Case 152 Asset 1 Quadrilateral Space Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brent DeGoyer, a physician in Moses Lake, Washington, explains that athletes with posterior shoulder pain, night pain, and deltoid or scapular muscle atrophy often have a history of throwing or other overhead activities. He says these cases often respond well to manual treatment. Using neuromusculoskeletal techniques such as muscle energy, deep tissue work, myofascial release, and deep inhibition, the goal is to reduce tightness, improve mobility, and assess for possible space-occupying lesions compressing the quadrilateral space, which can affect the axillary nerve and circumflex artery.
