The Stupidly Simple Shoulder Pain Fix (instant results)

[@miltonbates6425]

I prefer it when you demonstrate the exercises yourself because you can identify and point-out the potential mistakes more readily.

[@conorharris]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@nicholasr5988]

Hey Connor, all of your videos show a touch of Genius. The clarity of your explanations is simply out of this world. You ask if we prefer for you to demonstrate or if we would like You to explain while somebody else demonstrates. To be honest, I prefer when you both explain and demonstrate. It is probably the most effective and most direct. But to satisfy all, you could simply alternate between the two, perhaps demonstrating 70% on your own and 30% with someone else. In any case, even when I do not have any particular restriction, I both watch your videos with great pleasure and profit as well as try to integrate as many of the exercises as possible into my routine. Thank you for everything and best of luck/happiness in both your professional and personal life❤ Nicho

[@Mike98861]

I agree the demonstrations are extremely helpful; having someone else and doing it yourself are both helpful. Can't say one is necessarily better than another. Important thing is that you demonstrate what NOT to do, as some of my tightness/restrictions will tend to cause the errors in form

[@crappyMooD]

I like it when you show it yourself because of your muscles, it's easy to follow. Thank you for your content!

[@hornemeister4131]

I have been suffering with shoulder pain for 2 1/2 weeks now; I don’t know what. Most likely over doing it at the gym. OMG!!!! I’ve done this exercise several times over the last 2 days. My pain is gone and I have full range of motion back. Thank you so much!!!!

[@haralbi]

[@michaelolsen7000]

I like both methods of demonstration. I have difficulty following instructions for activities that involve body mechanics so having multiple perspectives of each exercise is extremely helpful. It could be idea to perform the movements yourself to start, as you talk to us about it, and then have someone demonstrate from other angles while you talk through things to look out for, etc. That way we get the best of both worlds. Your videos and your programs really help! Thank you.

[@AnkitBhaiyo-yt]

Thank you so much it give me soo much relief from it 😊

[@howardfierman8859]

I like BOTH methods of demonstration.

[@XGB-u2x]

This worked instantly so i subscribed! Well done young man!

[@aryankhah]

first of all the two tests for identification of root cause was fabulous. honestly I watched tens of videos on shoulder impingement and done the exercises without any tangible results, but this one made an immediate effect on my shoulders. For demonstration method I think its better to have 2 persons ( one for doing and one for talking) with different camera angles to show the whole position. thanks

[@howienordstrom1646]

I like it when you show the exericse/move. I'm glad you said "what if both are restrictive": 10° IR, maybe 20° ER. 😢

[@amy3458]

Great video. Thank you so much! I have had so much trouble with my left shoulder. I’ll start this today. Thank you!

[@akasenju3605]

thank you sooo much i felt immediate relief once i started doing these stretches

[@conorharris]

Wonderful!

[@MasterPoucksBestMan]

Your videos have definitely helped me. I prefer when you demo the techniques.

[@martinwidmann6714]

This video has been very informative. I feel like it is the information I was lacking all this time when trying to fix my shoulder problem and the assessment confirms it. Thanks a lot!

[@davidpatrik4142]

Exercise 1 is a game changer for me. Been doing it regularly for about a year at this point especially on training days. I find it hits a bit different most every time.

[@atimnea3170]

Yesss, thank you for this ! Btw I prefer it when you demonstrate the moves.

[@kalex888]

Wow, instant mobility increase. Thanks Conor

[@mrgreenbudz37]

Hey Conor, great video and demonstration. I have super tight shoulders and don't come close to the range of motions you demonstrated. I will incorporate these stretches into my daily and see how I progress. Thank you.

[@mlangby]

Hey Conor, This seems to be just what I need. Thanks, thanks and thank you. This is the first video of yours that I've come across and I think that you doiing the exercises yourself is great - ie. you give a very good demonstration of what not to do. Bye for now from France.

[@khrbrk]

Finally someone that understands how important the breathing is for stretches. I would tell my yoga participants that it was like stretching from the inside to the outside. And I like seeing you do the exercise because only you can notice the ‘feeling’ that you can get from the smallest adjustment of the moves and then can convey that to the viewer.

[@myla6135]

What a good way of putting it. Stretching from the inside to the outside. Thank you!

[@stephgreen3070]

This was a top notch video! I do prefer it when you do the demonstrations yourself. For some reason it is easier for me to follow when you are talking it through and showing it in real time. Thanks so much for this video. I am a cleaner and my right shoulder is trashed. These exercises felt great. Appreciate your help!!!

[@piedpiper7051]

Tomorrow I'm starting your suggestions. PT is not resolving my issues with both shoulders rolled forward, pain and restriction. Your demonstration/explanation looks pretty good to me.

