Surprising facts about shoulder injuries
- Many people think shoulder injuries are limited to serious athletes but unfortunately almost everyone will have trouble with their shoulder in their life (think; computers, phones, carrying babies or heavy objects).

- Not all pain from the shoulder is from the shoulder joint. We can get referral pain from the spine.
- It’s the most common injured joint of the body. Why? It’s very complex – connecting with the head, ribs, and spine. It also offers the most range of movement which is great when you are serving in tennis but with the least stability

- The problem is often, but not exclusively, down to the rotator cuff muscles – those muscles that work very hard to keep the shoulder stable.
- Good news is that shoulder injuries are highly treatable if addressed early. The earlier you seek treatment, the reduced risk of surgery.
- The highest number of shoulder injuries occur in post-menopausal women due to a hormonal link.
