Did this video help you with your shoulder pain?

[tgramm]

Just what I Didn't know what I did to cause such pain to my right shoulder. Pain was most noticeable when I would reach towards the backseat in the car or put something in a lower cabinet while reaching down. Thanks Mr, Matt, you're the best!

I’ve been almost driven mad by shoulder pain with a frozen shoulder. I can’t tell you how much these videos have helped. Thank you!!

[ProStarPlanet]

I've done this, and it has helped tremendously. I do this at my desk.
To keep your coworkers from thinking that you are about to claim workman's comp...lol

Simply sit upright in your chair, tuck in your chin, and push your arms back against the wall as suggested. Keeping your torso upright and straight. Hold that position for about a minute Then do the same thing except push your straight arms against the desk and out to the side for about 2 minutes while making sure that you are straight and tucking your should down and toward your computer.

Everything is the same except that you are sitting in your office.

Its crazy how this helps right away. Thanks matt I appreciate you. Thought I was just getting old.

[thenightcreeper]

Thanks dude, tried this once and 80% of the pain has gone straight away, it was hurting just trying to lift a feather

[sarasramdas]

Thank you so much! You’re truly a Godsend for me! 🙏
I have been dealing with worsening shoulder pain and this since morning, haven’t been able to lift my left arm. I stumbled upon this video and tried your wall method - works miracles!!

[bahify]

It’s crazy but it literally helped my pain go away I just googled why my shoulder hurts and how to fix it and voi la thank you Man U saved me a trip to the hospital

[IvyMyki]

Ok, 5 minutes ago it hurt to raise my arm to about 45degrees.
Now i can lift it fully. Slight locking pain in the centre but 99% better.
Wow, thank you

Just saw this online and tried it. Matt - YOU are a wizard! I've been dealing with continual should pain when trying to rotate my right arm to the side, but didn't know why. I immediately learned from this video that it is probably because as a health care provider and since Covid have been using a telehealth platform from home and sit hunched over (unknowingly) seeing patients. Pulling weeds clearing flower beds this year also didn't help! I did both exercises for only 2 minutes each just as you demonstrated and omg, immediately experienced a difference in ROM and sense of strength in arm. How is it possible? I'm going to do this for a few weeks and then am planning to also take your $149 program for shoulder strengthening because at 72, I want to hit the pickleball court, swim, do tai chi and other body work to stay fit. You are a god-send, can't thank you enough. Looking for where I make a donation.

[ExpandOurAwareness]

I usually just work through any pain and it goes away. But my right shoulder has had pain for too long now. Tried this exercise and its working already. Will be continuing. Thanks Dude.

[calamitiesagain]

Omg I’ve been in so much pain, I am so glad I found this video

[meobongnhi]

I went swimming 3 days ago and now can’t lift up my right arm. There’s nos pain when lifting it up with the support from left hand but simply cannot raise the right arm up :(
I’ll try this and get back to give a review. Thank you

[Barakah_Studios]

Thank you so much ! I went hosptail and they have done nothing ! It’s so painful ! I can’t move my left arm when move it up and my shoulder
Hurts ! I did this excircise and it actually feels a bit better for a long way to go but yes thank you

[nilsnerger]

Wow I just did this after waking up with shooting pain in my arm and I’m feeling not complete but a little instant relief thank you so much

[Stripping_Bolts]

I've had shoulder pain as long as I can remember, had to stop MMA because it got so bad. Recently started again and the pain was back. Just did this and my shoulder feels instantly better 😮

[DB-osqw]

thanks for the great tips! As a vendor in the spinal instrument industry, it was my first instinct to assume that this pain was initiating from my cervical spine (radiculopathy) but Im not having any out of the ordinary f tingling, weakness or numbness in my arm, but there is the pain. Enough pain that even lifting a gallon of milk off the top shelft is a tall task.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the "screen time" culprit. I am guilty as charged! I will try these exercises tonight and give you a report.

[MandVersusNature]

I never would have put two and to together about my posture and the way my arms get caught when I try and do things like yoga or weight machines. Can’t wait to try this in the morning.

[brendismuke]

I learn something new or renewed from everyone of your videos! Thank you!!

[Sww]

Wow! Thank you, its worked wonders for me
