INCREDIBLE way to Fix Frozen Shoulder & Impingement - (NO Stretching or PT Exercises)

Any update?

[@xinqu5]

I have had the same problems for over 10 years, and I was getting worse after over 40. Believe me, exercise only helps slow down this progress, dramatically changing lifestyle is key.when body starts aging, the weakest parts always show up first, when getting chronic pain, whole body is under stress actually. Stop junk food, regular exercise, and try stress relief from life .I also used tcm for expelling body cold and damp. It's a key to cause muscles and connecting tissues to frozen. And trap too much waste all over body. Clean eat and exercise help body flows, and let waste out of body timely. Fat,sauger, salt retain water, cut as much as you can. Let body workout its natural way. After over 7 years tcm,plus exercise and eating healthy, I am pain-free, my shoulders, neck, migraine, hips and lower back pain and knees never felt so good, it's a dramatic recovery. It's hard long journey, but worth it for the life quality.

[@suze6083]

I feel you. I had a double frozen shoulder about 10 years ago. It was one of the most severe ones my doctors had ever seen. Honestly, I couldn’t lift my arms away from my body. Not kidding. There was zero movement or range of motion left…actually I was in the negative range…couldn’t even get my arms to neutral position. My arms even froze in an inwardly rotated posture with my shoulder blades poking out of my back and my collar bone lifted up. I suffered from severe muscle atrophy and deformation. The whole process took 4-5 years. I refused surgery and found a great therapist specialized on frozen shoulders…I still work on my range of motion to this day and got a lot back by now. The worst is my external and internal rotation still. Everything else is great. This has been hell and I feel so sorry when I hear from ppl who suffer from the same condition. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I’m so so sorry. I opted against surgery because my second shoulder started about 1 year into the end of phase one of my first shoulder. There was no point. It also was an idiopathic frozen shoulder…no injuries or post surgery…just started out of the blue. I hope you will get better and that you can keep the mobility gained from your surgery. Good luck.

[@justranda1]

Watching this with a frozen shoulder and every time you took his arm, I hurt!! I am so worried about my first PT visit next week. I got injured a month ago.. it's worse now from lack of use. Crazy how painful!!

[@travisthompson1679]

4:10 This is perfect. I don't see any other people talking like this. I've been to PTs and tried to figure this stuff out myself, but when you have compensations built up over years it's very hard to just not do the compensation. You really need a video or a person like this to explain it and show in detail how to target what's actually weak so you can be strong enough not to do the compensations. So many PTs just assign the exact exercises you are showing as being ineffective and don't even bother to ask where you are feeling it and making sure you are actually strengthening what needs to be strengthened.

[@adds8235]

Hi, how did you get on with these exercises? My PT is great but hasn't been able to sort my shoulder, hoping this video will be the fix

[@mangore623]

It was for me. I followed the advice given in these videos in late November. At the time, I was in continuous discomfort due to living with a four-year-old shoulder injury that was getting progressively worse, primarily due to lack of use/atrophied muscles. I was losing sleep at night due to the pain. My pain disappeared within two weeks of doing these exercises. It’s now been eight months since I began my recovery. On my last upper-body workout, I did three sets of 10 pull-ups, and three sets of 10 chin-ups, so the advice given in these videos definitely works. At this point last year, any exercise was out of the question. A month after starting these recuperative exercises, I started light weightlifting again. I began just barely being able to do a military press with 2.5lb dumbbells, and now I’m up to 50lb. These videos truly saved my life, that and having the instinct to avoid traditional PT, forging my own path, and getting right back into weightlifting as soon as the pain was gone. Yes, there was some discomfort and mild pain to begin with, but you quickly develop an instinct regarding the pain, and know just how far you can push things before potentially injuring yourself again.

