A member asked:
I have a rotator cuff injury and am trying to improve my posture - how can i keep this top of mind?

Core exercises: A combined rehabilitation routine involving formal physical therapy for your rotator cuff as well as activities that improve your core muscles (yoga, pilates) will help with postural deficiencies.

Unrelated: More than likely your rotator cuff injury has little effect on your posture. If it is a large full thickness tear, then you may have developed some scapular movement problems as compensation for loss of cuff function. My guess is that with your young age, it is a partial thickness tear. These can often be successfully treated with rehab, which in your case should incorporate scapular exercise.
