Shoulder pain is another big issue and it is definitely not something to take lightly. The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body and very vulnerable due the unstable range of motion. The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint which allows for the wide range of motion. There are many causes of shoulder pain, but the one of the most common causes is arthritis.
Arthritis is the breakdown, or wearing out, of cartilage in the joints. The result of this is joint pain and stiffness. Preventing this issue is almost inevitable, but through proper exercise and medication you can decrease the severity.
Another common injury is a direct blow that may separate or dislocate the shoulder. Although these are very different injuries, they are both very painful and the healing process is lengthy. Rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and light rehab are the main treatments for these injuries.
A torn rotator cuff is yet one more common injury. This injury occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff seperate from the bone and it is very painful. Surgery is the main treatment for this injury.
Below are a few exercises to help strengthen the shoulder to prevent injuries:
