Best 3 Shoulder Rehab Exercises for Frozen Shoulder & Bursitis for Home / Dr. Mandell

Frozen Shoulder and Bursitis can be helped if proper exercises and done early. The most common thing that people do with shoulder pain is nothing. They take many different kinds of pain killers and anti-inflammatories, but they are only covering up the underlying cause of their condition. Joints are designed to have movement, as movement helps increase Function. I do hope that these 3 exercises that I've shared with you make a big difference in your health. Dr. Mandell

    I wouldn’t panic, you should be concentrating more on your postural positioning as well as building core.  Your shoulders are probably pronating where they are rounding forward.  If that’s the case you should be focusing also on building the retractor muscles / rhomboids.  You might want to look into seeing a competent Chiropractor and./or massage therapist who is experienced in Neuro-muscular work.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fgz5I6KLVs

      motivationaldoc hey iv had shoulder inflammation for over a year. It affects my training and i get pain when carrying bags. How would i get rid of it?

    • motivationaldoc

      It can be some scar tissue buildup underneath the scapula called the subscapularis muscle. Find a good muscle/massage therapist to open it up and stretch it. That might be helpful.

    Hi motivationaldoc , I injured my deltoid late last year. I decided to immobilize my shoulder with a sling to help it heal quickly. Worst thing I could have done!! My shoulder froze within 2 weeks. Its been 4 months now with frozen shoulder. As a dedicated athlete, my whole life style has been effected. Going to give these exercises a go to free it up.

    My pain is not in the shoulder but about 3 or 4 inches down from the shoulder in the arm. Would these be good for that as well? Thanks.

    Thank you. My neck and shoulders are killing me but my left shoulder I’ve never had such painful bursitis in my life so thank you. I just put on a shirt tight shirt and stick ice packs in the shoulders both but the left I can’t tell you how much it hurts

    dr.can i take any painkiller?

  • motivationaldoc

    It may not be a true bursitis.  Using moist heat alternating Ice can be helpful for the shoulder.  If your capable of putting the shoulder through Range of Motion then do the exercises.

      I have been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder with bursitis and impingement in left and bursitis with impingement in right, nothing is helping get rid of the bursitis and I can’t put pressure on one am to do the pendulums so how do I do them for both?

    If I have pain or discomfort, should I continue?

  • citymouse40

    I have a rotator cuff injury that has gotten worse and the doctor mentioned frozen shoulder, is it okay to do these stretches even if it’s painful?

    Do you have any videos on leg muscle injuries or bursitis in the hip? My leg feels frozen, they said it was likely a torn muscle that would get better on it’s own, I never had any bruising or anything, I just noticed one day that I couldn’t sit down on the floor indian style, my leg will not go down and it hurts if I try I am going to physical therapy next week..but I want to get ahead of the game and avoid surgery!

    I feel like I’m turning into Pinocchio 🙂 These are all injuries do to exercise and moving very heavy things.
