I thank God for competent people in the medical field who can actually spot and recognize real issues that are going on in people’s bodies and help them get better
Doctors aren't specified on functional movements and the clinical reasiong around them. Even orthopedics and suergons aren't. Often they look to much throw a structural lense. And in this guy u probably won't find to much relevant damage in and around the shoulde joint.
In 4 years: 3 doctors, 5 different physical therapists. None figured out why I had shoulder pain. Figured it out my f’ing self and I’m so mad at all the time I lost
@@januar2741 i was wrestling my friends and for some reason my shoulders cracked while wrestling and I was in pain for 3-4 days then the pain went away and when I wrestled again same thing happened to my shoulders I went to the doctors they said I haven’t tore any ligaments or tendons I just need to rest it and I have been resting them for a week now and Im just trying to see how I can prevent this from happening again and some times when I lift heavy or move my shoulders around they hurt a little bit
@@januar2741 That list covers pretty much everything the shoulder does and is so vague to be useless. You need to be able to identify the specific cause of the issue to be able to fix it.
My shoulders have been messed up for well over a decade now. I need to see someone like you. I went one time, they got x-rays and couldn't find anything wrong and said "maybe I have bone spurs" and sent me to a physical therapist who just had me to exercises to improve my posture and she seemed to know nothing about rotator injuries. Needless to say, none of it helped.
I have so much respect for Squat University. I'm having a similar injury as this guy that I've been dealing with for the past 16 months. Been to 3 physical therapists and multiple orthopedists and no one can help me.
🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻 I need as many STABILITY exercises as possible from this channel. So many injuries/sprains and useless PT sessions with overbooked PT staff.
Im in the same boat, at least 4 physical therapists, mri, xrays, injections, chiropractors, massage...been in pain for decades...one set of these exercises and i can already notice a difference...bless you 🙌
Some (not all) doctors seem akin to ChatGPT in how they stick to routine procedures, rely on base (and often old) information, and have/use intuition from experience to diagnose. Honestly, it's sort of a breakdown of "first principles" thinking, but I understand that they aren't House (the show) and dont have the time and resources to delve into wvwry case - yet another failing of our medical system, but i digress. I've met a few doctors that break the mold, so there's hope.
If you ever have slightly complicated health related issues you soon figure out the incompetence of a lot of doctors. A lot of them are also quite ignorant and narcissistic in believing what they know and have the tendency to gaslight sometimes. I’m open to being proved wrong, but I suspect a lot of doctors, due to training such a broad spectrum of concepts for the time it takes, eventually gives them the impression that they know it all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s impressive and must be very difficult. But The longevity of it leaves them with a level of ignorance through arrogance. Fair play to this guy for finding someone that helped. Shocking it took so many
This is exactly my issue. Every doctor or physical therapist just told me to do that one external rotation exercise with a band, and it didn’t help much. These exercises helped immediately
Several months ago I did my first 95 pound standing barbell press. I have had discomfort ever since with some not normal movements when I tried to press. My coworker kept recommending this channel to me so I finally checked it out and tried the upside down kettle bar movement for 3 sets of 10. It has been the most relief I have felt in a long time with no discomfort or strange muscle movements.
So what kind of specialist does one need to go to conduct these tests and diagnose these tightness, stability, movement and/or shoulder or joint pain issues? Please someone answer. Thank you
You gotta train those stabilizer muscles your body is like a machine any part that is not developed well will have an impact on the rest of the other parts trying to work together
My god! I have the same problem. My left shoulder is upper team the right one. And I also have pain. I need to follow the recommended exercises. Please, share more content about this issue.
Thankfully, I've caught the onset of a future serious shoulder problem, but it was only thanks to a rehabilitation specialist telling me I had a stability issue in my right shoulder. So many shoulders issues are caused by this & could be rectified if people were more informed.
I had the same issue last year. One visit to the doc and one referral to the PT in my small rural community and they were able to diagnose the issue! But it took months of weekly PT sessions and deep tissue massages, plus daily exercises with surgical bands to improve. And a year later I still have to be conscious of my left scapula position. 20 docs and one session of a few exercises! This video must be a miracle!!! (I’m female, job includes Wildland Firefighting, and I’ve been doing push-ups incorrectly for 20 years, after learning quantity over quality in the Army 😬)
I'm facing the same problem. My left blade is moving excessively. Not able to do bench press, OHP. I'm trying this workout. I hope it fix my problem. I'll update once i feel any improvement.
