==============================
Your shoulder is your most mobile joint in the body and, because of this, it also has the most muscles that act on it. While many of these muscles move the shoulder joint directly, there are a number that are responsible for moving your shoulder blade and putting your scapula in the right place to perform pain-free shoulder movement.
We refer to this as the “timing and sequencing” of shoulder movement - the shoulder blade and shoulder joint need to move in harmony with each other for proper, painless motion to occur.
If your shoulder is hurting, especially with overhead movements, it may be because your scapular stabilizer muscles aren’t performing their proper function or the timing of the motion may be a little off.
Any rehabilitative exercises you do for your shoulder should include performing motions that strengthen and stabilize the muscles that act on your shoulder blade.
Those are the exercises you’re going to get in this video! The goal of all three exercises in this video is to train and strengthen the timing and sequencing of setting your shoulder blade into an optimal position and then training your rotator cuff to move the shoulder joint. This is how the shoulder optimally moves through pain-free motion and any deviation from this sequence can result in pain.
These are three shoulder exercises I give to my physical therapy patients everyday to do at home and they’re incredibly effective! The best part is you can do them anywhere with very light dumbbells or any other form of resistance (1-2 pounds recommended to start).
The best dumbbell exercises for your painful shoulder are “I’s, T’s, and Y’s” and you can find them at the following time stamps in this video:

Having some rotator cuff soreness especially after gym. Taking it easy and doing these, hoping it works! Feels good.
Good video, but for me the I’s are fine but the T’s and Y’s are flat out undoable for me right now. Any suggestions?
Had shoulder pain for about a year now, tried many stretches and exercises, literally the first lift I did I felt something click and the pain got much better almost instantly. Thank you very much for making this info available to all, I'll be doing my best to keep these up daily 😁
I’ve got a lump feels like a bone on my right shoulder blade will this help or do I need to seek medical treatment
What if you have frozen shoulder? Do you still recommend these exercises
How many sets we should do sir
Dont do the last two these are movements that cause the injury in the first place! Extending your arms outwards will only worsen a torn rotator cuff
Thank you very much! This video helped me a lot 🙂
Thank you very much! This helped me a lot 🙂
thanks very much,
this is quite helpful though i have no pain in either my elbow or Shoulder i heard that my Minor weight lifting injury i took to my elbow might be because of weak shoulder muscle's.
Hi! Will it b only for the affected shoulder? Or should we do for both hands to maintain symmetry?
Don't have a bench/couch/bed up that high or a table that I could lie on.
"I even have people do it up on the kitchen table" my word, young man!!!!!
I don't have a table for this, what can I do?
Your other videos about shoulder stretches and resistance bands have helped a lot, but this one almost wrecked my shoulder.
Viewers be careful.
Avoiding tricep dips will also help minimize shoulder damage.
Have a blessed day!
