You’ve got shoulders – two of them! It’s about time you learn to use them correctly…
You reach overhead and there’s that catch. You know the one. Where your shoulder decides “nope, not today.”
So you adjust, work around it, maybe skip things altogether.
Why does this even happen?
It’s simple: your shoulder’s protecting itself.
When you don’t move your shoulders through their full range regularly, your nervous system starts treating normal movements like threats. It locks everything down with protective tension.
You Already Know What Doesn’t Work…
Stretching? Feels like medieval torture. And even when you tough it out, you’re back to square one tomorrow.
Band exercises from that YouTube PT? Sure, your external rotators got a workout. But your shoulder still feels like it’s on fire when you reach behind your back.
Just grinding through it? Yeah, we both know how that ends.
The problem with all this stuff is that it treats your shoulder like a mechanical part you can just tinker with until it works again.
But your shoulder – and this is obvious when you think about it – works as part of a system with your thoracic spine, your scapula, your neck, and your nervous system all playing interdependent roles.
