Eccentric Strengthening for "Rotator Cuff Tendinosis" (Shoulder Pain) 

I watched the video (audio off) so maybe you explained it, but I'm seeing mostly the concentric phase, but the description is "eccentric." I'm less a fan of concentric exercises but a pretty big proponent of eccentric and its ability to stimulate granulation tissue.

Thanks man, your awesome for freely sharing this. Thanks for helping us

I broke a collar bone over 3 years ago. Mistake one. A year later had the hardware taken out but the surgeon talked me into a mumford procedure. Bigger mistake. I've had this constant numbing or tight feeling around the AC joint. If I mountain bike the numbness goes across the shoulder into by neck and jaw. Even hiking aggravates it. Tried PT, every pill imaginable, cortisone shot and a nerve block. All did nothing. Finally got a doctor refer me for another MRI. Results were moderate supraspinatus/subscapularis tendonosis. Had a MRI about five months after first surgery and it was interpreted as frozen shoulder with mild tendinosis. The only thing that helps is a hot shower, shoulder brace and when I lie down to sleep. Ice helps too but I think it's more of the weight on the shoulder helping. As soon as I'm upright the discomfort starts. Can the tendinosis present that way? My range of motion is fine and I can perform all those physical tests fine so it's quite the mystery. Sorry so long but the only time I've been pain free is the two weeks with a broken clavicle. The break didn't hurt nor the aftermath until I had surgery.

Really appreciate your explanation and professionalism.

Thanks so much for posting this video. Also, please know that your explanations are so helpful.

Thank you so much! Very well executed and explained. I appreciate you!

Hello, thanks for this exercise! I'm gonna try it after an injury I got at playing badminton. I was thinking about balance and was wondering if I should do it on both arms or only the arms I'm injured? Thanks.

Great material! Thank you so much. Will be doing this exactly.

Thank you very much, this was much needed.

Great explanation and clear instructions

TY

Do you have something for subscapularis tendinosis ?

Great help Dr. Gordon. Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you.☺

Muchísimas gracias por la ayuda ☺️

Thank you for the video, i am diagnosed with Mild Supraspinatus Tendinosis today, will start working out on this.

Hello Sir I am 24yrs old I was detected in MRI with 'mild distal Supraspinatus tendinosis' on left shoulder. Also, the MRI report stated that I have Acromion type 2 bone. Doctor gave me steroid injection and advised not to overhead exercise again for lifetime. Is it that I should not take my arm above 90°? and is the tendinosis reversible? Is Acromion type 2 really such an issue? and would it mean that I should avoid doing overhead exercises for lifetime? please help! Thanks!

I was just diagnosed with mild tendinosis in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Does that cause popping

Hi Gordon,if i do this exercise and i feel a bit of pain or discomfort,should i continue or rest my shoulder more?thanks for sharing

Hey Gordon how can I contact you. How can I consult with you ? looking for your reply....

This exercise is infraspinatus dominant, so if you have supraspinatus tendinosis will this help? The supraspinatus is abd of the shoulder, if you pinch the towell against you, this will shoot down the supraspinatus.

The pain became worse after doing this. Is that normal?

Would that help with subscapularis issues?

I have a question please, can be Rotator Cuff Tendinosis associated with Thoracic Outlet syndrome? thanks

What is this exercise called?

In the most recent video of yours, You've said start from Isometric and then to concentric and then level up to eccentric. Can you rephrase it. ?

What are the other eccentric exercises for supraspinatus tendinosis. And Can I directly start from eccentric exercise or I should first do isometric then concentric and then eccentric ?

Surely this is for infra not supra?

Is this for supraspinatus and subscapularis tendinopathy?I got diagnosed with those after an mri in November,but wasnt really given any physical therapy.I want to eventually get back into weightlifting but the pain/discomfort I feel most is at the front of the shoulder,where I guess the supraspinatus wraps to.I also got diagnosed with a type 2 acroniom

Sir I hve bursitis n mild tendinoisis. After cortisone injection. Discomfort is still there. After 1 month. Will such physio excercise help or make my tendon damage more severe. Wht should I do.

That's no eccentric training, just a focus on the negativ movement aspect...
