How to Fix Shoulder Pain in Seconds (This Works!)
How to Fix Shoulder Pain in Seconds
In this video, Bob and Brad, physical therapists, share five exercises that can help alleviate shoulder pain caused by impingement. They recommend doing these exercises every few hours throughout the day.
Impingement and its Causes
- Impingement is the primary source of shoulder pain in about 80% of cases.
- Poor posture or hunching forward can cause impingement.
- Impingement occurs when there is not enough room for the humeral head and tendon to move freely, causing pinching and pain.
Shoulder Squeezes
- Shoulder squeezes are an easy exercise that can be done anywhere.
- Bend your elbows and squeeze your shoulder blades together to strengthen the core of your shoulder.
- Hold for a few seconds before releasing.
Scapular Retraction
- Scapular retraction involves pulling your shoulders back while keeping them down.
- This exercise helps improve posture and reduce impingement.
- Hold for a few seconds before releasing.
Wall Angels
- Stand with your back against a wall and raise your arms up to form a "W" shape.
- Slowly lower your arms while keeping them against the wall.
- This exercise helps stretch the chest muscles and improve posture.
Pendulum Exercise
- Lean forward with one hand on a table or chair for support.
- Swing your arm gently back and forth like a pendulum to loosen up the shoulder joint.
- Repeat with the other arm.
Mulligan Technique
In this section, the speaker demonstrates the Mulligan technique to set the humeral head down in the socket and create more room for tendon gliding.
Mulligan Technique Steps
- Use a chair or Booya stick to push down and walk away while stretching.
- Push towards toes to stretch shoulder.
- Audible crepitus may occur but should not be painful.
- If painful, move on to next technique.
Shoulder Extension
In this section, the speaker discusses techniques for increasing shoulder extension and making more room for the shoulder to work correctly.
Shoulder Extension Techniques
- Start with gentle squats against a countertop.
- Increase range of motion by opening up cupboards.
- Use other household items if necessary.
- Do not go into sharp pain during exercises.
Shoulder Squeezes
In this section, the speaker demonstrates an easy exercise using a belt to decrease pain in the shoulders.
Shoulder Squeeze Exercise Steps
- Use a smooth and shiny belt over clothing.
- Relax one arm while squeezing with other arm.
- Tightness may be felt in relaxed arm.
Shoulder Surgery Alternative
In this section, the speakers discuss an alternative to shoulder surgery that involves therapy exercises.
Therapy Exercises
- A patient was set up for shoulder surgery but opted to do therapy instead.
- The patient did exercises and avoided surgery after only four visits.
- Hanging on a bar can help with impingement and is an easy exercise to do.
- Do the hanging exercise for 10 to 30 seconds, depending on your tolerance, and repeat three times per day.
Conclusion
In this section, the speakers conclude their discussion.
Final Thoughts
- The speakers thank viewers for watching and remind them that they can fix almost anything except a broken heart.
