The Movement Driven Podcast: Shoulder Pain Explained
Greg Goldberger • November 19, 2025
The shoulder is the most mobile, and misunderstood, joint in the body. Learn how posture, stability, and mobility all work together to keep it healthy, strong, and pain-free.
Your shoulders do it all: from overhead lifts and daily tasks to carrying the weight of your workouts. But when pain, tightness, or pinching start to show up, it can throw off your entire movement routine.
In this episode of The Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg Goldberger breaks down why the shoulder is one of the body’s most complex and vulnerable joints, how your posture and thoracic spine play a major role in shoulder health, and what really causes that pinching sensation overhead.
Learn how scapular control, mobility, and stability all work together to keep your shoulders strong, pain-free, and ready to perform. This episode kicks off our Shoulder Series, designed to help you understand, diagnose, and overcome shoulder pain through movement and mobility.
Key Topics:
- Why shoulder anatomy makes it prone to injury
- The connection between your posture, spine, and shoulder mobility
- Common causes of shoulder pinching and tightness
- First steps to restore healthy, pain-free movement
