Sometimes you can isolate a shoulder and get results but we must integrate. The shoulder is part of an integrated system — it’s influenced by breathing mechanics, thoracic mobility, core stability and cervical alignment.
When one system goes out of balance, compensation patterns ripple through the whole structure. You might be mobilizing a shoulder that’s actually reacting to a dysfunctional diaphragm, a locked-down rib cage, or instability in the lumbopelvic region.
I assess the entire body — posture, breathing, digestion, thought patterns, movement patterns.
The body is one organism, not a collection of parts. Heal the system, and the shoulder heals itself.
