    Sorry, but this article is not about shoulder mobility. As Grey specifically says, we should assume that he has progressed to this exercise having done all the mobility correctives. 

    I wish that, since MOBILITY is such an integral part of the FMS system, more advice was given regarding how to develop/correct it. Even in the course/workshop, the mobility aspect is largely ignored. Would you please address this in future posts?

    It's not ONLY about shoulder mobility.  This article is just showing that once you've cleaned up the potential issues causing poor shoulder mobility, it's then time to add some static and dynamic stability drills in order to make the mobility just gained "functional".

    how do you distinguish between elbow pronation/supination and humeral internal/external rotation.

    Stewart,


    Elbow pronation / supination occurs at the radius and ulna. During pronation the radius rotates over the ulna. NO movement from the humerus. 

    Humeral internal / external rotation involves the humerus, ulna and radius rotating from the glenohumeral joint.
