Fix 90% Of Shoulder Pain With These 3 Exercises

[@mastermeow1582]

Underrated channel. Been regressing my breathing since my diaphragm breathing became better which was good. But started belly breathing more causing pain in my back. Just the reminder helped fix my back pain. I do have shoulder pain that I’ve been trying to fix. You bet I’ll be trying these excercises

HOW COME NO ONE TEACHES THIS STUFF. IT'S GOLD!

[@gelbage]

Don’t tell my wife, but I love you ❤

[@evakatz6351]

I’ve watched a million videos like this, but the way you explain it with the skeleton is really helpful.

[@FrenchCanadianGuy]

Those exercices and chilling out like [you] told us before just really helped me feel better. Thanks

[@Sam21872]

Conor, thank you for continuing to release these videos! They have been incredibly helpful. I really appreciate the concise and clear demonstrations and explanations of why each exercise is useful. I noticed that the second exercise VERY closely resembles my slouched posture when I sit at a desk with one arm extended and resting on a computer mouse. I've been spending probably 10+ hours a day in this position, but only on one side. I've already switched to using my left hand but I'll be spending a lot of time on these exercises.

[@CiaranEire]

The stretch from exercise 2 felt incredible!

[@fireflameft2964]

Hey man I'm following and trying to do all your left AIC material and just wanted to say you are the goat man, you made me realize I have that problem I fit perfectly fit the mold for left AIC. I first I realized my right glute wasn't firing while deadlifting, then I realized my right hip was rised , then I saw there were problems with my right scapula and thus problems with arm movement and shoulder. And then I found your material and it all perfectly made sense, my left hip is forwards, my right is backwards my right arm/scapula is forwards and my left side is the opposite. 100% me. I've been like this for probably more than a decade. I first vaguely realized how I had trouble with squats and my hips felt weird back when I was 18 but I was clueless. Now 10 years later and some injuries not related to left AIC but that probably make it even worse I'm going to try to get my body out of this limiting position with all the wonderful material you upload. Thank you.

[@MrAdrian13]

I have a very similar story to you! I have left aic pattern and I’m 30. I’ve been doing his beginner body restoration program plus a couple of his hip impingement exercises and it’s so healing. I still have a long road to recovery but I know I’m on the right path. I’ve seen 4 other doctors and none of them told me about this biomechanics stuff

[@nowamajormotionpictureeven3797]

This is a really great analysis!

Thank you so much for your videos. I really appreciate how you explain & show everything so well, you definitively have a unique and very helpful approach. Hope your channel grows further, what you teach is extremely valuable :)

[@jezusrodriguez6266]

Hey Conor, would you please at some point discuss how these subtle exercises actually do anything. I have a hard time staying consistent and doing them with any frequency because they just don't feel like they are doing anything.

[@thund3rzzz813]

They are supposed to help with tight muscles & relax the musculature. Usually shoulder pain & tightness go hand & hand via muscle guarding. If your tightness is due to weakness then these will provide you with a temporary window to strengthen in increased ROM before it tightens back up. You might not have any tightness to begin with in which case it is not going to have much impact, and strengthening would be far more effective for you. If you are hypermobile and in pain it probably isn't helpful either.

[@Hugo97HD]

Brother check Tom Morrison on KZbin, I think that his approach to shoulder health is a good first step in the right direction. It's helped me a lot.

[@PowerScissor]

99% of these are aimed at people that have been doing simple, often overlooked things, like breathing wrong their whole lives. If you did any athletics at high level, and did it properly, you are likely much more in tune with your body than the Average Joe. These will just feel like how you always breathe if you are already an active person in tune with how their body works. If you've spent your whole life on a couch at home, and at a computer at work...then you can really develop some strange ways of doing things like breathing and odd postures. There's some really good helpful movements / exercises out there for shoulders, but you will have to sift through all the ones that just take you through movements you already do all day every day, and aren't for you. These titles "Fix 90% of shoulder pain Forever by changing how you blink" titles certainly don't help.

