Shoulder pain is very common in a lot people. Shoulder pain that is not related to a traumatic injury, can occur because of muscle tightness or muscle weakness in your upper body. A muscle imbalance between the muscles around your shoulder can lead to pain when you move your arm. It is very important to give attention to muscles that are around your shoulder, and not just focusing on your shoulder muscles themselves. In order for your arm to move correctly and pain-free, your shoulder blade needs to move also. I often find that people who have shoulder pain, have tightness in their pec muscles (chest muscles) and weakness in the muscles around their shoulder blades, specifically the muscles toward the middle of the back. This can lead to improper mechanics at your shoulder when you move your arm, which can lead to pain. Below are 3 simple exercises, that you can try if you are having pain in your shoulder(s). If you do not see any changes in your shoulder pain after trying these exercises, you will likely benefit from a one-on-one examination by a physical therapist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
