From the video

Answers: Why does my shoulder hurt and what should I do about it?

• shoulder anatomy
• sternoclavicular joint injury
• acromioclavicular joint injury
• frozen shoulder
• shoulder dislocation and instability
• SLAP tear
• rotator cuff tear
• shoulder impingement
• biceps and rotator cuff tendinopathy

What it concludes

• Non-operative management should be the first line of treatment for low-grade type 1 or type 2 AC joint injuries.
• For atraumatic shoulder instability, rehabilitation is often the first-line recommendation.
• Exercise therapy is safe and recommended for rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement, as symptoms are often due to current tissue sensitivity rather than progressive structural damage.