[@showze21]

I’m getting a great stretch with these and they’re easy to do with a little practice. I’m 73 years old, really important to maintain shoulder health and strength.

[@karimhussein3610]

Perfectly timed vid for me, thank you for the knowledge 👍🏻

[@pcan6441]

I prefer it when you demo the exercises, thank you!

[@libervolucion]

Thank you, your videos are really helpful. Keep it up

[@myla6135]

I think these shoulder vids of yours are about to save my life. I've been doing everything all wrong for months since a nasty injury. So very grateful. Oddly although I was watching some of your stuff a while back my pea-brain just couldn't quite get it, but all of a sudden a few pennies dropped and it seems and even feels crystal clear. A million thanks. Oh, I prefer it if you do the exercises yourself. It's okay when you demonstrate with someone else but it can occasionally be a bit distracting in some way that I'm not able to explain.

[@kanwarmanish1572]

Yes, this worked for me. And you can instantly feel the stretch extending and relaxing the shoulder muscles from back to all the way to the elbow.

[@TheSnackie]

It is your knowledgeable and detailed explanations of what to do and what not to do with visual demo no matter who is doing it that is so effective. The multiple angles and close up views are helpful. If I had to choose Id say my preference is a 2nd person so you can really point out things while in the process of demo. Thank you for sharing so much! Your vids and programs have helped me a lot. I lost 200+ lbs and my body had no clue how it was supposed to be situated or move properly. Im this many years old and just now learning how to breathe and walk 😂

[@jhleerph]

Slight preference when you demonstrate but just grateful for the vids either way!

[@EthanMckennaMusic]

I personally like when you demonstrate the exercises.

[@airi75089]

3:38 I want to cry. You just might have changed my life. Absolutely spectacular. And just what I need. I clearly have so much restriction on the front cause I definitely do not have near 75 degrees lol, so this helped SO SO SO much and instantly too! I can believe it! I’ve tried so many aimless exercises that just seemed to make things worse just for this to instantly have helped me. Thank you so so so so much! 😭😭💕

[@lisafenton9813]

I am totally shocked and amazed that after doing these simple exercises this morning, I have had no pain in my shoulder all day today, and it had been bothering me for the last two weeks. Thank you so much!!!

[@chintansurana9017]

4:21 lat doesn’t pull shoulder in and forward. It’s helps build the entire shoulder girdle down among other movements but not forward.

[@Mike-mb1yf]

Tight lats pull shoulders forward

[@leeg672]

Great info and demonstration! I am suffering from fwd head posture and Kyphosis due to an old T-Spine injury. For the past year I've suffered EMMENSELY from what KIND OF "appeared" to be a rotator cuff injury. Severe pain represented in rotator cuff especially when moving overhead. I been to PT Twice, had a shoulder MRI and a neck MRI trying to find the cause. No rotator cuff injury was found, cervical spine is not good. But, nothing specific to diagnose. ESPECIALLY in today's society, (cell phones, sitting all day...) Dr's are really going to need to start taking postural defects into account. i.e. Forward head or Nerd neck and subsequent rounded shoulders, etc... My above issues are from my Scapula's (shoulder blades) NOT rotating properly and shutting down my shoulder joint in upwards and backwards movements (lot's of Pain too!) with any wgt or resistance at all... FWIW, I did try to tell all the PT's and all the Ortho's that my Scap's were Not rotating properly and Still none of these "Professionals" figured it out!! Your diagnosis/drills and exercises have made a world of difference so far! THANK YOU!!

[@HasanSiki-y6f]

My problems are on both sides, I was looking for a latissimus stretch 20 minutes ago, it's just great

[@pranavjayshankar2642]

Thank you Conor for this! I was having a sharp pain for a couple of days in my left shoulder whenever I tried moving my arm up. The KZbin algo brought me this video and I tried your fix and holy shit my pain simply disappeared. Now I can feel my rear delt more active and supporting my arm when I move it up. 💪🏻

[@Binidin]

My shoulders are pretty asymmetrical so I am getting different results for each side. I have done exercise one before on both sides and after watching this I found it much more effective to do exercise one of the left side and exercise two on my right. I am currently working through the lower limb foundations and am getting great results after just the first week. How soon would you recommend starting the shoulder health program? I have spent a lot of years recovering from a series of accidents getting mediocre results but I am really starting to see significant changes after starting with the beginner body restoration and getting my feet starting to work again. I've seen more progress in the last 6 weeks than previous 6 years, really getting a lot out of this channel.

[@hubenbu]

Get Strong with Kelly to your studio doing the demonstrations and it's going to be a win-win.

