What causes your shoulder joints to pop?

November 20th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am 47, have osteopenia and I am overweight. I have started a weight lifting and heathly eating program to try to regain a healthier body.

Sometimes it’s just what’s called shoulder instability.This is a weak rotator cuff system or overstretched connective tissue.Sometimes it is just cased by neglect but other factors that may cause this are injuries such as dislocation or subluxation.Doing exercises such as presses over your head,bench press or pull downs can put this joint at risk because of the way the joint is put together.Try backing off on any or all of these lifts and perform a number of rotator cuff exercises.

    I’ve been lifting weights for 22 years and studied martial arts for 7.I dislocated my shoulder very badly in a full contact match and I used these exercises to improve the functioality of the joint and strengthen it again.
