Great workout, thank you! Will this help with mobility issues and pain from dislocating a shoulder several years ago? I still have problems when doing front external rotations in particular that I want to improve. I’ve tried several other of your workouts also, keep up the great work. Much appreciated!
Thank you for clear, concise and well presented videos. I’m a new fan!
Good information….made these mistakes myself on my own journey towards developing these small muscles…����
This was a lifesaver for me! My PT directed me through around 5 exercises….which I almost forgot immediently!! She then gave me a running low on ink black and white handout with the exercises barely typed out with sketch like people trying to demonstrate. Needless to say I was lost! LOL! Youtube minutes later found you and was saved. I totally enjoyed and could follow along pausing when I needed to. PT back on track and a cute guy to look at and a great accent to listen to. Thank you!
One of the best shoulder health videos on YouTube, even if you’re not an avid fitness enthusiast, I’m pretty sure this could help people of all fitness levels for preventing upper back and shoulder pain. Nice video, loving your beginner workouts and rings work.
ITS PROPER AND CLEAN, MUST DO THIS BUT REAR DELT FIRST FOR ME CAUSE ITS LAGGING THAN FRONT
8’44, notice the man’s left hand also not touching on the floor…i have same problem….what are the likely cause and how to make that flat over time? in fact i felt painful when i do that when my left is 15 cm away from the floor….thanks…my right is perfectly flat on the floor with no pain
If you use a roll of towel in axilla during Rotational exercise it will be more comfortable ����
Please if anyone can answer me, is it safe to arch the back this much? Will this hurt the lower back in the future? or does it protect it?
Really enjoying your workouts, but can you tell me how much cardio you do please
Thanks for this video. I hope it helps me heal my shoulder. Injured it 6 months ago. It feels tight, painful at times, pops a lot when I move it in circular motions. Dr says she’s not sure if I have a torn rotator cuff without an MRI and just have me anti inflammatory 5 months ago. I can’t afford MRI. Thinking about trying a chiropractor. When I have the money that is… problem is I train and compete in Jiu Jitsu and have a tournament next month. So hopefully doing these every other day will help me
I saw this woman with some beautiful delts and only though…”why the fk are my delts not like that?”
Hey Mike, was nice to see you last week in Dubai Marina….I was a bit tied up with some task that I couldn’t greet you.
I know great place to learn about workouts. Just google for ‘Unflexal Workouts’:)
I’m 1 year post op of an arthroscopicaclly repaired bankart legion. I just finished this workout and it felt great! Love the way you have done this video, it feels really personal! I plan to use the 4 part series to get my shoulder to the point where I can start loading it again. Thanks for putting this out there!
Great content. Love that it’s a 4 part series actual walkthrough instead of a 2 min instruction ripoff.
Would dial down the music though, or no music at all.
You are a physio and dont know how to train Rotator Cuff WTF
hello, great video it would be nice if you could answer some of our questions, “Should we be doing sets of these or just one set of each?” “Should we do this everyday or every other day? On workout days or rest days?” thanks.
What kind of elastic band should i buy, for do these and other exercises that require it?
This is a great video, but i completely lost my shit laughing when it cut to the legs at 8:35
Hey Dr. Fields, been a while! I like these a lot. Simple and to-the-point exercises, easy to remember, no weird stigmas, no fancy equipment needed. Don’t have dumbbells? Grab a can of beans! Don’t need to be an uptown a-hole to take care of your body, amirite?
Edward, make sure you drink enough cranberry juice and protein during training to feed the muscles and stay hydrated! Not sure if you know about that yet
Personally, I want to remind folks that PT/exercise is a long-range discipline. Results aren’t instant. It takes work and dedication and the results will come if you stick with it.
Dr Jo.. Really really it’s a wonderfull exercise.. I was suffering from left frozen shoulder.. After so many exercise seen from utube and doing same as well.. I was not reliefed at all.. I seen n practice yours this video.. you don’t belief my 100 percent reliefed.. Pain gone and my left upper frozen soulder is totally free.. I mean I am able to move as earlier when it was fit.. bravo.. Trust me mam.. I will now always do this.. It’s like a miracle.. God bless you mam.. Regards������
helped so much. I am always looking for flexibility videos and workouts prior. very nice video
Thank you, I don’t know what to say you help me a lot. you are like real friends, your classes help me to continue in my work and life daily basis.. thank you so much
I had shoulder dislocation 2 and a half years ago and was exercising with weights intermittently since then. Can i completely stop my shoulder strengthening now?
thank you so much. its very helpful and honestly some therapist in paid sessions dont explain it well as you did especially with the expected wrong techniques
If you need a more comprehensive program, try Bulletproof Your Shoulder at Amazon..
