Thanks for watching everyone! I recommend trying these exercises for 2-3 sets of 5 slow breath cycles each. If you want to learn more, here is an in-depth video on shoulder health: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IDGdJIHSsK0.html Also, here is the link to my Shoulder Health Program: www.conorharris.com/shoulder-health-program And here is a link to my Beginner Body Restoration Program: www.conorharris.com/beginner-body-restoration
Dear Conor, would love to see your preferred exercises for pain at back side of the shoulder. (rear delt). Hope you will do an video on that issue in the future. Thank you for all of your videos and your help.
Hi Conor, Up until about 8 months ago I was in fairly active state, running and then I started to get plantar fasciitis in right foot and some tenderness in top right ankle. I had PF before but this time it didn’t seem to work it’s way out so went to Ortho Doc, took XRay and said “ nothing broken” and diagnosed as Tendinitis with PT. It took awhile but this eventually resolved…however, these symptoms moved to left ankle and leg - intermittent electrifying pains in left ankle and calf seems worse lying down and so bad that we did MRI foot and ankle which was fairly unremarkable and showed some peroneal tendinitis and again PT but not getting better and pain seems to be worse and is now including foot, calf, thigh and buttocks ? My primary Doc has no idea and I am going to see another Doc this week for another evaluation. Have you guys gotten MRIs to confirm your issues? I am considering am MRI left foot, leg and buttocks area to see if we can figure out what is going on- is it sciatica with peroneal or ?? This is painful, can’t walk and looking for resolution or is it degenerative disease or?
Instant relief! I've been suffering from shoulder pain for 2 years, and this morning I came across this exact video. I still can't believe the pain is gone. I will gladly repeat these exercises for a while. Thank you so much !
I have been diagnosed with biceps tendinitis..didn’t know I could not internally rotate my shoulder at all until just now watching this and doing the test..will definitely be doing these movements and hoping for improvement.. thanks
Thank you SO MUCH for this in depth explanation and helpful exercises! I've been suffering with shoulder issues on my left for probably 1.5 years or more. I have a 2 year old, so likely from carrying him and maybe poor posture while pumping. I'm really looking forward to relief. I was a massage therapist, so I was working my deltoid and rhombus and subscap because that's where it hurts, and totally missing the pecs. I noticed tonight though that I had some pain there, then I watched your video and it totally made sense. Going to strip those ribs and work the pecs then work the deltoid, then hopefully start exercises tomorrow. THANK YOU!
Wait so the first exercise he was stretching the right shoulder so I’m assuming that’s the painful one, then next exercise the right arm lays flat on the ground? I get this might just be an example but shouldn’t the weight be in the right arm ?
Hi Conor, thank you so much for all this information, I think you’re making a huge difference to many people (definitely for me!) Question, the breathing techniques you show almost magically open up the chest, but once that’s done, are there muscles in the back which have been overstretched which can help keep the ribcage open if they are strengthened? Thanks again, this is gold!
I am stuck in this rounded shoulder position and it is pinching. You give me hope to improve as I did with my hip ER. It got way too better just by breathing.
I m suffering by low back pain one side scapular pain and asymmetrical body due to lifting heavy load by twisting back ..àlso one side groin pain .uneven pelvic .your videos are helpfull also give sume suggestions 🙏
Im confused. Nearly everybody says building strength in external rotation is the key to solve problems like shoulder impingement (among pec stretching etc) ?
This is not about "impingement", but front of shoulder pain. The exercise seeks to reposition the top of humerus in the socket. Either way, decompressing the front chain will help with impingement, also the dumbell exercise pivoting the scapula (what he refers to as supination) will help with mobilising the scapula. What is done here is strengthening of the subscap. A strong subscap will not cause impingement.
I guess this can affect "grip"(hand rotation?) and forearm rotation aswell? I have a left shoulder issue for years, now just testing my internal rotation is way off. Maybe you can make a video on this? In the gym I have the feeling that im constantly having to re-adjust my grip on the left hand, like I can't hold dumbbells like my right hand through the motion of a dumbbell press and cant supinate/pronate during curls or triceps extension to feel peak contractions.. And my left shoulder just feels tired in a weird way after a set, never really the muscles im targetting (which i feel on the right side). My guess is my shoulder is trying to compensate so hard for the lack of internal rotation(stability) that it just crashes.
Hi Conor, is it worthwhile to do these shoulder movements if you're in tertiary or secondary levels of compensation as far as the rest of your body's concerned?
I wonder if that would help my front right shoulder pain, which appeared some time after I started working at the desk, clicking the mouse 8h a day with my right arm reached out. Few months of such work I've noticed some pain while serving a ball in my volley practise and some time later I couldn't even serve with my hand up, only down because it hurt so bad. I could only feel it while serving or attacking, so finally I stopped practising. But I'll try this, maybe it will help me ^^ Thanks!
Hi Conor i am feeling pain in the Anterior Right Shoulder. The 1st exercise you told gives some relief. But in 2nd do we need to lift the Right or Left hand. Thanks
I'm a little confused. If we trying to improve internal rotation of the shoulder, then why would we be stretching the lats which are an internal rotator?
Hello, thx for the video. I have this problem on my right side. My left side is already overcompressed from psoas, flank, chest and a pelvic upslip tendency left. The right thorax is the one actually still moving with my breath. Is there an overlaying pattern?
