3 Easy Self Tests For A Rotator Cuff Tear

Показать описание
There's three easy self-tests for rotator cuff tendon tears. One is if you have pain when coming up somewhere in about this range, it could even hurt all the way up. Then you probably have a rotator cuff tear. Could be other things. But two, if you reach behind your back this way and it starts to hurt there, too. That's more evidence that you have a rotator cuff problem.

And three, if you just go and poke the edges of that, both, there is the acromion right off the edge of the acromion. This part of the bone of the shoulder blade is where the rotator cuff tendons. So on your body, if you just get on to your shoulder, there's my acromion that can feel the bony edge and maybe just fall a little far away from it, just described below it.

And you poke there all around the edges of it. And then you compare that with your other side. If the side that you have the tear on is very tender and there's usually one spot, maybe a few spots that are very tender that's consistent with a rotator cuff tear.

THIS GUY HEALED ME FREE ON YOU TUBE!! I had a bad rotator cuff tear and the doctor wanted to operate. I wanted to try non evasive therapy first however money is short and I can’t afford insurance. I found this guy and his exercises not only gave me immediate relief to get through my work day as a baggage handler but in a few short months I regained complete range of motion with little to no pain at all!

Probably ? No dude! It could be an impingement for all these. A tear is worst case scenario.

4th Test, if watching him poke his shoulder makes you wince and you just want him to stop, you have a tear. Stop....stop....youre making my shoulder hurt more 😅. I gotta call my doc now.

I have the first two. Third is very little tenderness, about the same on both sides.

Thanks for your videos. I had all of these symptoms a week ago. My shoulder feels almost 100% pain free now, but it's still a bit tender on my lat and a bit into my armpit. Is this normal and when do you recommend me getting back to working out and training?

Your 3rd suggested test is not very clear.. Would you be so kind as to do a video showing more details on how to do it properly?

No pain in my shoulder but I do have pain in my bicep muscle. I have had this pain for at least a couple of months. It comes and goes. Do you have a video on this?

After going to the chiropractor and physical therapy for 4 months I did I say I figured it out myself what in the world was wrong with me.

How can you tell the difference between a tear and just a strain or pulled muscle / tendon? Mines been improving a lot in just a week n a half just by keeping it still and Shrugged up like your prior videos stated to do.
