How to Avoid a Shoulder Injury

No one wants to injure their body, but there are certain things that you are doing that could result in you needing shoulder surgery. To help prevent a trip to the shoulder surgeon, take a few moments to look over the following items that could help you to reduce these risks.

Perhaps the most important thing you can do is to warm up properly before you plan on doing anything that will involve the use of your shoulders.
