Best Shoulder Impingement Stretching Exercises (NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED!)

Dr. Rowe shows the best AT HOME shoulder impingement stretching exercises that require no special equipment!
Shoulder impingement, or rotator cuff tendonitis, is when inflammation builds from repetitive rubbing of the rotator cuff soft tissue inside the shoulder capsule.
This leads to decreased shoulder range of motion (especially overhead), pain, and tightness.
We're going to focus on relieving this by stretching and strengthening the shoulder and rotator cuff, which may help reverse the affects of shoulder impingement.
All of these exercises can be done at home, don't require any special equipment, and can give quick relief -- even in as little as 30 SECONDS!
Watch now for the best shoulder impingement relief stretching exercises!

People with a passion for sport are watching your videos so satisfied that they feel the effectiveness of your exercises directly...just by watching 😇

[@debnn4854]

Not sure you would want to but here's an idea: massager reviews -i just bought the.electric shoulder one and it is helpful also :)

[@n.elliott9122]

I sure will. Thank you very much for all the videos.

[@vigneshwark447]

Doctor when I tilt my head down and touch chest with my chin my rhomboid feels like pulling and my shoulder blade hurts. When I tilt my head up (max) it hurts and my upper backbone feels like tight and hurts. I think I have pinched nerve somehow but I don't know exactly. Please give me a solution

[@markbaldwin7810]

This is the best video for shoulder impingement on KZbin, and believe me I watched a bunch!

[@electechchannel3739]

It’s official: you’ve covered everything that hurts in my body! Thank you!

You’re a true blessing brother!

[@aa-eq7fv]

Love your no nonsense, get to the point video. I'll be watching more thanks

[@mellymarie9612]

I want to thank you for making these educational self-help circuits!! I’ve been doing this routine for five days now and the relief is unbelievable! For others who are just getting started with the moves, stick to them, but also ensure that your posture throughout the day is excellent. That was a huge part of my issue - a dropped shoulder that is rotated forward and slightly rounded. Correcting for that, along with following great stretches and strengthening exercises these past few days and I’m already feeling so much better!! I truly felt hopeless less than a week ago. I’ve done physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, cortisone injections, and more. Turns out, none of this was addressing my poor posture and tight shoulder/upper back dysfunction.

[@Shikelya]

Thank you for helping me help my patients even better!

[@jaymburke]

Great video thanks. These exercises really helped me in my recovery from a shoulder impingement injury which took some 7 months to recover from. 🙏🏽👌🏽

[@zinoorr1056]

Thank you.. these hit my shoulders hard! I can’t wait to include these in my warm up

[@va1445]

Man, these feel great! I had some home exercises from PT but these are so much more thorough. My rotator cuff tendonitis really responded to these! It also feels really good in my upper back. Thanks so much!!! ♥

[@DrRowe]

Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!

I’ve had so much trouble with impingement these last few years. It could completely end a workout for me before it even begun. This helped quite a bit. I can really feel how much less tension there is. I’m gonna incorporate it into my warmups for sure. Thank you!

[@asav1976]

The exercise with your hands behind your back is stellar. I’ll have to remember to do that one.

[@kausamsalam8543]

Thank you. Will try these for the pains. Much appreciated.:)

[@alexandraferrer450]

🙏🏽 I honestly cannot thank you enough for posting these vids. I have gone to PT three times, and I felt so bad yesterday I jumped on looking for your vids. PT is not working for me. Shoulder impingment vid is exactly what I needed. I did it, then booked a deep tissue massage yesterday and now back to your vids to keep the elasticity of my muscles in check. Thank you so very much. I recommend you to anyone who will listen. Gratitude. 🙏🏽
