****UPDATED VIDEO WITH EXTREMELY HELPFUL EXTRA TECHNIQUE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLd6dtB3ptiqhmg.html I've discovered that releasing the small, superior portion of the the Pec Major, where it attaches directly onto the collar bone, helps AC joint problems enormously so check out the new video link!!

Incredible. The pec minor ball-release you advised immediately relieved the clicking and popping I've been struggling with for years. Thank you so much

I love how the camera on my phone finally watches me stretch a part of my body and suggest the appropriate video

I watched a lot of AC joint pain videos on KZfaq and this is one of the best! Thank you

Bro literally fixed my shoulder I love you

Wow, amazing! I've been dealing with neck, shoulder & collarbone pain & discomfort for 18 months. This video nailed my posture pitfalls & the exercises have had an immediate effect. Thanks for such clear & concise presentation too.

Perfectly diagnosed my shoulder pain that I used to get repeatedly while bench pressing with a barbell, your exercises also helped in reducing the swelling and haven't got the pain since then even after benching more than 80 kilos! Thank you, good content indeed.

I watched a lot of videos on how to recover my AC joint pain. This guy is the only one out of 10 videos that actually gets it

i just want to say that i love ur vids man ur a great person id comment that on every video my my shoulder hurts hah. plus i love that u throw in facts it helps with a credibility and you offer tips in the middle of the video so i can hear them while i try on the stretches and exercises.

OMG...I believe you may have hit on my trouble. I've been to an Ortho, and had p.t. and nobody ever mentioned this to me....just a pulled or strained sternocleidomastoid muscle! Nothing has helped me. I'm going to buy a tennis ball now and do all of these exercises! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!

Definitely will start these exercises! And avoid the really bend knee when sleeping. I always sleep like that.

You are absolutely great. I have tried this exercise and i am getting better. Now the pain has reduced. Thank you so much. I had tried so many other exercises but nothing worked

You put your finger exactly on my problem. All the causes of this problem that you mention are the ones I am guilty of. I feel very good now and trust that your recommendation will be right on the money for me and solve my AC joint pain problem. Thanks 2:54 3:29. sleeping position 4:02 4:40 5:20

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have been suffering with a painful ACJ for 4 months. It was originally misdiagnosed by a physio! She then gave me exercises which made it worse and delayed the healing process. A second and third opinion gave the diagnosis of sprained ACJ. I’m trying to avoid an injection so I will definitely try these techniques. Warm wishes, Sam !

I've found that using a percussion massage gun is a great way to release the SC joint (& thus help the AC joint in chronic cases), so if you want to do more, check out this video... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr-fisKa0d6oko0.html

It's incredible that I went to 3 different physiotherapists and they weren't able to identify what my problem is. They said 3 different things, from muscle damage to tendon inflammation... I've had AC joint pain for around 3 years at this point. It started very intense during a calisthenics workout, I couldn't work out for a few months afterwards. Then it became managable on its own, but never went away. Today I started digging into the anatomy of the shoulder and found out about the AC joint. I realized that is exactly where I feel the pain, which brings me to this video. Thank you for the content and the explanation, I hope this will help me finally get rid of my pain! Are AC joint issues rare, and/or hard to diagnose? I am wondering why I was misdiagnosed so many times. Did I do a poor job explaining where the pain is maybe?

Thanks for this and demonstrating the exercises so clearly. Also, thanks for not shouting at the viewer, some of the other videos on KZfaq are not watchable for me because the demonstrators, whilst knowledgeable, speak so fast and so loud. I recently hurt my hip and for about 3 weeks I could only turn over in bed by hoisting my body weight up with my arms straight, hands pressed into the mattress. Seems I've definitely strained my AC joints. Hip is great now, but shoulders very painful, hopefully to be rectified soon.

I play some mobile games on my bed while on my side and was starting to get AC Joint pain. The moment I did the initial sitting exercises I almost immediately felt a sense of relief, like something "released" in there. I used cross friction massage on that SC Joint in your second treatment instead of a tennis ball and that freed it up even more. Thank you so much. Very happy that it just takes simple stretches to clear this up.

This is a really important missing piece of my shoulder pain. Really can't thank you enough

Amazing !!!!!! I felt an instant relief from my AC joint pain right away. Honestly, the joy you get when your body feels relieved and without any pain can't be put into words. Thank you so so much.

Thank you good sir, I thought my problem couldn’t be fixed without surgery (or so I was told by an internet stranger) but I just did the first stretch and had immediate relief!

Excellent video. This helps tremendously. I especially appreciate the segment about sleeping positions

Imma try these ons out. I'll come back in a week to keep y'all updated!

i combined these exercises with some from a German video and they help. though I didn't understand the first stretch exercise. thank you

Very very helpful... I wish I saw it before!! Thank you so much and I wish everyone a quick and definitive heal !🙏

Have been searching for this type of information and this is the best video on the topic. Brilliant work

Thanks I got diagnosed with ac joint damage about a month or so ago after say 4/5 months of pain it doesn’t hurt to press only movements and lying on it was given exercises by physio but didnt do them will do these ones tho the pain doesn’t last as long as it did now but still getting everyday I do yoga which is meant to help shoulder pain thanks

I so happen to do a bunch of dips and rows early in the day and ended up napping on a not so comfy couch in the position you showed and I woke up with a lot of AC pain. This video verified my theory. Thanks for the stretches!

I have clavicle pain from sleeping. This is so helpful,

Amazingly simple and brilliant, thankyou, may GOD grant you abundance in all that is GOOD. Thankyou.

Great content thanks. 67yo Localised AC pain sudden onset while doing push-ups 8 mths ago and pain no better. xrays, doctors, physio, some widening but generally no idea, the physio told me I was too old and it will always be sore.

When you said you might hear a click in your SC joint, I heard 3 lol. It was a new move for me. Thanks for the vid!

Wow, it works, legs cross, and turned to look back, and the cracking sounds went down %80. Thank you

Thank you for the video. I have been having pain in my right shoulder since February 2021. Will start the exercises. God bless you!

Excellent way of explaining this painful situation. I'll put this in practice and let you know. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge and have a nice day.

I have issues with c5'6 and c6,7 Mild disc buldge And Clavicle and scapula issue Same as your are giving tips and excercise for that point.

Very Professional and easy explained. Thank you for this!

I'm having this joint separation for 5 months , I'm gonna try these exercises, thanks

been struggling fully recovering from my AC joint seperation in January. Hopefully doing some of the SC mobility may help reduce the movement of my AC joint. Thanks a lot!

this is perfect! my new favorite chanel

Sitting legs crossed is going to set yourself up later for knee pain and problems. Thanks for the great info. This is needed to supplement the other info out there. Sleeping with my shoulder scrunched for years, did this joint in.

Thank you for sharing this information with me on fixing Ac joint 🙌 👌 🙏

The overlays of the muscles amd bones are awesome

Thankyou for your video. That made the process completely clear and easy

Very helpful and clearly demonstrated exercises thank you !

Really I check so many videos related ac and sc pain but really this is the best video 👍

very useful,clear and thorough video! thank you Stefan!

Thank you i really appreciate the video. I searched for answers to this pain i have after tricep dips yesterday. Thank you

Man thanks very much i always thought my SC joint must have problem but never gave and attention and it always cracks. My sleeping postion is bad and my pac minor is also tight. Best video on this topic.

Fantastic video! Thank you for caring and sharing. I sure hope these techniques help with my issue. Great info!

So amazing these videos, and have helped me immensely. I play guitar so get shoulder strains like this. Thanks Doc!

Great stretch

I have had 3 failed ACJ Reconstruction [modified weaver dunn] and this has given me immense relief - thank you so much. If I could make a request: could you please make a video (or advice) for ACJ strain while sitting and typing? Thank you, Stefan.

Wow.thanks for video,i think i tore mine in the gym doing shoulder shrugs to heavy of weight

Thank you for this video. Currently taking notes. 2 years ago, I was doing dips and went too deep ROM and I am still dealing with it. The tenderness on the AC joint went away, but it seems to still be hypermobile and get flared up quite easily if I do too many push ups - very frustrating. I suspect for a chronic injury like this there are some structural issues causing constant aggravation like a bound up SC joint. I will try these release techniques. Thank you for this video.

Thank you am suffering since two months really painful.

Great explanations and demonstrations. My AC soreness isn't really chronic - I just seem to aggravate it a lot. At work, I lift heavy bags full of mail parcels, for hours per day. I have to lift them high enough to throw them into a big, cubic box about waist high. Sometimes I'll end up lifting _two, three, or four_ bags (bags in each arm) because we're trying to get done quickly. My muscles are apparently (barely) strong enough to do this, but if I do it too aggressively, my AC joint can become inflamed for a few days. Right under the skin, on the bony top of the AC, sore to the touch, or when simply raising my arm. This happened just yesterday. I'm thinking I need to strengthen all of the involved muscles and use better (more controlled) technique, along with doing the exercises and movements you've demonstrated. Also, in the meantime before I go back to work tomorrow night, I'm going to be taking some anti-inflammatories. Not sure whether you'd recommend heating or icing the AC at this point... Cheers!

Injured mine bench pressing. Its been like 6 months and there is no pain throughout day... but once i load weight i notice the pain. Seems like it will go on forever. Ive probably watched every youtube video on this so far. Ive honestly given up now i just run for my workouts. Thanks for these tips though!

Perfect video..,👌👌👍😊thankew so much for making this vdo

Fantastic video and expertise. Noticed reduction in pain immediately. Thank you!

LMT with ac joint separation/inflammation. Great video. Subscribed.

Thankyou ! I’m struggling bad at the moment . Pain is terrible

This helped me a lot! Thank you so much!

That work out is good.

So I’m really glad I found the chiropractor open on Sunday because apparently I had a rib out of place under my scapula

Fantastic video! Very well put together. Thank you my friend.

Thank you so much doctor !u helped me out with ur video🔥♥️ may god bless you

Thank you very much!

This is so effective

gracias doctor por su trabajo!

Very clear instructions and so helpful! thank you! Also the video in your link highly recommended in concert with this one, thanks for that too.

Great video - best I’ve seen on the topic.

Really appreciate the video, I've been struggling with this shoulder and lat pain for over a year now. I'm going to start incorporating these recommendations into my routine. Has anyone also experienced elbow pain along with AC joint issues? My inner elbow has also been an issue over this time, same side as shoulder. Thoughts?

Excellent Video Sir!!! Thank you very much, made a great difference 👍

Great video. thank you

Thank you!

Thank you Sir

I had a trauma on AC joint (both swelling and pain), but after one year its still not perfect ... but thats a long story. Before that I did martial arts and lot of handstands - including standing on only one hand. Is it possible that handstand prepared AC joint defect? I never mobilized SC joint... Good to know that. :) Thank you for the exercises.

Thanks doc

Thanks so much. I've hurt mine twice carrying heavy decking timber or pavers in the garden.

I really like your videos. Your demonstrations are amazing and clear. I have been learning a lot from you. Could you please made a video of the sciatica pain exercises. Many thanks

I have pain in my ac joint, making me unable to lift heavy weights, this came after weeks of feeling like wanting to pop my clavicle. I hope I can get better as soon as possible .

I really like your videos and I will try all of your suggestions! I do not feel any stretch with the ac joint stretch though, any tips?

Thank you

Thanks Doc. I've been fighting pain for almost 2 years now. It's from me side sleeping :(

Superb sir👍

Thank you so much for this!! Such helpful information.

Going to give this a try, I hurt my left shoulder lifting at work 11 months ago. Started to do physio every week. I was not getting any better so I had to get a steroid shot which helped somewhat. hoping this helps me out.

Thanks, great video

Thank you for your detailed exercises. I was in a car accident over a decade ago where I slammed into the door of the car at approx. 40mph this caused what I was told was a SLAP injury. I was told that I would need surgery to cut the tendons on top of my shoulder so the clavicle would lower back down and heal. I opted not to do this and just mitigated my injury. Now that I am getting older (50) I am loosing nobility. Is there shoulder manipulation therapies to bring the clavicle down to its proper position. Thanks

Rich content. Thank You!

Excellent crystal clearly explained content !!❤❤❤

Thank you for this!

Thank you for this video

Brilliant, thank you.

Can a tight/locked SC joint become swollen if left? Thanks for all you do!

Thank you.

Will the bone thats sticking up go back down again to look normal in a few weeks without exercise/rest? Or does that never go back down without surgery?

I have some ac seperation mostly because of pushups and working out, I have tried many things like strengthening my rotator cuff and these exercises too. They help but I really want a permanent solution to this problem. My shoulder doesn't really have much pain but it makes a lot of popping sounds, and the joint feels weak I can tell that if I do something which puts too much strain I can hurt my joint. This had been going on for around a year now also I am 17, so I am hoping that I can fully heal my joint.

i have biceps tendonits in lower elbow side which exercise will help me ?
