Hi dougt, Thanks for the recap. You remembered correctly and I will add that one of the culprits is a rotator cuff muscle, specifically the subscapularis, in conjunction with the pectoralis (chest) muscle and the lattisimus dorsi (large back muslce). Since your pecs and your lats work together to keep the joint open for arm movement, as they attach similarly on the arm bone for movements across and behind the torso small alignment imbalances do not allow the rotator cuff muscles to adequately perform and impingements on the nerves insue. It's a little circumspect without doing some mind kinesthetic testing but I will be on later today and post some exercises that will let you isolate and replicate these movements under controlled conditions, yes that's the exercise segment purpose, with the goal of allowing the body to begin to renegotiate the agonist and antagonistic relationship during a golf swing. It doesn't happen immediately but within a few weeks you should begin to see some improvements. Vickie
