Causes of Shoulder Pain
While there are several possible causes of shoulder pain, some of the most common culprits are linked to muscle weakness or imbalances, poor posture and alignment, and improper movement patterns. Here are some of the most common causes of shoulder pain:
1. Poor Posture
Excessive screen time has many of us slouched over with forward-rounded shoulders, which puts extra stress on the shoulder joint and also contributes to muscle weaknesses, overuse, and imbalances over time.
2. Muscle Imbalances and Weakness
Shoulder pain is often a result of lifestyle choices and poor posture and muscle imbalances can cause recurring pain. Learn how to reduce muscle imbalances and weaknesses by aligning your body and scooping your shoulder blades (one of the key movements we teach in our program).
3. Overuse and Injury
Athletes and active individuals who perform repetitive movements with their shoulders are at a higher risk of developing shoulder pain. Address the root causes of this pain to ensure proper movement patterns to help restore shoulder function over time.
Shoulder injuries such as the following can impact your shoulder mechanics leading to discomfort, limited function, and chronic pain:
-
Shoulder impingement
-
Rotator cuff injuries
-
SLAP tears
Address the root causes of shoulder pain to reduce pain and learn how to properly align your shoulders to keep that pain at bay with MoveU.
Shoulder Pain Treatment
Shoulder pain treatments should address postural issues and alignment to reduce pain long-term. You want to address poor spinal alignment and shoulder blade positioning before you get shoulder pain - or before your shoulder pain gets worse.
Shoulder pain is often a result of muscle imbalances and postural issues due to lifestyle choices (like lack of movement, poor mind-muscle awareness, or bad posture), so prevention is a key component to treating shoulder pain.
If you want to prevent shoulder pain before it becomes a chronic issue or address the underlying causes of your shoulder pain to get rid of it for good. Here are the 5 Best Exercises for Shoulder Impingement.

How the MoveU Shoulder Program Helps Fix Shoulder Pain
Many medical and therapeutic treatments focus on symptom relief rather than addressing the root cause of shoulder pain. While massages can help relax muscles, they do not correct movement patterns.
Physical therapy often falls short of developing the long-term strength and stability needed for lasting recovery. Painkillers merely mask discomfort, allowing underlying issues to persist and even surgery, though sometimes necessary, does not always prevent recurrence without proper movement retraining.
The MoveU Shoulder Program goes beyond symptom management to target the root cause of shoulder issues—poor shoulder blade control and movement - also known as scapular dyskinesis. Rather than relying on surgery, painkillers, or endless physical therapy, this program provides a proven method to restore proper mobility and long-term shoulder health.
“My shoulder has improved immensely and my awareness has totally changed. I know now that I have the tools to address so many issues on my own. I am not yet backpacking but I am making progress, and am now much more confident in my ability to assess and address these bumps in the road. This experience has turned into a lifestyle. The hope and the joy is back. Thank you MoveU!” - A.K.
FAQ About Shoulder Pain
What Is the Main Cause of Shoulder Pain?
One of the primary causes of shoulder pain is poor shoulder blade control and movement, which can cause winged scapula or scapular dyskinesis. This can lead to muscle imbalances, instability, and poor movement patterns, which can contribute to shoulder impingement, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic pain. Addressing scapular control is key to long-term shoulder health.
Does Shoulder Pain Go Away?
Shoulder pain can go away, but its resolution depends on the underlying cause, severity, and the approach taken to address it. The best way to achieve long-term relief is through corrective movement, strength training, and mobility work rather than relying solely on passive treatments like rest, painkillers, or massage.
What Exercise Is Best for Shoulder Pain?
The best exercises for shoulder pain focus on improving shoulder blade control (scapular stability) and restoring proper shoulder movement patterns.
By consistently doing these exercises, which we go over in our program, you can correct movement dysfunctions, build strength, and relieve shoulder pain without relying on temporary fixes.
What Not to Do with Shoulder Pain?
If you have shoulder pain, we don’t recommend the following:
- Relying on painkillers for long-term relief.
- Ignoring it.
- Slouching or refusing to fix postural issues.
- Pushing through pain.
- Complaining and then not doing anything about it.
How Long Is Too Long for Shoulder Pain?
If your shoulder pain lasts longer than 2 to 3 weeks, gets worse, or is accompanied with limited functionality, you should not ignore it!
Can Tennis Elbow Cause Shoulder Pain?
Yes, tennis elbow can give you shoulder pain, although it typically affects the elbow and forearm. You could get shoulder pain from repetitive overuse of your arm(s).
Can Poor Posture Cause Shoulder Pain?
Yes, poor posture can definitely cause shoulder pain. When your posture is misaligned, it places undue stress on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around your shoulders, leading to discomfort and dysfunction.
How Should You Sleep if You Have Shoulder Pain?
Sleeping with shoulder pain can be challenging, so we recommend finding the position that works best for you. Avoid sleeping on the shoulder causing you pain and try to sleep on your side with pillows to support proper body alignment.
