I was describing the stretches I do for my shoulder to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adrian_turtle, and demonstrating range of motion, and discovered something startling: I have better range of motion in my right shoulder—the one that was damaged and I did all the physical therapy for—than in the left.
It's not a huge difference: something like 170 degrees versus 180 or 185. And once noticed, it makes sense: one of my stretches is done specifically with the affected shoulder, so I've spent the last two years doing more to benefit that shoulder than the other.
So I just did that exercise with both shoulders. I want to keep doing so (it's easy to let these things slide), and get that full range of motion in both shoulders.
