Shoulder labrum injuries happen! Typically they are caused by one of two reasons. The first being a compressive type of injury, the second being a traction type of injury. Dive into this video to learn the difference between the two.

What we do know about shoulder labrum injuries, and what we know REALLY well is that performing strengthening exercises with a focus on stability is crucial. Since the labrum helps to provide stability to the shoulder joint, with a labrum injury, we need to work on regaining that stability and neuromuscular control.

Check out some of our favorite exercises for shoulder labrum injuries in this video!

Got diagnosed with Subacromial bursitis (Inflammation posterior labrum) from playing golf following stabilisation surgery as my shoulder kept subluxing after a skiing accident (which stopped me playing for 2 years). This is best video I have found that specifically addresses my issue and gives better exercises than 3 different physios have suggested. I'm glad I now have a new plan of action in the gym and finally really hopeful I could get back swinging how I used to. Very grateful for the video, thank you so much

Rotator cuff injuries are very prevalent from car accidents also which I found out four years ago. I now have a grade 5 rotator cuff injury and they want to do surgery on me and I don’t think I can do it. I have heard about all kinds of horror stories of surgery going wrong.

Thank you for your video... Please I'm schedule for surgery next month.. Should I start the exercise or I should go for surgery... I want to know if the exercise can heal the injury

I have bilateral symptoms that align with Labrum tears but no idea how it happened. Seems so strange to have them both injured the same way without an event (accident or otherwise). Pain is bad enough I can’t do most of these movements. Going to rest for awhile and see what happens.

All your videos sound like squat university. I do appreciate the deeper understanding of specific injuries.

I have a posterior labral tear diagnosed by an mri but also have pain in the bicep tendon. Mri didn’t show anything involving the bicep being inflamed. Should I also treat it as proximal bicep tendonitis?

I feel like I still need help setting the shoulder in place before I can do the KB carry. It always feels really wrong on the left side especially, like the lat and traps want to cramp up

Great stuff, I am currently 7 months post-op an a shoulder labrum repair and still not quote there. This is great advice and direction for progressing out of commercial physical therapy.

Very educational! Thank you! What are your general thoughts about overhead athletes doing overhead strength movements - overhead barbell/dumbbell presses, overhead squats, snatches, etc? I've heard a few strength coaches say they don't like having their overhead athletes doing overhead strength work, so, at most, they'll have them do incline bench presses on a 45 degree incline bench. Your thoughts?

I've been told I need surgery. Still got pain in shoulder and bicep after 5 months. I also have a cist, or can you avoid surgery?

[mertmercimekci]

can you make a video about proksimal humerus fracture rehab protocol ? thanks.

Any suggestions for someone coming off a labrum surgery and is trying to get back to throwing (shot, disc, weight, etc)? I am about 6 months post operation.

Just noticed the Zoroastrian tattoo. Awesome man. Are there good alternatives for people with dumbbells and no kettlebells?

If you injured the left shoulder playing right handed my advise is switch to left handed golf and take lessons from a professional. Good advise for any golfer who is self taught, injured or not. All those bad swing habits will disappear and you'll be a superior golfer within a couple years.
