Book SynopsisThe shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It enjoys an amazing range of motion; it can rotate 360 degrees and can extend upward, sideways, across the body, outward, inward, every which way. That makes it the most useful joint we have, and, not surprisingly, we use it the most. Lifting, pushing, pulling, throwing, catching, hugging: the shoulder experiences more motion than any other joint. So it is perhaps not surprising that, sooner or later, it becomes overtaxedfatigued. After all, as with anything, if you keep applying the same pressure over and over, the strength and stability of the structure being pressured will wear down. That's what happens to the shoulder, and when it does, it's not only painful; it can also stop you in your tracks, limiting your ability to do even simple things you're used to doing.The truth is that if you've never felt any kind of shoulder pain whatsoever, the chances are good that as you grow older, you will.
