Ep #231: Your Rotator Cuff Is Not the Problem. Here Is What Is Actually Happening in Your Shoulder and What Your Upper Back Has To Do With It.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why your rotator cuff is not actually the root cause of your shoulder pain. If you’ve been stretching, strengthening, or doing physical therapy and your symptoms keep coming back, there’s a reason.I explain what’s really happening inside your shoulder, starting with the joint capsule and how a silent loss of end-range motion triggers muscle shutdown, instability, and compensation patterns. Over time, this leads to common diagnoses like impingement, tendonitis, and tears.I also connect the role of your thoracic spine, because if your upper back isn’t moving, your shoulder can’t function properly.You’ll learn the early warning signs of shoulder decline, why traditional approaches often fail, and what you can do to protect your mobility before pain and damage set in.Get your 📥 Free Shoulder Mobility Self-Check Here so you can identify limitations and start addressing the real problem.Book your Unlock Healthy Joint Mobility Session at https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/appointment-start.html?id_class_tab=3&id_mode=1&k_business=770209&k_class_tab=78026&k_service=310933-----------If you are interested in becoming a Certified Stretch Mobility Coach, schedule with me using this link: https://thestretchmobilitycoach.com/beckett/Did you enjoy this episode?
