jeff i have a question could you please tell me what i should do,
my supraspinatus is torn for abotu 40 %, i am doing PT therapie right now, and after every single massage of that area it feels like it even torn more.
should i stop thme from massagin it? i tell them and even scream from pain when the press they wooden massage stick in thre as hard as they can, but they say i need to get - my muscles lossened- but it just feels like they tear it appart even more.
so should i let them torture and hope they know what they do, or should i listen to my body and make them stop from massaging it?

I've been having sooooo much trouble and pain in my right shoulder. I thought it was an impingement at first. But I had no problems lifting my hands above my head, with no pain or problems. Then I thought maybe it was AC joint problems. And that seemed like it could be it, but again, several of the exercises to show this pain didn't produce it. Finally, this vid puts it right on the nose. I have a ridiculously tight posterior capsule. Now that I realize it, I will start doing this stretch, and using a band to strengthen those smaller muscles in my shoulder blade. Thanks.

My mother (who is used to going to the gym) tore a tendon in the upper arm and suffered bursitis - this was a year ago and she has been trying to work through it via her PT. She now has an appointment for surgery but is trying to look for something to help with strength, movement and avoiding the surgery. Is it possible to heal a tear oneself and not go through surgery, do you have any idea how long repair can take and is it something that should be completely rested (as suggested) or should it be exercised and gently used to aid repair?

So wait, DO I want to isolate the internal component, or should I primarily focus on external rotation and get most of my internal work from other exercises?
Going through rehab for a rotator cuff strain right now. It was minor, but I'd kept lifting on it for a while not realizing my shoulder was actually the problem. Thanks for explaining that it's a muscle group more than just one part, that'd help explain why it took so long for me to precisely pinpoint the issue.

Greatest video of all time old chap, thank you so much, immensely helpful.
If it takes your fancy, you could do a series of videos around a wooden table like you find in your local park: all the possible strengthening or therapeutic activities you could do using just the wooden table, the bench seats, and the wooden poles that hold up the roof. waddaya think?
Thanks Jeff+Freddy with the camera.

When I do external rotation exercises I find that focussing on driving my elbow forward a little helps. So as I externally rotate I visualise adduction of humerus and forward push of elbow. This helps me get more stability than thinking in terms of driving my lower arm or hand back. In what I am saying, my focus is more on the humerus, and I avoid to much levering. Hope that makes sense.

I had a bad shoulder for a long time. In the end I had to take a few years off doing anything with it & just let it rest. then after a few years I started very light work on it & as soon as I felt any pain I packed in in for a few weeks till it calmed back down then I hit it lightly again. Now I'm back to press ups without any bad feelings or pain. I'M BACK! & LEARNT MY LESSON: )

These videos are awesome. I haven't been able to stop watching them since I found them. I have a long history of shoulder pain and I know that finding the right form can be the difference between working out and not working out. It's interesting to see someone explain, in an intelligent way, why something is hurting and what you can do to make it better.
