Great video! I injured myself years ago in a car accident and then aggravated my injury playing sports. Your videos have helped me find relief. I'm now a musician and use some of the stretches from your other videos before I play guitar.

OMG thank you. I’ve been in so much pain for so long, and I was sent away by the orthopedic surgeon with very little instruction. I’m going to do these exercises every day. The worst pain for me is trying to reach behind my back. Taking clothing off over my head is nearly impossible. God bless and thank you for being so positive!

I would do some of the shoulder exercises with a resistive band if you have an impingement. I have several shoulder videos for that. Just be careful not to irritate it any further!! Good luck!!

Hi AskDosctorJo! Wondering if the exercises I would do for my bad shoulder should be done for the healthy one as well. Basically should the focus be on the weak arm to level up with the other or should both arms be put through the exsercises. (Same Q as Lyndon Pinto) Thanks!

Good Morning Dr. Jo, You kindly responded to my comments about your video regarding walking with a cane as the crutches seem to be wrecking my shoulders. You referenced your shoulder videos. I'll be doing these and your others religiously. BTW, I am 66 years old. Thanks again, Tim

Magical healing, thanks doc 👍

I pulled my Rt rotator cuff about a month ago. I'm having a terrible time. My Orthopedic Surgeon said no tear but I got a Kenalog 40 shot. Those feel great for about 4 days then the pain is back and it hurts. I don't like taking pain pills. I did your exercises on this video, all of them. I felt geat the next day. But then it came back. So here I am, trying this again. Wish me luck. Thanks. Also I bought one of those gel packs to heat it up. It feels good for a while but wow. Really craving some pain pills but staying away from them. I work regularly so can't be taken them. Thanks again. I also notice when I do pushups there isn't as much pain. :) Also, I'm on TRT because my body stopped making it many years ago. my mood has improved tremendously. Been on it 2 years now. Being older, it really helps me out, overall, tremendously. I don't recommend it for everybody but the improvements are worth it. Increased bone density, less body fat, more muscle mass. I don't overdue it. :)

Mam i do rotator cuff rehab exercise and shoulder start pain how to recover from rotator cuff injury

Hi Dr Joe this is something really important I want to ask I get a nasty uncomfortable pain in my left shoulder blade and have had this for a couple of months this happened when I started lifting up heavy stock at work my physio said to me to do these exercises is a 1.25kg weight alright to use also I get really depressed thinking about this pain coz for some reason it doesn't go after how long will I see a difference please reply to this Thanks

According some other self-test videos, I don't have a rotator cuff injury, but...yeah, I think I do because I can't lay on that side and my shoulder pops and hurts if I try to do a 360 degree motion. Yes, it's not as bad as people who have full or partial tears and need surgery, but something is wrong. It's been hurting on and off for 2 years now. Shouldn't hurt at all to put a dish away in the cupboard.

Am unable to move my arm even 20 degrees...am worried...i had this injury 3weeks ago....can u advice how to make it well,,I need to join my work soom

I have this inflammation in rotator since 3 years due to arthritis, should I need to continue excercise or just need to relax this mussel

Would you recommend surgery since I have a lot of pain while doing the exercises

Hi Dr Jo. I hurt my shoulder play a game of cricket while bowling. Is it the rotator cuff that might be damaged ?

Hi Dr. Jo. Love your videos. I had rotator cuff tear surgery in July I'm still having a tough time being able to raise up and out and behind my back I've been looking at a lot of your videos, I was going to pt now at 9wks and I feel the excerizes were not tough enough because really I don't feel much better at all. Going to do your excerizes with the resistive band and the where u were on the bed hanging with your arm up and out. I'm so ready to feel better and get back to work.

Hi Doc Jo! I injured my left shoulder about a month ago pulling up roofing shingles from a helper on a ladder who wasn't lifting them quite high enough. I'm 61 but fit and work hard all of the time. I'm a contractor. I'm still able to work over my head in some positions. Straight to the left, I can only lift my arm 90 degrees or parallel to the floor. A little more forward I can do better. Pain is low but regular. I'm about the same as a month ago. I've started some pulling exercises in front of my body (both hands pulling away from each other) with a red stretchie! I'm going to start some of yours as well. My shoulder actually has a little pop once in a while. Any ideas as to what's wrong. Maybe just strained or pulled ligaments/tendons.

Nailgunskater It could be anything from a shoulder impingement, slight rotator cuff tear, to a labral tear. It is hard to tell without getting to do an evaluation, but hopefully these will help! Good luck!

Just had my complete tear re attached 5 weeks ago. Noticed atrophy in my bicep within 1 week. Range of motion not good . I'm still in sling until 6 weeks. I'm doing pendulum motions. I hope I get my shoulder back.

There really isn't much you can do yourself in the beginning, but if you aren't in physical therapy yet, they can do much more, even if you are still in a sling. Good luck.

Why does it hurt below the under arm on thhe back side of my ribcage like below my under arm when I dangle the arm down on the bed and try raise it forward like you did.. I also wake up with pain in that area... And lately my neck.. Also does rotator cuff injuries cause shoulder to feel loose

Can I do these if I have an injury? I don’t know how severe it is, but it was 3 weeks ago, and I can’t raise my arm above my head now. 😒

Thank you 🗿

Do these exercises work for a partially torn rotator cuff?

Good day doc..6 years ago,while playing basketball. i slapped the ball from my opponent's hands then suddenly i heard my shoulder just popped sounded like a paper being torn.It hurts so much.I cant ever wear shirt off by myself after that moment.Do you think its the rotator cuff that was torn?I have no problem moving my arms now but when i insert force in it in a (like pitching or passing ball or dribbling) position,it hurts and i can always hear and feel my shoulder tearing..

No clue if you still bother to check these comments but i can move my arm with slight pain but it needs help as its to week on its own but when i move my shoulder its self it hurts a lot i just sprained it yesterday

Hello ma'am Plz after exercises..

Hi, Doctor Jo: I've found your videos to be the most helpful on KZread! I am a 60-year-old female who was recently diagnosed with rotator cuff tear by lifting weights. The following is the U/S findings: There is full-thickness tear measuring 1.5 cm of the anterior and mid fibers of the supraspinatus with approximately 1 cm retraction. There is moderate tendinopathy of supraspinatus. There is a 1 cm area of calcification at the infraspinatus in keeping with calcific tendinopathy. There is moderate subdeltoid subacromial bursitis. I understand you have Rotator Cuff surgery yourself and would like to know what you think about the Arthroscopical surgery on Rotator Cuff. Please give me your suggestions! Thanks so much, lee

+Anderson Lee Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I know how painful it can be. I had a labral repair in my shoulder. My rotator cuff was partially torn, but they just cleaned it up instead of repairing it. It really depends on how your body reacts to the surgery. Some people do really well, and some people struggle with it for awhile. If you haven't tried any formal physical therapy yet, I would definitely give it a shot. Sometimes people can heal enough to not need surgery, but even if you need it in the end, you want your shoulder to be as strong as it can and have as much motion as it can for a better recovery afterwards. Good luck!

I hope that doing the excersizes you demonstrated will help with the range of motion at least in that one axis (laying on my stomach and raising arm to side) I just tried again after pickle ball and I am almost at parallel about 90% before I am uncomfortable I think that with the combination of stretching, a little strengthening and using it more will do the trick....

Did your doctor not recommend going to physical therapy?

In light of your suggestion to use light weights, is it too much to use the equipment at the gym? My surgeon told me two months post-op not to use the elliptical machine, but that was 9 months ago. I still feel pain on occasion. I was surprised when he told me post-op that my recovery from two total tears (supra and infra spinatus) would be one year.
