Top 5 Shoulder Impingement Exercises To Help Get Healthy Again
Shoulder impingement should not last more than 4-6 weeks if you do the right treatment.
Doing the right exercises is a must! Otherwise, that shoulder pain will stay there much longer than it needs to and possibly progress to tendonitis, bursitis, or even a rotator cuff problem.
In this video, Dr. David shows you the Top 5 Shoulder Impingement Exercises To Help You Get Healthy Again.
With all of these exercises, you should feel better when doing these, not worse. Make sure not to do anything that makes your symptoms feel worse.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy It seems like your exercises are the exact opposite of what others are suggesting. The whole cat thing -- moving your shoulders FORWARD -- they all say this is what causes impingement issues, because of the way people sit at the computer all day long, their shoulders 'rounded' forward towards the keyboard, the head and neck leaning forward as well. Are they all wrong...or what am I missing?
This is exactly what I was looking for!! No special equipment and progressive for those of us in pain. Thank you so much!!
the third exercise definitely works ! I've been lifting for 5 years and had shoulder pain for 2 years, tried many exercises.Can't sleep at midnight, It's the most effective exercise I've ever done .
You are an excellent communicator and trainer. Thanks you

I'm so glad you're suggesting trap and overhead exercises. So many shoulder disfunction videos don't include that information or recognize the shrugging motion as an issue.
Thank you for sharing all wonderful exercises...
Update on my 4th shoulder impingement, the first time it took 3 years to heal because I had no idea what to do, the second time it was 2 years for the same reason, 3rd time it was a year, I was starting to get some knowledge, this time I had impingement on both shoulders and I was looking for lots of ideas, this doctor has some very effective exercises and with his help and some others, I was able to be completely pain free in 2 months, needless to say, I'm thrilled, thank you doctor, you know your stuff !!

My advice is to do what this guy says, the exercises are really effective if you do them a lot !! The first one is my favorite, I do both sides at the same time, I was doing this every hour and now I only have to do it once a day. You can Google shoulder impingement and see a lot of different videos but I think that this guy is probably the best that I saw.

@@Nomihchello I am recovering 6 months in. This video helped me a lot. I’d say start a shoulder diary and take it day by day. If you’re in a lot of pain, slow and controlled moving is good. Moving is recommended even when there’s pain. It’s a trial and error process to each person. Start with this dude and when pain gets 3/10 start adding resistance bands and lightest cables. Regular massages and cupping helped mine. The best thing to do is train and strengthen the muscles around the injured rotator cuff muscle. Treat your injury like a donut.
I’m not following anyone else, I’ve found the guy 💯

I watched numerous videos from several PTs, and tried their exercises but nothing worked. Your first 3 exercises already gave me so much relief. I will keep doing them and hopefully bring back my shoulders to the pink of health. Thank you very much.

Hi I'm from Pakistan and I started feeling a pain in top back of my shoulder. I guess it was because of wide grip bench press and over head military press, with my hand going back and neck moving forward. Thanks for this video. I always did a dead hanging exercise 2-3 days a week and then I stopped a couple of months back. It used to relax all my upper body joints. Thanks. God bless.
Thank you for this video. It helped me.
