Experts say that the upper extremities can assume more than 1,600 positions – all centered in the complex area in and around the shoulder joint. It’s no wonder that shoulder injuries account for the largest percentage of sports-related injuries. The shoulder blade, collar bone, and shoulder joint connect to the muscle groups to do all the work of stretching, pulling, pushing, punching, lifting, throwing, swimming, and more.
