Shoulder Pain
Normal shoulder function is essential for many daily activities and sports. Our shoulders can get into over 15,000 positions based on combinations and as such are susceptible to injury. There is a high prevalence of shoulder injuries in the general population triggered by tasks requiring overhead reaching, heavy lifting or repetitive use of the upper limb.
Shoulder injuries are extremely common and cross the sporting and non-sporting population. There are numerous structures and/or conditions of the shoulder joint that can cause pain.
