Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body, but if yours feels tight, painful, or limited – you’re in the right place – this video is for you! I’m doctor Jared and these are 7 of the most-effective stretches to loosen up tight shoulders, improve mobility, and decrease pain.
** Why Are My Shoulders Tight?
Tightness in your shoulders can be caused by various factors. It could be due to the workout you did yesterday, long periods of inactivity, and even sleeping on it wrong. These issues often lead to muscle tension and discomfort in the shoulder area, affecting your daily life.
** Common Shoulder Problems Causing Tightness
The following is a list of common shoulder issues that would cause tightness and pain the shoulder joint:
Frozen Shoulder
Rotator Cuff Issues
Impingement
Labral Tears
Bursitis
Arthritis
General Shoulder Pain
** What Causes Shoulders to Get Tight?
Several factors can contribute to tight shoulders, such as muscle imbalances, overuse, or injuries mentioned above. When the muscles and connective tissues surrounding the shoulders are strained or stressed, they can contract and lose flexibility, resulting in that uncomfortable tight feeling.
Ready to eliminate shoulder tightness for good? Join us in this stretching routine and start feeling better today!

Anyone here who completly healthy by these exercises please tell me i am suffering from frozen shoulder
For the sleeper stretch is it normal for me to be able to put my hand to the floor and only feel a slight stretch from it
When to do? After workout or before workout?
Really useful, I can feel a massive difference even after doing the exercises just once
Great video, Dr. Jared! I’ve always wondered if there are supplements that can complement these stretches and help support joint health for long-term mobility. Anyone have thoughts?
These stretches are great! Helped me a lot. Thanks!
I just watched this video and the one posted recently on 5 exercises for rotator cuff. Is it best to do the exercises first and then the stretches or stretches first and then exercises?
Warning
….. All workouts mentioned above are not recommended for prison..
Great video man. My pain gone immediately
I am trying to do the shoulder stretches and am having to modify them because they hurt. I hope to be sble to do these soon.
Stretch 5 is god send
thanks mate
Does this improve my shoulder mobility and shoulder strength as a rugby player?
These are amazong stretches for a super tight shoulder after being sick and laying in bed for a few days. Thank you!
What to do if my shoulder gets loose and kinda jumps out and back in, in the "sleeper stretch" ? I have even visited my local hospital to check it and they did ultra sound but found nothing more than a bit excess of liquid that went away after moving shoulder enough. So, never got any help cuz they didn't really care at all. Edit: Been like this for a few years.
Thank you. Exercise number 2 works pretty well.

Hi, thanks for your vedio, can you tell us how can we help our bodies to prepare for pregnancy? Special making the joint and the muscles more flexibility..
Thank you so much! That stretch behind the back did the trick! I had no shoulder left! I can injure body parts much faster then you can tell me the remedy, lol
Hi Brad. Thanks for your videos I like your uncluttered style. I’ve mostly watched sciatica related stuff but have shoulder related questions! I am wondering if you have specific suggestions for “supraspinatus tendinitis and tendinopathy” and “subscapularis and infraspinatus tendinopathy” two diagnoses I got from my shoulder MRI exam. Thanks!
Do you have any stretch to relief my pain on my right butt, i have that pain for almost half of a month, i have that pain everytime i train soccer.
