…When athletes are missing basic range of motion (Ie. they are dys-supple) the body has to account for force generation in those compromised and compensated positions. For example, if your shoulder sits anterior in the socket (Delta-Bravo shoulder postion) muscles of your rotator cuff like the subscapularis have to work in really horrific positions. This is one of the reasons why poor positioning begets poor mobility (it’s a wonderfully developed positive feed back loop that creates work for doctors, physios, chiros, osetos, etc). So a matted down sub scap is likely just a symptom of poor shoulder mechanics. So, fix your shoulder mechanics, and treat the symptom…
This was among the more gentle of the exercises we did today in Active Recovery class. It’s extremely easy to go through life not realizing how much mobility we’re losing, but with work and some pain we can claw it back. Simple test - stand in front of a mirror and extend your arms straight up and locked. Can you do so and maintain good posture? Are your ears in front of or behind your arm? Check out mobilitywod.com for SMR exercises that are easy to do at home.
