Subscapularis Muscle - Most Misdiagnosed Cause to Neck/Midback Pain & Frozen Shoulder (Dr Mandell)

[@etherealdeal1792]

Stretches start 10:48. This May be the most helpful video for physical health on KZbin. I found this video after getting a massage this evening and feeling the most pain in my pec area. This video explains why I’ve felt the way I have. Just did the stretches and they’re amazing, already feeling better

[@JustDontMove111]

Thanks

How are you now?

Thanks , stay blessed.One love.

@@eTheRealDeal, are you still doing these stretches?

[@Omnipresent_Divergence]

Alot of doctors are lazy and just send you off to get a ct or mri and they tell you " you have arthritis " and tell you to take anti-inflammatory medz ...this man is really great as he gets to the root cause of the problem ( what most doctors are not doing) and this man actually cares so thank you very much from the Conscious Therapist 🕉♾️💞✨️💫☯️⚛️

[@rondapali8433]

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Have fibromayalgia an I pulled my subcapularis. In 17 years of therapy, you are the first person to recognize what is going on! I had figured out a lot of what you talked about on my own. You just confirmed another layer of focus for my healing. Praise God! Bless you, Dr. Mandel!

[@user-rd9xf9pq2p]

Brilliant, you have a special talent for teaching and explaining issues better than any of the other 'millions' of therapists I've watched before. You have helped me so much. Appreciate your help!!

[@teenplus1]

Give this man a nobel price!

[@Margi183]

Amen! God please Bless him! Thank You.

[@PaperToPetals]

Thank you doc, you answered all my questions. I'm sharing this with my MIL who suffers terribly with bad posture, spinal stenosis, neck pains that run down her arms. I try to work with her to do these exercises because I know these will help. Thanks for being here for us. You've helped me so much. You're appreciated. Be well, stay safe.

[@ultrasentience]

The info you displayed clarifies my ongoing painful, tingling, and numbness dilemma of the last 2 years. Even the odd pain on the side of my right ribcage. Thank you, sir!

[@halasousa8697]

[@robbsmith2543]

Dude I’ve had shoulder pain and the weirdest pain /tightness on my lower right rib area that I’ve been stretching for a year with no relief . This post caught my attention 😮

[@MS-hp4yo]

This video will save you £££££, time and a whole lot of stress. I cannot believe how accurate this video is. Unbelievable. Thank you so much I have been doing these stretches daily for 2 weeks. After 3 years the pain has gone. 🙏

[@davidhoang2076]

Dr Mandell is the best in the world! No medicine!!!

[@traceyreynolds1984]

I love your videos. I,ve had chronic shoulder and arm pain for nearly 2 years and after a visit to a good physio who mentioned scalene muscles, I came across your site and everything is making sense to all the pain that I have been experiencing for all this time so I am going to try all your exercises and see what improvements I find. Thank you for such informative videos.

[@mimilookamie8019]

Thank you! I love all your videos but this one in particular changed my life! The subscap muscle and the way Ive slept since I was a child was the key to all my back problems. For the first time I am pain free and it is thanks to you and your videos. God bless.

[@lassibanjo]

Dr. Mandell...you've helped me so much with the subscapularis issue. A huge thank you!!

[@macrofuzz]

You are the first doc who could diagnose this condition much less bring relief to my neck and shoulders. Bless you!

[@jillpeacock4540]

I see you. This is the best video yet. I've needed this all my life, I think. When you're tall, everything is made for shorter people. We end up slouching. Wish I knew this years ago. Thank you

[@budgoble4602]

Dr Mandell, My wife and I have had some shoulder problems and found a video that help us both. Later it seemed we both had more problems, until I found yours. Just wanted to tell you how thankful we. Sincerely, Bud and Linda

[@vicwillo]

Dr. Mandell, I'm a subscriber and have studied many of your videos to successfully overcome various aches and pains. Thanks to you I haven't had a migraine since December, not even a headache and this has been an issue for me since childhood... several migraines per month. Not anymore. My neck is much stronger now. It's that rhomboid, forward head posture thing. Now I keep an 18" stretch band in front of my laptop and regularly pick it up to do the outward stretches along with all the correct positioning. I'm now overcoming a shoulder problem and find today's video pointing out those scaps... the places I'm bound up. Door stretching hurts but I'm able to do alot more than I could a few months ago. Thanks for the wonderful helps. ~ Ooh, and fun hearing how many countries are logging in to hear you. Nice of you to acknowledge them and bring us all together. Greetings to the world from a peaceful place in the U.S. ~ namaste :)

[@kashikapaliwal5468]

Hi Vicky, it’s great to know that you overcame migraines and headaches! Being a fellow migraneur, I wanted to ask what all steps did you take which helped you with getting rid of migraines. I have suffered all my life and continue to have several episodes each month. It would be really helpful if you could share a few key things which helped you. God bless!

