If your shoulder hurts, check your posture
Shoulder pain is mainly caused by round shoulders and shoulder asymmetry. When shoulders roll forward, the rotator cuff is strained. When one shoulder is higher, the trapezius over-tenses.
Posture Causes
Reaching arms forward at a computer, carrying bags on one shoulder, and resting chin on one arm are common causes. Chest muscles shorten and back muscles weaken, gradually rolling shoulders forward.
