Super old but helpful video, could you comment on what the treatment is for this? I believe I have it and it's pretty much ruining my life.

Wouldn't it be better with a counter grip to stabilize the acromion (for ex. under the armpit) ?

[khaskhleikhaskhlei]

This test should not increase the pain ?

Guys... video 20 and 21 in this shoulder assessment playlist are unavailable? Is that an error or something that needs to be purchased?