[@windiborn1136]

Doc, I recently woke up with a sore neck and 3 weeks later my head's forward, can't turn at all, bobble head because holding chin and head up is impossible. I started with chiropractor and massage therapist. Both are perplexed at how terrible my neck &shoulders muscles are tight, knotted and spasming continuously. They can't believe it's only been a month since this started. I've had a double mastectomy and lattimus dorsi breast reconstruction surgery (5 yrs) followed by 12 weeks of radiation, and both professionals are perplexed by how that may be contributimg to the rapid issues I'm suffering.

[@mollypaintscows]

You posted this video 6 yrs ago, I wish I would have seen it then. You have no idea how much money I’ve spent going to the chiropractor, dry needling, ER for chest and neck pain. Oh my gosh!!! I’m so glad I’m seeing this video now. Thank you! ❤

[@cruzr8833]

That's what you call a real doctor That cares about people really appreciate everything you do and God will bless you for that..

[@Acode7940]

Thank you. I tore subscapularis years ago. No doctor or chiro ever gave me exercises for the resulting problems. I have been working with your other stretches, too. These are excellent. I can feel the blood and energy returning to those areas I worked on. WoW! That is great!

[@bunnyyykins]

Hi! I really appreciate your video! I’ve been dealing with the this problem for over 10 years. Doctors and specialist have never been able to diagnose me. Shoulder is pretty severe to the point of popping with every movement. Neck is stiff as well. This explains everything wrong with me!! Thank you!

[@trishtraynor1237]

YES! I broke My left wrist and thought the right shoulder and arm pain was due to over using right arm. This video explains exactly what's wrong with me. I was in tears with the pain coming right down to my wrist, and I couldn't understand why. Thank you so much. 💖

[@elizabethdowler5572]

I do have bad posture, told by friends. This was amazing!!! Thank you so much!!

I think this video you have described all the symptoms which I am going through...hope it helps. God bless u

[@dawnsmothers5997]

I am an LMT and I often share your videos with my clients as homework. If I show them the stretches myself when they come in for massage treatment I know that they're never going to remember them or do them so if I text them these videos and tell them these are the stretches that they need to be doing they are more likely to do them and to remember them. The compliant ones I see such a difference when they come in for their follow-up massages. I watch all your videos about vitamins nutrients foods as well and have use them to help change my eating habits and my life and have lost 30 lb in about six weeks by changing the foods that I eat and the supplements that I use. Thank you for all the informative advice that has helped me and thank you for making my job much easier by helping my clients and making me look like a miracle worker LOL. I would love to see you do a video specifically for hairdressers. I work with many of these people and see so many of these problems with the position that they have their arms in all day long. Just a thought. Again thank you so much for the great informed information then I am able to pass along to my people and help with their problems

[@marywhiteatl]

Feeling so much better by watching and just dabbling with the stretches. I am very positive about helping myself get better and incorporating these stretches daily.

[@justineanonymous2986]

Brilliant as always...whenever I have a troubling patient I look for your videos.

[@Ordostank]

Stumbled upon this video when searching for posture improvement advice, made myself sit and watch through all the chat distraction, it paid off. Stretched subscapularis by putting my elbow on a horizontal bar, bringing my hand behind another bar above it, using it as a stopper, and started tipping my body forward thus stretching the muscle by rotating body while the arm is immobile. Today is the first time in a long time I woke up without pain in shoulder and neck. A sensation hard to believe in. Thank you doc, i'll be sure to start watching all your videos now.

[@amandawhitney6582]

Thank you Dr. I am in recovery and can’t take pain medicine. Your videos are keeping me pain free. Thanks

[@puspapuspa4770]

Had no real pain, more of uncomfortable ache/tightness feeling on the side of chest most days. So, immediately did the easiest one, and I just love how that hands clasps, shoulder stretch gave instant relieve! Amazing explanation on how these muscles work and the effects it has, thank you Dr Mandell!

[@arunprasath6724]

Thank you so much doc!!! I love sleeping on my side and do suffer from a desktop bound day job. You are saving me from weeks of acute pain! May god bless you!!!

