Your shoulder pain might not actually be coming from your rotator cuff… 👀⚠️
A lot of people are told it’s impingement, tendonitis, or just “tight shoulders”… so they stretch and strengthen over and over 😵💫
But what if the real issue is a restricted neurovascular sleeve in the axilla (armpit)?
The neurovascular sleeve is where important nerves and blood vessels travel from the neck into the arm — and when the surrounding tissues become restricted, it can contribute to:
🔥 chronic shoulder pain
🔥 pain with reaching overhead
🔥 tightness in the shoulder that never seems to go away
🔥 numbness, tingling, or discomfort into the arm
🔥 symptoms that keep coming back no matter what you do
So even if you keep treating the shoulder joint or rotator cuff… the problem doesn’t always go away ❌
Because the tissues surrounding the nerves and blood vessels may not be moving the way they’re supposed to.
By identifying areas of restriction around the neurovascular sleeve and working to improve tissue mobility, we help patients move better and get back to doing the things they love ✅💥
