Happy Tuesday! This week I’m digging into Shoulder pain 💪
Shoulder pain in athletes often stems from prolonged poor posture—like sitting hunched at a desk—which tightens the pecs, rounds the shoulders, and misaligns the humeral head, causing joint pinching, swelling, and over time, damage to the labrum, rotator cuff, or even early arthritis. Relief starts with warmth (e.g., a 20‑minute heating pad), followed by passive stretching (like broom‑handle stretches) and light arm‑weight distractions (bent‑over arm circles). Long‑term recovery focuses on stretching the chest (doorway or chest‑opener stretches), strengthening the upper back (rows, face‑pulls, scapular retractions), shoulder mobility drills (arm circles, shoulder dislocations, thoracic rotations), and maintaining postural awareness to keep the spine neutral and chest open—helping correct muscle imbalances, restore range of motion, and prevent recurring shoulder issues.
