A comprehensive research based guide to shoulder pain.

Have you ever been told you have "tight" upper traps causing shoulder pain? Perhaps someone has said your shoulder blade moves abnormally causing "impingement"? Maybe you've been told to avoid certain movements, like upright rows, because it's bad for your shoulder health. If you've heard these narratives or other explanations for shoulder pain then this guide is for you. In this guide we will seek to bring clarity to shoulder pain while providing research based information regarding the legitimacy, or lack thereof, for common narratives used to explain shoulder pain. Finally, we will lay out a practical path forward for dealing with the issue.
