so I’m back today to talk about shoulder

pain specifically if you have pain on

the top of your shoulder what could be

happening what could you do

okay so a couple things I want to

explain okay so we have our little model

right here and this is like the back of

the scapula and you have these muscles

here you have four muscles that kind of

attached to the arm those are called

rotator cuff muscles okay there’s four

of them and they keep the arm attached

to the shoulder and then you have three

bones you have the humerus the scapula

and the clavicle okay and then you have

a lot of tendons and ligaments that keep

this thing nice and tight but there’s

one muscle on the top here called the

supraspinatus that is right on the top

goes underneath this part right here and

goes on the top of the humerus right

here and it attaches to the top of the

humerus ended it does this motion right

here so it raises the arm up it’s called

a deduction okay so if you have an

injury to the shoulder or severe pain

and you can’t do this there’s a chance

it could be tore completely severed in

which case you’re going to need surgery

but it could be a partial tear it could

be just trauma

it could be arthritis whatever and but

if you can’t do this if you’re like this

then go get it checked okay but what I

want to do is I’m going to talk about a

situation that you can do this but you

just have pain in the top of the

shoulder and you’re trying to get some

relief so for this demonstration we’re

going to have our volunteer which Jared

you’d like to volunteer right here okay

so let’s just say Jared you have pain in

the top of the shoulder right and you’re

like going what is going on I need some

relief and then you do this and you can

raise it up but there’s pain right here

so there’s a couple things you can do

really quick to actually get rid of the

pain if you have someone that’s around

to do this on you that’s the best thing

but if you’re by yourself I’ll show you

what to do in that situation but what

you want to do is you want to trigger or

do acupressure or a massage to the

opposing muscle to this

so right here that raises arm up okay

you basically want to stimulate the

muscle that opposes the supraspinatus

you didn’t really need to know that but

I just want to tell you and that would

be the latissimus dorsi the muscle

underneath here your latch okay it’s a

little muscle down here that brings the

arm down this way okay so hold your arm

really tight to your side okay don’t let

me pull it out so if I were to pull this

out okay I would be testing the

latissimus dorsi muscle okay if he’s

really weak on that and there’s a

problem with the lat

but what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna

stimulate the lat muscle okay so I’m

gonna show you right here the latissimus

muscle is this muscle that attaches to

the humerus and it comes right through

here it’s a really big muscle so you

want to get up underneath right through

and here right up underneath the armpit

so you want to massage that if you

actually can have someone massage this

we want to come up underneath the arm

right through in here okay you’re gonna

massage up and down and really work out

that attachment to the back of the arm

right through in here and you’re

basically stimulating the lat muscle and

you do this for like one minute now it’s

gonna be very very painful so definitely

when when someone’s doing this to you

make sure they apologize and clinic I

would always go I’m pressed in there to

get they would be like wow wow and I

would go I’m really sorry about that

I’m so sorry as I kept going in there

they appreciated that because I was

apologizing for hurting them but when I

was done they were like wow I feel so

much better because what you’re doing is

you’re working on the opposite muscle to

relieve this muscle tension right

through in here and it really does work

you have to try it that’s step one if

you have someone that could work on you

you can just have someone take their

thumb and just press up into the armpit

and just work that out okay that will

just take the pain right out of this

areas but let’s say for example you’re

by yourself you’re on a desert island

and you have no one to do this

to you to put you in pain what you do is

you actually stretch the latissimus

dorsi so you just find it like a chin-up

bar or a bar oh you can hang on you grab

your arm and you basically stretch this

way okay

so you’d want to just kind of hang on it

and just really stretch it out you can

also put your hand on a door and this

lean down and stretch that but you want

to do this motion right here that muscle

right there so very simply to get rid of

pain on top of your shoulder okay and

we’re assuming it’s not tore or there’s

not a major tear is to stretch the

opposite muscle the latissimus dorsi or

you can have someone massage it and

press in there as far as nutrition goes

you want to do keto you want to do in a

minute fasting that’s going to reduce

inflammation but there’s also something

called silica that you can take that

will support the connective tissue so

you might want to add that into the mix
