The painful arc is one of the easiest yet most indicative tests we do to screen for shoulder issues. Watch as Jack talks you through the process.
1️⃣ Stand in front of a mirror
2️⃣ Raise your arm out to the side with your elbow straight, aiming to get it alongside your ear
3️⃣ Note the angle at which you feel any pain, discomfort or stiffness in the shoulder region
4️⃣ If it’s between 90 and 120 degrees, it’s a positive painful arc test which could be an indicator of:
👉🏻 Shoulder joint impingement
👉🏻 Rotator cuff issues
👉🏻 Frozen shoulder
👉🏻 or a range of other shoulder issues
If you’re getting shoulder problems, you know who to call.
