REDUCED SHOULDER RANGE OF MOTION
A lot of my bodybuilding patients come to me with shoulder issues.
The cause of this can relate to a number of factors, but a common reason shoulder issues occur in those that weight train is due to the load placed upon the joint.
The shoulder joint in this population is required to lift, hold, and stabilise heavy loads, repetitively, on a daily/weekly basis.
As a result, it is important that the shoulders are mobile, and the muscles surrounding these joints are strong enough to support these loads (rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles).
Check out the before and after shots above of , working on his shoulder flexion and external rotation range of motion to address an issue he has been dealing with. As you can see, his range of motion is excellent now, which has also coincided with reduced pain and instability when training.