[@davidantony2734]

After a trapped ulnar nerve, my doctor sent me for an MRI (without even physically examining me) - Before the MIR he even told me that the only way to solve the issue would be to remove two cervical discs. I'm 44 and the MRI naturally showed some degeneration. However, it wasn't until I saw a physio that it was explained to me that the problem was due to an over-rotated scapula (years of lifting weights with bad form/muscle imbalance). 15 months down the line and I'm still correcting my posture - much better though. In summary: don't take the word of cash grabbing doctors.

[@Warriorsoull]

When I did the arm behind the back and tried moving my hand away from my back it reproduced the shoulder area pain I've been having for quite some time. I thought it was associated more with my cervical problems and some of my pain has gotten better following my ACDF surgery for spinal cord compression, BUT now I know for sure that sitting on the computer/phone is what is causing it due to poor positioning and posture AND weak vs. tight muscles. I was about to go back to my doctor to see how to proceed, but now I feel confident waiting until my recheck with my orthopedic surgeon in March. I know my PCP will just send me to PT anyway and I needed more direct exercises to address this specific problem. Thank you so much for making these videos and allowing them to be viewed freely! Obviously, if I have any concerning symptoms I will alert my doctor.

[@tomtomstuff8058]

hi, doc! you are doing a great job with these explanations. i have been actively strainghtening my muscles one by one for an year now because of a high level of pain from shoulder pain, kneck pain and a biiiiig deviation in my posture from sitting on the chair. I couldn't lift my arm over 90 degrees at some point for a long time. I did a lot of your romboid exercises, helped a lot with strenthening. Posture exercises, helped a lot with pain. And now I found this video about the subscapularis. It explains most of the things that i've been feeling good with without knowing the sourse. hopefully this will mark the spot. I'll try to check back in with a comment to say if it worked and in what way. You are a huge help and making a big positive impact on our lives.

Just to say this ... You are a blessing...I experienced 1 1/2 years ago allot of physical skeleton ailments due to sitting at a laptop to complete 2 years of college in 8 months which intels bout 7 straight hours of sitting 6 days a week. The saying Lil ole lady from Pasadena... She walks hitched over with a cane but many don't know the pain she endures... That has been me. You have helped me to understand the problems from incorrect posture and resolved most of my problems. I'm not 100% yet but in the road to recovery. Working on upper body posture and studying the lower hip area. A long process from injuries due to computer to knee injury to sciatic to pinch nerve. Has not been easy for this 65 yr woman. You are my angel and you have given me hope and courage for my recovery program. Bless you 💜

[@danielstratton1670]

One of the top 5, IF NOT TOP/BEST videos on KZbin! Seriously, this video, combined with your Magnesium video would save the US BILLIONS of dollars in health care costs and ADD TRILLIONS to our nation's productivity. This video, and you Dr., could theoretically "save" humanity, deer don't have cancer, deer don't have doctors, bc deer, and ALL other animals use their bodies and eat the way nature intended. The problem... this video, could literally put millions of doctors, Rx drug companies, and many others without a job. Do doctors really not know that sitting at a computer is killing us, or do their medical schools think they'll be out of work if they spend more than an afternoon discussing preventative Medicine? Ie magnesium supplementation, stretching chest, strengthening rotator cuff, rhomboids, and anterior flexors, ALL OF WHICH CAN BE DONE FROM HOME WITH A $20 resistance band, a towel, and a doorway?

I've spent thousands of benefit money on massage. A new therapist filled in and hit my subscap. Never felt more sustained relief. No doubt in my mind my ongoing pain is caused by posture, tight pecs and subscap. I kept working my external rotators (Infra and supraspinatus). But I'm 90% convinced its the subscap (internal rotator). Looking forward to working on this. Thanks for the vid!!

[@amanuelgarza3692]

Thanks, Really helpful. I like the way you stress to emphasise the critical importance of the issue.

[@Elyga.]

I've spent 15 years sitting at the computer squeezing my shoulder blades all the time (as generally advertised to maintain good posture) but what that actually did is that it caused my subscapularis muscle to stay locked and contracted all the time. Also I had strong rhomboid muscles and lose chest muscles which suppose to give you the perfect posture(atleast i thought so), yet I had shoulder imbalance and pain in the chest/arm. So what did the miracle to me is stretching that subscapularis muscle. I am not a doctor, but through years of suffering and trial and error I have finally found the key to good health: Having strong muscles is pointless if they are not elongated/stretched/loose. So make sure to stretch every muscle you can think off and then strengthen it and you will be living pain free life. That's my share of insight , hope you all have a nice day :)

[@annasypnicka]

Thank you! You Have opened my eyes in many ways, I was suspecting this issue for a long time , having carpal tunnel issues in both hands but also suffering from tightness in peck and subscapularis and my rhomboid are in bad shape due to desk position work...
