HOW YOUR SHOULDERS CAN CAUSE YOUR LOW BACK PAIN
✨A great post from .jacob.harden

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. And having full use and control of that mobility is crucial for a well functioning body.

If you can't get the arm fully overhead, your body will find a way to do so, especially when you need to press a 🏋 heavy weight or sling a ball 🏈 down the field. This is how compensation patterns develop.

The picture on the left shows a common compensation for a lack of shoulder mobility. Because you run out of room at the 🙌 shoulder, that motion comes from somewhere else, and it is almost always from excessive low back extension.

Done enough times, it becomes a ticking time bomb. Your low back becomes very 😣 sensitive to extension and you develop low back pain. Instead, you want to keep the ribs tucked ⤵ down, the pelvis neutral, and get balanced extension from both the thoracic and lumbar spine.

Now that you know what the problem is, the 🛠 fix becomes simple. Make the shoulder work right and the low back stops getting jammed up every time you go overhead. It calms down and your 😃 low back pain goes away!

I'm going to break down how to test yourself and some steps to take to fix this all this week so tag a friend who needs better shoulder mobility and share the wealth!
