The Origin of the Painful Shoulder and Neck: The Right BC Patterned Scapula

Shoulder and neck pain often involves the muscles of the trunk, scapula, and neck. In particular, the serratus and low trapezius, the SCM and the latissimus. The imbalances contained among these muscle groups causes strain throughout the body. As I explained in the last video, the origin of the imbalances are found in the inherent asymmetry of the human body, but in particular the asymmetrical function of our left and right diaphragm.

In the Right BC pattern, we know that the left diaphragm is no longer being used for respiration, and our center of mass is shifted to the right. As our center of mass continues to be shifted to the right, our entire right side begins to tighten. This tightening occurs because the Left AIC pattern prevents our pelvis from ever completely shifting to the left. When our body can't move to the left, the right side can't get a chance to ever fully decompress.

The picture of the right shoulder being pulled forward is a common postural distortion that occurs because of this Right BC and Left AIC patterning. It indicates the inability to use both diaphragms for respiration, instability through the left hip musculature, the inability to inflate the right lung, an unstable right scapula, and overactive right neck and latissimus muscles.
