My shoulders and I have a challenging relationship. <\/p>

We\u2019ve been through numerous separations. This led to two sessions of counseling to help us serve the other better and maintain a closer relationship without the attachment issues we\u2019ve had in the past. <\/p>

\n\n\"Shoulder\n<\/span>\n<\/div>

I believe, in the medical world, this is known as multiple shoulder dislocations and repeated surgery.<\/p>

I admit it. It was my fault. I\u2019ve abused my shoulders with a cocktail of rugby, regularly being the smallest guy on the pitch, and for some time, a lack of knowledge about how to care for them. Maybe the hypermobility didn\u2019t help, so they have to take some responsibility for our predicament too!<\/p>

It\u2019s safe to say I\u2019ve done my fair share of rehab. And, as a professional strength and conditioning coach, I've also screened hundreds of athletes in a wide variety of sports. <\/p>

Personally, I train in calisthenics<\/a> which puts a demand and intensity on my shoulders matched by few other sports or activities. As a result, I\u2019ve learned a lot about these very complicated joints and why they need special attention for me, for you, and for your clients.<\/span><\/p>
