One of the most common sites of rotator cuff dysfunctions are posterior restrictions. These dysfunctions are especially common with throwing athletes, so pay particular attention to the fastbowlers on your books. Those restrictions are easily identify with passive internal/external rotation of the shoulder.

In this video I demonstrate my tricks of the trade technique in addressing posterior shoulder restriction and pain. I focus on the two super trigger points (infraspinatus and teres major and minor) which are involved in these posterior restrictions along with the fascial roundabout situated at this unique region.

This technique requires the tissue to be on stretch so make sure you check there abduction range is comfortable and adjust to suit. Its all about self care and applying theses techniques safely and comfortable for both yourself and your client.
