If so, then here’s a quick and easy to test to find out what may be causing your shoulder problem… Shoulder problems are common… a At any age.
a But specifically between the ages of 35 and 55 years old… a There’s a problem that commonly occurs in the shoulder. a The big, fancy Physical Therapy name for it is: Shoulder Impingement.
Shoulder Impingement looks like this:
…And what happens is this. See the bone sticking out called the “acromion”? (By the way…that’s a view of the right shoulder…from the front…and the acromion is part of the shoulder blade). Well under the acromion is a small space… And in that space is one of your rotator cuff muscles (the supraspinatus). (Don’t worry…I won’t ask you to repeat any of the names!) Well, what happens is as we become “more seasoned” in life…and have more birthday candles on our birthday cake…that space can close down. In the beginning it can cause inflammation…And lead to “bursitis”, “tendinitis” and “arthritis”… And eventually begin to cause fraying of the tendon…And then a partial tear…Or even worse, if left untreated, can cause a full rotator cuff tear. Luckily, if you have shoulder pain and early signs of problems…there are steps you can take today to stop that from happening…But first we want to see if this is really what you have going on.
So here’s what to do. 1. With the painful arm, reach behind your back and up between your shoulder blades as high as you can. Note if you have any pain, tightness or achiness. 2. Then with the non-painful arm, do the same thing. If there’s a difference from side to side…then there’s a really good chance you have at least the beginning signs of “Shoulder Impingement.” That’s the #1 Single Best At-Home Test I can give you to see if you’re having trouble with your rotator cuff.
