    I can't thank you enough for this video. In October, an orthopod diagnosed me with a small rotator tear "typical for your age." His only advice was to "keep moving it, all the time, so it doesn't freeze." After two months of haplessly flapping my arm around and getting worse, I found this video. I had some relief after doing it just once and now, after a month, I'm almost completely pain free. Again, thank you.

      AskDoctorJo Hello. I have a medium tear in my right cuff and light tear in my left. I had ankle surgery in July and will have ankle replacement in a month. I am non weight bearing on my right ankle and using a walker until at least 6 weeks after my next surgery. My shoulders are worse than ever now. Getting a shirt over my head is a big challenge. Are these exercises good for my tears or since I’m using the walker, should I expect everything to get worse. Not sure if I should start anything until after my ankle surgeries have healed and I am off the walker. Thank you!

    You are an absolute life saver. I’ve been having issues with my rotator cuff for the past 4 years from a lifting incident and recently it’s been hurting me a lot since I picked up working out again. I tried the sleeper stretch and I was amazed at the fact when I lifted my arm up, there was barely any pain. Thank you so much for this video. I hope it continues to help others!

    Hi Dr. Jo! My shoulder really started bothering me right around when Coronavirus started going, and I couldn't make it to my PT appointment. It was getting worse, but I didn't want to risk my life setting foot in a hospital for a shoulder owie. I finally googled and found you, and beginning to feel better slowly already! Your videos strike the right balance of being informative, fun, short, and the tone is perfect and approachable. Thanks so much for helping me stay safer at home -- and with less pain!

    Hi DoctorJo,
    I am a pretty active middle-aged man. I have caused some discomfort in my shoulder (quite severe at times) which was initially caused when bench pressing before lockdown. I am still doing lots of exercise but it does reach a point where it becomes too painful to carry on sometimes.
    I have done these sets of exercises twice now. Really all I can say is thank you 😊. It has helped tremendously (first nights sleep without shoulder pain in over a month now).
    I will continue to do them so I can hopefully get back to an injury free shoulder. Thank you once again.
    Now all I need to do is get my Achilles sorted😆

    Several months ago I broke me arm in two places and was immobilized for 3 months. There was non-union of one the fracture so I ended up needing surgery. In total, my arm and shoulder were immobilized for a total of 6 months. Then I couldn’t move my shoulder! My OT/PT therapist focused on my wrist and hand only. So I performed these shoulder exercises exactly as performed by Dr. Jo. Within only 4 months of doing them daily, I regained complete shoulder movement and strength! I no longer need a towel for the back stretch, I can touch the fingers with both hands!

    Hi Doctor Jo.
    I've subscribed and look forward to using your vids to help with managing Elhers Danlos Syndrome.
    As you would be aware part of this syndrome can be multiple dislocations, cuts and bruises ( the type of EDS I have). Along with the early onset of arthritis. At 54 this happened in my early 30's
    I have been looking for a resistance type of training for sometime and yours seem perfect.
    I am going to use these to try to ease the pain, get some movement back and delay shoulder joint replacement. Even when i need the replacements, the muscle build up will help with recovery
    So thankyou for taking the time with these vids
