I've seen quite a few clients recently all with shoulder problems caused by hip flexor weakness. When I get them doing exercises to relax or strengthen the shoulder area, their pain gets worse and they feel no improvement. When I changed tack to get their hip flexors firing (hip flexor dysfunction is probably the biggest root cause of most chronic pain issues - people simply don't realise that their hip flexors don't work at all), the shoulder releases off. We can then mobilise and strengthen the shoulder area without their being ramifications, as we have tackled the dysfunction, not just jumped in at where the symptoms present. Chase the dysfunction, not the symptom.
