I have a shoulder impingement that returned. Previously, it was for around 2 months. It got better and now it’s back. I saw your video on shoulder exercises… would it help with the impingement or they will do better for those who have just shoulder pain? I tried to nerve flossing the shoulders but I can’t turn my thumb down for my biceps to face the floor. I can’t internal rotate. My physiotherapist has done dry needling but it’s kind of a temporary relief… I need more for rehab on my own… but I’m running out of ideas…

Hey, I'm Dr. Clayton Dir, PT, DPT — glad you're here. This community is for people who are done guessing about their pain. Maybe an orthopedist or surgeon couldn't quite pin down what was going on. Maybe you were offered surgery or injections and something told you to pause first. Either way — you're in the right place. A few things to do right now: 1️⃣ Introduce yourself in the with a POST — your name, where you're from, and what pain or goal brought you here 2️⃣ Grab the free 5-minute self-diagnosis checklist (low back, knee, or shoulder) — pinned in the Classroom section, it'll help you figure out if you need PT, rest, or a doctor 3️⃣ Mark your calendar — I'm hosting a live low back pain workshop right here in the group soon. Free members get the replay in Skool; more details coming as we get closer 4️⃣ Say hi to someone else's intro post — this community works best when it's a two-way street, not just me talking A couple ground rules: - This is a space for real questions and real support — no judgment, no "just push through it" - I'm active here, but this isn't a substitute for an in-person evaluation if something needs hands-on care - Be kind. Everyone here is dealing with something. Excited to have you. Let's rebuild stronger, together. 💪 📲 Follow along: @TheDocDir on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube 🌐 TheDocDir.com Oh yeah, do you have one of the pains below?
