Do Your Shoulders Need Mobility or Stability Work?
I see a lot of shoulder injuries in my line of work. Truth be told, it is probably the most commonly injured joint in clients I work with. Why? The shoulder is notoriously one of the most mobile joints in the body.
But generally speaking, clients who come in thinking they have a shoulder mobility issue are more often just lacking stability. When you have excessive motion within a joint and don’t actively work to strengthen those end ranges, athletes inevitably run into tendon breakdown and overuse injuries.
While this article is by no means all encompassing, it should give you a better picture of what might be going on when it comes to shoulder mobility versus stability and how to see what may be stalling your progress in the upper-body department.