[@plkhhghj]

I felt the area between my spine in the area stretch opened up sideways afterwards. The physical therapist I had felt more like a personal trainer didn't really account for weakness in dif. Areas. Excercises gave me a headache. Thank you again the other excercise in the other vid seems to have reduce the neck stiffness and headaches

[@ruudvleugels3259]

Hi Conor, first of all your content stands out and I appreciate you sharing this publicly for free, thank you! Just did my first set for external rotation, and I'm curious to see when I notice the first results :) Will report back in a while! Stay healthy everyone, do not give up ❤

[@gabrielapoehlmann2374]

Simply great! Thanks a lot !!!

[@jframe-os2zi]

Thanks, either demonstrating your self or with a second person is good. You explain the test and stretch very well.

[@Carnivorepothead]

I use all of these techniques and love them! But I also practice reaching exercises that help a LOT also. Imagine standing kinda close to a wall, raising one arm and placing on the wall as high as you can reach without extending. While keeping your feet planted gently start to reach higher up the wall. I usually can extend 3 inches from where I started. There’s a lot of variations but start small. Your body is able to do this but we’re not doing it hardly any. Good luck 😶‍🌫️✌️

[@johnnybraut]

I think it is best when you are the narrator. It's a little better when you are narrator with a model posing. Overall, these are outstanding videos.

[@nyawoods4343]

Very helpful. I've been living with right arm pain after I got hot by a car in 2017. I've never felt such pain . I just saw a pain management doctor today because for a bit, the pain went away it's back again. I was given an ultrasound, and I had inflammation in the arm. I honestly rather exercise than take painkillers any exercise that you suggest? Thanks!

[@OldManArmStrength]

I do something similar lying on my back on a mattress where I slowly roll with my arm pointed to my side just an inch at a time until I can fully roll all the way over on my arm. The first few times were incredibly sore, but after that I was able to lift my arm over my head again. Also I did the sleeper stretch along with it as well which helped. These look like a good addition to those

[@shml5231]

Absolute unit of a specialist. I would love to have a "kinésithérapeute" in french, of your level of knowledge I am so thanksful for your advices, i kinda prefer when you are doing the exercises by yourself

[@Rose_A]

My shoulder pain fixed itself after 2 days with these exercises ❤

[@BelkoTVMexicanJoker]

U are a gem. I prefer when u do it 🫂

[@PookieNarc119]

Hey conor, can you make a video on all types of clicking in shoulder and how to fix thek.

[@shivamdubey4430]

I think having multiple camera angles to see the positions would be very helpful.

[@michaellieberman9419]

Either or is ok. As long as you keep making these great videos.

[@dianemoril7612]

I prefer when you demonstrate on someone else. but as it can be difficult to find a partner for your videos, just do with what you've got. your explanations are enough. thank you for sharing!

[@petar_d488]

I tried this today for the first time , I felt a big shoulder pop, but no pain. The stretching feels good, I hope this will help with my impingement.

[@mv5984]

Personally I prefer when a guest shows the action and you talk them through it. Or in this case when you were showing the action/s and the other guy talked us through it

[@circles79]

I think it's more direct to watch you do the exercises as you talk through it.

[@sirrobinofloxley7156]

Ex 1 I found that when turning into it, then turning away from it, and back into it allows a big widening and stretching.

[@lolitamiranda892]

Ya i like the the exercises to be performed and what about if we have no bar like in the video.?

[@buckyhelmsmash7670]

Wow, this works like magic

[@Santu9484]

I have flat feet which are rotated outwards and my knees point inwards also because of that my whole upper body posture is ruined (anterior pelvic tilt and some imbalance) could you please bring a video on it😢 it's a kind request

[@norbertnagy5514]

There seem to be a video on flat feet

[@ionutnicusorghimpu842]

Very interesting!I only wonder how the h... are these exercises suppose to heal for ex. a partial tear or an elongation of the transvers humeral ligament (who keep the long head biceps's tendon into it's groove)?!?

[@jonathanveale119]

Brilliant explanations, and advice . . . but that bloody music! Nevertheless, I have subscribed. Thanks again.

[@vehiculemagazine]

perfect

[@ori7267]

Having Someone else demo as you talk through it.

[@carolineray2155]

Even though this is" stupidly simple "it would be helpful to demonstrate the stretches on each side. Right shoulder and left. Thanks!

[@billandrews5148]

I have bone-on-bone irritation in my left shoulder, so getting a full swing with a golf club is almost impossible. Will this exercise relieve some of the pain and improve my flexibility?

[@dastanrasul]

What if it constantly cracks when rotating externally and moving it side way down up

[@DekarsBlade]

I have been having shoulder pain and the funny thing is I've been doing these exercises for quite some time because they always give me the best relieve. Although they give some comfort and relieve I always feels like my left chest muscle underneath the scapula feels to tight.

