I would think it would be logical to improve shoulder extension. How do you determine who needs extra shoulder mobility vs those who don't?

[@Mikereinold]

It's all based on looking at them as a whole, look at their ROM, joint mobility, soft tissue mobility, etc. I would say extension is not a movement that we focus on much. It's the end range of motion, one that isn't used much during functional activities. I don't think you ignore it if obviously limited, but I wouldn't force extra extension ROM.
