Fixing The Shoulder Pain

Program Description Are you suffereing from a rotator cuff injury or a chronic nagging shoulder pain? The shoulder complex is composed of the following four joints:

  1. 1. The gleno- Humeral (GH) joint.
  2. 2. The Acromio- Clavicular (AC) joint.
  3. 3. The Sterno- Clavicular (SC) joint.
  4. 4. The Scapula- Thoracic (ST) floating joint.


Each of the joints have to be positioned and maintained in its proper alignment and place. A group of fantastic muscles work synergystically like an amazing orchestra to achieve this task. A joint not very well balanced and/or deviated from its perfect place can be a source of discomfort and pain affecting the quality of life, making it difficult to perform a naive movement such as raising your arms above your head to dress, let alone physical performance!
