What activities?: What activities cause the shoulder to hurt? Often an initial small pain or injury can cause one 2 hold the shoulder in a guarded position. This position becomes the starting point for future movements which, because of the abnormal starting position, are abnormal in character, leading 2 more wear and tear. Rehab must focus on getting the sholdr muscles to work as a unit from proper start postn.
