“Is the Shoulder Joint the Weakest Joint In the Body?”

By Nate Rifkin


If you think about it, the shoulder joint is the most weak and flimsy in the entire body.

It is a ball-and-socket joint, which is a weak design in the first place. And the ligaments that attach your upper arm to your scapula are very small.

In fact, if you have ever looked at a diagram of the shoulder joint, you would see that the upper arm might as well be completely separate from the rest of the body. It is not much of an exaggeration to say your arms are pretty much hanging off of your torso by a couple tiny ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

So why was it designed like this?

I'll show you. Straighten your arms right now and start rotating them. Do not do this if you experience pain. And if you do, head on over to http://www.stopshoulderpain.com right now. Notice how flexible your shoulder joint is. Notice how far you can make your arm go from one direction to the other.

Now, try to do the same with your hip joint, which is one of the strongest in your body.

Not so easy, huh?

What your shoulder joints lack in strength they more than make up for in flexibility.

So this means the burden of keeping them strong is on you.
