Had a client come in saying she had "baby arm" from carrying her 22 pound son in her left arm. Told me she can't reach behind her without pain. My first thought was to check the rotator cuff muscles. When carrying a heavy load, if there is dysfunction, it's common to roll the shoulder in. That would be an overworking subscapularis, right where her shoulder hurt. Her infraspinatus failed the test and even hurt to do so. Released the subscap and activated the infraspinatus. No more pain and full range of motion. She'll have to pay attention and switch arms.

Lots of people have pain between their shoulder blades, and it can be caused by a variety of factors. It could be that the head is too far forward, tightening and weakening the rhomboids. It could be that they are overworking for under active pecs. And it could be because of a synergistic relationship between the rhomboids and the levator scapula, both of which contribute to downward rotation of the scapula. Downward rotation of the scapula is when the medial border of the scapula moves superiorly, and the lateral border inferiorly. Now first you have to determine which one is overworking. That's where the NKT testing protocol comes in. That will determine if you release or activate the rhomboids. A tight muscle doesn't tell you if it's neurologically over or under active. Test don't guess!
