Top 4 Causes of SHOULDER PAIN
When it comes to eliminating shoulder pain once and for good, the first step is to understand the Root Cause of your pain.
In this video, I’ll explain the 4 most common causes of shoulder pain, which include the following:
– Rotator cuff tendonitis
– Rotator cuff tendinosis
– Shoulder Impingement
– Rotator cuff tears
I’ll explain each of the top 4 causes of shoulder pain in more detail, which will you help you figure out what’s causing your shoulder pain.

Single BEST Exercise for Shoulder Pain!
It’s a bold claim, but in this video I’m going to show you what I think is the single best exercise to help people with their shoulder pain.
This is especially true if you’re dealing with rotator cuff irritation, rotator cuff weakness, and have difficulty lifting your arm due to shoulder pain.
Learn how to improve your shoulder pain by exercising your OPPOSITE arm. It sounds crazy, but that’s what I meant!
Check out the video for a full demonstration and explanation.

How to Fix “Rotator Cuff Tendinosis” (supraspinatus and infraspinatus)
I recently made 2 videos about rotator cuff tendinosis, which included “supraspinatus tendinosis” and “infraspinatus tendinosis”.
If you have either of these types of tendinosis, you might be wondering how to fix it… and that’s what I’ll explain in this video!
Overall, most people with rotator cuff tendinosis won’t need surgery. And if you follow my advice in this video, you’ll have a good chance of getting rid of your pain and healing the involved tendons.

What is the “Rotator Cuff”? (Shoulder Pain)
If you have shoulder pain, you’ve probably heard the term “rotator cuff” before, but you might not know what the rotator cuff actually is.
In this video, I’ll explain how the rotator cuff is made up of four small muscles, and I’ll tell you how these muscles function to stabilize your shoulder joint when you move your arm.
These muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis.
Towards the end of the video, I’ll also explain why rotator cuff pain is so common (things like rotator cuff tendonitis and tendinosis, as well as impingement).
This should help you understand why shoulder pain is so common, and why the rotator cuff muscles are often involved.

“Is My Rotator Cuff Torn?” (3 ways to tell)
If you have shoulder pain and you think your rotator cuff might be torn, it’s very important that you figure out if it’s torn quickly!
That’s because any significant or massive tears that require surgery are time sensitive… the longer you delay surgery, the more you risk an unsuccessful surgical outcome.
So, if you think you might have a serious rotator cuff tear, check out the video below where I’ll share 3 telling signs that your rotator cuff might be torn.
