When it comes to shoulder and neck discomfort - being gentle is key.  The shoulder joint has many bones joining together in a small area.  The scapula, clavicle and humerus all connect to form your shoulder joint, which attaches to the cervical spine through muscle attachments.  In short, there are a lot of moving parts!  This allows a lot of mobility in our shoulders and neck.  However, there is also high potential for mis-alignment and dis-comfort.  The more moving parts, the more potential for dysfunction.
