The scapula (shoulder blade) is often considered to be the foundation (or base of support) for the soft-tissue structures of the upper body.
Seventeen important muscles attach to the scapula, and shoulder dysfunctions can occur whenever there are restrictions, injuries or imbalances in any of these muscles.
- The subject of shoulder injuries can become very complex when you begin to consider the inter-actions between all the structures attached to the scapulae.
- Add to this an ever increasing complexity when we consider each muscles antagonists, synergists, fascial connections, and neurological enervation.

5 年Always love the shoulder. Way more complex than most are aware of and it’s not just about the rotator cuff.

5 年The “shoulder” aka STGHJ scapulothoracic glenohumeral ‘joint’ is more affected by functional gamma-gain than any other ‘joint’ in the body due to the mass of the pendulous arm, Plus... it must be able to take up slack, bear load, reach, circumduct and play the fiddle! I love talking about this joint with my patients, and it is really easy to treat. The shoulder is truly a gift to humanity!
