Shoulder, neck, or back pain? Consider that a piece of the puzzle to improving your shoulder issues is to improve your shoulder extension (reaching the arm backward behind the body). If you have limited shoulder extension, you will have to make up that lacking range of motion by rolling your shoulder blade up and forward or rounding your thoracic spine.

When you do your pullups, pushups, rows, dips, bench, or any sport where the arm goes backward behind the body, you will have to make up for any limited range of motion by using another area of the body. Is this inherently bad? Not really. However, that doesn't mean that these limited shoulder ranges of motion or compensations aren't a contributing factor to pain or injury.
We like to improve the range of motion of all joints in all positions to help people overcome mechanical pains.
Shoulder extension is just ONE of many motions you could be working on.
Do 2-3 sets of 10. You can pull a band apart, hold a stick, or try to squeeze a ball together while reaching behind you.
Make sure to keep your arms straight (no elbow bend).
You will also find that your triceps will get a sick burn from this.
