7 Rotator Cuff Exercises For Pain Relief (Non-Surgery Rehab) (Giveaway)

[@Naomi_wella]

34 years old, been suffering with rotator cuff on and off for 6 years. My shoulder hurt so bad before bed that my bicep felt heavy. I couldn’t sleep. Stood up and did some of these and got some relief almost immediately. I still have work to do obviously but I’m pregnant and just want to get to term without suffering . Thank you

[@yesibot.2051]

I’m 33 and been having on and off pain for 5 years. It gets worse at night and it won’t let me sleep. I hope these work!

[@lonewolf77771]

People, please don’t rush to judgment…he recently revealed he has a medical condition causing this, not just cysts. We should all send him good thoughts and wishes.

[@tracy3812]

I took a fall in August going down my driveway. Knocked myself out and really thought I fractured my humerus...tore rotator cuff. Wish it had been a fracture but no osteopenia/porosis here. Starting these exercises while I wait for PT to have an opening. You guys help me so frequently. Thank-you.

[@davida.7967]

You guys have helped me through 3 lumbar surgeries(L2, L3, L4). And I've never commented, or said anything in the comments... Thank you kind sir's for all you do. I'm back again now. THIS TIME is For my shoulder.

[@Mike-sz9hi]

I've been dealing with my own shoulder impingement issues for a while now, by loosening my tight chest/shoulders and strengthening my rotator cuff and lower traps. I've had it bad, and ignored the pain or years, which of course only makes it worse. At first I was getting my information from various sources... it seems like problems with external rotators and stiffness in the chest and shoulders are common these days, so everyone has something to say about it. The journey to fixing the problem has been slow, and just when I think I'm on the right path, some new confusing element pops up. Which brings me to my point; every time I'm uncertain, it's one of your videos that goes over the answer to the exact issue I'm having, and not just the same good-but-generic information I see from other sources. I appreciate the specifics you go through and I feel genuinely helped by your videos. Thanks for what you continue to do.

[@gingersnaps9674]

Thank you sooo much! Your video and a few others helped me out so much! After months of being in pain I found you and did the exercises and tips over the course of a few weeks (some exercises more than others a few days per week) and my pain is 100% gone.

[@heyphilphil]

The chicken wing totally stopped/released/stretched the pain in my right rotator cuff...from weights. It always feels tweaked. I do it like 3 times a week and feels like I have normal shoulder again. Amazing!

[@JustBreathewithRachelGreene]

That's awesome results. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try it with my clients. So many guys get shoulder impingements from using weights.

[@sinfuldavy0]

With the chicken wing exercise do you pull on both ends to effect both shoulder joints?

[@jonnybricks22]

Exact same thing with me. Theyre giving away top tier rehab for free!

[@alwaysbetruetoyou]

Thank you so much for all that you share. I particularly love this video as I have had both of my shoulders messed up. The last was my right & a PT collapsed on it while getting into the shower. I held him there for 10 minutes.. OUCH! It didn't hurt at first. I believe it was the next day that it started letting me know it wasn't happy. It took me a year before it started feeling normal. Both get tight ( for lack of a better word ) so, I will be utilizing the exercises you have shared in this video... From Arizona, thank you again & have a happy week. Kim :)

[@BR-hi6yt]

I injured my RC simply from sleeping with one arm over my head (somehow). I needed 2 years and those exercises to correct it. Now I NEVER sleep with an arm up or under my head as a pillow - no no no

[@StacyLeonhardt]

This is exactly what I came here for today!! Thanks Bob & Brad, hope you're all well!!

[@eonlinehelp]

Thx! Great video!. Excellent tips! I have a slight tear in my left rotator cuff which happened while using a walker right after a left hip replacement surgery about 7weeks ago. I did not immediately have a raised toilet seat the 1st few days and was using the walker to sit and stand very low. As a result, I overextended my left shoulder. Since I am stii receiving PT for my hip, my insurance will only cover one body part/area at a time

[@BossHossStudios]

I love these guys. I swear they get hammered before the videos. Hell drink during the videos to make it exciting

[@bethanym9251]

Iv'e been working with my PT on that external rotation too and having a really hard time! Going to try the rest of these exercises later today. Thank you gentlemen!

