The shoulder joint is the most flexible joint in your body. This shoulder joint is surrounded by four muscles known as the rotator cuff. It allows movement of the arm in almost every direction such as in front, above, to the side, and behind your body. This flexibility makes your shoulder susceptible to instability and injury. When there is damage to any of the structures in the shoulder, movement becomes difficult and painful.
