Shoulder pain? Check your shoulder blades!
Having shoulder pain? Check out your scapular stability and mobility before moving towards the rotator cuffs. Our shoulder blades (scapula) are the base of support for the shoulder, and it can amount to as much as two thirds of all shoulder elevation. Many times we look to strengthen the rotator cuffs way too early. Make sure to correct the foundation before building the house. Have your practitioner perform a scapular thoracic function test the next time you are in the clinic.
