The best (and safest) exercises for shoulder pain, from doctors who treat it every day at Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Cañada Flintridge.
If you've Googled "best exercises for shoulder pain," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which also makes it one of the most vulnerable to impingement, rotator cuff strain, and referred pain from the neck.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
Most people with shoulder pain intuitively stretch the area that hurts. The problem is that the painful area is often the unstable segment — it's already moving too much. Stretching it more can make things worse. The area you actually need to work on is usually the joint above or below.
