THE SHOULDERS
We’re kickstarting our Bulletproof series with the most mobile joint in your body, the shoulder. Unlike your hip joint, which we’ll cover later in the series, the socket in your shoulder is super-shallow; your arm is literally held in place by a couple of ligaments and surrounding muscles. It’s thanks to this high degree of mobility that we can reach up and grab the last box of Cheerios on the top shelf in the supermarket. It’s also what makes the shoulder joint very injury-prone.
