Does 'hang therapy' fix shoulder pain?

Credit to orthopedic surgeon, Dr. John M. Kirsch author of Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention. In 90% of his patients who were due to have shoulder surgery, prescribing one movement as an alternative actually eliminated their pain altogether. This movement? The dead hang.

Try hanging for a total of 2 min daily to start. Use your feet for support at first, and ease into it.

This has worked for people who have come to me with shoulder issues, but you’re showing an active hang and he specifies that you have to relax into the hand so that the shoulder blade can move out and up for this to work.

I’ve done it with a 40 year old shoulder injury it works. Took two months. I now can sleep properly.

I had significant shoulder impingement that negatively impacted my gym workouts. None of the rehab exercises I tried for my shoulder helped until I tried 'dead hangs' as shown in this video. When I started, I couldn't even manage 15-seconds with a dead hang. Now I do 150-second dead hangs three times daily as part of my regular workouts. My shoulder impingement pain disappeared. This worked well for me. It also strengthened my grip significantly. Highly recommended.

I tried this just randomly, after having alot of shoulder pain when working out. Did it literally for 10 secs 3 times and what a big difference already. Cant wait to do it more often

That book saved me hundreds of $ in rehab services. ❤ Dr. Kirsch

does deadhangs also build muscles, specifically shoulder muscles?

[zertbrown]

I've just started this and im hype for the results

[monnoo]

should that be performed pronated or supinated?

[catcolb]

Is there a modified version of this? My wrists will not tolerate that.

I want to advise to my mom, she is 49 and has a pain in one shoulder since 1 and a half year. Are there risks that it makes situation worse or it is worth just trying to look if it helps.

Hi, is this good for a frozen shoulder?

[apacur]

Would holding on to the top of a door frame work as well?

[siredwardkelly]

Even if you already have a rotator cuff injury?

I have a dislocated shoulder from chicken wing muscle up, half year ago started doing pull ups and push ups and popping has decreased and started to feel better but still something bothers me, can hanging help me in this case?

[sandmann]

I just started getting the pain and thoughts about what i should go about it, and this came up ! I hadn't searched for it before, so this was pure intention, or coincidence 😅

What if you have a tear in your supinatus
