    I can tell you that I did these exercises and became aware of my posture by tucking my pelvis, lifting my shoulders and dropping them into the pockets throughout the day and within two days my shoulder blades are now even. Your daily posture is definitely the clue.

    I felt tight and noticed my dominant hands shoulder was lower than the other. Found this video and it made sense. After a day at work (desk job) focusing on my posture, I was able to pinpoint where my pain was coming from. I was able to lay back over my foam roller, take a deep breath in and release with a deep pop and sense of relief! My pain was instantly gone and my shoulders are even! Amazing!

My shoulders have been uneven for years and I've watched several vids by other people but they only mention the tight trap raising 1, which isn't my issue. My right shoulder is dominant and it is lower and when I work out it affects numerous of my muscles. ex: my right lateral delt is larger than my left, but my right trap and pec are smaller than my left.

    I'm right handed and my left shoulder/trap is really overdeveloped compared to the other. I've had pain from this every since childhood. Gets excruciating if I sit down and work at a desk for too long. I was taking piano lessons from elementary to high school, and it would often get excruciating to practice due to my left shoulder, and I was put off practice due to that. Finally I have an explanation (and hopefully a fix).
