Sports Massage: Treating shoulder pain

This is a short excerpt of our upcoming Shoulder masterclass, i focus on an often neglected region when treating the shoulder dysfunction. The intercsapular/ lower trapezius /latissimus dorsi fascia.
I often feel that this area is neglected by most therapists, most likely because we tend to focus on the rotator cuff function, which is absloutely critical but its only part of the larger shoulder dysfunction that usually exists.
In my opinion this is a great starting point in the treatment process, focusing on the distal extension of the shoulder first and then condensing your treatment towards the more symptomatic areas of concern.
Its not unusual to find thoracolumbar restrictions with presenting shoulder dysfunction.
We need to be mindful when treating shoulder dysfunction that we include the subsidiary fascial connections when treating shoulder girdle dysfunction