[@amuginho7535]

For me aggressive sighs work way better. If I just relax and breathe in and out moderately I dont feel anything and it doesnt reflect into my training. Really appreciate the focus on ribcage tho, thats what was missing for me for a long time.

[@jermProbably]

My man. This is precisely the information I was looking for. Thank you for all your great videos man!

[@murnoth]

Your channel is Gold!

[@gunslinger_burrito9531]

Conor, thank you. I have two questions regarding drill #2, if you see this comment. One: in the long seated position, how important is it for the feet to remain somewhat straight up and down? Mine tend to externally rotate. Two: Any thoughts/tips on what to do if I feel my ribcage moving forward excessively when pulling the arms back? It feels like my ribs shove forward and my neck wants to extend a lot. thanks for the awesome content. Your explanations are invaluble.

I give a LIKE before even watching it, because I know it will be good. Thank you for your channel Conor :) your excersices are very helpful, god bless you :)

[@conorharris]

I appreciate you my friend 🙂

[@EduardoOliveira-fs2rl]

Thanks for the great content

[@yvonnezhao9286]

Our shoulders r taking too much responsibilities we often don’t see it mindfully. Human shoulders were evolved tight and we make them even tighter in this life by giving them too much to carry, except our heads and necks, our emotions too, especially for women who have to double the effort physically to stand tall (plus female usually has thinner back than male). That tense can lead to shrug shoulders, shoulder slope or shoulder injury and etc.. so so important to give shoulders the rest in space initially for anything later to add on, (either fight or flight). Huge thanks for this kind of talk, Conor.

[@naomiwatts-yd3yk]

I felt better just watching this can’t wait to try…chronic bursitis in the right shoulder for two years now the left is starting and I live on pain killers…so over it 😢

[@0x_Vlad]

Hello Connor. Thank you very much for all the videos you're making! I'm on a journey of fixing my body for the last year and your content has been very helpful. I would like to ask if you have any advice for scoliosis? My upper part of the torso is going sideways to the right, causing my shoulders to not be directly above my hips but rather on the side. You can clearly see my upper torso tilted to the right from T6. Really trying to find a solution for this. Thank you.

[@kevinb7058]

Best video yet 👍

[@conorharris]

Glad you think so!

[@andreasrydstrom9112]

I tried the exercises and haven't really gotten relief, but maybe I've done them wrong. But I've gotten great relief from my back and shoulder pain since I discovered a simple exercises based on the principles you teach here. I start off sitting with a straight and relaxed posture and breathe out to activate the side abs, i hold my breath while I try to relax. Before I get a strong urge to breathe, I start to breathe in slowly. When I have filled my lungs i hold my breath again for a few seconds while I try to relax all the muscles in my back and chest without losing the posture or releasing air. I do small gentle movements during the breath holds to see where there is tension in the back and when i find tension I try to hold that position and relax. Doing this for a couple of minutes yesterday I was able to release some deep tension and pain I've had in my back between the spine and scapula for over a week. I suspect it originated from muscles connecting between the ribs and this gave me almost instant relief. Thank you for the great content!!

[@wendywyngaard2601]

I will definitely be trying this

[@Limeguy98]

I’m interested to hear your thoughts on deadhangs as an excercise to reduce shoulder pain. Is there a way to do them that effectively decompresses the ribcage?

[@ball1slife107]

Could you please do some content on wrist pain? THank you

[@enno_4753]

hey :) thanks for the video! can I combine the body restoration program with the shoulder one?

[@theloveparade]

Conner!!! I just wanted to let you know that this info worked WONDERS!!!!!! I had suffered from pain in this area for years, I would get adjusted and feel better for a bit but it would always come back. So, I've recently started consistent breath work and the pain was getting better, I thought maybe it was an increase in oxygen that triggered the relief either way I was grateful. But it would still linger and the longer I worked it would kick back up. Then! In looking up videos for diaphragm breathing yours came up I watched it, VERY HELPFUL, and was the PERFECT saugeway to this one! So I just instinctively started visualizing breathing into that upper back rib area and feeling the spread and the pain the next morning and EVER SINCE has gone from like 85% agony to like 3% the first day and 0% ever since. I can still sense that I'm elevating the shoulder out of habit, probably from years of coping with the pain, but the past n under that scapula is Gone!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you so so so much. Years of agony gone. You are amazing.

[@AM2K2]

4:16 - this 'slightly holding of tension in the abs' does this apply to all PRI style movements after exhaling? To prevent any back arching as you begin to inhale? Thanks

[@lukedunn6107]

Some of my back comes off when I pull back. I’m not squeezing my shoulder blades . I’m simply pulling the band apart until my elbows touch but my back and head want to move off the wall. What am I doing wrong? I see this very beneficial in helping with rows and getting that thoracic extension without flaring ribs

[@reyanrafiqpir2058]

As i upwardly rotate my arm i get anterior tilting of scalula Should i do these Escerises???

[@seanaugust8081]

I have a bump on the connection between my chest rib and sternum. When I fully exhale I feel the muscles in that area twitching. And when I fully inhale the rib in that spot pops. No pain in my chest. I get pain in my mid back on that side and down my forearm. Was wondering what this means?

[@marcusmckinnon8506]

what if you do have serious problems, like me i have shoulder subfluxation and AC JOINT DAMAGE PLUS MULTIPLE TENDONITISE. Do you have content for this ????

[@jackyclarke1545]

Thank you for this. What about if your ribcage is actually compressed rather than flared? Will these still work or should do something else? Thank you

[@vinnycostanzo7019]

Thank you!!!

[@takingsoulss]

thank you so much.

[@ze4949]

Hi Conor, great video again. I am experiencing the rig cage and breathing problems you described your videos. I also have very uncomfortable feeling/pain in the area connecting my arm and the body, probably the chest minor muscle area. Is there an exercise you will suggest? It will be great to see a video on that if I might request 😅

[@brianschuler2197]

Anyone know the name of that slant board in the second exercise?

[@GetThatWorkout]

Hello can you help me fix a shoulder issue?

[@iam_manassharma]

Hello! Mr Harris. A little off topic here But could serratus anterior tightness cause flared ribs? Thanks in Advance.

[@PantherBlackAudiRS]

How many sets/reps or are these just isometric? How many days per week?

[@TerminatorSAW2k]

How long and often I must make this exercises?

[@fsfs2778]

Do you do online consults?

[@d.devries4807]

It the reaching to activate the serratus anerior, or does it have other purpose?

[@filipstojsavljevic6074]

Purpose is to bring air into compresed posterior rib cage and expend it so the scauplas can move how it should.

[@d.devries4807]

@@filipstojsavljevic6074okay thanks! Is that because when you reach with your arms, your scapula moves to the side ? And makes room for the air

[@neinbruderja7519]

​@@d.devries4807 spot on

[@davidm9964]

I've had longstanding shoulder and mid back issues, and the exercises given to me by my physio haven't been entirely helpful. I'm going to give these exercises a go to see what happens.

[@s.wilson5675]

Ex. 2 slight similarities with South Mantis kung fu. A lot of what you show is bordering on kung fu style breathing/drills. Have you studied anything like this before?

[@Add_Account485]

I just took a deep breath in and it actually hurts my back sides just on the sides where the shoulder blades are I think?... What's that mean

[@Add_Account485]

WOW m. Your pretty clever

[@hubenbu]

You need to be in a relaxed state of mind to attract ladies. You need to relax and breathe to communicate a change to the brain. Relax! P.S. I didn't quite understand everything 4 months ago. The third exercise is an amazing isometric workout which builds tendons over time. Lovely!

[@jakkritphanomchit]

That's some decent plantar flexion in the first exercise dude, make a video on that 😉
