Ah the Shoulders!
Such a complex, complicated joint.
Some have had a rotator cuff injury. Others have dislocated a shoulder during a fall, or experienced frozen shoulder from an injury or feel they are weak in their upper body. Many have neck pain and strain due to their dysfunctional shoulders.
The challenge is real!
Shoulders are designed to be mobile. They allow us to move our arms in all directions. Front, back, up, down, internal and external rotation, side reaching, protraction, retraction, circumduction. The shoulder is your most flexible joint on the body.
But the truth is that modern life has us dropping our head, rounding our spine and losing full shoulder function and ease.
If the shoulders and shoulder girdle are not equal parts flexible and stable, big problems come up.
