!!! This works for me! Especially pulling it up with a towel. My neck hurts and when I overhead press my shoulder has impingement...

Might want to see a doctor. I had those same symptoms and it turned out to be cervical radiculopathy (nerve compression at the neck due to inflammation and a disc bulge). It was effecting motor function in my left shoulder.

This showed me just how limited I was back there. 😅

Can you do a pre and post rotator cuff warm ups and cool down? Please

looking up our shoulder preparation!

Reaching behind my bacj wuth the towel hurst the front of my shoulder.. why is that?

When I do this is get pain in my romboid and chest what's that mean?

So one of my arms doesn't reach up the back the same as the other... When I lean against the wall with my back flush to it , the same blade just slides across flat against the wall.. ...Where as the other blade ( on my good side ) seems to poke out a little and gets caught on the wall when I try and slide my back from side to side on a wall while sitting on a chair... Are U sure these exercises are correct or helpful... Are there any circumstances or injuries where this may not be appropriate?. Like could it be due to scapular winging and then this isn't good.. Or is this for general shoulder impingement.. I'm just trying to make sure it's safe to do

How many repetitions per exercise and how many per day?

I did the very last movement in the video where he lifts his hand off his back and I get pain like a charlie horse in my shoulders. It sucks but I guess I need to work on this movement

That movement really challenges those muscles so stay consistent and be patient with yourself! You've got this!

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! If you are having some shoulder discomfort I highly recommend you check out our shoulder program! theprehabguys.com/shoulder-prehab-program/

I’m right handed but my left hand can reach up my back very easily. With my right hand it barely goes up to my waist and it’s so tight and painful to stretch. Hope I can fix this!

I don't think you should follow these stretches if they cause pain (they sure do for me). it'll only make the situation worse.

Every time I place my left arm on my lower back and my right arm over my shoulder, my hands are 3 inches apart. However, when I reverse the positions, placing my left arm over my shoulder and my right arm on my lower back, the gap between my hands is significantly larger. could this excercise be benficial for me when im trying to touch my hands behind back

This could definitely play a role in improving your shoulder mobility needed to reach behind your back!

Is it normal for the towel behind the back to cause pain and make my shoulder sore afterwards ?

@maxguichard4337

Same problem. Doesn't seem good! Maybe it has to do with a forward shoulder posture.

@Drikkerbadevand

It's normal just don't too much at once. I was sore too but improved my mobility a lot. My guess for the reason is you're stretching your muscles and since they're probably a bit stiff/tight they're contracted to try to resist (which is why it's difficult in the first place)

no sound

but if you cannot raise your arm behind your back, using a towel to force it would only make the inflammation worse, wouldn't it?

@ThePrehabGuys

The towel is there to assist with the motion and we never want to force into a range that causes pain and discomfort, but we do want to work into a range that feels like a healthy stretch to hopefully over time allow your motion to improve.
