Treating Shoulder Pain: A Postural Restoration Institute Inspired Approach

Shoulder pain is rarely just a shoulder issue. The shoulder does not operate independently of the rest of the body. In particular, the only way a shoulder can function properly is if the contralateral leg and hip can work properly.
Quite often the serratus, lower trapezius, and triceps muscles become inactive due to the Right BC Pattern. When this occurs, the SCM and latissimus muscles start to take over function of the arms. However, treatment for shoulder pain can't simply focus on those muscles. You likely always find weakness in the contralateral hip musculature as well.
You need to be able to support your body's weight on one leg, without using compensatory muscle before you have any chance of treating shoulder pain. The most basic reason is that breathing mechanics become compensatory when you can use your diaphragms for respiration. Diaphragms can't engage unless the pelvis and ribcage are stable. The left AIC and right BC patterns ensure that this stability has been lost.
So the resolution of shoulder pain must include re-establishing diaphragmatic breathing and working on hip musculature strength.

    Wow, Incredible amount of knowledge you just gave to me. I've been dealing with these issues for 10 years and I'm only 29. Somedays I can barely make it. My left hamstring is gone, my left trap is huge, I have clicking on the left side of my jaw, constant left thoracic back tightness/tenderness, ridiculous amount of left hip/quad/groin pain on certain days. I've been very active through my youth, dirt bikes/kettlebells/running/hiking/Marine Corps/football/carpentry. It was always noticeable, but manageable. Until 4 years ago my left arm was casted up and slung across my chest for 9 weeks, while I literally sat in a chair the entire time doing office work. And now it's like my left leg isn't even there. Idk when my pelvis shifted to the right, ever since I can remember my under garments have always ran/shifted to the right and id have to adjust them, especially when doing sports or long stride activities. Which seems like a sign I had this issue happening, or beginning, from when I was a child. Thank you so much for sharing this content, I've been misdiagnosed so many times. I have a lot of studying to do now, for that was a lot of information, but I'm starting to see some light! Thank you again!

    I have always over pronated and had slight knock knees. My mom has said I’ve had this since I was a kid. I have had back problems since I was young as well and started going to a chiropractor when I was 11. I ended up having a chronic injury to my right knee that I didn’t address for 15+ years because I always just thought I had a “bad knee” but I had actually fractured my patella and had cartilage and bone fragments floating in the knee joint. This caused me to walk with a limp from mid-teens to late 20s. I finally got arthroscopic surgery which got the knee to ~80% but it still causes pain. My entire right side feels pinched, my body feels cockeyed. I have pain from my neck that goes down the entire muscular chain to my knee and even down my arm to my fingers. I have been to a PT several times and it might help very temporarily but nothing has ever stuck. I have a high right hip, S curve scoliosis, SI joint dysfunction, sciatica nerve pain, dropped right shoulder, piriformis syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, chronic migraine headaches, TMJ, “loose” ribs that subluxate easily. The list honestly goes on still… I sincerely believe these are all related. No one I have seen has ever tried to address all these issues as one. This information is truly invaluable. I finally feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.

I have a query, got a forward neck posture with a hump in my thoracic area and my head tends to tilt to the right side And i am doing stretching and all without any specific idea. Recently i got a tingling sensation on my left shoulder (i guess its due to the pinched nerve as i had a bulging disc since 1 yr without any symptom) and i was trying to gain my cervical lordotic curve to prevent the disc from bulging but due to lack of knowledge i guess I aggravated it. Is there any way to fix it? Like should i try improving my posture to get a normal cervical lordotic curve or should i solely focus on my disc issue. Your reply would be highly appreciated. And thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 👏

I have more space now in the left back mediastinum area and have left obliques but can not get the left lower ribs to come apart.

    No right shoulder pain. All left. Now I also have impingement left side, slight tear supraspinatus and subscap. Levator scap/upper traps constantly contracted and pulling on my neck. Left hip feels unstable. Both glutes won’t activate. Slight head tilt to the right. This has turned into quite a mess. Is this what your talkjng about? Still on the right side and not the left? I’m not ignorant when it comes to the anatomy and some of what your saying but I just cannot grasp all these things you have to do to correct. Have no idea which exercises to do. Your therapy sounds really interesting, but with all do respect truly, it can’t be the only therapy to correct your body dysfunction/s or no one would get better . Most ppl have no clue about pri and they do get better through a good PT/physio helping them. Unfortunately, finding that good PT for me hadn’t happened. I still enjoy your videos b/c they all sound like what I’m going through. I will try your exercises though. My scm/scalenes are tight on right, though most pt’s I have seen say I have an elevated rib on my left, I do breath through my left scm/scalenes. Now I’m wondering if their wrong and it’s more the tight right neck causing this. I also just found out my c7 has slightly slipped onto my t1. Again everything you talk about is me. I live in FL and there are only 3 PRI therapists and one is strictly for athletes. The 2 that are left look to work in Spas and do other therapies besides pri. I need someone like you who is an expert on pri fully. Hoping your exercises will help, if not, I prob would want to come see you just for an evaluation and recommendations b/c this is ruining my body/life. Thank you for all your valuable info.

    With superior T4 syndrome, is it usual to have a normal (at least painless) right shoulder and a problematic left shoulder? Also, do you have any videos where you talk about superior T4/have you thought about making one, or is too complex of an issue for a video?

    Absolutely you could have a painful left shoulder/neck and a non-painful right shoulder. I did talk about the subclavius muscle, probably about 2 years ago. It's really, really complex. One of the hardest things to understand, test for, and resolve.

    Hi Neal again, you keep speaking how the right is being pulled up, using scm/scalenes, again I can’t stress it enough, it’s my Left scalenes/scm that are doing the pulling and I am breathing through my left scalenes, left shoulder is higher pain is on left. Also it is anteriorly rotated while The right shoulder scm/scalenes are tighter, no pain, lower shoulder and more posterior. This is why this is so confusing to me, should I be doing the reverse of what your saying? I keep watching this video over and over and this part is where I differ from what your saying. I just want to make sure I’m in the pattern your speaking of. Thank you if you respond

    The left side can be overactive and painful too, but it’s further compensation on top of the normal compensation. Pain can be anywhere. The dominant right side is still the underlying issue, compensations get layered on top of it. My beginner program likely won’t be enough for you. Your neck is too heavily involved. You need to find a live therapist.

    To spread the science of Postural Restoration. Most of the world has never heard of it, and those that have heard of it don't understand it. If we never move past the paradigm of "stretch and strengthen" people will never get effective resolution of their pain. Effective action is taken when someone resonates with something I say or discuss in a video and find a PRI provider.

    Because they need both sides. A non-hip shifting 90-90 would be more suitable so you can use both hamstrings. Once the right leg can adduct, a hip shift is more suitable. Many won't be able to hip shift without using their lower back, especially if there is any pathology involved.

    I bought their program, they are very similar to PRI, though they don't see it as a pattern as well as PRI does. It's pretty much breathing, Hamstring, Glute med based, they don't have as much stance type of training on one leg. They also don't adress vision or teeth as much as i know, a lot of posterior rib cage expansion and strengtheninh the TVA, IO and so on. They are on the right path. Something i think PRI could take from Flobility is (not rounding the back, i know it's impossible to do when your feet are on the wall... and to get proper muscle activation) Flobility has a lot of supine exercises where their feet are on/ off the ground. They do have exercises with feet on wall but that's different i think. They are about getting healthy hips and spine... just as much as I've observed Hopefully neal checks them out, they definitely are worth looking at because of the similarities and some different POV's
