I haven't had the side pain for ages but after doing a heap of these exercises 2 leaning back when rotating shoulders out I've woken up this morning with bad pains on both sides..

I’m 3 years late but I hope you guys see this. I have been to orthopedist, chiropractor, gotten massages, done physical therapy and nothing has worked for years. Once I get these 2 simples stretches down and was doing them correctly my pain has literally completely vanished. It felt like a sack of pain in my shoulder blade that would never go away. Once I learned to use these muscles together in these stretches all my pain went away. Absolutely insane and i’m so thankful

Does anyone know why I would wake up in pain down my sides after doing mostly the sitting back on heels / arms exercises.. ( no. 2 .) . . Also after I did them I had pain in the front under the color bone area.. Why would it cause pain down both sides of my back by the time I woke up in the morning... I know it's not necessarily the exercise.. but whatever my injury is ; is not good for me to do this when I thought it was.. Can someone please guide me.. I used to wake up with pain down my sides and it went away for a while.. after doing this it's come back.. I really need help from the man. Because he mite know where to direct me from here...at least an idea

[@akshatmehra3951]

Coming back here to say… thank you so much man. These exercises are gold, and as I did 10 reps of 2nd exercise, my impingement pain was 90% gone already. I had a minor impingement but local physios didn’t tell me the lower traps correction and so I was worried. I learnt engaging my lower traps and serratus, and now I’m conscious of that throughout my workout too. Fast forward today, I have been progressing smoothly and hitting new weights on my compound lifts. These exercises are a gem and I can’t emphasise it enough. For the gym goers, the thing is that we focus on the big flashy muscles and that leads to imbalance. Imbalances between the big muscles and the smaller stabiliser muscles. I’d say focus more on body weight too like pushups and pullups/inverted rows, these are safer for the average joe. That’s my personal opinion tho. Cheers !

[@billbauer9795]

It has been two months. How are your shoulders now?

[@yorkiepit]

I was in the same boat. Before I found this video, I found a book about hanging from a pull up bar and that also worked wonders, as it creates space in the shoulder. That book is "Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention, Revised & Expanded" by John M. Kirsch M.D., who is an orthopedic surgeon. Between the exercises in this Body Fix Exercises video and the hanging, my shoulder pain has almost entirely disappeared, though the tear damage itself will probably never heal. The position of bar hanging moves the damaged muscles safely behind the shoulder joint. You can do full or partial bodyweight, do 10 minutes of 15 to 30 seconds of hanging with a break in between. I use a workout timer app and use it to efficiently time this. Bar hanging pulls the bones and creates space. It will reverse the incorrect bone shape and positioning that has occurred, over time, the bones will regain the shape that they had when we were much younger. As soon as you're done bar hanging, that is the time to perform the exercises in this video and any other shoulder workout you wish to perform, because even when you're just starting with the hanging, it will create some temporary relief and you can do these exercises with less pressure on the injured muscles. This video is great, the bar hanging is great, the exercises my physical therapist gave me weren't so great, it was through KZbin that I found out about bar hanging therapy and also the Body Fix Exercises routine.

[@tranceAction1979]

Wow!! This exercise is amazing! Almost a year after the initial rotato cuff injury, my shoulder started to have far more problems like limiting the range of motion, giving nagging pain during a sleep, causing sharp pain with casual arm movements. I didn't do much to rehabilitate the shoulder during the healing because it always hurt as i moved it. Now i started swimming and it's been helping with the range of motion but not with the impingement. So I tried this exercise and even the first rep gives real tight senstiion inower trapezius. In 3 reps it's burning. After 10 reps it is on Fire!! Only on the side of the shoulder with impingement. Never even felt this part of muscle in the back before. I'm going to continue this with swimming to fix my shoulder!

Knowledge is truly power. Thank you so much for sharing what you know. 😊.

[@BodyFixExercises]

I had a similar experience when I first did these exercises. I believe it's because the Lower Traps and Serratus Anterior can become underactive and unused. It's as if the brain forgets it should be using these muscles but then these exercises force you to use these muscles. The brain then goes "Oh yeah, I forgot about those muscles" and starts using them again. (Similar to "sleepy glutes") I had a 50% improvement within 5 days. The other 50% took 2-3 months because the muscles had to be strengthened and that takes time. So keep going!

Thanks Rebecca. Yeah, it's essentially the same exercise, but it can be used as prevention and a fix so I thought I'd put it in there again as plenty will not have seen the other video.

Aww! Thanks for having the kitty cat 🐈 in your video. They always think ‘floor time’ is their time, lol

[@BodyFixExercises]

He loves to get into the action!

[@cinmac3]

The cat understand it needs to pandiculate often to keep his body fixed.

[@elenaperez6327]

This is my most favourite body fix exercises video so far! Thank you. Cat...😹

[@BodyFixExercises]

Thanks Elena. I was a bit concerned I'd put in too much details so thanks for the feedback. These are my favourite exercises actually. Life changing!

[@SambalBadjak64]

Thank you, I found a good amount of relief following 10 minutes of these 2 exercises.