I have supraspinatus tendonitis that hasn’t resolved after 5 months of rest, mobility exercises and stretching…..
I can’t tell you how much your videos have been a lifesaver for me during this horrible pandemic which has closed all private and public gyms. I have worked so hard for twenty years to get my body where it is, and it is extremely challenging for me because I have had scoliosis since a child. My muscles have a hard time remembering and recruiting the necessary fibers to support normal progression with exercise especially bodybuilding. I have to treat each limb like it does not have an equivalent because if I use my own brain to work my body the way it perceives is even or straight, I develop crookedly and asymmetrical all over. I can tell that you have a lot of experience in training and that is why I appreciate these videos so much now that they are free because I know that videos of this quality will eventually only be accessible through paid subscription. Your videos are a true gift.
You guys are just great..!! Your routines do really HEIP…thank you so much. I have with you for a few years already.
14:32 Did he just say “Larry Wheels Power”?
People say Larry has a cult following online, but it’s not just online. It seems like people are imitating Larry at the gym of virtually every World’s Strongest Man.
I started this and I have only done it twice now. And it had help as to the fact I injured myself doing a contemporary dance routine. However, its been like four or five days. Ik you guys are not a doctor but I was just wondering. Do you think I have overdone it? Maybe with stretching or was it the shoulder roll?
Great video. Looking forward to digesting the rest of your back-catalogue. (I do have to say that @ 8:00, I do this standing, with a band.)
Great info here…great video. So much misinformation out there, its refreshing to see when its on point. Thx!
I’m going to start doing this one daily! I have rotator cuff tendinitis and pain all day every day. I did this workout and my pain is gone! Thank you!
LOVED YOUR VIDEO…DEAD BUG EXERCISES THE BEST FOR ME…HAVE YOU GOT VIDEO FOR OSTEOPINIA WORKOUT?
You both are doing excellent job for pain shoulders persons.thanks Allah bless you.
Thank you so much, u helped me to recover pain shulder without go to doctor ❤
I’m a Senior (71) and have been working out with you daily for a month. The great feeling when I’m finished is motivational to continue! I’m a golfer and want to keep my game in shape and continue to walk the course. I particularly appreciate how you keep me doing each exercise “properly” to get the full effect. Thx
Hey Josh, you’ve an amazing collection of videos. I was just wondering what seven videos would be a perfect daily routine to completly opening my body. I definitly wanna put a lot of focus on the shoulders. I wanna get into bodyweight training and lifting even more then im already doing but I’ve got two bad shoulders. The tendons seem to click into the joint and give a sharp pain when I try to raise anything.
I used to do these exact exercises for my shoulder when I went to physical therapy. Like someone else said try to do this three times a week depending on condition, and for sets and reps. I would do 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps depending on your condition, this is what worked for me when I was doing these exercises. Not a doctor but if you feel like more reps and sets are needed add enough to where you feel comfortable doing those sets and rep ranges
Slim needs a wider grip on those presses, losing leverage with a narrower grip.
Just want to start off by saying that I love your videos and your exercises have helped me build strength and mobility! One problem area that still persists is a tightness in the side of my side, down to the shoulder lateral shoulder head. Could you do a video on how to release tight traps? Sitting at a desk has gotten my traps extremely tight. Love the videos man!
finally, found a good foundation video, thanks for this awesome post
Thank you! I just finished PT for pulling the long arm of my bicep (painful). My shoulder is good to go now, and these exercises will definitely help to maintain healthy shoulders for me.
3:00
With this exercise, very important to utilize “thumbs up”, or “thumbs back”. After all, we are working on external rotation, yes? Of course.
Great video, with easy-to-use home exercises. And they work i’ve had minor tendonitis in my rotator cuff for many months and employing multiple of these exercises (especially external & internal rotation) helped me
Thank YOU! you are God sent helpers. I have a such bad posture but with this exercise my posture must improve.
So let’s say even if u tore u can workout after a few weeks right? Just mild n bands body work maybe preferred cause I cnt just do nothing
Hi sir
I’ get shoulder pain while doing (Gym) Bench press..
These exercises are helpful for my shoulder pain?
Should we do this everyday or every other day? On workout days or rest days?
I moved and have not been very active. Thank you for these videos.
lol i press 10 10kg for 6 reps and eddie is pushing 60 60kg so easily wtf ahaah amazing
Hi Doc, thanks for the exercises! When you mention you had a tear in your shoulder, was it a labrum tear (for instance, from a shoulder dislocation), rotator cuff tear, or something else?
Thanks to Eddie I go through a lot of cranberry juice now. It’s amazing with the blueberry MRE from redcon.
