Understanding Shoulder Anatomy

A great tip for you to get to grips with your shoulder condition is to learn about shoulder anatomy. We have a saying in osteopathy – structure governs function. Learning about the make-up of the shoulder will allow you a better understanding of the function of the working components of the shoulder.

When you know about the shoulder, you can better understand shoulder pathology (i.e. the causes of shoulder pain). Applied knowledge is power. Armed with this information, you can more easily chat to your doctor or physiotherapist about your shoulder pain, how it should be treated, and how to manage the problem.