[@BodyFixExercises]

Keep going then. 👍Strengthening these muscles completely takes weeks and months

[@stevecampbell8616]

Feels absolutely superb with these simple exercises..ive been really struggling with a tear in my cuff but these little gems work a treat ..thank u 🙂

[@BodyFixExercises]

You're so welcome!

[@margaretmitchell4926]

So I also have a supraspinetus tear also and wondering if these stretches would damage it more . Was it ok with ur tear and didn’t cause anymore damage to ur tear ?

[@alexavaa]

I am more than grateful for these exercises. 🙏My back has been hurting for ages. Now I can hardly believe that there are still exercises that help me. I'm very excited to see how far I can push back the pain. 💜💟💜

[@BodyFixExercises]

Good on you! 🙌

[@BodyFixExercises]

I should add... only do these exercises in the PAIN FREE range of motion. If it hurts your shoulder when your shoulder is in the overhead position in either of these exercises, don't go that far. It should improve with time but always keep in the pain-free movement range.

[@jamessmythe1891]

Great video, Just ordered Massage Gun after watching your other video. I have shoulder impingement, I can’t raise my left arm above shoulder height but when I use broom stick as support, I can achieve nearly full arm stretch over my head, but when I remove the broom stick support I’m unable to hold the vertical position, my arm collapses to shoulder height with pain. I’m able to do 2nd and 3rd exercises you suggest but not the first one. Can you suggest any other exercises I can do to strengthen the shoulder muscles involved in overhead arm raise ? Thanks.

[@davidkehn6960]

Looking forward to trying these exercises. Have had shoulder issues for over 40 years. Would have had surgery but the honest dr. Couldn’t guarantee my range of motion wouldn’t diminish

[@BodyFixExercises]

I hope they help David

[@henrikmagnusson6892]

Tack!

[@BodyFixExercises]

Hey! Thanks very much!!

[@tw1258]

Omg! Was doing exercises for almost a MONTH with MINIMAL to NO relief! After doing exactly what he said...NO MORE PAIN AND SUFFERING!!!! Mobility moderately improved and at almost 100% !! In just 72 hours!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@BodyFixExercises]

Awesome!

[@annap9734]

Thank you for this, clearly explained and so grateful to have found your channel! Subscribed! I have shoulder/neck pain for years and not one physio show me this exercise which seems to help! I have tight painful 1st/2nd rib and also tight scalene muscles which find it hard to stretch. Would you mind doing a video on how to stretch these areas please? I feel so hopeless and just want to give up…years of physio doesn’t seem to help. I wish you are in UK so I can get treated. It’s so hard for me to find someone who is experienced like you. I’m just running out of options and just want to feel better and my shoulder pain is really affecting my life and mental health. Sorry for the long message, I hope you will do a video on that when you have the time and have a good day.

[@BodyFixExercises]

Hey Anna. Thanks for the lovely message. Try these exercises. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqvGf6mMo7CdeaM They are for that higher area and exercise 2 will stretch your scalenes too. Also try massaging the muscles right UNDER your collar bone. Rub under your collar bone, or use a tennis ball to press in tender spots in that area. The pec major attaches in that spot and can affect the scalenes and ribs. I'll be doing a video on that area (related to AC joint pain) in a few weeks time. Hope that helps.

[@MonaPlayPiano]

I found these sets of exercises the MOST effective rotating cuff exercises on KZbin ( have gone through them all already)! Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Ohh BTW, the cat is sooo adorable and funny ❤️❤️❤😅

I'm subscribing for the cat. The exercises look promising too, but the cats the real hero here.

[@dottiepaul428]

I saw a guy demonstrating a similar version of these two exercises in a video years ago. They were the only exercises to completely fix my popping shoulders and right side shoulder impingement issues. About a month ago, the impingement came back with a vengeance. I’ve been looking for that particular video almost daily since. I was exceptionally pleased and didn’t need any convincing that the two exercises demonstrated in your video are the real “key” to fixing shoulder pain. You, my friend, deserve both a thumbs up and a subscription for your help. Thanks!

[@BodyFixExercises]

I'm glad to help! Make sure you check out the updated video on shoulder problems too!

[@HowdyDo2]

MARVELOUS video!! It makes us reach a bit intellectually as well as physically to understand the muscles and such. Great job!

[@lottanygren-bonnier9511]

Thank you Stefan! So clearely explained and just what my shoulder needed😃🙌🏻

[@BodyFixExercises]

Thanks, Lotta! It's amazing how many people have this problem.

[@BUDDYCB4]

The cat is the true star of this video

[@BodyFixExercises]

And he knows it. 😜😻

[@Charlie_Waffles]

I‘m only here for the cat 🤣🤣🤣❤

[@BodyFixExercises]

Understandable!! 😆😻🥰🐈

[@aminesaadoune2142]

Thank you very much! After suffering from shoulder pain for years, I did this excersise for a week, no more pain!!!

[@BodyFixExercises]

Awesome!! Well done👍

[@supersketchymaryjane]

After doing this once my traps felt so much better than they had in as long as I can remember. Thank you! Any suggestions for tennis elbow pain?

