when i do that, I feel pain all at the front of my shoulder and all down the back of my arm, tricep area, what could that mean? feels very uncomfortable

Thanks for the video. Is it better to do an MRI with contrast to show the tear clearly?

What if you can’t get your arm up to your shoulder as you show here in this demonstration

How do you test if there is tightness/ trigger points in the subscapularis?

Or is it only a matter of palpation

Feel like a lot of these tests are giving me false negatives.. accuracy cant be very high
