I had an experience where a client could raise the left arm higher than the right arm, however he felt that the left arm was easier (more pain in the left shoulder). So, while deciding the good vs the bad side, is ROM more important than the good vs. bad feeling? 2. What might a person experience in case he or she exercises the bad side by mistake? Thank you, Amit

What will always be the answer is the painful side is the bad side, no matter the motion. If a person does the bad side by mistake they typically experience either more pain or tightness on the bad side, and/or issue increases. Keep up the good work, Tom
