Thanks dsheri2...my question would be "why are the trigger points there in the first
- maybe the muscles are in a protective spasm for something like a stress fracture or labral tear?
- maybe he has a poor stabilisation strategyand the muscles are being used as stabilisers instead of movers
- maybe he has a motor pattern that overuses these muscles instead of other muscles
- maybe he has a neck problem causing scalenes, upper traps, levator scap, etc to overwork
- maybe the neck problem has a neural component
- maybe he really does have arotator cuff tear - rare in a 21y.o.
All these questions can be answered with a good assessment mhewiit
Cheers!

[B]My Philosophy:[/B]
The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.
