#rotatorcuffexercises #shoulderimpingementpainrelief #shoulderpainrelief

These exercises can be quite provocative so it is important to do them properly. It’s ok to start with even 3 times only as long as you do them with a good technique. At the beginning, you need to focus on quality rather than quantity but you can do more once you get used to it as it is pretty simple.

All the exercises in my rotator cuff videos including this one can be used as a warmup before sports or weight training so please stop doing static stretching and do this instead.

Also, please see the previous video for why these lengthening exercises are important. If the exercises are too difficult, you can just push and hold up to 45 seconds, which is also proven to be effective in terms of reducing pain and improving tendon functions without putting too much pressure on them.
