Surfing and Shoulder Pain

Описание: 🏄‍♂️ Ever notice shoulder pain after surfing but can’t figure out why?
In this video, Dr. McGraw breaks down common causes of surfer shoulder pain and explains what’s really happening inside the shoulder.

This video focuses on the anterior (front) shoulder muscles, while also noting that posterior shoulder muscles can contribute to pain as well. You’ll see a real example of scar tissue between the pectoral muscle and the deltoid, a common issue in surfers.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain in Surfers:

🌟Repetitive paddling
🌟Explosive pop-ups
🌟Poor posture while sitting on the board

Dr. McGraw explains how scar tissue restricts movement, reduces function, and leads to pain, then walks through his preferred treatment method: Active Release Techniques® (ART®).

Active Release Techniques® (ART®) is a patented, movement-based soft tissue treatment that targets muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves affected by overuse and scar tissue. Unlike passive massage, ART® combines precise manual pressure with active movement to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve athletic performance.

If you’re dealing with shoulder pain from surfing, limited range of motion, or recurring tightness, this video will help you understand the cause—and what to do about it.
