We have massage therapist Tony Poland on Fight Commentary Breakdowns to talk about the Shoulder Sphere and the Rotator Cuff. Let's learn from this sports massage and rehabilitation specialist about how to make our shoulders stronger and injury free. Like with all talks that involve the body and human anatomy, these are just general observations and thoughts from experts. Please always consult your own specialist and don't interpret these talks as intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any potential medical condition. Leave your questions for Tony too! We'll have him back!
