12 Nov Wondering why your shoulder clicks when you move your arm in a certain direction  Or maybe you find that you get a sharp pain when your shoulder clicks as you reach for a cup of  coffee

The clicking in the shoulder with movement can be a result of the arm bone and shoulder blade rubbing together or the shoulder muscle tendon jumping over the arm bone or muscles and ligaments rubbing against the shoulder bones.

The clicking actually indicates that there is instability  in the shoulder joint as it is not aligned well during movement and not moving optimally due to poor muscle activation and control.

Shoulder instability  is a very common issue in the shoulder that occurs in both sedentary and sporting population. It is often because of past injuries, muscle imbalance and acute injuries (e.g. dislocations). 

If Shoulder Instability is not fixed and allowed to continue for long periods you can end up damaging  your shoulder joint further leading to a secondary problem, such as loss in shoulder movement and function, and worsening pain symptoms.
