Great video. Thank you. I love to work with shoulder girgle using deep tissue massage, other sort tissue techniques and Kaltenborn-Evjenth orthopedic manual therapy but sometimes also components of PNF. Those techniques you shown is absolutely base of manual therapy treatment. Shoulder is a very hard area to freet but effects are sometimes spectacular. Also checking C and upper TH mobility is necessary :) Best regards for you and thanjs again

Hi john, I'm currently level 3 sports massage therapist, I'm registered with the STA. I've been looking at your courses to enhance my knowledge and skills, but I'm unsure what ones are suitable to me at my current level. I'm looking to add to my CPD..... any advice would be gratefully received. Obviously online would be best at the moment as I work full time but would love to transition into doing massage full time, but my confidence is quite low l.

Hi, I have a Vital Shoulder course and Cervical spine in Oct, plus METs, so have a look at website and most therapists are similar so you will fit in perfectly - regards JG

What kind of specialist would I go to and have this done. I’m all pinched up in my shoulder. Diagnosed with slap tear through arthogram, scapular dyskinesis and bicep tendinitis but no matter how much rehab I do its still just so off. Tons of research and becoming in tune with my body I have come to the conclusion that what you are describing is almost spot on what is happening. My shoulder is slightly rounded my one scapula does not fire like the other one and it feels like it is pinching the supraspinatus, the bicep etc. I lift weights and fight through it but it really makes it stand out. Like when I try to do scapula push-ups when I come into scapular retraction my shoulder feels like it is just pinching everything like it isn’t lined up and I have to rock it back to do it. Most of what I read talks about the impingement to and at 90 degrees but my shoulder pops/cracks at like 110-120 degrees every time. Anyway just sharing long story lol but I really feel like I would like to have something like this tried so what kind of specialists would I go to and ask to have this done?

Thank you so much for this! I just had one question, if the patient's symptoms go down after this technique do we prescribe a strengthening home exercise program immediately for the RC muscles?

Not always as sometimes the symptoms disappear after the treatment as you have improved the function to the joint etc, regards JG

I live in California and want to take your classes, but STO is not accredited with PTBC. How do we get you accredited for PT's in CA? OR, is there someone in the US you recommend? Your method of teaching really clicks with me.

[@newts1964]

hi John maybe off topic but I recently had acdf surgery c4-6 I only do the recommended physio exercises but find the shoulder shrugs cause soreness in the traps....is this a case of backing off or continue with less reps for example I've been discharged from hospital care after only 3 sessions and I'm in process of recovery at present

[@JohnGibbons]

Hi, I wouldn't personally do shoulder shrugs as a non functional exercise and can irritate the issue - simple range of motion exercises for the cervical and shoulder to maintain mobility would be better, regards JG

[@francescoalbano8619]

Does this work if someone comes at the clinic with shoulder bursitis?

[@reallionking7825]

thanks very much , can l know how re educate infraspinatus and sub scapularis action that stabilize head of humerus and prevent excessive upward gliding during action of deltoid

[@JohnGibbons]

It is difficult to explain but I have covered that a little in this video as i get the patient to adduct - causing a contraction and subsequently strengthening of the subscapularis, which then helps to increase the space superiorly above the humeral head within the subacromial space. Hope that helps, regards JG

[@StefanoCreator]

do you know anyone who is familiar with this technique in Los Angeles? Thank you

[@kannank9251]

does this only give you a temporary relief or is it going to fix the pain permanently in few weeks?

[@JohnGibbons]

A bit of both for some of my patients, regards JG

[@alikijones9314]

Yes, please. I have a partial tear to my supraspinatus, inflamed Bursa and calcification on joint. Would this still be ok? As I'm struggling to move my shoulder in full range and my scapula seems not to move. Which is causing issues with pins and needles to my hands, and lots of pain in my elbows. Thou I have been given an MRI and C5, 6 & 7 are prolapsed too. Which is also giving me major issues. I told I needed help. 😞 I will and get some one to do these on the ones I can't do myself if I can. Thanks

[@JohnGibbons]

Not possible to do yourself as the technique is generally done by the therapist, regards jG

[@federerized493]

Hi John, excellent video! Sometimes, I hear an abnormal crackling sound when I adduct my arm horizontally but, the pain is usually less than moderate. This happens only if I adduct my arm horizontally, I play tennis but this doesn't happen when I'm training. Do I have anything to worry about?

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for comments and as long as not painful then i wouldn't worry about it as shoulders often crack, normally it is ligaments flicking over bones, regards JG

Hi John, I have a painful clicking shoulder on the front/outer part of the shoulder and a non-painful clicking sternum. I've been avoiding things like shoulder press and bench press and have been doing more pulling movements/external rotations with bands instead. What kind of problem(s) do you think I have with my shoulder/chest and is there any movement that might cure these symptoms?

[@JohnGibbons]

Hard to say without looking at you - if the click repeats on the shoulder then probably a tendon or ligament flicking and as long as it says non-painful then try not to worry about it. If not sure then see someone like me where you live, regards JG

[@intenselifter5538]

@@JohnGibbons I think you are right. I think I have a tendon or ligament flicking which is pulling the shoulder and the shoulder is pulling the sternum. Something which has helped me tremendously is performing light weight corrective presses with cables rather than doing a barbell bench press and being strained on a fixed position. I am about 6'4" with longer arms so some exercises I perform at the gym I have to modify. How would you teach someone like myself how to correctively press?

[@bilalturkan8004]

My impingement comes and goes and its really becoming annoying. Im a bodybuilder where im really trying 100% to have meticulous form. Ice tends to heal it for 10 min. Anti inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and paracetamol I feel like they make things worse. I did all the exercises in the world nothing is helping. How I would accurately describe it is discomfit and irritation "my range of motion is normal" it's like I living with the discomfort. What should I do?

[@robcox3036]

Hello, your range of motion is normal? As in you feel no clunking when you abduct or extend? But you feel pain?

[@bilalturkan8004]

Rob Cox pain would be an overstatement. My range of motion isn’t inspired however, if I’d describe it simply my joints etc are very uncomfortable to a point where I keep wanting to pop my shoulder or just chop it off. You know that feeling where you constantly just wanna crack your fingers ? Along with the discomfort eventually it’s painful
