Shoulder

Your Shoulders. Our Specialty.

Shoulders provide the greatest range of motion of all the joints in the body. However, shoulders are also known as the least stable joints because they sit upon the shoulder blade, which is a moving platform. In the case of shoulders, instability is essential to their primary function of equipping arms with the ability to move in any direction. Complex and well-coordinated, shoulders also supply arms and hands with the support, strength and stability necessary to lift, push and pull objects.