[@ChicagoJ351]

I keep re-injuring my right shoulder, and I lift weights and exercise regularly. Where I feel it the most is when I do a motion like washing your hair in the shower. On the way down, I can really feel it. Especially when my arm is above the shoulder. The stretch where they were seated and leaning forward with the bar, that one seemed to help. I've modified this to a standard stetch I've seen before where you get down on your knees and reach your arms far forward similar to a superman, then lean forward. Sometimes people use this to stretch the upper lats, if you bend to the side a bit. I've also had upper lat pain, which I would guess is related. My upper back is starting to have a small spinal curve too, so Its possible these are all related. I'm a fitness person, so I just want to add stretches/exercises to strengthen the area to prevent issues in the future. Regular weight lifting isn't fixing the problem. Overhead press, push ups, I'm strong on those movements, but they aren't fixing this issue. I'll try some of this out, probably add pull aparts and face pulls with bands, see how it goes. Really appreciate the info!

[@VanishingNomad]

One thing I have really found to help, is to throw boxer punch combinations, slow and easy untill the shoulder and arm is nice and warmed up. THEN do these exercises. That takes about 20 minutes. The circulation seems to be very helpful. I do them nice and easy though. If a Boxing coach saw this, he'd be telling me I am being lazy, and just 'sluffing' through the motion, rather than actually punching. That the key. Between that, and all your exercises, I am slowly feeling better and better every day. I can even do pushups again. (12 only, once a week. No more than that). You guys really helped me heal.

[@dmax7029]

Thank you so much sirs I love the liberty movement

[@truenorthmuskoka9077]

OMG my shoulder feels so much better already. Fingers crossed🤞🏻 it continues. Went to figure painting yesterday for the first time since BC aka Before Covid and my shoulder went beserck. Couldn’t raise my arm above my shoulder at all. Lots of pain. Now I can raise my shoulder. Still not great but will continue and hope for improvements. Thanks so much for your content. Really did not want to have surgery at all. I will soldier on!!

[@TheeGoldenGoddess1]

A speedy recovery to you Bob, tfs guys.

[@5941jeff]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for sharing this information. This is just what I was looking for ❤️

[@anyascelticcreations]

One of my personal trainer friends at the gym taught me the external shoulder rotator and scapular retractor strengthing ecercises using the bands. Those exercises worked great for me! They improved my posture, too. Getting a memory foam mattress helped a lot, too. My joints are too loose, so I was injuring my shoulders by laying on them at night.

[@BR-hi6yt]

Can you have "loose" joints? - like a worn big-end bearing that wobbles around

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@BR-hi6yt Yes, you definitely can. In my case, it's really more that my ligaments are too loose which doesn't hold things together well enough. My joints throughout my body move around too much because of that. But one doctor said that I probably have hip dysplasia, too. You hear of that in large breed dogs. It's basically where the socket part of the ball and socket joint is not socket-like enough. So the ball part of the joint slips around easily. I don't know if that's really the case for me or not. (We never had me x-rayed for it) But my hips (the ball part) can slip out of place easily if I move just right. My ribs slip in and out of place, too. Again, confirmed by the doctor. So, yes. Having unstable, loose, easily injured joints is a real thing.

[@amylaw3416]

@@anyascelticcreations look into EDS. It is an official syndrome.

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@amylaw3416 Yes, I've run across it by accident a few times online. I do fit all the criteria. I'm disgnosed with hypermobility, which is a part of EDS. But I lost health-care many years ago. So getting diagnosed with anything would be difficult for me now. You're probably right, though. Along with a bunch of other stuff.

I went to rehab this summer for shoulder pain with no relief. I had a MRI done that shows a rotator cuff injury. It's not torn through which is the only thing I understood on the write up. I have to see an Orthopedic Dr. now.

