Shoulder pain can be downright miserable.

Your shoulder supposed to be the most mobile joint in your body but when it’s painful even the slightest motion can be aggravating.

Luckily the right stretches and exercises can help to eliminate pain, increase motion, and improve function.

The exercises presented in this video are the same exercises I use with patients in my physical therapy clinic every single day. They’re incredibly effective at reducing pain and I hope you find them beneficial as well.

️ ACUTE VS CHRONIC PAIN

The exercises in this video tend to work a little better for “acute” shoulder pain. This is pain that you’ve been experiencing for hours and days rather than months and years. If your shoulder pain has been bothering your for years, chances are you’re going to need more stretching and a lot more rotator cuff strengthening.

However, if you recently aggravated your shoulder and are looking for some simple exercises to help relieve your pain, you’ve come to the right place! These 5 exercises can effectively help stretch out your tight shoulder to get it moving again and help you to feel better.

️ HOW TO DECREASE SHOULDER INFLAMMATION

Our first step in treating acute shoulder pain is to focus on decreasing inflammation. The inflammatory response in your muscles and tendons are likely causing the majority of your pain; anything we can do to eliminate that response is going to be the best for you.

This is best done with rest (avoid painful activities with your shoulder), ice (put an ice pack on it for 20 minutes at a time multiple times throughout the day), and anti-inflammatory medication (taken as you are medically able).

️ HOME EXERCISES FOR SHOULDER PAIN

Our goal with our exercises is to simply decrease tension and pain in your shoulder. This is best done through some simple stretching and active range of motion exercises - which is exactly what you will find with this video!
