In my case, I actually hurt my right shoulder during a fall on my mountain bike. My front tire had gotten a puncture, and was a bit flat. I didn´t realize this, and when I took a sharp turn near the end of my ride, the front tire skidded and the bike completely flopped over, and I fell on my right side. My right arm and shoulder took most of the impact (and luckily I was wearing my helmet, as my head also hit the pavement). I had some emergency medical attention, and most of the issues (slight concussion, scraped elbows, etc.) have healed. But the shoulder is still bothering me (at the beginning, it was a challenge to even lift my right arm to wash my hair, face, and get dressed. But now that´s much better). I think it is an impingement, maybe tendinitis. I´ve tried a few exercises I´ve found on KZbin, but yours have been the most helpful. The injury happened in late July, 2023. It´s now late August. How long should it take to no longer feel shoulder pain? I´m trying to avoid going to the doctor, if possible. But if it continues, maybe I should seek medical attention. Thank you!!! 😁

I overused my right shoulder and have been having a rotator cuff tendonitis for over 2 years now

[@Raeters]

I torned my rotatorcuff during work and after healing I have gotten calcification at the tendon that was torn. It is really hurtful and am looking for ways to releave the sharp pain I get at some of the movements in the shoulder.

[@davidcornell6052]

I've watched several videos looking for treatments for my shoulder injury. This was the first one that made me feel like my shoulder was beginning to recover after doing the exercises just one time. Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

Wonderful! You are so welcome!

[@GracieShort-d8i]

Same! Pain got worse for 6 months. 1 session with these exercises it is 90% better ❤

Good morning Dr. Jared. You make the world a better place. Thanks

Thank you so much, salmenrob3! That means so much to me. I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!

Wish I saw this months ago. Damaged my shoulder golfing. I’m not a golfer, saw a massage therapist and made it worse. Did this for the first time this morning and already getting some relief. Thank you.

[@acrobrod1]

Thanks so much! I have had pain in my left shoulder for a year on and off. Your stretching and strengthening exercises have made my shoulder significantly better. I was lucky to find your videos. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

You're so welcome!

As I barrel into my 40's I'm using your videos more and more. Thank you.

[@wanrinaibaho1839]

Hi dr. Many thanks for this tutorial on how to fix the rotator cuff. Currently I am facing the rotator cuff and the doctor in the hospital gives suggestions for surgery however after watching this video I am very happy to follow your guidance. Once again thanks for this video and may God bless you

[@toneandtighten]

You are so welcome! Happy to help!

[@shevy1227]

Repetitive use and injury from year of cleaning jobs for me. I can barely get dressed the pain is so bad. This is a great video. Day 1 starting this and after one session, I can feel slight relief! I will update in a couple months how its going!

[@heidirees9647]

My shoulder pain was gradual. In 2002, I was in a bad car accident, I was hit by a semi and rolled my car twice. I had physical therapy after I initially healed from my accident. Over the last 20 years, my neck and shoulder pain gradually increased. I began seeing a chiropractor again about a year ago. He told me I have degenerative disc disease in my neck and the other day told me he believes I have tendinitis in my left shoulder, pretty sure they’re related. Trying to find good exercises to help with the pain and avoid it getting worse. I enjoy this exercises and stretches, they feel good and help relieve the pain. Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome!

[@NYC_CuriousG]

So many videos on this topic but I like and will stick to this routine. Thank you for this Dr. Jared! I hurt my shoulder lifting too heavy and with bad form. How long should we do this for and how do we know we are ready for heavy weights? I stopped in June and afraid to re-injure myself.

[@mahmoodalabbasi3448]

Great content very informative, if possible I wonder if these exercises help eliminate the crack sounds when I workout for shoulder joints. Othwise would you please explain the crackling in joints moving or working out, thank you ❤

[@kodeshministry4612]

The internal rotation stretch really helped. Thanks Doc!

[@craw405]

I've developed similar shoulder pain in both shoulders. Worse when sleeping. 100% due to barbell training/strength training over the past couple of months. I don't want to stop training, I'm hoping to add these exercises into my days to help. Great video, thanks, hope this can help.

