We will also look at how some habitual sport movements can alter the shoulder forever. We will consider the primary glenohumeral joint muscles that cause shoulder pain and dysfunction with detailed anatomy support. A step-by-step treatment protocol will be demonstrated (supine, sidelying, prone) and a directed trade will help you to master the techniques and strategies for improving shoulder health..