[@lpjah8951]

Okay so went to the gym in pain and literally did the first 2 exercises with proper form and my pain disappeared. I have never felt such a nice burn in those muscles before. It was like turning them on took tension away from my neck and traps! ❤

[@nicholeenan2747]

I have had frozen shoulder for almost 20 years. I am been to several PTs, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, all through those years starting at 7 years. As my Family Dr. didn't have a clue what to do with me because there was no damage in the MRIs, or other testing. Just lack of movement. I couldn't sleep for about a year laying down, I had to use my recliner. The only thing that helped me sleep in bed was Shock Wave Therapy. One of my PTs told me that I have a muscle that is supposed to work when I raise my arm, but it doesn't budge. So watching your video, I can see that. I am gonna try these few exercises and see what happens. Thanks for sharing!

[@TarcinCat1]

what happend can you write the journey

[@mangore623]

I can. I’m now at the eighth month in my recovery after happily stumbling upon these videos last November. I hurt my left shoulder quite badly five years ago. How exactly, I do not know. It might have been a combination of heavy weightlifting plus doing a large house move shortly afterwards. The result was that I couldn’t raise my arm above shoulder height, and using my shoulder was painful. I decided (unwisely) to not see a doctor, and to just rest to see if the injury would heal itself. It didn’t. I was so busy in my life, that I didn’t have time to have my shoulder examined, and I just accommodated the discomfort. Four years later, and four years of not using my shoulder, meant that I was in pain most of the time as my muscles weakened, I hadn’t exercised since my injury, all my muscles on my left side of my upper body had atrophied, and the pain was waking me up at night. Desperate, I started doing an online search, as I just didn’t have the time to have my shoulder professionally assessed. And then I found these videos. This one specifically, and as soon as I had finished watching it, I immediately went to my garage where I keep my dumbbells, and started putting my recovery into motion…as it were. Within a week, the pain stopped. Within two weeks of doing these very basic exercises with tiny dumbbells, my range of motion increased. In December, I began light weightlifting again. I used to do the military press with 100lb dumbbells. It was very humbling to now just be able to do three repetitions with a 2.5lb dumbbell. I followed the advice given in these videos diligently, and to the letter. Where am I now? Three sets of ten pull-ups, and three sets of ten chin-ups. My muscularly atrophied left side of my upper body is almost fully back to normal through weightlifting, and I’ve almost reached the strength level I had before my injury occurred five years ago. A couple of points: there will be discomfort, and some pain to wade through along the way. This is normal. When you’re just weightlifting in an uninjured condition, soreness, discomfort, and pain is normal too, so it’s definitely going to be present in a recovery. Intelligent consistency: you do have to be resilient, but also leave allowances, as setbacks are common. In my instance, it took me a month to do one full pull-up. If you’ve been immobilized, your body has to relearn muscular activation patterns almost from scratch again, so it’s akin to learning to walk. On some days, my body just wouldn’t cooperate at all with me wanting to do a pull-up, so I’d take a break for two days, and then I could then do five. You’ll encounter this kind of muscular weirdness along the way. Also, when you’re using your injured parts again, everything will feel weird. This is normal. It’s hard to describe the sensation, but you’ll have no problems understanding what I’m talking about once you begin. Apart from all that, I wish you the best of luck. I just wish that I had found these videos earlier, as I just assumed that my shoulder was permanently screwed. I knew that shoulder surgery should be avoided at all costs, as it’s only useful in very, very rare cases. That’s why I lived with the injury for sad long as I did, as I didn’t want to submit myself to the surgery, and even if I was forced to undertake that course, I’m self employed, and wouldn’t be able to take that much time away from work without catastrophic consequences. Get to work with some dumbbells!

@@mangore623This is an amazing story! I’m so happy for your results! I just came across this video today after watching several a week ago (which definitely helped me improve ROM), but I get a feeling this video will set me miles ahead of the game. After 6 long months of pain I finally went to an orthopedic to be assessed and was told I have components of frozen shoulder and impingement. Not sure how it happened either but I have a feeling it was a combination of sleeping bad and overdoing it with weights. Thank you for such a thorough response and explanation and tips! I will follow to the letter. I’ve never done a pull up before but that is now a goal! I am a woman who loves motorcycles, firearms/tactical training, and raising a glass of wine now and then! 😅 I knew it was time to get help when I was no longer able to place my hand on my hip while I’m yelling at my husband (that’s how he knows I’m serious - hand in hip and toes tapping 😂).

