  1. This lessened my pain 60% after doing it once!!!! I have been doing physical therapy for weeks to no avail.

    I am doing this exercise every day, 3-4 times a day. It’s been 4 days. The improvement is remarkable.

    3 lb weights
    15 reps

    Will go heavier in a few weeks.

    Thank you.

  2. Hi Will, thanks for this. I'm going to give it a go. One query though- should we repeat on the opposite side, to strengthen those muscles too? Thanks again. 🙏

  3. I’ve had my shoulder dislocated since high school and had a steady impingement in that shoulder for many years. Let’s just say shoulder day at the gym is a nightmare so I will definitely be trying this.

  4. Brilliant, simplest I ever come across. Hope it works for me. I believe damaged it at golfing but the strange is I didn't feel anything during the golfing.

  5. I really like your videos. Thanks. A suggestion: when talking about the different muscles at the beginning (which is great) you talk about benefit to three out of four rotator cuff muscles but the video highlights what looks like one muscle ( if it is really three, it would have been interesting to see then delineated). Thanks again. Great job as usual. 👍😊

  6. I had this injury for about one year. After a scan the doctor sent me to the physiotherapist but his exercises did not really helped. But after two days practising your exercise my shoulder was all right again. Really true! All of your presentations are very clear, practical and very usefull.

  7. Does this work as well or better flat on your back, reaching from all the way wide open to all the way across your body to closed? Keeps your body immobile while your arm and shoulder work.

  8. Thanks for the exercise. My left rotator cuff has been acting up lately. I am going to incorporate this in my workouts. I have limited motion in my right shoulder. I was told 3 years ago to replace it. I did not. I can play golf with it no problem. Limited in raising my arm up. Was told cartilage is deteriorating. I continue to go on with restriction but it is not life altering. Thanks again.

  9. Hi Will, thanks for all the exercises! I'm trying to continue my fit for life exercises, but had to stop for about 2 years now b/c I'm taking care of my Mother. I'm trying to fit exercise into my daily routine at home now. You encourage me so much!! Donna

  10. Hi as a retired Physio I was really interested in trying this exercise to see if I can avoid having surgery. Managing 3 reps of 10 but it really helps if I think about engaging the rhomboids before I start the lift which avoids the pain and clicking…. Will keep you posted!

  11. I do this standing. I hold a weight in each hand, hold my hands forward and spread them out as far back as possible. I combine it with an exercise you had taught, wall-press or something, more or less like doing pushups with the palms on the wall.

  12. My arm hurt a bit with the dog pulling on dog walks, it has been hurting for a couple of nights whilst I’ve ended up laying on it. Tonight it’s been agony out of the blue,this really seems to be helping. You are a 🌟 I’m going to buy your book and another copy for my sisters birthday 🎁 Thanks again 💯👍👏🙋🏻‍♀️🙏

  13. I have been doing 4 exercise work outs that improved my my shoulder pain/stiffness 50% but still could not raise my arm as if mimicking kids flying like a bird , started this exercise 4 days ago 3 sets x 25 , wow what a result almost back to normal,, Prob the one and only exercise that works 100% ! after trying many others the last 4 months .

  14. No pain, just grinding and popping noises. I started doing this exercise 3 times a week, and by the second session the grinding had already reduced considerably. Now three weeks later the noises are almost completely gone. Thanks!

  15. Just popped up on my feed,have a shoulder problem for months now, have had physio and done all the generic exercises, but nothing has helped, going to try this, so debilitating and frustrating, hopefully might help fingers crossed 🤞

  16. Excellent vid Will, I've subscribed. I've checked your back catalogue and cannot find one for biceps tendonitis – that's my big prob. Any recommendations?
