I’ve paid thousands over the years to sports physicians and chiropractors and stopped going years ago because I was never diagnosed correctly or they just gave me stretches that didn’t help with relief long term. Over the past 3 years I’ve been researching and changed my workout to mirror more of a athleticism and mobility style. Found so many imbalances and instability. You and some others are the most help I’ve ever gotten. Still got work to do but I’ve come a long way from suffering with pain everyday and working a hard labor job. Thanks ! You are helping !

Thank you Olu for showing that even the strongest men on the planet can have strength and stability issues that cause them pain. I’m just a regular guy and I friend nd my shoulders bind up from time to time. Sometimes it’s about stretching and sometimes it’s my weakness or neglect of the smaller muscles and movements.

I've been saving a ton of these shoulder videos you've made so I don't lose them! I play softball and haven't been able to throw a full strength for the past 3 or 4 seasons. I only feel pain when I throw. I can do any exercise at the gym pain free. I always thought my labrum on my throwing arm was torn again (I had it reattached in 2009). After going to my regular physio therapist I felt like there was nothing I could do without surgery. I tried a new therapist recently and they did some tests and came to the conclusion that it's a stability issue (much like this video and others you've made). Finally a proper diagnosis! Throwing at about 5 out of 10 force and I throw out my shoulder. I can manage 1-3 out of 10 with minimal pain. This is a little long winded but I'm really excited and motivated to work on my rotators in hopes to be able to throw hard again! All that's left is do not be lazy and do the work! Thanks for the awesome videos!

Oh yeah, and your little stretching idea does sound like a good one.

It needs a lot of patience people. A lot of work . I ve done now exercises for my mid back, rear delts, rotator cuff exercises for months .. it will help , but it takes time .. I’m not there yet but I have some improvement. I really want to get back to shoulder press and handstand push-ups.. im 50 so if you’re young recovery will go faster. Great band exercises And ‘not shrugging ‘ like he says is very important ! The explication of the stability is awesome !! 🙏💯👏

@KillianDefaoite Жыл бұрын

I have come to find out that this or other associated problems happen to basically anyone who trains heavy compound upper body movements. I RELIGIOUSLY train my upper back and posterior shoulder with face pulls, external rotations, rear delt flys, and cuban presses, and STILL have issues when it comes to imbalances in the strength of my anterior and posterior causing uneven tension at the shoulder. EVERYBODY needs to be extremely mindful of this issue because like it or not, it will probably happen to you if you are in the strength game.

Good stuff! Love how you break down the tests. So was he limited in the overhead test because of a restrction (tightness) or was it just pain/stability? I'm just wondering why it wasn't a shoulder capsule issue.

Dr. Aaron, I love your stuff! Question about joint mobilization/distraction techniques: are they a long term solution? My right ankle dorsiflexion is tighter than my left, and I feel that pinching sensation that the banded mobilization is meant to help. It does help, but only for about 45 minutes or so. A few minutes after my workout or mobility session, I can feel the same sensation all over again. Any suggestion for long-term fixes? Thanks!

@mayankshekhar1408 7 ай бұрын

Hi, Your videos have been really helpful in understanding the difference between strength, stability and mobility. I too have some restricted internal shoulder rotation but instead of feeling the pain in the back while doing these tests, I actually feel it directly behind my shoulder around the rotator cuff. This is limiting me to play better backhand shots in badminton. Can you please suggest exercise for it. Update Doing the exercise has helped me gain more range of motion but still feel tightness/pinching at the back of the shoulder

@SquatUniversity 2 жыл бұрын

If anyone feels worse after the exercises it means I either didnt do a proper evaluation to expose the exact things to work on OR i started them with an exercise that was too difficult and past their current capacity. Now physical therapy is just as much art is it is science, so a true rehab plan will have variations and fluctuations in exercise selection and difficulty to fit the individual at the time. There are many times when we need to pivot exercise selection as the person progresses.
