I’ll be retiring from the physical therapy profession in the next two months after 42 years. What I have enjoyed over the past few years is watching all these “younger” PT’s on Y tube. E3rehab is one of the best. Love their information and how they present. You will not find more up to date info explained in such an un-biased way. Wishing you all the best!

This is probably one of the best shoulder rehab videos I’ve seen. Very thorough and informative. Thank you so much!

[Poslan]

I've overused my shoulder over the last couple of years, now working on recovery. Thanks for what you are doing. Amazingly useful content.

Right Shoulder rotator injury for 15 yrs, 42 yrs old now. I've been working on it for 8 months nonstop. Wasn't able to do these exercises with 1 pound dumbbell at start now able to do with 15-20 pound dumbbells. I feel it won't be fully repaired ever.

All the young gym goers, don't just jump on bench and bench pressing or dumbbell pressing without proper warm up every single time cuz that's what I did in my younger years. Proper technique is MUST. Shoulder injury can last all your life.

This is a very comprehensive video for shoulder issues in general. I use these daily and have helped a lot of people. Great job E3! Keep putting out quality content!

i got a grade 2 shoulder sprain from brazilian jiu jitsu + having ehler danlos syndrome (I know. its bad for me. but i love it!) I am using this to help along my recovery + strengthen my "good side" to prevent future damage and protect my joints. Thank you! best presentation I have seen!

After looking at a fair amount of poor content on you tube just found this great video and now feel i have a way forward with my injury. Thankyou

Great information on this channel. I recently re-injured my rotator cuff and having to go through another long rehab period again is very depressing and frustrating.

i did surgey to my right shoulder. MRI scan showed nothing and the pain was still there. i tried many years of rehab. I wish i didn't do the surgery. they found nothing when they went inside. i did an arthroscopy. they did not cut the bicep tendon and reattached it, they just looked. they did however perform a bursectomy, i.e. removing the subacromial bursa, and the ortophedic surgeon told me that it grows back within 6-8 weeks, aka they did nothing they just looked. the rehab was going forward in the end before the surgery. i wish i never did it.

now my left shoulder is f*cked and same problem there. these tendons takes ages to heal ffs. my suggestion is to take it easy, dont ego lift, bands are really good, go through all of the function of the shoulder daily if you can, with a light band, start with a light band, progress SLOWLY to stronger resistance band color wise.

try to think that your sole purpose is to restore balance and function to the glenohumeral joint, not to increase in weights or become stronger. the weight does not matter. get some good blood circulation in there. it should feel good afterwards immediately inside the shoulder and 1-2 days after aswell. if not, then lower the resistance or eliminate painful movement patterns.

I wish you all rehabbing your shoulders the very best of luck since we are on the same boat. i also have my right knee that's damaged and needs rehab aswell. it's really sad. people who are lazy and dont lift weights and people like me, that loves to workout but can't. :( it is my fault 100%, the injuries doesn't just appear randomly. It's not a random variable, there is a reason.

I really appreciate this! I have attended physio for 7 months now and with increasing healing. However, I am looking forward to building back strength and trying to hold off future injuries.

I appreciate your clear info and encouragement that I can heal the minor shoulder pain I'm experiencing without drastic measures! Thank you!

I train my shoulder with bench press, dips, pushups, pullups, rows, ohp, lateral y raises and facepulls in the gym. The vid seems to confirm to me that i have most functions/patterns covered 👍🏽 just want to still improve my range of motion for a more effective ohp, so I'll probably start to sprinkle in some stretches as exercise snacks during the day.

EXTREMY INFORMATIVE AND EFFECTIVE..HANDSOME MAN YOU ARE TRUE FRIEND OF EVERYONE WHO WANT TO BE FIT AND STRONG, RECOVERIBG FROM THE TRAUMA

[BillLowenburg]

This is exactly what I needed. This coming Friday I have an appointment with a physiatrist to set up a program to restore mobility and reduce pain in my right shoulder. I was happy to learn that exercise is very effective, even in the case of full rotator cuff tears. I don't know the extent of the damage in mine, but I'm confident now that I'll be able to be more comfortable and functional. My situation is somewhat complicated by the fact of having an impingement in my neck at C4, on the same side as my sore shoulder. This has existed for years and when I pass a threshold for activity with my right arm it triggers off spasms in my trapezius all the way up to its attachment on the back of the cranium. And damn, does that hurt. Nevertheless, I know my limits as far as exercises from years of dealing with this and armed with the new info you've provided am confident I can at least make some progress. I know I'll never be able to do what I did years ago, but I'm still in better shape than most people my age (68) and I'll stay active no matter what. Thanks so much for this excellent video!

[kevinwhelan]

This was excellent - thanks so much. I posted a comment earlier but it didn't appear. My sleep is especially troubled as I toss and turn in a semi-delirious way. Keep up the good work!❤

[adamantarts]

this was incredibly helpful, i tore both my shoulders a week and a half ago in a benching incident and didnt know what to do with myself when it came to the gym. the alternatives are super helpful, pushups and pullups even deadhangs have put too much shoulder strain and it hurts. couldnt do flys either the pressure hurt the front muscle of my shoulders so this is very helpful thank you
