Postural abnormalities and subpar biomechanics can lend to the development of scapular dyskinesis and associated shoulder pain. Excessive loading while performing forced shoulder flexion can elicit unnecessary discomfort and pain during, and after, exercise. Shoulder pain can vary from being noticeably mild to debilitatingly painful. Forcing ballistic movements can set the stage for incurring a time consuming recovery from injury. Assessing the intended movement and engaging it cautiously will help to circumvent undue muscular strain. Many injuries can be avoided through awareness of posture and becoming sensitive to the alignment of specific movement.
Modern society is riddled with many physical abnormalities that were relatively unknown in the recent past. The lack of movement sets the stage for injuries to occur. Also, over-indulging certain movements can cause injury. There is a happy medium that can be achieved and there by forestall most injury incurring situations. Conservatively speaking, shoulder pain is prevalent in 21% of the population. Societal trends do not need to be indicative of a person’s fitness / wellness trajectory.
Forcing shoulder movements can consequently lead to soreness or pain. The movements done, say, to improve performance in a particular area can be overdone. Bringing shoulder pain to the fore can be extremely limiting for daily activities. Arms are a major necessity for all activities. When pain is incurred due to various actions, one becomes very hesitant to attempt things. Yet, exercise can be supportive of the body when done correctly.
The level of experienced pain is reflective of a number of coincidental or incidental factors. Weakness in certain areas of the body can give rise to shoulder pain. Weakness in the serratus anterior impacts proper scapular movement. The rotator cuff group is also intimately tied to proper scapular biomechanics. Biceps tendonitis is also implicated for shoulder pain / discomfort. These examples can be impactful of each other, over time, or be significant as a solitary factor as the cause of pain.
Proper assessment of intended movement could help in keeping one functionally active. Consider the exercise thoroughly. Perhaps some questioning is required. Seek out a reputable information source for your fitness questions. Engage the movement with some intelligence (relative, I know but work with me). Do not ‘overdo’ it. That is difficult when the adrenaline is up and the ego-self is running the show. the goal is to attain the benefits of the intended movement without sustaining undue strain.
Scapular dyskinesis is prevalent to a large extent throughout society. In particular, forced shoulder joint movements can exacerbate any scapular dysfunction. Resultant shoulder pain can be dull and unimpactful to sharp and excessively tender. Recovery can cause unwanted sideliner of higher levels of activity and can require considerable recovery time. Taking time to assess the movement thoroughly can help in avoiding soreness and injury. Consider the movement and the reason for persueing it; determine if further insight is needed and seek it out for a dependable source. Be cautious as you go for it . . . . .
