Shoulder pain is common, but the painful area is not always the true source of the problem. The shoulder works as part of a larger movement system involving the rotator cuff, upper back, neck and thoracic spine, and imbalances anywhere in that chain can create strain over time.
In this video, Dr Sofia Quiles evaluates how the entire shoulder complex functions and moves together, and explains how improving movement mechanics and joint mobility may ease discomfort. If shoulder or arm pain sounds familiar, read about neck and arm pain or explore physiotherapy at EEMC.
