I haven't been doing horizontal pressing for 3 months because my right shoulder hurts in that exact spot! I've tried focusing on vertical presses, but the pain remained the same. I just tried those exercises, and wow, I felt instant relief! I was really struggling to keep my right hand behind my back during that exercise. I will keep doing those exercises and progressively overload. Thank you so much for your knowledge and kindness!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

[@hinkleaj1]

This videi is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time! Just to clarify, these are exercises that a person should do if they have a subscapularis injury, in order to strengthen the muscle so it can recover properly? Or are these exercises simply suggestions for a healthy shoulder to prevent injury in the future? I ask because several of these exercises cause me pain in my current condition (impingement). I will happily exercise through the pain if that's the road to recovery, but I want to avoid anything that might cause further injury. Are these exercises for injured people?

Tore my right rotator cuff playing tennis, confirmed my an MRI, a little over two years ago. Used your exercises to rehab it and now it is back to normal with full range of motion and no pain. Took a fall two weeks ago with my left arm out and know now that I damaged the subscapularis. Do you think it can also be rehabbed or is the subscapularis harder to recover than the supraspinatus tears?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Same shit different pile ;-) Can definitely be done. Process is the same.

[@mikkeljensen-z4v]

hi Team and again thanks for all your amazing work. In the video 14:35 and in regards to the 90 shoulder Circle Coach talks about ”maintaining good position of the shoulder joint”. Does that mean you should not extend the shoulder but keep it central and in line from the clavicle ? Thanks Best Mikkel

Had an MRI and was diagnosed with subscapularis tendinosis, supraspinatus tendinosis, and bursitis of the shoulder. I had an injection of corticosteroid last week. I start physical therapy this week. I'm curious what the exercises will be. This will be my second time with PT. My goal is to be able to do heavy pressing movements again without pain.

Thank you coach for the video, these are my problems: Mild tendinosis changes of the rotator cuff tendons, particularly for the subscapularis with a small tear at the bursal fibers of the myotendinous junction of the supraspinatus. Doubt on the presence of a small tear at the glenoid labrum at 2 o'clock. Will these exercises help me to fix the pain?

Thanks for trying it out. Stop doing any exercise that causes pain unless you can modify it in order to do it pain-free no matter how small the range of motion is :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

hi - great video. I smashed ALL my rotator cuff muscles in motorbike accident and fractured arm. 2 months later I still only have 80% motion in my arm - these are really good for me. How much longer is this going to take until full motion - it's soooo slow....and I massage > stretch > strengthen most days.

Hey! We are so glad that you reached out to us and are here to help you to recover from that accident.

Pectoralis is very strong ,if we just focus on shoulder external rotators and extensors concentrically and internals eccentrically,will it work in rotator cuff injuries ?

[@myla6135]

Ok 12 weeks after a humeral head fracture and pestering doctors in the useless UK medical services, I finally find out I have tears in my supraspinatus tendon (which I had guessed) AND my subscapularis tendon. I had thought it was the long head of the biceps but as they are so close that subscap tendon will be irritating the biceps one. Aaargh. I can only manage the first exercise! Help! Is this because of the supraspinatus tendon? Is there anything else other than that first exercise I can do or shall I just stick with that for now? Thank you. I feel like death in some ways but so glad I know why I can't do some fairly standard things after 3 months.

I dropped a 90 pound dumbbell on front of the shoulder a month ago , the bear bug test is the only thing that positive and i have full range movement but i have pain when lifting weights and i have avoided that for a month , the second exercise hurts alot and i think the pain is focused on the top of the bicep tendon or around that area . If the exercises hurt should i do them ?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Hey! Thanks for trying out the exericses. Stop doing any that causes pain or that you cannot modify in order to do it pain-free. Modificaitons include moving slower and smaller.

@@PrecisionMovementCoach can I start working out as it's been over month when I test it the bear hug test is the only thing positive and the pain I feel is mostly around the bicep tendon a little lower than the shoulder joint . , can I start liftting weights and start by doing exercises with 5 pound dumbbells even if the hurt ? .