[@SabirIqbal-e2r]

Who else got distracted by the cat? I was more focused on the cat and kept wondering where the cat was when it disappeared 😂

[@BodyFixExercises]

🤣🤣🤣 the cat thinks he's more important too

[@MidnightHabit]

I can't do this because I don't have a cat. Dang it.

[@BodyFixExercises]

🤷🏼‍♂️😬😆😻

[@barbarahutcherson2802]

Well you're in luck I got two cats I had two liters of kittens so come get your cats

[@barbarahutcherson2802]

[@TonyHinton-xw8lu]

You can use a small dog

[@mrnewson]

It's great to see a presenter who is not an annoying shouting American. Thank you for this.

[@BodyFixExercises]

😅

[@PeterJG1972]

THIS is the exercise that worked for me after months trying several others outlined on youtube. Thanks

[@BodyFixExercises]

Great to hear!

[@csj2500]

How r u now, how is ur pain now

[@candrawdrawingtutorials3248]

I just started this tonight and the result was instant improvement on the whole exercise. Brilliant.

[@BodyFixExercises]

Brilliant! 🙌👍

[@futurenoir6155]

Why no one is taking about the 🐈?😅😅😅

[@BodyFixExercises]

Actually if you look at recent comments you'll see more comments about Sebas, my cat. He's a ⭐

[@ciskokidd5980]

Should I get a cat?

[@BodyFixExercises]

Yep. A siamese cat from a shelter👍

[@kristenhurst683]

Yes! Some of these exercises will occur naturally when you clean hairballs off the carpet.

[@katiefinnegan4649]

Maybe. But I recommend a dog from a shelter. I have two cats too, but dog is best, not as sharp and spikey

[@robertknight4539]

Just been diagnosed with Calcific tendonitis in my left shoulder. Really hurts and my movement is minimal. I’ve subscribed to come back to this after treatment to help get my movement back. My cat is stoodby 👍

[@BodyFixExercises]

😻🙌

[@kathychu3144]

I’ve been having shoulder pain for 4 days after zip lining and could not raise my right arm above my head without severe pain. These exercises helped me be able to comfortably raise my arm again. I’m so grateful I found this video!!

[@BodyFixExercises]

👍

[@smartartscreative]

After years of trying online and offline therapists this solved my shoulder problem in the first session. So simple. Genius. Thank you!

[@BodyFixExercises]

Awesome to hear!! (It actually had a similar effect on my shoulders many years ago) You're very welcome!

[@ebinlazar9851]

I have tried lot of lower traps activation exercises, but this is the first time I actually felt the muscle contracting. Never even thought doing it while lying on my back. Thank you

[@BodyFixExercises]

👍👍👍

[@ColinBernard-w7r]

This remedied 2 years of pain in less than 5 minutes. Still got healing to do but this is an unexpected, major and instant improvement. I’m so impressed. Im nearly in disbelief.

[@BodyFixExercises]

5 minutes! Wow. That's amazing. It did the same for me, but over about 5 days, after several years of issues. Keep going though! You've activated those muscle, now they need strengthening. You might want to watch this updated video with slightly simpler exercises and some more explanations... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3uxZ5eKd6asf7c And tomorrow I'm releasing a video about how to improve rotator cuff exercises so they are much more effective, so check that out too. Good luck with it!

[@ColinBernard-w7r]

Thanks for the other link I’ll be following up.

[@melmoth2219]

Thank you for this. I was stuck doing exercises that didn't seem to make a difference and will certainly try yours. I appreciate your clear explanation and the cat's contribution was also superb.

[@BodyFixExercises]

You're so welcome!😻😻😻

[@321ssteeeeeve]

Been trying to fix shoulder problems through strengthening and flexibility for over a decade. Though the two are indeed paramount in shoulder health, they are deemed useless if motor control and biomechanics are corrupted. I sincerely thank you for sharing these two exercises, it is obvious my scapular system needs to reset,

[@paulinegeraci6818]

Wow! Did these 2 yesterday and then this morning with some rolling and I have not felt any pain today! Been dealing with this for over a month now. Thank you!!

[@BodyFixExercises]

Cheers Dennis! 🙏🙌

[@xe2594]

Something I have done as a control for the core when items like exercise 1 (and other that are similar) is to get a kettlebell and excercise band. I tie the band to the kettlebell and place it underneath my back, about in line with the belly button and have it tense enough whereby if I raise my abdominals/core and arch throughout the movement- the band slides out. By doing this I’ve now got a control to ensure I keep my core activated and in place.

[@newbatling4194]

Thankyou for these I will try, I've had shoulder pain for years since falling onto my shoulder from my bike whilst stationary and clipped in, surgery has been suggested with no promise it will fix this issue, I will try these and come back.

[@BodyFixExercises]

👍 good luck with it

[@albertofiore1892]

This Is the only video I found that talks about activating both muscles to create space in the joint. I did this (First activating the serratus and then the lower trapezius) and no more scapula pain in doing push ups and pull ups. I think that using the serratus is extremely important when doing pull ups because when the body is in traction it's quite natural to just focus on lowering the scapulas without creating proper space before. Thank you so much. Greets Sir.
