Your shoulder pain might have a free solution. And it sounds almost too simple to be true.
Hanging from a bar.
According to Wolff's Law, you can actually change the shape of a bone based on the degree of mechanical loading. Dr. John Kirsch discovered that when you hang from a pull-up bar, you impose enough force to start reshaping a bone in your shoulder blade called the acromion.
Years of bad posture and the weight of our arms literally HOOK this bone, and it pinches everything in your shoulder when you raise your arms overhead.
In his research, 90 out of 92 patients avoided surgery just by hanging consistently. That is a 98% success rate. And it costs zero dollars!
Now here is the catch. You need to hang for longer than a minute to see real benefits. If you cannot hang that long yet, start with your feet still on the ground, sink into it, and build from there.
Shout out to Scott Bailey for this incredible breakdown. Give him a follow if you want to move better and feel better in your body.
