hey man i was wondering

my shoulder has a lot of clicking also and if i do excessive work outs it starts to feel a little sharp pain

will these excercises help? or should i get surgery

[VBClinics]

Hey Azn!

I would ice, rest, do these exercises and see how it responds. See a doctor would be my suggestion.....Surgery is the last thing you want to do....

my shoulder has been clicking, but there is no pain. will these exercises help treat it and prevent the shoulder from getting possibly worse? great vid. thank you.

[VBClinics]

Hey Imp!

Again, I am no doctor, but the clicking sound is usually the cartiledge pushing up against bone...Happens all the time. If you are playing a sport that involved the cuff, I suggest you do these 2-3 times a day...

Many thanks for the video.

I have been having a problem over the last month or so raising my right arm in a "deltoid raise" (actually the problem is lowering the arm after raising) - do you think this exercise would help?

[VBClinics]

It could help...I would ice the affected area really good for the next couple of weeks....Then start doing these exercises....if it still hurts, go see a sports med doctor or an orthopedic surgeon....It sounds to me like you have an impingement....

These exercises are great for tennis players too as the rotor cuff is key in serves and overheads. Thanks for the demos!

hai!

what kind of band do you use? a dynaband is also good?

Hey, I really appreciate this video and the exercises are great. however, supraspinatus is not your hitting muscle. your hitting muscle would be an adductor or an extensor. Supraspinatus aids in abduction of the shoulder (the first 15 degrees of rotation, before the deltoids take over) so it will not aid in the hitting motion

The guy in the video says to do this 2-3 times a day. I personally wouldn't do it more than I would any other exercise — every other day. I'm not a trainer, but my understanding is it's muscle that is being exercised using these methods. And isn't it common knowledge your body needs one rest day minimum so the muscle tissue can restore?

Will this actually help? My right shoulder is clicking when I do simple rotation. Sometimes it hurts but sometimes it doesn't. Will doing light excercise strengthen the cuff?

whatever you do don't do bench presses/pull ups if your shoulder is fucked. i've had an operation and let me tell you it put me out of action for a long time.

Don't let it become your achilles heel like it is mine! Do your exercises, every day!

Book an appointment with a physiotherapist and tell him/her to give you some exercises to do. Apparently elastic bands are no longer the best option and you can do these exercises without any equipment.

Hope this helped.

Thank you for posting this - the exercises fixed (in a month or so) a problem with shoulder pain and reduced mobility that had been getting steadily worse over the past year.

this is great. i recently started exercising again and my shoulders always feel excessively tight--though not painful--the next day after bench presses. have worked on keeping my shoulderblades pinched together while i bench press in hopes of isolating the chest muscles as much as i can, but this morning still the front of my shoulders feel unnaturally tight. I will try these out, and hopefully give my cuffs more flexibility. thanks again!

Always remember to set your scapula, your shoulders should be back, otherwise you are not working the muscles correctly...
