[timberwolvesxx]

thanks man, finally an explanation of the root cause (shoulder blade position). makes sense since I have bad posture at work.

Great stuff, greta presenting- I also really appreciated the way just GOT to the info. This elf us in pain don't need much more. I'll give this a try. Thank you!

With all do respect to your professional knowledge and experience, perhaps these exercises would help prevent or manage mild bursitis, but most likely irritate or exacerbate the typical bursitis sufferer. Especially 1st and 3rd. No chance in the condition I'm in.

wow, these are really nice therapy exercises, thank you doctor. I'll definitely try these. And if you don't have small dumbbells, just hold something, like 2 cans of soup or two full water bottles or 2 detergent jugs or two small weight plates, or 2 cantaloups or 2 heads of cabbage ..or 2 travel mugs full of water.

Does anyone here ever answer the questions in the comments? If the pain is too much to do these exercises, what do you recommend?

[sharonhollensbe]

Feel better right away doing these kinds of exercises that squeeze my back between the shoulder blades. Shoulder feels looser, movement less painful. Thanks. And I do have poor posture. Have to work on that.

I've had shoulder bursitis for 11 months now, 2 cortisone injects and the pec stretch at that angle will definitely pinch it and WITYs are out of the question even without the weights.

Just found your channel. Thank you, thank you for showing these exercises

Amazing clear video, so easy to follow, well presented👏🏽 I've seemingly had this bursitis forever and the pain and unstableness won't go away and I just wanna get back to the gym, is it the case of the more consistent you are and the more you work your shoulder the better it is? I hope this helps my recovery :) thanks again

Wow I can’t get my arm in any of these positions, so painful 😬.

[rogermccormick]

Sorry but these look more like stretches to prevent bursa pain maybe. I can tell you now that if you truly have bursa pain exercises 1 and 3 will be absolute agony. I've had 2 injections 3 months apart and its sorted one of my shoulders and brung the pain down by 95% ( for how long I dont know ) and I now need injections in my other shoulder. They are a mess and and the only thing I can think of that caused it was that i have a habit of leaning on my elbows/forearms when sitting on seats on at desks. It truly sucks and I have had this for almost a year. My consultant say it can last for upto 3 years. It's a miserable condition to have, just about everything you do other than keeping your arms by your side hurts and dont get me started about the frozen shoulder I got because of it. If you think a bursa injection in your shoulder sucks, get one for a frozen shoulder =). Good luck to everyone with the condition.

Will def be doing this at home... Had to get a cortisone shot earlier... Nurses was laughing at the "biker dude covered in tattoos, but scared of needles"... Woke up a year ago and shoulder felt like a toothache was in it... My ol lady finally made me go to Dr... A year later.. and yep Bursitis was the diagnosis... (Sad face) :(

[teatsoftime]

how many times a week would you recommend doing this exercise?

[pollythestandardpoodle]

My bursitis is so sore I was only able to do the push down on the chair. The first exercise hurt like hell and I know there is no way I could do the last!
