Your channel is always the first stop for me when I need PT/OT help. You guys are good, thank you!

You guys are wonderful for offering help to people with these great videos. Thanks!

WOW! Thank you guys! I've been having shoulder pain for the past couple of weeks and no stretches I've done have helped. I will try these exercises out :)

Very nice, amazing!!! I can feel the benefits doing those exercises; Thanks again Bob and Brad; Much appreciated!!!

Informative and entertaining as always, thank you!

Crazy good. I just did the hand on table walk back and instantaneous relief. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice. I’m definitely going to try these. Definitely looking for relief. This is very much appreciated. Something I can do

Thanks! I can do these three exercises and heal my shoulder. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Everytime i have a problem you 2 always solve it amazingly. Thanks so much God bless 💞

You guys are fantastic. Thanks for the video.

You guys are great men for helping so many people. Thank You and God Bless

thanks very much! these were great exercises, and greatly helped my shoulder.

The shoulder squeeze has helped me a lot. Thank you thank you thank you. Pain has become only minor discomfort. Great improvement!

I have been dealing with shoulder problems for 20 years and now have had 2 x Total Shoulder Replacement surgeries. These guys are the best I have seen online and the most helpful in freeing a frozen shoulder which can be very painful. Thank you!

I do not have words to express you all my gratitude; I was suffering too much and the pain was reaching my hand and my fingers; In just a few days I feel so much better; My physiotherapist never mentioned those excersices to me; Thanks again!!!

Thanks again Brothers

THANK YOU for making these videos, not everyone can afford a PT. Excellent advice, the first one is a strengthening exercise for back and shoulders also. I couldn't move my arm even half inch in any direction. Lost 2 weeks work. I did these as much and as far as my shoulder would allow me and ice and heat and ice ...over and over again. I couldn't take ibuprofen, I used topical arnica gel for inflammation. Also want to say ...just because it feels better don't get overconfident ...keep doing these because 1 false move and it could be worse, talking from experience here not a doctor. You guys are funny also js.

I was suffering from shoulder pain that radiated down my arm to elbow and across to my shoulder blade for 4 months. I wasn't able to sleep at night due to the burning in my shoulder. I saw 3 different specialists who diagnosed me with shoulder bursitis and tendonitis and one even thought it was a pinched nerve. I tried physical therapy but they made the pain worse. I finally came across this video and faithfully did the exercises every other day for a month. The pain is gone! I still have to be careful with it and can't vacuum, etc. but the daily pain and burning is gone. Thank you for making these videos!

you guys are great. thanks!

Helped a lot. Thanks guys!

Thank you gentlemen 👍🏼👌🏼😉

Awesome videos! Thanks!

These are good exercises. I have also found that laying on my back and also on my stomach in a "hands up" position helps to stretch the shoulder. It was incredibly painful at first, but the longer I did it the shoulder pain got better.

Haha you guys are an adorable duo! Thanks for the tips! Just got this flared up the last few weeks for the first time in my life and I am a very active person and a busy mom of young kids needing relief ASAP! I will implement these and see how I do! Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise :)

You guys are the Best!!!! Thanks for your help

My wife is a super big fan of yours. I have had a flare-up a couple weeks ago after some yard work. She said you guys had the answer.

Starting this today! Thank you!

Really glad this actually was just 3 simple exercises and not '3 exercises you can do with a home gym and 4 health specialists on-call'

You are A team. Simply excellent. Thanks

Wow, It really works! Thanks soo much.

thank u so much bob and brad sir

Great video thx for sharing

This is excellent information. Very helpful. Thank You !

Thank you! Great exercises!

oh my thank you I just realized I'm sitting at my desk for days on end, hunched over, causing my shoulder, impingement and even though I'm stretching, I'm not stretching near enough not even close nor strengthening the opposing muscles. Thank you Bob and Brad again for all your work. God bless you both.

Thank you both

Thank you!! My shoulder pain is nearly gone after doing these exercises for just a couple of days. Thank you.

Good advice given in a down-to-earth manner. :-)

Thanks for the video. I really need to do more of these 3 exercises as I have popping and cracking noises coming from my shoulders when I rotate them after having completed a year of padwork at Muay Thai classes.

Thank you

thankyou guys for the helpful tips. have had bursitis for some time now and i really find relief in these stretches

Thank you.

Thanks.. Its really effective ❤️✌️

Funny & informative. Thank you

Dudes. These three exercises just changed my life, immediately.

great video!

You Guys are amazing

Thank-you

Great video. I saw my physician and he diagnosed me with subacromial and deltoid bursitis. I think they're helping! Will the exercises in this video also help with the area between the bicep and shoulder (above the armpit area)? Or are there different exercises for this area?

Love ,love, love you

Thanks

Hello and congratulations on your excellent work and help! Thank you! Could you please tell me if ice therapy would help for shoulder bursitis after these exercises?

I did these for one day and got instant relief!

I love you guys.

For about the past month and a half I have been having shoulder pain. I lift weights 5 days a week and do push/pull/rest split. Ive been having pain in any kind of shoulder press or chest press exercise. The pain is coming from the top of my shoulder, almost near my trap. I do have rounded shoulders(I will fix that now), and when I shrug my shoulder forward I feel sharp pain. I have no pain when doing delt flys, or anything like you did with the green dumbell in the vid. Hopefully fixing my posture will solve my problem. Thanks for the video.

