I can't thank you enough for this video. In October, an orthopod diagnosed me with a small rotator tear "typical for your age." His only advice was to "keep moving it, all the time, so it doesn't freeze." After two months of haplessly flapping my arm around and getting worse, I found this video. I had some relief after doing it just once and now, after a month, I'm almost completely pain free. Again, thank you.

Hi Dr. Jo! My shoulder really started bothering me right around when Coronavirus started going, and I couldn't make it to my PT appointment. It was getting worse, but I didn't want to risk my life setting foot in a hospital for a shoulder owie. I finally googled and found you, and beginning to feel better slowly already! Your videos strike the right balance of being informative, fun, short, and the tone is perfect and approachable. Thanks so much for helping me stay safer at home -- and with less pain!

Hi DoctorJo, I am a pretty active middle-aged man. I have caused some discomfort in my shoulder (quite severe at times) which was initially caused when bench pressing before lockdown. I am still doing lots of exercise but it does reach a point where it becomes too painful to carry on sometimes. I have done these sets of exercises twice now. Really all I can say is thank you 😊. It has helped tremendously (first nights sleep without shoulder pain in over a month now). I will continue to do them so I can hopefully get back to an injury free shoulder. Thank you once again. Now all I need to do is get my Achilles sorted😆

Several months ago I broke me arm in two places and was immobilized for 3 months. There was non-union of one the fracture so I ended up needing surgery. In total, my arm and shoulder were immobilized for a total of 6 months. Then I couldn’t move my shoulder! My OT/PT therapist focused on my wrist and hand only. So I performed these shoulder exercises exactly as performed by Dr. Jo. Within only 4 months of doing them daily, I regained complete shoulder movement and strength! I no longer need a towel for the back stretch, I can touch the fingers with both hands!

You are terrific. These stretches have restored both rotator cuff tear and frozen shoulder to a less painful, more range-of-motion. There are so many 'doctors' with so many different techniques. I tried physical therapy and boy, they think Hercules is their patient. Even my orthopedist thought I should use dumbbells. It seemed wrong, wrong, wrong. How can you actively engage sprains and tears with active exercises. It seems like 'duh' not to push so hard already injured joints and muscles. I do your exercises with a cane, climb the walls(not using the bulbous activity ball) and I am almost pain free. A plus is your demeanor, your personality, the ease you can communicate. Wish you were my doctor. Thx Robert

I have had rotator cuff pain since the corona virus hit and consequently, I checked out your video. I decided to try one stretch to see if it helped. I chose the corner stretch. It helped relieve a ton of pain in just 3 sets of 30 seconds over a four hour period of time. This morning, I decided to try all ten. The towel is the most difficult. I wonder if my rotator cuff pain is due to a ac joint separation when I was 20 and lack of stretching. I am definitely going to keep using your stretches as I have been released from constant daily pain. I appreciate your insight and style. Thank you so much!

The internal rotation with a towel is actually a close representation to how my rotator cuffs got injured. When me and my older brother where younger we fought all the time and one of the things he always did to make me stop bugging him or just because he wanted to hurt me was to yank my arm into a chicken wing and pull up on it. When my mom took me to the doctor because I couldn't move my shoulders the doctor had told us that surgery would be the only real way to help me. We can't afford surgery sadly. After a couple years of not having any pain in my shoulders and perfect mobility of them the pain started back in. Since then it will be fine but still slightly stiff off an one. Recently as in the last 2 months I don't have good mobility of my right shoulder. Is hurts to the point of tears to move it. I'm looking forward to trying these stretches and exercises to hopefully make improvement on both my shoulders but mostly my right shoulder 🥰

A few years ago my husband severely damaged his rotator and didn’t know what had happened and he ended up with a frozen shoulder. I helped him with PT for 12 weeks (plus going to a physical therapist). It was excruciating!! And I don’t want to follow in his footsteps😉

Hi Dr Jo, thanks so much for these exercises. One thing I’m not to clear on is the 30 second thing. Do I need to: a) Do the stretch and hold in the stretch position for 30 seconds, or b) stretch and return and then repeat for 30 seconds? Hope this makes sense. In the video you do each move several times which is making me favour “b)” but I’d appreciate your confirmation. Thanks again! 🧘🍾❤️

You're welcome. Holding the stretch for 30 seconds. I usually don't do the full hold unless it's a realtime/follow along video because doing the whole routine usually makes for a long video (which some people don't like).

Thanks for these exercises, I have just started to do them. You say to hold for 30 seconds, but some of these exercises seem to be repetive, and not a hold. Exercises 3,4,5,6 and 8 seem like you should be repeating the motion and not a hold, or am I misunderstanding?

You can do either for some of those. You can do a full 30 second hold, or just a brief 3-5 second hold when you get to your pain free end range. It really depends on exactly what your injury is and how long you've had it.

Hi Dr. Jo hoping for your response. I had a slight shoulder pain and i dont know if its a tear or tendinitis or whatsoever for already a year. But thankfully, i can still lift some weights and perform some exercises as i usually goes at the gym. My question is can i do these stretches while i also do some gym exercises? Thanks

Thank you. I just went to the hospital this week because I developed a really bad pain in my upper left arm I just couldn't take it anymore. Anyway, it turned out to be my rotator cuff. What makes it even worst is that I'm left handed.

Great exercises! I was only feeling a stretch in the last four exercises, so I may just stick with those. Thanks!

I was just diagnosed with mild arthritis in my right shoulder. Super tight and mobility is limited. I started doing these stretches and have already noticed some improvement. Should I do these once a day? Should I ice my shoulder after the stretches? Thanks so much Dr. Joe

Glad they are helping. Therapeutic exercises can be done every day, 1-3 times a day. Icing afterwards can help if the area feels slightly swollen, sore, or hot after stretches and exercises.
