SHOULDER INFLAMMATION & OVERLOAD TESTSThis assessment helps identify possible overload, irritation or reduced tolerance in the shoulder complex and rotator cuff area.
These tests are not designed to diagnose injuries.
Their purpose is to help detect:
- painful movement patterns
- shoulder instability
- mobility restrictions
- overload in the rotator cuff and scapular system
- neck and upper trap compensation
During all tests: keep ribs down, maintain core engagement, keep the pelvis neutral, avoid shrugging the shoulders, keep the neck relaxed
If sharp pain appears, stop the test
