Need immediate pain relief from your shoulder impingement with a few simple exercises? You'll learn how to settle down your shoulder pain and get you on the first step to long-term restoration of your shoulder.

First, learn about shoulder impingement and the three main root causes — all of which are fixable with corrective exercises that we'll link at the bottom of this description.

You'll need a few pieces of equipment: a foam roller, a massage ball (or tennis/lacrosse ball), and a long strength band (or a belt/rope/bungee cord).

The first exercise will help break up any adhesions in the tissue and release tension from your shoulder muscles.

The second exercise will help mobilize your spine. Getting the thoracic spine strong will not only help your shoulder pain but also begin improving posture. It'll activate the deep muscles that let you hold good posture effortlessly all day.

Pay attention to the cues on the third exercise. Keep your shoulder from rotating forward.

The key for the fourth exercise is in the setup. You'll want your shoulders down, shoulder blades pinched together, and the top of your shoulder blades pointing back, behind your head.

If this reduces your shoulder pain, click the like, subscribe, and notify buttons. You'll find new information each week on how to keep moving freely and without pain and help others discover these exercises, too.