[@KRM862]

As always - excellent! Your routine has brought my shoulder back to painless movement!!

[@samwilson6267]

These are great exercise ideas! But I gotta say, true frozen shoulder just doesn't free up this quickly in 4 weeks . Without knowing the full clinical picture and just basing my thoughts off of what's seen and said in this video, this guy probably didn't have a frozen shoulder, looks more like a garden variety tendinopathy. True frozen shoulder is a physical contracture of the shoulder capsule. Shoulder abduction, external rotation, and functional internal rotation as shown in the video takes a long while to come along for that reason. Any neurological muscle guarding can certainly "release" quickly, but in a frozen shoulder that only accounts for 10-20% of the loss in range of motion. Having said that, I'm still gonna give some of these a try with the right patient who may benefit!

[@richardmaclean408]

Well said but I would also suggest the patient may have been in late stage recovery from frozen shoulder and impaired more by the compensatory patterns and not capsules restrictions. I think these exercises may be useful for cases where the GH capsule is moving reasonably well but patients range stops improving.

[@sstanforddpt]

Right... adhesive capsulitis is misdiagnosed all the time. Someone who had true adhesive capsulitis would not see the same results from this set of exercises alone. It would not free up the adhesions.

[@Gazzaroo]

I hate these clickbait titles that mislead. Will have a watch but won’t be subscribing as a result

[@mangore623]

@Gazzaroo Well, your loss mate. I’ve been lumbered with this condition for over four years, living with pain and limited ROM. Having nothing to lose, I started to do these exercises two weeks ago. Guess what? 98% of my pain is gone, and my range of motion is increasing. I injured myself by lifting heavy in the gym, using the shittiest technique imaginable, and didn’t take breaks from weight lifting. After four years, you kind of give up on the idea of being functional again completely, so having zero pain after all that time is miraculous. Try these exercises for a month and I guarantee that you’ll change your opinion.

[@sarac.3259]

Besides that he taught me things about my shoulders I never learned in the past. I was a competitive bodybuilder and could never develop my rear Delts. I didn’t understand these ideas he is teaching in this video back then. For the first time after working with him, I could actually FIND and work them.

I look forward to reaching that stage, so that I can use these exercises but until that point, it’s best to hold off.

I fixed my neck and shoulder problems with just a length of inner tube from the front tire of a 150cc mortorbike. You might like to use a bicycle inner tube. I do four exercises which can be done sitting. - Sit on a stool or the edge of a chair and grasp the length of inner tube with both hands pronated (i.e., hands palm-downt) and a few inches apart. - Set your shoulders back and down (so your scapulae are flat) and keep your chin tucked (pulled back). This is very important. - Try to pull the tube apart while keepinng the shoulders back and down and the chin retracted. - Pull apart at throat level (squeeze your shoulderblades together) - Pull apart at chest level. (squeeze your shoulderblades together) - Pull part out to the side of the shoulder (actually not directly to the side but a few degrees in front of the shoulder) - Pull apart downward towards the thighs. - Start by doing holds of a minimum of 10 secs. Later build to longer holds if you like, especially the chest and throat pulls. I nowadays do the chest pull hold for 90 secs. You won't get much stretch from the tube, especially at first. When you get stronger, you will get more stretch and also as the tube warms up with use it stretches a little more. But very little stretch is needed. Just enough to stimulate your Golgi tendon organs. These exercises are very effective bcs they are quasi-isometric holds (meaning that there is little muscle lengthening and muscle fiber tearing but there is still a lot of muscle fibre recruitment bcs the slight lengthening means more stimulation of the CNS via the Golgi tendons) . - **Your effort counts most of all. Put in maximum effort once you get max contraction.** Also with experience you can hold for longer time. Time under tension is important for hypertrophy. - Do it just once a day for a few reps or even as many times a day as you like and every day too. While isometrics do not cause injury - because there is no muscle fiber movement - these inner tube exercises are *quasi*-isometric and do involve a small amount of muscle fiber movement, so while it is is hard to overdo them, it not impossible. So have a rest day occasionally when you feel like it. It is up to you, but it becomes a little addictive bcs visible results come so fast, so watch out. I do them almost every day. - This works hands, wrists, forearms, upper arms, shoulders, traps, neck, upper back, rhomboids and lats. You will be filling out your T shirts differently very fast. You will develop a beautiful, easy, confident posture, which too few men nowadays have. - This exercise is very mental. If you do these holds as hard as you can, you will see results very, very fast. - Warning. Keep those shoulders back and down and your chin back! Remember that. You can sit or stand, it doesn't matter. Just keep those shoulders back and down and the chin back. Very good exercise for those who spend a lot of time in poor posture at the computer or phone.

