The shoulder is made up of the humerus bone, scapula (shoulder blade), the ribs, and the thoracic spine. All of these bones must move in order to reach the arm above shoulder level. If these other structures do not move, relearning how to reach becomes almost impossible. In this first video in a 2 part series, I will explain how muscle tightness might prevent these structure from moving and the best stretches to restore their movement. Once you can get the shoulder blade and the thoraic spine moving properly, reaching will be a much easier skill to learn.
