SHOULDER
SHOULDER
Your shoulder is made up of the shoulder blade (scapula), the collarbone (clavicle), and the upper arm bone (humerus). The shoulder is also surrounded by several soft tissue structures including tendons, ligaments and bones.
The shoulder joint tends to refer to your glenohumeral joint which connects the arm to your body. This joint is very unstable alone and requires the structures around to be strong to make sure it stays in place and is stable.
Good shoulder function is important for normal day-to-day activities and sporting activities. Recent years have brought many advances in the understanding of shoulder pain and lots of new treatment techniques and surgical procedures have become available however, the shoulder is a very complex joint and it can be difficult to diagnose what exactly is causing your symptoms.
Your physiotherapist can carry out a full assessment to determine what is causing your symptoms and what underlying condition you have.