As a PT, what matters is he got better with doing the exercises. I’m sure there is bias to “buy in” for this specific situation and I’m sure someone missed some things that could’ve helped this pt, there will always be greatness in each profession but that usually means there is the other side of that coin. It’s frustrating when people miss what mattered to this specific pt and it was to do those specific movements without pain regardless of who didn’t test things.
This is why I won't go to the doctor unless it's urgent care and things are serious. It's so expensive, and for what? For them to do absolutely nothing? If I'm gonna be sick or hurt either way, I'd rather not waste my money and time.
This is similar to an issue I've had for years. I finally stopped lifting and it's only gotten worse. Had multiple mris and nothing but my shoulder blade also just feels wrong. Docs say they don't see anything on mri and now I'm having nerve issues 😪. Definitely trying these! ❤
How can I have a consultation to explain my situation with my right shoulder UCSF, top orthopedics say surgery is the only way yo fix my shoulder. I’ll appreciate very much the opportunity to talk to a real expert, Ive been following your clips and your knowledge and science behind made me to look for an opportunity to talk to you. Please get back to me I still have dreams at sexy-six, 66, and want to be in good shape; cannot get great powerful core since my right shoulder stops me to extend my arm for the worm for example or cannot work nothing above my head, anyway please, get back to me. I need your expertise. Thank you for all your great job and wisdom is inspiring to watch your clips and gives tremendous hope to those like me, struggling with pain and feeling tired of the lack of alternatives the orthopedics offer, they love the knife😵💫Thank you again✊🏽🔥❤️
I have the same problem. Try to squeeze your shoulder blades back in front of a mirror to see if theyre even a few reps. it helps me. Also start with light weight with extra warm up
Hey doc, thanks for these videos. They have been extremely helpful in getting me back to the gym. Will it be possible for you to make a video on sumo squats if they are useful?
you should make a video or short about a bunch of workouts for warmup we can do to fix should pain. somethings we can do before the actual workout. i'd incorporate it daily
Unreal, I just did the lying on front and raise the arm and it immediately fixed my press up pain.😮 For context, I know I have shoulder pain and learnt a wider grip bench alleviates it. I decided to go heavy at narrow/mid grip width last week and my long term front delt sharp pain returned immediately. That rotation thing helped immediately
PLEASE REPLY FOR ONCE! How come you keep finding all these issues with these people but so many other doctors don’t? I have been to 8 different Physiotherapists and Osteotherapists and none of them managed to help me. I‘m sick and tired of not being able to do any sport and while paying thousands for no solution
Mobility: The ability to move freely and easily. Stability: The ability of the body to maintain postural equilibrium and support joints during movement.
Just because you can get to a certain point doesn't mean your body is prepared to stabilize it. I like to think about it this way mobility your range of motion, stability your range of motion without pain
I have exact same problem. Pressing vertically up results in pain across the bicep. I’ve been diagnosed with subacromial impingement but no exercises shared really work fully. It’s better but when I increase weight the pain is back. I’m going to try these and see if it helps. I’ve been doing the bottom up movement for some time now.
Question - how do you know the difference between excessive and limited movement in comparison if there’s still movement in both? What’s the range to look for?
I’m dealing with a torn labrum and it basically never heals and I still can’t lift overhead or bench, it’s been a nightmare not being able to put muscle on
Look into PRP!! I was in the same boat. I’ve had five PRP sessions from November 2023 thru May 2024… feel like my old self, finally, after 2.5 years of anguish. Really wish you the best! (Also check out infrared red light therapy, LLLT cold laser therapy, enhancing collagen production by cutting sugar and having bone broth + more protein, and sleep way more than you think you need as much as is feasible with your schedule). Best of luck!
I did the test laying on the ground and lifting my forearms off the ground and my left arm didn't even move! If I want this to improve is there any other exercises for this or will just doing this one be enough?
I tore my labrum at 21 or 22 and lost like 50% of my bench strength. Went from 315lb bench to like 185lb bench. My physical therapist struggled to diagnose my injury because I was “too strong” for her diagnostic tests. An athletes idea of strength and functionality and a doctors idea of strength and functionality are two different things.
So this works after one day? I’m not trying to be rude. I’m just wondering bc I am having the same issue and have not been able to workout for two months.
I wouldn’t say it’s pain, just discomfort, as if something is rubbing against the front of my shoulder, but only when performing a move like the shoulder press or chest press. It started just on my right but I’m feeling a little bit on the left now too.
