Hi Doctor Jo! I bought the 12 Rotator Cuff Exercises program & the “I” of the Prone I, T, W, Y is causing a lot of sharp pain sitting (impossible prone) even with ibuprofen. Is there an alternative? Thanks!

I did your Swiss ball variation and my left palm wants to pronate and I can feel my forearm struggling.

I know you can't give me diagnosis without assessment but does this usually indicate a particular problems?
