Experiencing a clicking sound in your shoulder when you move it in certain directions
Wondering what’s causing that clicky sound in your shoulder that sometimes hurts
Here are 3 Common Causes for a Clicky Shoulder
1. Poor Shoulder Blade Position. This is when the shoulder blade is sitting too high or too low or winging away from the trunk, caused by poor posture. 
When the shoulder blade is not in the optimal position, it can cause compression of the soft tissue structures in the Shoulder Joint when you move your arm up or out away from your body. This is when you hear and feel the “clicking” in your shoulder and occasional pain.
2. Stiff Thoracic Spine. If you have a hunched upper back due to constant poor posture sitting at the desk, 
it can lead to a stiff upper to mid back. A stiff upper to mid back spine in turns affects your shoulder joint position, making the shoulder more rolled forward. So when you move your arm up or out away from your body, the soft tissue structures are compressed in your shoulder joint, causing the “clicking” sensation and pain in your shoulder.
3. Muscle Imbalance. If there is weakness in some muscles around the front and back of the shoulder, it can influence the way your shoulder joint moves when you lift your arm up or out away from your body. As a result, soft tissue structures in the shoulder joint are compressed with movement, which causes the clicking sensation in your shoulder.
