The structure of the shoulder complex is designed to provide stability and a wide range of motion. It consists of a number of bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and a fibrous joint capsule. Shoulder pain can become acute or chronic if any of these components become swollen, weak, or damaged.
Some causes are obvious, like a recent sports injury, a pulled shoulder while exercising, or an existing health condition like shoulder arthritis. However, referred pain, a condition in which an injury to another part of the body, typically the neck or biceps, is the cause of shoulder pain, is not always the result of a problem in the shoulder joint itself.
We see a lot of clients here at SJ Sports Therapy who are suffering with shoulder pains and injuries.
