In this video, we break down the biggest myths in shoulder health
from the “shoulders back and down” cue to sPecIaL rehab exercises, bulletproofing routines, and scary diagnoses like impingement.

We cover:

Why locking your shoulder blades “back and down” is unnecessary

Why protraction and shrugging are normal, healthy movements

The truth about bulletproof shoulder exercises

The SAID principle and why specificity matters

Why doing too much too soon causes injuries — not bad positions

Why rehab exercises are not superior to general strength training

Why shoulder impingement is common and often pain-free

Why sham surgeries can work just as well as real surgery

The real rehab strategy: smart, progressive exposure

This video is based on high-quality research and randomized controlled trials, not fear-based coaching cues.
