Having broad shoulders and healthy ones
 


Nobody knows if Atlas, forced to bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders, had ever wondered about a cure for his pains… but this is certainly something that all people suffering from shoulder pain, caused by a variety of reasons, are asking about.

Shoulder joints are the most mobile in our body: they can complete a 360 degree rotation, if they are in good health. The appearance of trouble and pains often causes the person to limit shoulder and arm movements, which consequently leads to the progressive immobilization and loss of movement capacity.

 

Such immobilizations are known as: hypotonia of the related muscles, contractures at neck, shoulders and back which are due to work overload needed to compensate the movement deficiency.

   
 
Don’t ignore the pain, it is a warning sign sent by our body which must be listened to and understood.

 

   
 

The shoulder is similar to a crossroads of bones, muscles and tendons. It is constituted by the shoulder girdle complex, four communicating articulations connected by muscular fascia which regulate the mobility between the trunk and the upper limbs. This type of structure allows for greater mobility, but on the other side stability is more difficult to maintain, as these four joints (glenohumeral, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic) must work together to maintain a healthy balance. In fact, a lot of the shoulder related pathologies are concerned with the capsule, which has the function of maintaining stability, and the rotary cuff which is in charge of mobility. These types of pathologies often happen at a younger age (from 35 on) whereas degenerative processes such as osteoarthritis usually start to show after 60 years of age. Traumatic events such as fractures and damages strike all ages of people, often because of heavy sport and work activities.
