Best 3 Exercises to Fix Shoulder Impingement

[@8103andrew]

I've done so many exercises and stretches from many different videos. This has been far and away the most helpful for me. Thank you.

[@TomMorrison]

You're so welcome! Keep them up for a good while!

[@8103andrew]

@TomMorrison I will certainly. Thank you again. Feeling super hopeful for the first Time in ages

[@virtuafighter3]

I subscribed to this channel now. Good instruction here. Using 2 people here + text to teach is so useful.

[@TomMorrison]

Welcome aboard! Love to hear that!!

[@emmetboyle3527]

Miraculous, what can I say other than that. The osteopath and numerous videos professing to have the cure for shoulder impingement did little to alleviate 18 months of utter frustration. Then I came across this video and have since purchased the SMM on the basis of the results I got from these three wonder moves. A week in and I was noticing a difference but I dared not to believe. Another week and there was no mistaking that something was happening, yet such was my previous experience I still did not allow a smile of triumph. However after a month, I dropped my defences, I had no choice, the pinching had gone from a 10 down to a two. And I believe that two is based more on muscle memory than reality. Thank you Tom and Jenni from the bottom of my heart.

[@TomMorrison]

Ah that is fantastic news!! Keep these up alongside SMM for another few months for sure before relaxing off a bit!

[@5cylinderisbest]

Wtf. 3 reps of the first exercise has already almost completely taken away my shoulder pain. 2 years multiple dr appointments, a script for painkillers and there was only slow improvement over that entire time. 3 reps and now I have the same range in both shoulders, with just a tiny ping of pain at the extreme.

[@TomMorrison]

Excellent! Keep it up for a few weeks often and hopefully it’ll keep improving 💪🏼💪🏼

[@ryan_hunan]

Hey Tom, can we do more than 3 reps or should we just do the 9 reps total??

[@kenonrusnak1939]

Your email that had the link for this video came at the right time! I'll definitely be incorporating these into my day!

Tom this is brilliant; I’ve been suffering with an impingement for over a year. I’m going to stick to this daily and report back. Thank you both so much

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

[@allano48]

Thanks Tom. 🤞🏽 this works for me. I had an op for my left which worked now my right is giving me the same hassle. I hope these work without the op. I’ll get back to you on my progress 👍🏽

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome, these are ok to work on daily!

[@paranoiaqueen8515]

Great exercise, it's what I needed 👌 thank you ❤

[@TomMorrison]

You're so welcome!

[@geniflute]

Simply the best!

[@llllKyonllll]

The differentiation on these three exercises was crazy for me. I can do the 2nd and 3de no problem, but the first one (on one side) I’m basically stuck in the stretched arm starting position! I will try these for a while and look at upper back movement more after. Thanks!

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome, yes you’re ok to do these all 1-2 times per day! May take a few weeks for things to open up!

[@EricaCottle]

Thanks Tom!

[@TomMorrison]

You are very welcome!!!!

[@Grumpyoldman666]

These look awesome and not much setup, I’ll definitely be giving them a shot

[@TomMorrison]

Yes I’m a big fan of things you can do from home too!

[@trueformtherapies4073]

Excellent exercises

[@TomMorrison]

They’re awesome yeah!!

[@TheMerkilan]

I had frozen should years ago and though that is fixed, I'm r noticed it is starting again. Every day I rotate my arms to try and keep my shoulder from locking up. Thank you for this video, I can add these movements and hopefully keep my shoulders healthy.

[@dassilbelloul]

Can you do one for shoulder tendonitis? PLEASE

[@bbygurl101ful]

Will these help for a frozen left shoulder.

[@kaloustaphae]

Thanks for this. Does shoulder impingement always feel like pinching? I sometimes get soreness at the front of my shoulder, almost like a nerve is being stretched there. It tends to happen when I move my arm and my shoulder is rolled forwards. Compression forces, like in a bridge press or side plank, tend to leave it aggravated for a while too, but it never feels like pinching.

[@TomMorrison]

Sounds more like an irritation yeah! Could be more stability related if your range is ok with no restrictions, things like bottoms up kettlebell presses would be good to test on each side to see if there’s a noticeable difference in strength

[@kaloustaphae]

@@TomMorrison Thanks, Tom, I'll give it a go!

[@jakepeters4426]

Do I do this before or after a workout

[@TomMorrison]

before will be best!

[@clairebarrett3359]

Can you do these stretches exercises for a new injury. I have this for a week from swimming-overuse

Would be good to get in person guidance if it’s quite acute currently!

Awesome!

[@tbasshandyman7610]

Ty they do provide some relief but after a lifetime swinging hammer and carry heavy on my shoulder .Dr. said no fix for it

[@TomMorrison]

No reason it can’t be helped, sounds like you went to the wrong doctor for it, hit up a good sports physio and start doing our stuff daily and you could totally rewrite how it feels

[@tbasshandyman7610]

[@teresajames3228]

Hi I have right shoulder joint pain and weakness. I am doing lots of shoulder exercises alternate days and feel flexible yet the pain persists, shall I just keep doing it all ? Is there anything else I can do? Thanks

[@TomMorrison]

Check more the stability of things in that case, the bottoms up kettlebell press is a good one to test

[@mikesmenagerie6392]

How about if the pain is in the scapula? In the back. Is this still a impigment?

[@TomMorrison]

The drills in this will still be super helpful yes, some hanging would be great too!

