Best Shoulder Pain Relief Exercises | Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Koltyn et al. from the year 2001 found that isometric exercises are able to reduce pain and they are therefore a great way to load the injured tendon early on.
1) In case of suspected superior cuff tendinopathy of the supraspinatus tendon, press the back of your hand against the wall in the scapular plane, which is at approximately 30° of horizontal adduction, and hold it for 15-30s with strong intensity.
2) If you suspect posterosuperior cuff tendinopathy of the infraspinatus and the teres minor tendon, you want to do an external rotation in a neutral Wall Press. This is done with the elbow flexed at the elbow to 90° and then externally rotate against the wall or by resisting rotation with your other hand and again, holding it for 15-30s with strong intensity.
3) Finally, if you suspect anterior-superior cuff tendinopathy of the subscapularis tendon, you would wanna do the Belly Press. To perform this exercise, place your hand against the belly in line with the elbow and push for 15-30s with strong intensity.
According to Hoger Bement et al. in the year 2008, the best variables to achieve the maximal analgesic effect are high-intensity contractions of 80% Maximal Voluntary Contraction for a sustained duration. However, the experience pain level should also be used as a guide and should not be higher than a 4 or a 5 out of 10. These exercises can be done a couple of times throughout the day in sets of 3-5. If you want to know how to know which part of the rotator cuff is affected, make sure to watch our video on full can test, external rotation lag sign, and the lift off sign or check out other shoulder rehab exercises on our channel.

- Barbara Fasol05/09/23Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain THE BEST COURSE SO FAR
I really enjoyed this course, so much it felt like a pleasure instead of a work. The explanations are very clear and the content is well documented and complete. Thank you!Alvin Chi24/06/23Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain OVERALL A QUALITY COURSE THAT SUMMARIZES THE EVIDENCE WELL.
Overall a good course. I found the scapula dyskinesis section the most helpful, as it taught helpful physical exam findings that I could not find elsewhere. I also found the discussion on various tissue irritability helpful. I removed one star because this course has large sections of text, and relatively little videos and helpful diagrams. In comparison to the PFPS course by Claire Robertson, there was too much text and too little videos. I do appreciate how evidence based the course was, but summary diagrams and additional videos would have been helpful. Despite this, I would still recommend this course.Lynn Tastenhoye21/06/23Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain REVIEW RC RELATED SHOULDER PAIN
Naar mijn gevoel werd het theoretische te weinig gekoppeld aan de praktische toepassing ervan - Tristan Bard05/02/23Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain REVIEW

A great course guided by up to date knowledge. It provides a good overview of rotator cuff related shoulder pain and the best research and treatment options following the latest evidence. In addition there is a lot of exercise and practice material to test your knowledge.Joscha Kaspar26/11/22Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain AMAZING COURSE
Can highly recommend this course. Step by step you will be guided towards up to date knowledge about rotator cuff related shoulder pain. The Information is very well presented, not to long not to short. It helped me allready to make better treatment descisions in practice with patients. They often come with “impingement” diagnosis and ideas of their subacromial space being to small. Thanks to this course not only my communication is better towards those patients but also my clinical reasoning goes better and I am able to make better treatment plans within a realistic time frame. Thank you! - Ivo Nieuwenhuis25/11/22Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain GOOD COURSE TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THE SHOULDER
I liked this course because it is connecting evidence based with the practical understanding of cuff related problems.
