@sharp_physiotherapy: Can’t Lift Your Arm Past 90° Without Pain? There’s a Reason. Shoulder pain when reaching overhead is one of the most common issues we see. Reaching into a cupboard Putting on a jacket Lifting weights Even just raising your arm in bed Most people assume it’s a “muscle issue”… But here’s what’s often missed: Once your arm goes past shoulder height (90°), the shoulder capsule needs to rotate smoothly to allow full elevation. If that rotation is restricted... ➡️ You can’t move freely. ➡️ Other structures get overloaded. ➡️ You get stuck, stiff, and sore. That’s why simply massaging the area or doing general stretches won’t fix the root problem. Proper assessment means looking at rotational capacity, not just strength or posture.
