ANTERIOR SHOULDER PAIN

Experiencing discomfort in the front of the shoulder (or the anterior aspect) is very common. There a few common mechanical causes.

The front of the shoulder is NOT meant to be a load bearing area, meaning increased pressure on the front of the shoulder for prolonged time can cause irritation, inflammation, and eventually lead to pain.

Therefore, any factors that lead to pressure on the front of the shoulder should be considered, evaluated, and addressed.
