@178anatomy: 🔥 SHOULDER PAIN WHEN YOU REACH OVERHEAD? The painful supraspinatus tendon may not be the whole story. As the arm rises, the scapula, rotator cuff, serratus anterior, and trapezius work together to control shoulder movement. When scapular upward rotation is limited or poorly coordinated, mechanical stress around the subacromial region may increase. That is why Physical Therapy and Orthopedic Rehabilitation often assess the entire shoulder girdle — not only the exact spot where pain is felt. #ShoulderPain #RotatorCuff #PhysicalTherapy #SportsMedicine
