545. Wednesday Q&A: Teres Major Area Pain, Shoulder Blade Balance, Mom Shoulder & Cupping

  • May 25, 2022
Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about teres major area pain, feeling an imbalance in your shoulder blades, “mom shoulder,” and our opinion on cupping.   Your questions:
  • I have pain somewhere between teres major and the armpit. Help!
  • I noticed a significant difference in my ability to engage the muscles around my right shoulder blade and the armpit, like delayed firing. What would you suggest to rebalance my shoulders?
  • Can you speak about “mom shoulder?” How can I get it to feel better?
  • Cupping: When, why, and where?
