The rotator cuff, and the shoulder joint in general, are meant to have very wide ranges of motion…which makes them way more vulnerable to injury. Restoring ROM to the shoulder joint can help fix issues with the shoulder girdle such as hiked, winged, or frozen scapula!
In this video we’ll go over simple, passive, and active myofascial release techniques for the rotator cuff to improve shoulder girdle positioning.
