@shoulder.comeback: Rest Won't Fix Bad Mechanics 👉 DM me "PAIN" to fix your SHOULDER Most people with AC joint pain keep resting it, icing it, and avoiding pressing. The pain keeps showing up every time they go back to the gym because they never address why the joint was getting hammered in the first place. The AC joint takes excessive stress when the shoulder blade is not tilting back and the rotator cuff is not centering the ball. When those two things are off, every press, every reach, and every overhead rep drives load directly into the top of the joint. 😵‍💫 Here is a simple sequence to start shifting that load off the AC: 1️⃣ Banded posterior mobs to gently pull the shoulder back and create space at the top of the joint so the AC is not taking the full hit every time you elevate 2️⃣ Quad kneel scap depression to strengthen the lower traps and scapular depressors so the blade stops jamming upward into the joint on every rep 3️⃣ Prone W + reach to build mid-back and rotator cuff support so the scapula carries more of the load instead of the AC joint doing it alone 4️⃣ Banded scap angels to train upward rotation and posterior tilt so pressing and overhead work stop crowding the top of the shoulder 🏋️‍♂️ #shoulderpain #ACjoint #physicaltherapy #shoulderrehab #rotatorcuff
