Should Pain and Dysfunction

Are you experiencing shoulder pain? Shoulder pain can be caused by chronic poor posture, muscular tension, improper biomechanics and stress on 4 related joints. Shoulder pain is often the result of inefficient movement in the thoracic spine, scapula, and shoulder combined with tightness in the neck, traps, shoulders, lats and chest. We often also experience weakness in our mid back (postural muscles) that fail to keep us in good posture.
