Clients with wide infrasternal angles and narrow infrasternal angles tend to benefit from different strategies in regard to improving shoulder flexion range of motion. Shoulder impingement or simple achieving a normal overhead reach without using a compensatory reaching strategy is built from the lower thorax upward. This video explains why it’s important to improve the […]

Understanding the Influence of Orientation on Range of Motion
The orientation of the pelvis and thorax influence the shape of the axial skeleton as well as the position of the glenoid and the acetabulum.
