    I’ve only been a couple times, but it seems to be helping. The problem is probably posture and keeping it in place.

    So you found that cleaning up your ankle ROM helped your hip, and thus helped upstream? I’ve done plenty of mobility in the past… gotta get back on it I guess.

    I’ve never really seemed to fix the problem. I think my posture and due to the fact I sit all day doing web development doesn’t help.

    So you figure it is spine related?  I know my scap doesnt move as smoothly on the left side.

    So you think its a problem with the left side of my spine which affects both left shoulder and left hip?
    Should I be attacking the low back/ql, or thoracic?  It seems impossible to attack everything. 
    I usually do my mobility in the evenings.  You say multiple times per day?  So in the morning and evening?  I know sometimes I lay around on a ball for an hour just finding all the rough spots.

    This does sound quite like me.  It does feel like my one shoulder’s strength is a lot lower so can’t just be motor control.

    How do you keep yourself in line motor control wise?  I know pretty much all cue’s for proper shoulder position but doesn’t mean I am doing them perfect.  I guess that is the need for a coach?

    Generally this happens under 2 conditions:

    1. I fall on an outstretched hand. Can be an innocent fall.
    2. My shoulder gets up mid range when rubbing an opponent out.

    Its not from big hits or shooting.

    Hey David, #2 might just become my favorite mob yet.  I can definitely feel it freeing up my hip.

    I dont think Kstar has ever really featured one quite like that has he?

    So seems like the answer is more of the same.

    I do a lot of the anterior hip mobs because I know sitting so long causes havoc.

    I have at times felt a bit of a burning sensation when doing the anterior hip lunge in the left side

    David which are your favorite internal rotation mobilizations?

    For me the hips and hip extension seems key. Also thoracic mobility but it could be because I sit at a desk a lot

    Hey mike I am addressing a similar issue. I have found these cues help.

    1. First movement should be to hip hinge and tilt torso forward a bit.
    2. Drive knees out keeping butt on
    3. As you continue lowering raise your torso and keep chest up.
    Anyone else have better cues? I have to fight not to overextend. The key is to have tension in the hamstrings so they don’t go all wonky

    I have same problem that I can’t fix.  Does that mean the weight is just too heavy?

    I have a similar type of shoulder instability that I just haven’t seem to be able to fix using mobility alone.  Massaging it with a lacrosse ball seems to help but not totally alleviate the problem.

    I would suggest to attack the thoracic spine with the double lacross ball, barbell smash, along with an external rotator smash.


    Also you might want so pull your shoulder back with a band to reset position.

    Thanks for the advice kstar. It makes sense that the joint capsule is already loose so you don’t want to pull on it more.

    I most commonly injure it playing hockey and falling on an outstretched hand.

    I wonder is surgery is a viable option..
