We did a self assessment in my previous shoulder substack (link). Two were ROM assessments. The neat thing about the shoulder is you can use elevation to improve rotation, and vice versa. I’ll cover my go to stretches to improve ROM. I find that ROM restrictions in the shoulder are mostly related to soft tissue more than joint restrictions. This makes logical sense. The ball and socket joint of the shoulder isn’t a true ball and socket, meaning the socket doesn’t actually cover the ball, and soft tissue provides most of the support. Our shoulders take a beating throughout out lives, and trauma, micro over time or one off events, really stiffens up that soft tissue.
Thanks again for doing this series