[@dhonkeypunch]

i have no idea what impingement means but i know you always have great advice and execution of your explanation so i will do what youre doing in the video no matter what

[@TomMorrison]

It would be if when you raise your arm at certain angles you feel a sharp pinching pain in your shoulder 😄

[@elainehopkins7904]

Can the pain from a shoulder impingement be felt in the deltoid?

[@bbygurl101ful]

Will these exercises help for a frozen left shoulder.

[@TomMorrison]

Always best to get in person guidance for that as the exercises you’ll need will be different depending on how your shoulder is able to move currently

[@kimsk4962]

After lingering pain in front of my shoulder, was diagnosed with joint degeneration (nice way of saying early arthritis). Physio helped, and I’ve continued the exercises, but now want to strengthen my shoulders. Would these exercises help me?

[@TomMorrison]

Absolutely! You’d be surprised at how many symptoms happen just from lack of regular full joint movement

[@chrishogan7791]

I just had surgery for blood clots in the subclavian artery, last Tuesday 6/3. Is it too soon to do these exercises?

[@TomMorrison]

Would definitely keep with in person guidance with that one, in person physio would be ideal to help you start moving again too

[@deniserosner796]

Hi! I love you guys! You have saved me from surgery! Doing really great with your SMM workout. But I’m wondering and have been waiting for you to address why it’s more advantageous to do the shoulder rotations while on all fours as opposed to just sitting and rolling your shoulders the way Jennie did before getting on all fours? Besides the fact that it’s so hard to do, so I don’t tend to do it, just doing the shoulder rotations sitting, as part of my routine every morning to get this body moving, seems to do the trick. Thank you for everything!🥰

[@TomMorrison]

You want the feedback of pressure from the ground and you want to train the ability to dissociate the elbows from the shoulders too, when you’re upright you allow everything to move at the same time, there’s benefits to both like, so just do both 💪🏼

[@deniserosner796]

@@TomMorrison Ahhhh, okay now I understand. Thank you!🥰

[@BlackMesaTrainee]

Could impingement contribute to an inhibition of the deltoid and/or biceps muscle?

[@TomMorrison]

Can do, always good to go after full joint function and then the muscles will usually figure themselves out 💪🏼

[@jerrettfarmer]

Could you do a shoulder video for people in a wheelchair, please? People who wheel themselves around all day develop all sorts of issues, but they can’t do a lot of the amazing exercises you show because they are in a sitting position.

[@TomMorrison]

Have you checked out Jenni’s 26 minute shoulder follow along yet?? You’ll need to do a little bit of adapting but I reckon a few run throughs of it and you’ll have a tonne of ideas!! I’ll put some seated things on our list to make!

[@jerrettfarmer]

I think your psychic.

Also the huge knot in my upper trap is gone. Such a relief. Just wanted to say a massive thanks for all that you do 😊.

[@TomMorrison]

oh amazing!! Thank you so much for letting us know!! So happy to hear about your progress 💪🏻💪🏻

Would maybe try physio first before anything drastic

Thanks for your kind reply. Been at the Physio for 15 months and 2 cortisone injections. I have 2 large rotator cuff tears..sub scap and supra spinatis and bursitis. But I will hope for the best.

[@secuestradosenpolonia4999]

Please read my story. I've been dealing with shoulder impingement for over three months. After watching countless videos on exercises and stretches on KZbin and diligently following them with perseverance, I feel like for every step forward, I take one step back. While these exercises offer immediate relief-let’s be honest, ‘immediate’ really means ‘temporary’-I’ve only experienced slight improvement overall. My question is: HAS ANYONE OF YOU EVER COMPLETELY HEALED FROM SHOULDER IMPINEGEMENT ONCE AND FOR ALL??? If you have, please share your experience and story in the comments. I’m feeling frustrated and desperate, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@TomMorrison]

have you tried the exercises in this video?

[@JackMarci]

Every day?

[@TomMorrison]

Yes one to two times per day until it stops being an issue is ideal!

[@JackMarci]

@@TomMorrison Thanks Tom, very usefull!

[@midwestsuncatcher]

unfortunately my movement on the first one is minimal. I can barely retract it. I'll keep trying but shoulder is definitely locked down and it hurts to do so.

[@TomMorrison]

Would need to keep with in person guidance at this point then

[@michaelwinter742]

[@-The-Golden-God-]

My pinching isn't at the front. It's at the side. I've had it for about 15 years and nothing helps

[@TomMorrison]

Have you had an MRI scan yet?

[@-The-Golden-God-]

@@TomMorrison Numerous over the years. Originally they're said I had a torn rotator cuff and performed surgery, but that left me in more pain. Ever since then I've been in and out of physio and now they're saying that I have bursitis. All the exercises that the physio gave me caused flare ups. I'm stuck in a loop of rehab > flare up > rest for days/weeks > repeat

[@matenorth]

​@@-The-Golden-God- It's TMS. Google "shoulder torn rotator cuff or bursitis TMS wiki" From now on,when googling symptoms,after the symptom always include tms wiki.

you can do all those exercises either sitting or with your hands on a wall 😁

[@ericmalitz]

The problem is: what’s next? Will need a progression. Also what you call overextension is just fuller range of motion; but yes obviously the average person is weak in that range.

[@TomMorrison]

You start back training lighter, progress with bands and stability exercises, we have a 26 min shoulder follow along that would be the next step