[@juanaguilarjr3864]

Always very informative. I'm 50 years young and have been playing recreational softball for about 25 years and just recently I've been experiencing pain in the middle of my delts on my back swing, follow thru. Maybe some advice on this, thank you.

[@anyascelticcreations]

Do you stretch and warm up first? That becomes more important as we get older. Staying hydrated is more important for avoiding stuff like that as we age, too.

[@shashykfit]

U guys r amazing, learn a lot n also laugh a lot . Love how real u r

[@mokyan7]

I’ll watch through the exercises and try them out. My shoulder is feeling painful when I do push-ups, side planks, or kettlebell overhead press. It feels like the middle/rear deltoid area. But it feels like the shoulder joint. If I hold a weight overhead it doesn’t bother me, it’s just a transition from shoulder to straight up.

[@xandergisbey5402]

I think I have a very similar injury, what did you find help?

[@mokyan7]

@@xandergisbey5402 You know I was praying each day about it, working on mobility and stretching, and I limited my overhead kettle bell presses for a few weeks. And looking back on it, I think what caused it was that I was doing L-sit type holds on the stairway railings at work. They are a bit wider than parallel bars though, and I’m wondering if I was pushing in at an angle and jamming my shoulder socket. So now I don’t do those on the bars at work stairwells

[@elberthiggins6667]

My biggest problem that I can mention publicly is pain/weakness in my shoulder. I'll try these and keep you posted.

[@walkertongdee]

It only hurts when I exercise, an easy fix.

[@CantFixStupidCanI]

I have a few questions. 1. I’m a long haul semi truck driver so I don’t have access to the rubber band or a ball. I do have access to a heron handle so I guess doing something is better than nothing. 2. So when doing any of the stretches or the strengthening if you experience pain do you just do a smaller rotation etc until strength and (less pain over time) happens or just stop all together if experiencing pain?

[@JustAlbanian1]

I have suffered with my rotator cuff for 6 years or so, did these for a month or more and I felt like my rotator cuff was healed but then I started doing push ups, do I need to do strengethening exercises for rotator cuff before I start working out? I"d really appreciate an answer ☺️

[@Ayram9]

Just ordered the booya stick and resistance bands, thank you! Question: out of all the products you sell or recommend, which ones are most likely to help most people with torn rotator cuffs, regardless of what type and where specifically their pain hurts? My concern is buying a product that is only helpful and tolerable pain-wise to some - not most - of those with injured rotator cuffs. In my case there all 2 small tears so not known yet whether surgery will be a must. Thanks so much!

I have noticed lately that my hand and arm go to sleep and numb when holding on to the steering wheel while driving. Any suggestions on what part of the body that can be contributing to this nuisance and exercises to try to resolve this issue.

[@anyascelticcreations]

Probably middle and anterior scalenes. It's difficult to describe in a comment how to fix them. But you can probably find a KZbin video about how to. When tight the scalenes trap the throracic nerve which you'll feel down your arm into your fingers. And they often refer unrelenting pain to the midback. If you have a mysterious unrelenting pain in your midback, it's likely caused by that, too. If your scalenes are tight they will definitely cause problems in the position that you described. And if they're that bad they're likely bugging your midback, too. By the way, thanks for the reminder. It's time for me to work on mine again, too. PS. Be very gentle with yourself when working on your scalenes. They are pretty delicate. And they're sureounded by a lot of blood vessels and nerves. You can definitely do it. But research how first and be gentle. I hope that helps!

[@michaeld6262]

One more comment related to cuff "injuries". If you are a heavy computer user and are typing and using a mouse for hours at a time, stop and take frequent breaks, and do some of the stretches in between. BTW, looks like my last comment making suggestions about bands, and resistance tubing use and where you can buy them, just disappeared. Is that called a "free speech violation"? As a PHN in CA, for over 37 years, I thought my experience with patients who had sports injuries was quite valuable. If someone didn't like the facts presented, the rest of your viewers missed some really significant information that might have helped them in their recovery. Bummer....
