    Great stuff, but I want to be sure this is what I SHOULD do…
    When I rotate my arm or do, for example, a YTWL exercise, my shoulder cracks…
    Same thing happens when I rotate my arm…

    For anybody with a rotator cuff injury is it painful to do pushups and bench press.

  6. and1balla4life says:

    @ramundo07 yes rediculously painful but im always playing basketball and i play through the pain with no problem its more when i try to move doing household tasks like simply reaching over to lift my laptop was impossible this morning

    I had open rotator cuff surgery at the age of 46. The rehab was excruciating, and I found tennis ball therapy as a form of self massage to be great but moved on to softballs. It doesn’t require anyone to assist you and this simple therapy provides deep tissue manipulations increasing circulation, breaking down scar tissue, and some joint mobilzation. My range of motion is virtually normal, the arm has good strength, and is remains pain free 6 year later.

    @and1balla4life that sucks, im just doin my own rehab at the gym, i can now do pushups put its painful and i think i tore a ligament. im hoping it heals within the year cuz im trying to join the military.

    I agree with politically censored. The info in the video is exactly what a doc told me when I saw them about my rc tend. However, the video provided more info and, quite honestly, was more personal and warm than my face to face visit. go figure. i could have saved my 35$ co pay.

  15. ahkjdh13 says:

    dang these exercises are tougher than bench pressing lol

  16. y3sprint says:

    i poped my shoulder out of socket i dont get much pain at all but my posture in my right shoulder seems to sit forward slightly wat exercises could be good for me the only way it hurts is when im throwing a quick punch and it hurts then i can feel it popping out again but just stays in socket my shoulder blade seems to sit different too i use to do lat pull downs behind neck could this cause a freak muscle to grow and push my shoulder forward slightly ???

  17. Galapijones says:

    how often are you supposed to do these exercises?

  24. turgore says:

    HA ! I have number 2 and I have a lot of pain when I’m trying to do it !My only problem is that my affected arm feels more boney on the posterior…so I’m scared that I have a posterior dislocation.

  25. legendof says:

    @lilscorsese You sir, are a FUCKING beast! 51 and pressing 190 pounds. Wow. I can’t push a plate. Do you recommended pressing for an injured shoulder? Mine is tweaked, I hurt it years ago and it take punishment from Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai training.
