The shoulder is a “ball-and-socket” joint made up of the upper arm bone (humerus), shoulder blade (scapula) and collarbone (clavicle). This joint is the most flexible one in the body and allows for a full range of motion -- however, this flexibility also makes the shoulder a common source of injury and instability.
Pain and loss of motion in the shoulder can put you on the bench from sports, work, and even your daily life.
