There are surgical and non-surgical treatments for all types of shoulder injuries and conditions due to sports, ranging from exercises of the shoulder to total shoulder replacements.
The Function of Shoulder
Our daily activities heavily relied on our shoulders. Hence, they are prone to instability and injury. Our shoulder muscles are responsible for maintaining the widest range of motion of any joint in our body while also stabilising and guiding the shoulder and its movements. Other functions of the shoulder include:
- Allowing your arms to move up, down, forward, and backward
- Protects your shoulder joint
- Rotates your shoulder joint
- Holds the bones of your shoulder joint in place
