"Why does Shirley Sahrmann encourage elevated shoulders when we lift our arms above our heads, but Gray and Brett call it the 'bad position" in "Secrets of the Shoulder"? Lifting and keeping shoulders depressed is "scapula depression syndrome" in Sahrmann's book."

Ask Gray Cook
Gray Cook answers your questions from the StrengthCoach.com forum.
This week Gray answers the question:
"I know people talk about how shoulder "issues" are frequently related to opposite side hip lack of ROM, stability, function. I assume that would also mean that issues in the ITB would also contribute to opposite side shoulder issues? Is there anything other than soft tissue work i.e. ball,foam roller work you can do for the ITB?"
Check out the Chop & Lift articles Gray talks about in his answer.
