Shoulder tightness can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'troubling' to 'needs attention'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose shoulder tightness, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Hypoglycemia | 95% | Confirm |
EFA Need | 23% | Unlikely |
Poor Musculoskeletal Health | 1% | Ruled out |
Do you feel tightness across the shoulders?
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know→ Yes, occasional minor tightness → Yes, often minor tightness / sometimes major → Yes, frequent major tightness |
Poor musculoskeletal health can lead to problems in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and joints, and in the associated tissue that allows free movement.
