Why are Shoulder Stretching Exercises Important?

Why are Shoulder Stretching Exercises Important? Shoulder stretching exercises are essential to allow for enough movement around your shoulder to allow for normal biomechanical shoulder movement. Shoulder pain and injury often causes some shoulder muscle groups to overwork, tighten, shorten or form knots. This abnormal resting muscle tension will restrict your potential shoulder movement, predisposing you to shoulder pain and injury. Likewise, just as some shoulder muscles tighten other shoulder muscles will weaken and actually become elongated. It is important that these shoulder muscles should not be further stretched. Instead they should be strengthened with specific shoulder exercises. For specific shoulder stretching exercises that are appropriate for your and your shoulder injury, please consult your physiotherapist who specialises in shoulder pain and its rehabilitation.