[@deveshdighe]

Any results?

Perfect timing on this video - I've been dealing with rotator cuff tendinitis for about a week and a half now. Basically I overdid it with way too many overhead shoulder presses, combined with apparently some weak tiny shoulder muscles I'd never heard of before. I've been doing some stretching but definitely appreciate the strengthening exercises, as I never want to go through this again. Thank you!!

Ive developed rolled shoulders over last 20 years id say due to periods of depression. I started weight training last year and although i thought my form was ok perhaps not. Trying to think of this issue as something that will bring more attentiin into the body as im a bit of a dissociater. Thanks for your help

Thank you. How will I know if my shoulder pain is tendonitis or osteoarthritis? I only get nagging pain and occasional cracking sounds in the joint when I'm in bed. During the day I have reasonable mobility and little pain.

How often should you do the strengthening exercises?

[@kalvinderkaur8221]

I want to learning to do push-ups. Also learning butterfly stroke. And I have injured my shoulder. Can’t do both now. When can I get back to my regular training? I have been advised to not do butterfly stoke and freestyle. Also no push-ups of any kind 😢 Pls advise.

Do you have videos on abdominal stretches? I've been doing your 6 min core video & want to make sure I'm stretching my abs to but not sure how other than cobra pose

[@toneandtighten]

Hi Sherry! I'm thrilled you've been doing those core exercises and are seeing such great results. I currently don't have any abs stretching routines, but that's a great recommendation. I'll see what I can do in the future. Thanks for commenting!

[@devendrakumarks4859]

@toneandtighten I have been trying it for about a week now, how many weeks required to get rid of the impengement pain I have which gets worse when I rotate my hand internally or reach high up or even when I try to reach my back high up

[@devendrakumarks4859]

@toneandtighten

[@anawkwardturtle96]

2:34 my doctor diagnosed me with rotator cuff tendonitis and suggested these exercises, but I never have pain on that part of my shoulder, it's under my collarbone especially on the most medial part, is it possibly a misdiagnosis?

[@NewbNinjas]

I dislocated my shoulder a few years back, and although they say there was no permanent damage to my rotator cuff, my shoulder and neck have been really stiff, sore, and both shoulders often click when I do any basic movements. I often sleep with my arms above my head and I have to routinely stretch with my hands together in a triangle above my head, and push towards the ceiling until my shoulders crack otherwise it's so uncomfortable and I cannot sleep. Any ideas?

[@sidhantpandita4882]

I have all the symptoms go GIRD Syndrome. Internal rotation deficit, also problem while lifting overhead weights. Also MRI showed Mild tendinitis in supraspinatus and Subcoracoid bursal fluid. It's been 5 months I'm suffering from the pain, kindly suggest me the solution.

[@novalovan]

my mistake was doing weighted pull ups which tear my right shoulder, its been 6 month I cannot even do moderate weight tricep pushdown without pain

[@springteen3743]

You didn’t mention on how to get the inflammation down if it becomes difficult to do these exercises. 🙏

[@fliccedup...]

Ice your shoulder

[@zulmabontiffe487]

Is there an alternative to the exercise on the knees ? Bilateral knee surgery does not allow me to get on my knees for any reason. Not all positions during exercises work for people that have had knee replacement. Thanks .

[@toneandtighten]

Completely understandable! You can get a similar stretch via traction if you grab an overhead bar or doorframe and bend your knees slightly. If you can't reach that high, you can walk your hand up the side of a doorframe as high as you can and then slightly bend your knees. Hope you feel better, Zulma!

[@zulmabontiffe487]

@@toneandtighten thank you so much for responding so quickly. I had shoulder surgery last year and it still hurts on a scale of 4>5 most days. I also have arthritis that I think might be in my shoulders now. My surgeon gave me a shot of something and that was right after the surgery. I do have some discomfort now in both shoulders, with the right one having the repair done and still bothering me. I am pretty much mobile and am active with ADLS but with some pain.I did some rehab but it just did not work for me. Arthritis IS A MOTHER.🥶 THANKS AGAIN AND HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND
