nice video doc. I have pain at 180 degrees pointing the hand upwards at sky. what could be the syndrome. i’ve got this injury while throwing a cricket ball. almost ten years now and the pain appears again whenever i throw again. please help me out.

rule #1 when raising your arm. . .thumb UP towards ceiling, everyone will have limited range of motion and/or pain with your thumb pointed forward.

Absolutely briliiant video that describes my shoulder impingment to a tee!

I wish you were my doctor! My impingement has been bothering me for almost a year now.

Great video Dr Mike!!! You must have been an athlete at some point in time!

Hey, Mike. Nice video. Just found your website. Looks great. Just thought I’d add to the discussion. If we find a patient with true impingement, strengthening the internal and external rotators and the scapular stabilizers will most likely be part of our exercise prescription. But, don’t miss out on addressing thoracic and cervical spine mobility. Limited range of motion will disrupt scapulohumeral rhythym and lead to impingement. Also, address overall tissue quality

Wow! This is a very helpful video! Easy to understand , no freaky doctor’s talk

Very helpful video, thanks Dr. Mike

The one thing I am not sure about is the three types of exercises he mentions, when there’s truly an impingement syndrome – “The pendulum exercise to open up the subacromial space, internal/external rotation, and development of the posterior shoulder girdle.”
Am I hearing this right? Thanks in advance

Good video; very imformative. Do you do isometrics with impingments? I’ve noticed a lot are due to spurs on the inferior aspect of the acromion. Do the stabilization exercises help to avoid most surgeries or do you usely see people requiring surgery?

Great job. Very helpful information. Thanks!

Damn she’s gunned

i have shoulder impingement syndrome (tendonitis i hope these are the same) in both shoulders, i was wondering if anyone here could tell me what possibly could have caused this in the first place, i used to weight lift (curls, inv curls, shoulder press, dead lift) would it have been bad technique? if so what sort of exercise would i have been doing to cause this so i can avoid this reoccuring in future?

great presentation
u helped me alot
thank you

very well explained…

Good presentation, this guy knows his stuff.

#3: “Strengthening the posterior shoulder girdle.” I.e. rear delts, etc.

Hey Michael,

Great to find you on YouTube! Always a good idea to post to YouTube.

Thanks,
Alex Reyes from NYC

thank you Dr.Mike! I have a client who had pain in the shoulder. And i had to do all three movements to find out what ‘was going on in there. He’s ok now. Great tip.; and let me say I learned a lot from your courses. Thanks again

what was the third thing you said something about shoulder post? i understand the subacromial bursa and the internal and external

Wow, great review of shoulder MSK problems. I hope you have more videos out – you are a great instructor.

great

Thanks Doc! CLEAR video , and speaking . I see light in your eyes when you explain . 110/10

thanks

very good video, thanks for sharing mate!

Oh, by the way: It would be real helpful if the video text description could include the words of the tests (e.g. Speed’s test) and conditions (e.g. bicipital tendinitis) mentioned in the video, for easier searching.