I've been trying to get the right diagnosis for my shoulder pain and this makes so much sense for my situation, especially when I look at your muscle diagram and recall how my pain began. Can you tell me if when you refer to "Frozen Shoulder" you are referring to "Adhesive Capsulitis"? I ask because my understanding, from a PT, is that "true" Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) can not be resolved with muscle development (or PT in general) because it's an inflammatory condition that needs to wade it's course.

I went camping and slept on my right shoulder all night. Now my shoulder has been messed up for two months. In my efforts to get better I feel like I'm stretching something that I shouldn't be. My Dr says it's burcitis, but barely examined me.

[@tungphung8018]

from all those excercises that i did for my rear delt i just got a huge neck and non existent rear delts😂 thank you for advice and the comparisons

[@TheJcman72]

Great video. Personally I have kind of the same pain, while with my left hand I can touch T3, with the right one I can't go higher than T5 but with a small pain on my shoulder lateral deltoid, so not sure it is the same problem.

[@mrfuzztone]

Any exercises without needing to lie on an incline platform? Ie exercises to do at home with small weights. Also, what does it mean if your should clicks but you have good range of motion?

[@RcKDrUmm3R]

Yea I wish we would get options without the bench

[@stewartcant2242]

How many times a week do you recommend doing these? How many sets and reps also? Thanks

[@thats_mr_b_]

Looks like a good video but as far as the 45° movement for the rear dealt or the lateral lat or teres minor pull down, it doesn’t really explain why this would be better over the typical ITY rows from outpatient

Can we get more of these dumbbell and bench shoulder workouts?

[@ADAPTATION7]

Wish there where more PT like him. It's been a slow grind for the last four years. I'm regaining control little by little in my right shoulder. I have developped osteoarthritis in my right humeral head due to lifting heavy weights overhead while having an imbalance (depressed right shoulder and torso rotated to the right). My right trap fires up when my shoulder abducts just like your client. When I lay pronated on a bench with thumbs down and shoulder abducted, I must really fight this tendancy to compensate with my right trap. Not easy, but slow progress is better than no progress.

[@myla6135]

"Lucky" me. Underdeveloped every single muscle. So I can actually get the rear deltoid to fire up as well as the teres major. But my shoulder impingement is caused by trauma. Fell over, broke shoulder etc etc. Impingement is just one of my problems but as its so godawful its the one I'm starting on. Many thanks. very informative. Totally agree about all that stretching being a bit unnecessary.

[@birgip.m.1236]

So sorry. Sounds painful. How's it going? Any updates??

[@myla6135]

@@birgip.m.1236 Thanks for asking! That's nice of you. My mobility is much better but still in a lot of pain as when I fell I not only broke shoulder (dislocation with small labrum tear) but also hurt my elbow and tore a ligament at my wrist. Basically a mess. I seem to have trapped nerves which I'm hoping the hand therapist I'm seeing next week will shed some light on.

