Compensatory breathing strategies may result in an increase in the muscular concentric orientation that compresses the dorsal-rostral thorax. Common findings include limited ipsilateral lower cervical rotation, ipsilateral shoulder flexion, and limited horizontal shoulder abduction. In many cases, a diagnosis of shoulder or rotator cuff impingement may be associated as well. If your client is unable […]
