Frozen Shoulder Exercises V1 - Adhesive Capsulitis - Calcific Tendonitis - Shoulder Stiffness

Frozen shoulder exercises to help lubricate and loosen your stiff shoulders.  Shoulders can either be moving too much or moving too little or even have shoulder fixations while having rotator cuff tears.  In turn, they need shoulder mobilization or shoulder stabilization or a combination of the two.  These exercises are for tight shoulders from conditions like arthritis in the shoulder joint, a fractured shoulder joint that healed too tightly, adhesive capsulitis, scar tissue in the shoulder joint, overly tight muscles like the subscapularis muscle and in some cases of bone spurs in the shoulder area. As always, listen to your shoulder and only do these if they do not exacerbate your shoulder pain.  

Along with trigger point therapy you may want to get some ESWT (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) which has been proven to help myofacial trigger points, scar tissue, tissue regeneration and more..

idk why your videos aren't trending.. they're so helpful and most importantly FREE! Thank you for your videos!

Thank you! Ran across your videos after searching for help with frozen shoulder WITH Tendonopathy. I've been dealing with a frozen shoulder since September 2023. Saw an ortho who said I needed physical therapy which, when you don't have insurance, is WAY expensive so I've been scouring youtube for helpful videos. Will definitely add this one to the collection and look forward to searching more of your videos for help.

I feel alive again after working my shoulders with this video. Life is busy but, I needed to take time out to do this. Even my neck feels more mobile. Your videos keep me going and help me kick start my day with positivity. Thanks Dr. Fields, the Youtube community values you very much.

Thank you so much, Dr. Field. My shoulder feels much better after following the frozen shoulder exercise. It's truly freed my shoulder. I don't feel pain anymore and can lift my arm without any problem.

The arm swinging reminds me of my childhood! Makes me feel like a little kid again, lol! This video is always my go to video when I don't want to work my shoulders. Thank you Dr. Fields! Stay forever young!

[Maddie]

Wow! It’s amazing how your own body instinctively tells you what to do. I have been doing some of these movements after every shoulder/rotator cuff exercise but I was doing them because it felt better and sometimes necessary to feel more relax and loose. Thanks

[vandaameera]

Hi Adam,
Thank you so much for putting these videos together for us! I have frozen shoulder doing these every day I am gaining some ROM back, I appreciate that you took the time to help us with this painful thing we are all going through since I broke my right humerus and super tuberosity this summer, what a journey I been on and your videos have helped me I just got back into my second set of PT, I am thankful for that two, because they are way better, then the first place I went to. I know I will get through this and part of it is because of you! Thank you Dr.Adam, and I know everyone else that needs your exercises thanks you too!

[patriciaq]

All your videos are awesome and your style is very calming!! I've been living in Spain for the last 3 years and your videos have been extremely helpful since I don't have a Chiropractor here. Both my shoulders are a mess and I'm going to incorporate your Frozen Shoulder V1 and V2 exercises into my daily routine! And, now, I'm going to check out your Hip/glut exercise video!
Thank you for all your hard work in providing an alternative to pills and surgery. Keep the videos coming! Stay safe!

[AishaMBudgets]

Thank you so much for these videos! I have Adhesive Capsulitis in my left shoulder and am incorporating some of your stretches into the routine that my physical therapist has me doing several times a day. We're on a low fixed income, so I'll only be able to see my PT once a month (maybe) so as I'm becoming stronger and getting more range of movement, I've been independently looking for other exercises like yours to help me.

[marianlee]

Thank you Dr. Fields. I do many of your exercises. This is the latest I have added to my regimen. What a life saver. It's part of my daily routine now.

[janewang]

Just say thank you again, still keep doing every morning... You are the best doctor for frozen shoulder. Many many thanks 🌞🌞🌞From 🇩🇪

[laszloguraly]

Thank you Doc for these excercizes from Hungary! It helps me to recover every day and enables me to do my job. It is already the part of my daily routine. I do it for about 4 weeks, and my pain in my both shoulder started to fade away, without any medical treatment. I am not 100% yet, but I do not give it up, takes weeks for sure. Great healing help, thanks!

[lourdesdavies]

Thank you Dr. Fields. Since started doing your exrcises for the frozen shoulder im feeling better with my right arm. Its just a matter of patience. God bless.

I am so grateful for you video. I am using my left shoulder with less pain with a little more range of motion. I have lymphedema in the left arm. This has been a very painful year, but I am better in the last month since I found your video. You have made me more hopeful and less painful.

[profelenaus]

Thank you, Dr. Adam! I had done this routine just for stretching, but now that I'm in pain, it is really working. can't do the whole movement range, but I can move my shoulder & upper back mush more than yesterday. Sure will be better every day. Thans a lot for sharing this! Greetings and bessings from Colombia!