Mike, its called locking out and it was invented in 1950’s bro. You got anything to offer that we dont know anything about? Not sure why you are yuotubing dude. you’re one of the smaller guys in the gym
you figured that one out huh…stop following me around aholes. and I DONT HAVE A LIFE? CMON
I have shoulder impingement how often should I do these shoulder exercises
That was a great visualization with squeezing finger in the middle of the back.. a perfect way to make sure that the right muscle is being engaged! Awesome! ��
Thanks for that. Great explanation and the demonstration was very clear and easy to follow.
I have undergone Latarjet procedure of my left shoulder 4 weeks ago. Can follow these Rehab to improve range of motion?
sooo with that shoulder internal rotation, why would i engage my quads??
These are the only exercises that have helped my shoulders. Thank you! Love the legs:)
Truly significant to be noted and followed. The training programme is definitely object specific and need based. Thanking the Trainers for the worthy workable workouts, presented with learner’s friendly demonstration.Great. ( Ravi)
Dr. Jo, looking for a how-to video from you for the Brachial Plexus Gliding Exercises. Do you have one? Thank you for your radial nerve gliding video. Super helpful.
I’ve done 3 years of shoulder strengthening exercises, and routinely. The muscle and tendons are as strong as they’re ever going to get, inside and out. I had arth labels surgery and the point where the pain is centered, the labrum, is in constant and chronic pain. Went back to the orthopedic dr, and to two more for second and third opinions with a new mri, and they said that there was nothing more that I could do if I did the rehab, WHICH I DID! And still do regularly. Now the problem is severe bursitis surrounding the scapula that cracks and grinds like nothing you could imagine, and of course the labrum feels like a fresh gunshot would no matter what I do. Yeah, it’s pretty darn frustrating man…
My back hurts when I cough or sneeze. Do you have any exercise for core or lower back?
Love your videos! You’ve given me some much help in my workout
except for not mentioning how often and reps, thank you so much, this will help me alot
I started from today… I want to workout hard but my shoulders are not strong enough and I have pain in my shoulders… Lets see how it goes
im off topic… docs is beautiful, infact she looks alike one of our celebritries here in the Philippines. A very good actress named Kristin Hermosa… check her out doc looks like you have an asian sis here.. lol… thanks for the video…i have just bought elastic bands and i had to search exercises… yours is nice…
How do you get stronger without looking like you’re stronger, I think the stronger you look the weaker you are:
Are these excercises very much effective?
Coz I am an cricketer nd my shoulder power is very much important
Could you help with wrist pain, I have a ball sticking out of my flexed wrist, only the right one.
Good explanation mam and were useful thank you so much doctor jo
I think this abduction one will be good for an old man like me on both sides. thank you
Thank you Jason and Active Rehab this has helped my Mum understand and remember much better her exercises and positioning. Hoping we see an improvement at our next visit to you next week.
Just a note for this type of elastic bands. It is really thin and thus very easy to break. I was doing an exercise to improve my recurringly dislocated shoulder, the band broke and I had a dislocation again… So please prefer some thicker band.
100 percent best on you tube watched 2 personal training videos and learn alot
Thank you Dr. Jo! What great videos! Thank you for your generosity!
Eddie Hall at his best is the strongest static lifter in history, fact.
I’d would just do the exercise in Bulletproof Your Shoulder and you shoulder will feel as good as new..
Eddie’s training partner has cracking strength just training with Eddie makes him feel weak lol
Eddie your next sponsorship should be water I’d totally buy any water you get sponsored by

Hello, Dr. Joe. Thank you for this video.
I heard that my left shoulder tendon was slightly torn at the hospital. Is exercise in the video helpful in recovery?
Can you tell me other exercises that help me recover my shoulder tendons?
my shoulders pops alot with no pain but when i workout my shoulder it pain alot when i sleep
Eddie I want one of those sleeveless hoodies you wearing but they always sold out?.
All this time I thought that the reverse fly machine was meant to work the rhomboids. i’ve going back way too far and only doing it right on my last one or two ‘cheated’ reps. I’ve now double checked this elsewhere and I guess you’re not making this up. Glad I watched this video. Thanks man!
what about shoulder adduction (when standing) with resistance band in a door frame? Would that be good to do 4 months after shoulder bursitis surgery?
Really good no flash, fancy clothes, product sales just focusing on good controlled techniques. I’ve watched a few videos and very impressed. Stay true!
Really like this guy, but he fails to let you know that cranberry juice will have u on toilet through out your training session lol
Hello just tried the wall exercise I can’t even get my forearm to touch the wall.
How awesome are you Doctor Jo…!!!
You rock!
Thank you for this amazing instructions and exercise you show with the resistance band, and pleaselet me state for the record,
I’m a guy/dude in great shape, I play long hrs of tennis and train, Big weights and big Muscles Do not Fix the Issue/pain, your exercise is what helped heal my shoulder!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! ������
