The KEY To Fixing AC Joint Pain

The key to fixing a chronically painful AC joint is improving scapular position AND releasing the sternoclavicular (SC) joint! A restricted SC joint will cause the AC joint to continually restrain.

So, in this video I’m going to teach you two techniques to release your SC joint, how to adjust your sleeping habits with one trick, how to release your pec minor, and the best exercise to strengthen the muscles that hold your shoulder blade in a better position.

6:20 Traumatic AC joint strains

AC joint pain (Acromioclavicular joint pain) comes from hypermobility (too much movement) of the AC joint. It can come from a sprained AC joint or separated AC joint—like in bike falls—OR restriction in your SC joint that builds up over time. These exercises are better for the latter.

A lack of movement in the SC joint causes the AC joint to move too much (AC joint dysfunction). These AC joint rehab exercises not only loosen up the SC joint, they loosen the Pec Minor and improve shoulder blade muscle movement key to reducing AC joint inflammation.

I've discovered that releasing the small, superior portion of the the Pec Major, where it attaches directly onto the collar bone, helps AC joint problems enormously so check out the new video link!!

[davidsantillan]

Bro literally fixed my shoulder I love you

[acedegenerate]

I love how the camera on my phone finally watches me stretch a part of my body and suggest the appropriate video

[BendyRoy]

Incredible. The pec minor ball-release you advised immediately relieved the clicking and popping I've been struggling with for years. Thank you so much

[keithturbo]

Wow, amazing! I've been dealing with neck, shoulder & collarbone pain & discomfort for 18 months. This video nailed my posture pitfalls & the exercises have had an immediate effect. Thanks for such clear & concise presentation too.

[markuskluge]

I watched a lot of AC joint pain videos on YouTube and this is one of the best! Thank you

[siddarthkarki]

Perfectly diagnosed my shoulder pain that I used to get repeatedly while bench pressing with a barbell, your exercises also helped in reducing the swelling and haven't got the pain since then even after benching more than 80 kilos! Thank you, good content indeed.

[Allstarfitnessca]

I watched a lot of videos on how to recover my AC joint pain. This guy is the only one out of 10 videos that actually gets it

[Quicksilver_]

You are absolutely great. I have tried this exercise and i am getting better. Now the pain has reduced. Thank you so much. I had tried so many other exercises but nothing worked

[burneyvisser]

This is a really important missing piece of my shoulder pain. Really can't thank you enough

[Jules-]

Thanks for this and demonstrating the exercises so clearly. Also, thanks for not shouting at the viewer, some of the other videos on YouTube are not watchable for me because the demonstrators, whilst knowledgeable, speak so fast and so loud. I recently hurt my hip and for about 3 weeks I could only turn over in bed by hoisting my body weight up with my arms straight, hands pressed into the mattress. Seems I've definitely strained my AC joints. Hip is great now, but shoulders very painful, hopefully to be rectified soon.

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have been suffering with a painful ACJ for 4 months. It was originally misdiagnosed by a physio! She then gave me exercises which made it worse and delayed the healing process. A second and third opinion gave the diagnosis of sprained ACJ. I’m trying to avoid an injection so I will definitely try these techniques. Warm wishes, Sam !

[Paperlover]

OMG...I believe you may have hit on my trouble. I've been to an Ortho, and had p.t. and nobody ever mentioned this to me....just a pulled or strained sternocleidomastoid muscle! Nothing has helped me. I'm going to buy a tennis ball now and do all of these exercises! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!

[sehiroglu]

i have biceps tendonits in lower elbow side which exercise will help me ?

[karenlee]

Definitely will start these exercises! And avoid the really bend knee when sleeping. I always sleep like that.

[jonathanmagic]

Great content thanks. 67yo Localised AC pain sudden onset while doing push-ups 8 mths ago and pain no better. xrays, doctors, physio, some widening but generally no idea, the physio told me I was too old and it will always be sore.

[skinnyrods]

Imma try these ons out. I'll come back in a week to keep y'all updated!

[dawin]

You put your finger exactly on my problem. All the causes of this problem that you mention are the ones I am guilty of. I feel very good now and trust that your recommendation will be right on the money for me and solve my AC joint pain problem. Thanks 2:54 3:29. sleeping position 4:02 4:40 5:20

[muhammadehsan]

I have issues with c5'6 and c6, 7
Mild disc buldge
And Clavicle and scapula issue
Same as your are giving tips and excercise for that point.

[ElNachoMacho]

Excellent video. This helps tremendously. I especially appreciate the segment about sleeping positions
