An occupational therapist’s job is to restore a person’s ability to perform daily tasks as independently as possible. These tasks include basic activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs). Surgery, arthritis, or a stroke can create changes in the amount of available movement in joints such as the shoulder joint. Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion, a widely taught theory and physics lesson, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which applies to the movements of the human body. For example, when one muscle is weak, the opposite muscle might become too tight, causing pain. Compensatory techniques, such as hiking the shoulder to keep the arm close to the body in an effort to reduce pain, often causes muscle imbalance, and consequently, increased pain. With compensatory techniques, involving shoulder movement, the muscle at the chest (called the pectoralis major) often begin to tighten causing the muscles around the shoulder blade to become weak.
