Do you think it is possible to heal from a rotator cuff injury without paying attention to the shoulder girdle? Listen as Susi digs into the rotator cuff and the shoulder girdle. A lot of times, when you think about the rotator cuff and healing from rotator cuff injuries plus much more on this episode of From Pain to Possibility.

"The shoulder girdle is an amazing part of our body" Listen, as Susi discusses the relationship between the rotator cuff and the shoulder girdle, how the shoulder girdle is used in the practice of yoga and how it blends energetic flow between the center of the body to our hands.

Susi shares the six ranges of the scapula and shoulder blade on the rib cage. She says that the humerus is where you get into the rotator cuff, that the rotator cuff attaches to both the shoulder blade and the arm bone, and why she likes people to pay attention to the exercises they are given and instead of power through them. Explore your rotator cuff from a place of presence and awareness to really allow for the transmutation of energy.

If this way of thinking resonates with you, and you are a teacher or a healthcare professional, and you want to integrate yoga into your practice, send me a note.
