Tired of Headaches & Shoulder Pain That Won’t Go Away? The Missing Link Doctors Aren’t Addressing Link: https://info.mpower-pt.com/neck-and-shoulder-pain Told you have a rotator cuff tear… but don’t remember injuring your shoulder? No fall. No accident. No clear moment it started. So why does your shoulder hurt—and why isn’t anything working? In this podcast, we break down one of the most overlooked causes of shoulder pain… 👉 Your thoracic spine (upper back) and ribs. Because if your upper back isn’t moving correctly, your shoulder can’t function the way it’s supposed to. And that can look EXACTLY like a rotator cuff tear. In this podcast, you’ll learn: ✔️ How the thoracic spine and ribs can create shoulder pain ✔️ Why your shoulder may feel stiff, weak, or painful overhead ✔️ The key signs your pain is NOT coming from your rotator cuff ✔️ Why strengthening exercises (like push-ups or band work) may make it worse ✔️ How posture and rib positioning affect your shoulder mechanics ✔️ A simple test to see if your upper back is the real problem We always rule out the neck FIRST—because that is another major source of shoulder pain.