[@jagtenleo3551]

hey, conor, thanks for your thought-provoking video🎉! But i have a question for the second test! My left shoulder fails in the second test, that is the external rotation test of shoulder. And it makes me think of that i took an X-ray yesterday day and the figure shows that my spine has a left sideway curve. So i would like to ask you if my limited externally rotation on my left shoulder is related to the curvature of my spine to the left side ❤

[@roberttango415]

Thank you sir

[@fitnesspainfree]

External rotation is limited by the muscles on the front of the shoulder and anterior shoulder capsule no, no? Also internal rotation is limited by the posterior shoulder muscles and the capsule? Any reason you say this is flipped?

[@rozario1994]

that's what I was thinking. And also, the latissimus dorsi must be stretch with external rotation (cause it pull the shoulder internal rotation when contracted). So the hand must be up toward the sky.

[@jdmtunedR]

BOTH Please :D

[@triumpHya]

Will those excercises also help with a functional impingment ? Curious here…

[@johnly2575]

Prefer when you show the exercises. Feels easier to learn the information when I don’t have to watch 2 things at once.

[@daniell.4287]

Hi Conor, I feel a deep stretch in the shoulder. Did I do something wrong ? Daniel from France

[@apacur]

Is this good for Frozen Shoulder?

[@benfrancis1120]

Great presentation style. Its hard to figure out though the purpose of each exercise as youre analysis of range of motion is opposite to what is expected. Ie if you have limited internal rotation, you have a condition known as GIRD. This is common in throwing athletes where the throwing shoulder cocks back excessively into external rotation it usually results in limitations or tightness in internal rotation. Most research would suggest this is due to a tightness of the posterior shoulder capsule and the external shoulder rotators. You have stated the reverse in both your analysis of internal and external rotation. This isnt to say your exercises might not be on point and helpful, just seemed a bit hard to follow as the reasoning is opposite to expected

[@joshs2138]

I prefer when you demo the movements, not someone else.I seem to understand what you are explaining better.

[@kvmnkikassshit6679]

Sir,are thier certain exercises that you should limit when performing therapy on you scapula & shoulder.

[@angelinam6855]

I prefer both

[@mars9953]

Brilliant!

[@lutovac_nikola]

Conor would you ever recommend a chiro?

[@VictorGrunack]

Would you actually train shoulder internal rotation outside of the normal weightlifting? Because most excerises promote shoulder IR right?

[@zatiger21]

I have a question about exercise #1. How does stretching the lats loosen up the front pec area?

[@dex5368]

What if I did both assessments and perfectly did them with no pain or getting stuck? Yet I still can’t exercise (bench or any rowing / pulling movement) without left shoulder discomfort and, if I push through, complete left shoulder pain. Kind of like a left shoulder ache - I rarely get stabbing pain. And there’s no pain unless I exercise or challenge my left shoulder a little bit. A couple of push ups - no problem. A real set of bench, though? Definitely walk away with left shoulder discomfort/ache.

[@sheirfrabiea1348]

What if I have full range of motion but there is popping sounds ?

[@Stantheman848]

From those tests ..my problem is definitely the first.. the front. How many times a day do you recommend doing this exercise?

[@golamshahriar128]

Awesome!!!!

[@MARIAANGELESMARTINEZQUIRCE]

I like it when you do it yourself

[@pm6613]

Pain in the left side rear (shoulder) could be indications of STROKE!

[@orisyousuf5171]

I have pain in both soulder but at near under arm back side if I touch it hurts and if I take my arm backward I feel that my joint has come out. . What to do . I don't know exactly how I tell u that where is pain area but it is back of arm rotator

[@marklego4750]

I like watching you do them and i copy you

[@marklego4750]

Thanks so much this has helped me so much with my torn rotator cuff injurt from 10 years ago. So much progress since your videos

[@CharlesShelley-z4z]

Great!

[@hrwedsash]

Why would you stretch your lats rather than your pecs when you are tight on the front?

[@andrea09091987]

Because lats are involved in internal rotation of the humerus

[@pawapepegemabori]

Пусть я даже не знаю английский язык я смотрю ваши видео. Включаю субтитры и перевод на русский.

[@AFA111]

My left shoulder having a sharp pain after I did 70lbs Dumbbell Shoulder Press last month. It's been over a month...now I do only OH Press on Machine 😢

[@simplyem.]

It’s the opposite. If you’re limited in external rotation, the internal rotators or the ones that are tight

[@r.giuliano]

Prefer when you demo but enjoy the videos regardless!

[@sarfrazshah7160]

my left shoulder is very bad but not bicep side and also not tricep between bicep and tricep area shoulder killing me any exercises please
