Sore Shoulders

Most sore knees do not come from irreparable damage and can be fixed with a structured and progressive strengthening program.

Having healthy, functional shoulders is very important to being able to carry out every day tasks. Whether that be taking the wheelie bin out or being able to lift your arms above your shoulder without pain.

What Causes Most Shoulder Pain?

A lot of every day shoulder pain can be related to either weak muscles that stabilize the shoulder or a dysfunction within the shoulder area caused by muscles either not functioning correctly or being weak or tight.

These dysfunctions do not have to be the result of a specific injury or event but can be bought on by years sitting at a desk or overuse injuries. Caused by putting the same stress on your upper body every day.

The Most Important Muscles To Strengthen To Have Healthy Shoulders

These are the external rotators of the shoulders and the stabilizing muscles of the scapula (Shoulder blade). Infraspinatus, teres minor, supraspinatus and the lower trapezius.

By strengthening these muscles you give your shoulder more stablility, taking away the strain that dysfunctioning muscles can be putting on your shoulders.
