Shoulder pain relief: Hanging for Healthy Shoulders

[Vince]

I'm going to try this. Thanks! I've always had funky shoulders with poor range of motion and they're very easy to injure if I don't watch my form like a hawk when lifting.

Something else that's helped me a lot are shoulder dislocations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33P5AI27eiU

Thanks for the video.

My shoulders are generally pretty healthy right now, but I have had some injuries in the past.

I think I'll add this to my workouts - and while I'm hanging, do some leg raises for my core. So I'll be getting a win-win-win:
- hanging for shoulder health
- decompression of spine for my DDD and back issues
- core strengthening

I always do this after my workout. When I found this hanging exercise, I was desperate. I know so many people that have had rotator cuff surgery and are not happy with results.

A lot of my shoulder pain, visits to sports med and a cortisone shot, I myself traced to 1)bad form lifting, and 2)tightness in the pec minor. The Dr diagnosed AC joint impingement/inflammation.

I'm virtually pain free with this video:

I love Self-Myofascial Release. My foam roller and lacrosse ball (for back and chest) have been life savers.

If interested in SMR and Trigger Point stuff - I think this book entitled The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook is probably the most comprehensive work on the subject:

Hi, Vince: the video doesn't refer specifically to rotator-cuff injury or tears. is he basically doing the same thing as what's called for in the book you mentioned in the other thread -- Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention: Fourth Edition Kindle Editionby John M. Kirsch M.D. https://goo.gl/Uc4cKF .

Yes, he's doing the same exercise that is written in Shoulder Pain? The Solution & Prevention and what I used to heal my torn rotator cuff.

thanks. am going to give it a try.

I thought I would have bumped up this thread.

Many guys I work with have torn rotator cuff. This simple exercise is so amazing in healing shoulder injuries.