[@CUBEHUNT999]

Please provide any variation that could be done Without any bench

[@Ama40401]

How many times a week do you suggest people do this? Two or three? Also, can impinged shoulder create bilateral arm pain? It feels like it’s running down my tricep and it’s very sharp pain when it flares up.

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

Usually 3x per week is a good frequency for rehab exercises. You can even do them almost every day if your shoulders feel well. Daily training with less intensity and a focus on "feeling the muscle" optimizes neurological adaptations while 3x per week with more intensity builds more muscle. The neurological part is a neccessary basis for later muscular development, so maybe start with that.

[@design321]

I have his app. He says do the exercises 2x's a week (but the app has lower body workout too). So upper body one day, lower body next day, then a complete day of rest with no exercise. Rinse and repeat.

[@victoryinthescriptures4440]

amazing content

[@jonathancousins5251]

I did my left shoulder in about 7 years ago doing heavy barbell bench. Pain has always been playing up since then. I did dumbbell bench today, was in agony about half hour ago, stumbled upon this, I have literally done 3 sets of exercise 1 with virtually no weight and the pain has gone!! You, my friend are worth your weight in gold. Thank you!!👍👍

[@neelampanjwani88]

Wonderful tips, thanks

[@iveterocha6271]

Excellent!!! Excellent!!! EXCELLENT!

[@Swenser]

I find this counter productive. When you see bodybuilders getting bigger it's usually at a cost of less flexibility. I recommend intense fasting and stretching only for a cycle.

[@dutchrjen]

You are not a "bodybuilder" if you touch weights a few times. Bodybuilders go HEAVY for long periods and usually get body weights into the "overweight" or "obese" category while maintaining sub 10% body fat. Yes, if you do very heavy weightlifting for a protracted period you can get so big you can't move as far because of the extra bulk. If you do heavy weightlifting without stretching you can get too stiff to move well even sooner. HOWEVER, most people do not lift weights enough for any of this. Shoulder muscle imbalance can put the should out of position which limits the range of motion. This imbalance is counteracted by strengthening the weak muscles. The shoulder joint is the most complex in the human body and there are a bunch of smaller muscles that have to pull the humerus bone downwards to allow the arm to raise without hitting the Acromion. The humerus slides around under the scapula with a bunch of small muscles controlling where it goes with larger muscles controlling the big movements of the arm. Even the scapula moves. If the little stabilizing muscles are too weak to fire properly or the brain never learned how to fire them properly or forgets how (the brain compensates with other muscles) then you CANNOT have full range of motion regardless of how much you stretch. There will be bone literally in the way of a full range of motion. The little muscles have to pull the shoulder into the proper position THEN the other muscles have to fire. Humans evolved ridiculously complex shoulders to allow us to have lots of different motions and to throw things well when necessary. Muscles and ligaments can be pinned down or even torn underneath the Acromion. This is where the "shoulder impingement" comes from. The little muscles underneath the shoulder aren't strong enough (or the brain doesn't know how to) to pull the humorous down to allow clearance when raising the arm (or a person could have a bone abnormality making this room impossible from injury or abnormal development). ANYONE can get this problem from an average Joe to a pro bodybuilder.

do you have a video for tennis elbow?

[@rdrlnet]

I have a complete tear of the left supraspinatous tendon - will these exercise help avoid surgery and reduce pain?

[@GreatDataVideos]

Years ago, after having shoulder surgery and before fully recovering, I was turning off an outside water faucet and felt like I was electrocuted. Extreme pain shot up through my arm and shoulder and my shoulder froze up. The physical therapist said, "I have to do something wicked, mean and nasty." He wasn't kidding. It was just short of torture to free up my shoulder. I saw stars and was pale as a ghost. Terrible experience!

Great.. nothing i can do home without equipments 😫

Can use couch to lean on. Or find a plank, or ironing board and lean against a couch. Block it with a rubber resistance band to keep it from sliding. There are ways to McGiver/ DIY a leaning "bench"

[@sixtee6gaming845]

I've had three frozen shoulders (one on the right and two on the left). No exercise or physio etc helped but made it much worse. The only treatment I had was three release operations.

[@nuroenglish9904]

Can I do these exercises with neck disc herniations touching nerves, AC joint degeneration, shoulder impingement, and rotator cuff injury?

[@birgip.m.1236]

Oooh I have all these too plus herniated & compressed & slipped discs all along my spine (due to being hit & thrown around by a car as a pedestrian) that pinch nerves & affect circulation & activation of muscles. Can't seem to ever get to a fully functional level of ease. Just as I recover and regain a decent range of motion, and start to work on strengthening, something flares up & I'm back to square one again. 🙆 I figure I must be doing something wrong. Using (over-using) some muscles while others remain inactive. Can't afford private sessions. Regular PRs just care to get my ROM but no real stability to build upon. And as soon as I feel better I go back to bring active til the next flare-up. It's a vicious cycle of frustration.

[@romanz1692]

Amazing !! thanks for the video!

suggestion how to inhibit lats while doing this?? Thank you!!

it'd be really helpful if you could show some exercises without the gym equipment - it's easy to get a bar bell but most people don't have a chair at 1:46 at home...

[@ipucu4410]

Do you have alternative versions of these exercises for someone with carpal tunnel, looks all good but wrist might be under lots of pressure with these

[@birgip.m.1236]

Maybe can try using light resistance bands? Or can try just getting the movements correct at 1st, without added weight / resistance.

[@bjb-s8k]

Do you have to use an inclined bench? Can a regular bench do? Thx!

Good video, not great,only because theres too much talking, explanation and demonstration. Yes, it needs to be explained and demonstrated but its too much. We needed to see more of the exercise. Once thats shown, is an excellent video. Its helping me a lot

[@notimpressed76]

I had a supraspinatus "repair" about 7 years ago; it's had better moments doing various PT but never gotten back to 100%.... do you have a version of these exercises that can be done without any equipment? Like a calisthenics style?

Where can I find the mentioned website rehab app?

On the Teres Pulldown, are you moving the arm up and down or just holding the position? I get where the arm/elbow has to end up. If it's a hold, how many seconds are optimal? If not, how many reps? Thank you. Loving your insights!

[@railroadcrossfit8304]

@@thrivefnl Thank you for sharing your experience! Were you remote or in person? How did your shoulders improve? Would love to hear more and how these exercises helped!

[@thrivefnl]

@@railroadcrossfit8304 I did remote sessions. Zach is very experienced with that format. My shoulders both set forward a bit, similar to what he shows in the video. Years of bench and heavy chest work. By doing the exercises and learning proper technique the head of the arm bone could sit at a happier alignment, more posteriorly. Previously I would get a bit of impingement when I went to end range as well as often end up with elbow issue. That has shifted for the better now Zach is VERY particular about the form and even via zoom he can teach the specifics of what he wants On the aesthetic side, my shoulder looks better now I’m developing the back end, an area so many are deficient in. It’s exciting to be able to make progress after all these years in that way I highly recommend the sessions In fact, this video inspires me to buy a few sessions to get a tune up I hope that helps 😁💪

Jersey boys! Of course this dude knows what he us talking about. You come from where he does, you either know your stuff or you get humiliated. No hand outs here baby!

[@joebro77]

Makes sense, except that you seem to use the term Frozen Shoulder loosely. A true one (Capsulitis) won‘t be fixed with simple exercises early on and for sure not in 4 weeks. In the later stages once the stiffness and inflammation has reduced this all probably makes perfect sense. Frozen Shoulder is often misdiagnosed as Impingement and therefore treated the same erroneously so. I am not a doctor but suffered from it and did a bunch of research. Great video and exercises nonetheless even if you have „nothing“

[@iCanHazCamera]

How many days a week do you advise doing these?
