This was a really great video. A few things I'm noticing about this sort of injury -

1. It often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. I see that a lot of folks have experience walking into a doctor's office with this problem, and not getting the proper care they need

2. It's something that you can come back from, with the proper rehabilitation.

My experience: I got a type 2 separation on my left side from football, and a type 1 from fighting practice (I fell wrong). With a consistent exercise routine, I was able to kickbox, breakdance, lift my bike overhead and carry it into the shed everyday, and do handstand pushups. I only recently stopped all that cause I'm focusing on raising my kid.

My point, is that you can definitely come back from this, with the right care and attention. You got this, fam. I believe in you💪🏾👌🏾

I’m 8 weeks post op from a grade 5 AC separation. I had hook plate surgery and my hardware is scheduled to be removed 4 months from my surgery date. I have been doing all these exercises and have been seeing huge improvements in my R.O.M. Great video!

wonderful video has given me hope and your calm and well articulated words have given me so much encouragement to do the mentioned exercises.
Just appreciate you for sharing this video so very much ...God bless you for your expertise, knowledge and care

Did not know what the hell was wrong with me until I found this video. Already a lot better now since doing these exercises

[kevindehority]

Excellent video. I am a baseball pitcher and have noticed sharp pain when over throwing or using poor mechanics. I have a doctor’s appointment to address the issue, which I am sure is highly contributed to years of surfing and pitching. I appreciate this video for the excellent exercises and education about what might be going on in my shoulder.

I was diagnosed years ago with X-rays which revealed that I was bone on bone in my left AC joint. This among several other overuse injuries led to my abandonment of all exercises because I was in pain 24/7 for two years.

I'm now currently 63 years old and still 40 pounds overweight. Recently, I began walking and doing some basic, ground based calisthenics. I lost 20 pounds.

Everything was going quite well for about 3 months. I went from failing to complete two sets of 5 push-ups, to doing 4 sets of 25-30 in my 5 exercise, full body calisthenics routine.

I was mostly pain free in my bad shoulder, so I started adding some more various light dumbell and band exercises. Suddenly, the old shoulder pain came back and once again, I'm now in rehab mode. I suspect that overhead presses, lateral raises and chair push-ups were the main culprits. Before that, my standard push-ups and any type of pulling and rowing exercises virtually pain free.

My question is this: How was I able to progress so well with a bone on bone joint and where should I go from here, assuming that I can get the pain to go away through rehab?

Everything that I've read is geared toward rehab exercises, but I can't find anything that tells me exactly which exercises, I should attempt and which ones I should permanently eliminate, since I'm never technically going to be "healed" and I'm just trying find exercises that won't aggravated my permanently damaged AC joint.

Excellent video that explains the key exercises and what areas they work. I injured my AC in a Grade 3 tear six weeks ago now. 2 weeks in a sling then isometric exercises then bands. Using light weights now. It's a long slow road so be conscientious. You have to take responsibility for your own recovery. Do your own research. Reach out to experts. A blue sling and some over the counter painkillers from the hospital emergency (also my story) is not anywhere near good enough. All the best for anyone suffering this injury along with the lack of medical interest in it.

Excellent video without the 5 minute introduction.

[loriwilliamson]

Fabulous video! thank you for the short yet thorough details and demonstrations!!!

[hornsteinhof]

Thanks, gonna try those. My lefthand AC joint got destroyed in a bike accident. Its now arthritic and has been for about 15 years. There is no cartilage or any more, just a mash of bone that hurts during movement. Can't do a heavy bench press ever since. Im working around it by restricted range of motion push-ups or dips.

I had a fight since 3 years ago and visit many doc and still in pain and my shoulder won’t grow :(

[georgelykousis]

Thank I am going to have a go to get my shoulder strong good clear instructions

[calholli]

I walked into the ER with my shoulder falling off. They gave me a $3 blue sling and showed me the door. With enough complaining I finally got referred to a "specialist"- who walked in for literally 6 seconds, push my shoulder around in 3 directions as I'm screaming in pain-- and directly walks out without even saying a word to me. and he sent my a $600 bill. Here I am a decade later and I'm still suffering from my shoulder with binding and grinding and constant pain and restricted movement, with my collar bone sticking up out of my shoulder. The "health care" system in the US is a f^cking joke. They DO NOT help people without money.

[ericbougnat]

Thanks very much
Y was looking after such a video like this for a long time

[jonathanallen]

Well explained and quite comprehensive video! I'm still suffering grade 2/3 ac joint injury and although now my rehab is progressing well I would have started better if I'd seen this video initially and not had a few setbacks. Thanks for putting this together 😊

[ryanbey]

Thanks boys. This is exactly what I needed!
