Pain from the most mobile joint in your body |
Did you know that your shoulder is the most mobile
joint in your body?
Your shoulder has a
wide range of movement because of the ball-and-socket
joint of the main shoulder, while there is a smaller
joint where the top of the shoulder blade connects
with the collarbone. The small joint contact area
also means that your shoulder is fairly unstable
and is dependent on your shoulder muscles for normal
functioning.
In this issue, we look at shoulder
pain, the causes and management of shoulder pain,
and how physiotherapy can assist in alleviating
this condition.
All the best,
