Thanks Dr Jo

Hi doctor, thank you very much for sharing these exercises. I have pain on shoulder and arm pain for almost a month now. Taking injection and stronger pain killer to relieve the pain. I can do most of the exercises but not no.7 bcoz Im not able to put my right hand at my back.

Doctor Jo you're the best, you helped me in identifying my sciatic vein and now I am back here for my mother, who's lately experiencing a lot of pain in her right arm.

I have a problem with my rotator cuff since last 2 months.Thankyou very very much for these easy and effective streches

Thank you!!!!!!!! I have “Saturday night palsy” from hand to shoulder just doing the ones I’m able to do i feel the muscles in my rotator cuff releasing. This is great!

Your amazing

Thank you once again Dr Jo stretch 8 9 and 10 really really helped open up my chest and shoulders and I feel so much better breathing aswell. Been swimming for a few months and this was appreciated so much 😊

I’m a professional weightlifter. My rotator cough has been giving me a lot of pain after watching this video. I think this is has solved my issue 😊

Hello, which shoulder is the bad one in your video?

How many times do we do each exercise? ❤

Amazing lady. Very talented. And most of all really helped my injury
Thank you so much Jo!❤️🌹

Thank you🌺🌺👌

My shoulder is popping

Thanks! Really helped stretch those painful muscles, especially when held for 30 secs.

As a hairstylist with chronic “blowdry arm” thank you this is awesome

Hi Doc,

Do you think doing these exercises a couple of times a day before a boxing fight will help the small pains?

Thank you so much for this video. I was having so much pain in neck, traps, and chest region that I went to a chiropractor. While it did help majority of my symptoms, there are times I get some pain from the rotator cuff area. This helped relieve that. Thanks!

So much appreciate this pinpointed and valuable education.✨🙏🏾✨

added to my morning routine. helps a lot with my rotator cuff. now it don't hurt any more when i raise my hand left hand, point the thumbs down and push it down with my other hand.
it seems not only my lats but my rotator cuff are also stiff, these stretches target them both and now i don't feel any discomfort. thank you.

Beat by five. Thank you than you thank you!!!!

I tried a bunch of other stuff and the first three minutes hit the spot! Saving this one... Bless you for the simplicity of the excercises!

My Dr. has diagnosed me with a torn rotator cuff. I am awaiting x-rays. In your opinion should I start doing these exercises now, or wait until we are aware of the extent of the tear? Many thanks.

Dealing with arthritis, rotator and labral tears. The stretches you provided have helped me identify and isolate one of the last pesky impingements. Keep up the good work.

I got hurt doing some Dumbells repetition for shoulders and Now I Am "In Rehab"
Thank You so Much, Dr. Jo!

Dr. Jo… Thank you for doing such an outstanding job on explaining how to apply these exercises. I salute you.

How many reps of each stretch should I do?

How many times does each move repeat?

Hey doctor jo. How often should I do pendulums a day? I have minor pain and a lot of stiffness and aching going on in my shoulder.

Hello Dr Jo,

I've just found your video and already a couple of exercises felt like they provided instant relief. I have an old rotator cuff injury which was never operated on, and after starting up with pushups (adding pullups soon) it's been sore - nowhere near the pain of the original injury but my arm in certain positions tells me something is there. It is a dull pain like when you're stretching a muscle. Using your exercises, I found that while I don't feel any discomfort at all with some, others feel like a healthy stretch. Scapulations seem, however, to "hit the spot," the most. The pushups and pullups are necessary for me right now, and I wonder if, knowing that scapulations seem to target my pain area the most, you might have any extra advice to avoid further or re-injury?

Woke up with a sore shoulder and this REALLY helped! Thank you! 🙌

Hello, Dr. Jo, when I do the sleeper stretch, I felt pain on one side, but not on the other side (there was tension, but not pain), does this mean I should train the pain side more or I should not do this stretch? Thank you for any input!

Thank you very much

I ❤ ur dogs. Show some dog training vedios please

How far apart should my arms be when I do the prayer stretch?

I'm always checking up your channel every single time I feel like I gave myself an injury.

And no offense, but I hate the fact that I keep giving myself an injury quite frequently.

Thank you so much

Great video

Awesome presentation. Easy instructional videos with a clear and succinct delivery.
Respect young Lady

Hi, for the pendulum swings, how come other websites tell you to actually move your shoulder and arm in the instructions, they dont' move the whole body like you do, what is the difference?

I was told to do pt for my left one but everyone quit at my job so I've been putting in quadruple time I'll just do these when its slow

When I do the first stretch my left arm starts tingling bad. I've sprained and or picked a nerve on my left side from falling asleep while laying on my left shoulder and it has hurt for 3 weeks now almost 4 weeks.

these are excellent !

Arm aches can’t raise it above head

These are some of the best rotator cuff exercises I have found. I'm sure if I continue to slowly do these twice a day, and eventually 3x a day, I will regain the rotation of my shoulder/arm. It feels better already.

#8 popped my shoulder but omg the relief 😅
