Shoulder mobility must ALWAYS start with the thoracic spine, then your correctives will work

Hanging gives me major shoulder pain, but I need to improve the thoracic mobility to fix my Shoulders lol

I wish I could hang but my multiple shoulder dislocations have messed up my right shoulder so that the pulling action of hanging makes my
Shoulder feel sore and even less stable. I’ll try these thoracic moves to see if they help.

My zenith rotation on right side is really stuck. Feels like rotations don't really help as I can barely move to one direction. Should i keep going or do you recommend something else?

Spot on. As a swimmer this is exactly what I've done to myself. Those zeneth rotations are so difficult for me now, but Im working on it slowly thanks

Damn, right after sending an email that I may not be able to drive to class.

Truth

Hi Tom. I am currently having some pretty bad trap pain. Mostly right side (I have a winging scapula that I'm working on) but it does carry into the left side some. Zenith help clear a LOT of pain but never completely. Any ideas? It's limiting my ability to swivel my head

Allways good.. Tom

Hanging ?

I love how you always tell me I'm wrong, and that fixing everything is simply a matter of changing everything I've ever believed about my body... You make it sound so simple!! I'm here for it EVERY DAY!! ❤️

Should it be dead or active hangs, or a combination of both? Thanks !

It all makes sense !!

Is this good for scapular winging?

Good content as usual. Any suggestions how to improve shoulder flexibility when you have deep sockets which causes limitations where improved spine flexibility doesn’t solve the problem?

It’s actually limited scapular mobility. Just sayin…
Full shoulder flexion beyond 40 to 45 degrees above horizontal will elevate the scapulae and force the humerus into the acromion…

Keep the awesome content coming!

I’ve been struggling with shoulder in-pigment and partial dislocation for a while. I’ve tried all sorts of rehab and finally stumbled onto the root causes instead of the usual rotator cuff. I thought it was rooted in my shoulder blade mobility but you opened my eyes to thoracic spine mobility something I didn’t even notice until I started stretching it. I got instant relief on my shoulder. Thank you 🙏

Actually so helpful!

Excellent. Is there any age limit to fix this kind of posture? Much appreciated.

Thoughts about swimming?

I'm glad that I stumbled upon your channel 💪

Thank you. I've found deadhangs at the end of my workouts to help with my shoulders

So would increased thoracic mobility help with overhead squat?

I got pooping shoulder sir , i got pain on right shoulder , it pops almost doing anything especially in 45 degrees

for thoracic mobility

What your opinion about spinal rotations in a deep squat position?

Thank you Tom...appreciate the teaching 💯

Solid sense! Thanks Tom.

You always make so much sense!

I love this!! I really struggle with thoracic mobility/flexibility and I’m a yoga and Pilates instructor even! Great info and love your channel ❤

Thank you Tom.