Is it possible for shoulder bursitis to start around the elbow? That's seems to be where it hurt the most when this started, but now it's my whole arm. Been feeling like this for about a month. Thanks guys :-)

Hard to believe, but those little exercises made a substantial improvement in my bursitis pain!!! The pain had been getting worse every day and my range of motion smaller and smaller and I was in a lot of pain. I did these 3 exercises, and the sharp pain disappeared. There is still significant pain, but it is now tolerable as long as I am careful - and my range of motion has increased by about 30%. Before, but buckling my seat belt was really difficult, now it is okay as long as I move slowly. Amazing, thanks so much, guys :)

Thoracic mobilization is crucial. If the thoracic spine is tight you will be internally rotating at the shoulders ie out of alignment so will have impingment issues.

Thank you for your quick response. I've had bursitis for almost a year, which of ice, heat or massage would be most beneficial? Also why is it that unless I'm stretching or exercising that my shoulders hurt? It's like unless there is constant blood supply they seize up. Lastly are there any weight training exercises that help shoulder bursitis, I try chin ups but it results in great pain, I use to do dozens of them a workout before the bursitis. Thank you for all your videos from your latest subscriber.

I am a software engineer from India. Thanks for the exercises. It helped me a lot. I have a question. Why my right shoulder clicks and I have problem in rotating it and touching my back. While with left shoulder I can do it easily. I have seen many docs did xrays but didn't find solution. Pain goes away and comes back after few months

Thank you so much for this. I've been I'm absolute agony with my shoulder for months, and just this wk diagnosed with bursitis. I can barely move my arm and the pain during the night has been horrendous. I did the first exercise in this video, as atm I'm unable to do the others.,but I already feel a huge difference. It was almost instant. I'm still unable to use my arm due to pain and weakness, but any relief is so so very much appreciated ❤️ Thank you

Please show us some safe shoulder strengthening exercises. Is there a safe way to to military press?

i got into an alectrical apprenticeship last year at age 34 and wrecked my shoulder after 9 hours of pulling pallets one day. my recovery plateaued and im scared ill ive with this pain for the rest of my life and that it will cost me my career and my future in the trade. the doctor my work sent me too never even diagnosed me and gave me one unhelpful exercise. Im going to try the exercises in this video, and the comments give me some faith. also you guys have hilarious rapport; im reminded a bit of the old radio show car talk or something

I am tempted to try these exercises. Does shoulder bursitis also include having a tingling sensation in the hands?

Thank you so much l have trouble with my shoulder same problem driving me crazy cortisone injection didn't work u have given me hope with triplets l Carnt be like this 😁

That intro song immediately won me over

Hello Bob and Brad! :) You are really the best PT on internet, with very helpful advices. I came across your channel spontaneously, when I searched for useful exercises and stretches for my friend who has problem with her shoulders. It all started as a result of an accident of bad stretching her left shoulder. Before 2 years, she was diagnosed with calcification in that shoulder, and now it seems the same is happening with other shoulder, too. Left is ok now, and because of frozen shoulder syndrom she start with exercises and with small steps there is a great progress in mobility. Also, every day I massaging all tendor spots. Her other, right shoulder, hurts at that bursa spot, on touch or move. She can't sleep at night because of that. Before a few days she could do some exercises.. We will try for these, I really hope it will help. Maybe there is also a problem with bicep. Do you recommend any covering, heat or cold? Cross your fingers for her, I want to help as soon as possible to release that awful pain. Thank You soo much! Many regards from Croatia, M&D!

Hi gentleman! Just got diagnosed with this by an orthopedic surgeon. In addition to these daily exercises, what all movements in the gym should I avoid? It seems any overhead presses and normal bench presses irritate it. Can I still do other upper body movements while healing?

Silly question: Can the pushing down on the counter exercise be done with both arms at the same time without losing it's effectiveness? Thanks!

U guys are funny but informative

Can you please add elastic band exercises to this video? They are very affordable on those auction sites.

Going to do those exercises as I get a horrible burn pain between my shoulder blades. probably left over from all the computer work I did before I retired.

Thanks for your wishes but you may have missed my question, in particular given that I've had the bursitis for a while, which of heat or ice would help with recovery? Also the exercises are great but once my shoulders are inactive as when I'm asleep or sitting for a while and then try and lift my arms above my shoulders I feel sharp pain.

enjoy you guys -my shoulders hurt like heck should we do these for a shoulder tears???? just had 2 cortesone shots in bothshoulders but did not help- any help at all= as I waited for years and do not think I could even do surgery anymore?/ thanks M

Hi. Can I do the second exercise with my elbow slightly bent? I get pain in the elbow otherwise.

Any idea how long doing these exercises might take to work? I know there's no answer, but would love to know if after a week or a month and it hasn't improved that this hasn't. i.e. general range

Would it be effective to do this first exercise while walking, because I have a big forward lean. Thanks

Thank you for this! After several years of pain, I have finally found a combination of a low-dose anti-inflammatory medicine and your exercise suggestions have made a significant difference in my pain levels. I'm hoping that within the next few months, I'll finally be pain free!! I can't begin to express how grateful I am! Much love to you guys!!
