Retired 60 yo firefighter paramedic spent the majority of that time as a wanna be bodybuilder. At age 40 did 7 years of kick boxing. Age 55 started jujitsu. At 58 & 60 bilateral complete supraspinatus tendon tears. First surgery I was Back on mat in 3 month however, second surgery I’m 4 months post surgery and unable to do a single push-up. I’ve watched countless shoulder videos and been through months of professional PT. This is 1 of the most comprehensive shoulder rehab videos I’ve come across. Be patient but most of all be David goggins dedicated to rehab daily. Daily !!!
Good morning Doctor, I am from India & I had a bad fall in the kitchen. Thank you so much doctor for these exercises really helped me to reduce my pain & posture. Thanks a lot, God bless you.
Thank you Dr Boes for providing us with such useful rehabilitation sessions. I started phase 1 and I am now doing phase 4 after a massive rotator cuff tear the end of March. Your videos are the BEST so far online. Thank you! Camille A. From California
If your Dr has cleared U U can be more aggressive with your stretches. Your physical therapist should have already been doing this. Unless your Dr. says u not ready
@@ClayLud I'm about 22 weeks post 6 week total immobilization in a sling which is what I opted for over surgery as natural healing has better outcome than surgery most often. I too am very stiff still but still working at these therapy phase 1-4 videos in this playlist for about 20 min a day and seeing gradual improvements since day one. I think I could have progressed faster if I were willing to do a few hours a day but I got other stuff to do and don't mind a slower recovery. Better slow and steady than fast and risk reinjuring it!
artbyrobot I do not believe this is true for massive retracted tears. Those can cause major issues if not surgically repaired. Minor or small tears yes, conservative measures are appropriate.
I’m 11 months post op on my second surgery still having an issue with one spot. 1st shoulder wasn’t nearly as bad as this one. It depends on how bad your rotator cuff was and how much repair had to be done.
I'm a physical therapist and I do appreciate this video, but some of the excercises are, by no means, intended for phase two! Patients are being confused and not satisfied with their results if they see what they "are supposed to be able to do" at this point. Please, edit some of the excercises out.
