Pinching within the shoulder is a common symptom that can develop with overhead movements. What is the cause of this? Well, there can be many contributing factors but one mechanism includes tightness in the front of the shoulder (i.e. pectoral muscles) and weakness in the back (i.e. rotator cuff, middle trap, lower trap). This can lead to translation of the humeral head pushing on bursa and tendons of the shoulder leading to pinching pain.
