Cars and shoulders don’t mix!

Ever had that moment when you need to reach for something in the back seat of the car?
Grabbing your handbag/briefcase, reaching for one of the kids toys or attempting to wrestle the ipad off them?
Think twice, as this type of movement places a significant amount of strain on your shoulder girdle, placing you at considerable risk of injury.
One of the common problems that can happen is the rotator cuff tendons can get pinched between 2 key bones of the shoulder – the humerus and the acromium (front part of the shoulder blade), creating what is commonly known as ’impingement syndrome’.
