Shoulder Braces
Short Shoulder Primer
Your shoulder joint is composed of a trio of bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulder"s ability to move in a multi-directional circle makes it the most movable joint in your body. A healthy shoulder is held firmly in place by muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Put simply, the human shoulder is a many splendored thing, chock-full of aesthetic, mechanical and practical functionality.
There"s no excuse for shoulder abuse! Take care of your body"s most valued joint and it will take care of you.
