Anatomy In Focus: Shoulder Ligaments, Labrum, and Bursae

Formative Haptics Center
Denver, CO

Share this event:

The ligaments of the shoulder support this key joint and are especially important during weight-bearing activities. The shoulder ligaments and the labrum and bursae associated with them provide critical support when healthy, and pain and limitations when injured.
Understanding this anatomy is beneficial for anyone who wants to get more enjoyment and satisfaction from activities involving movements of the shoulder. Plus, learning more about these elements can help prevent some common shoulder injuries, including bursitis and ligament tears.
Participants will re-create all of the functioning parts from colored clay applied to a detailed, realistic plastic model. Building in this way is an active learning process that is both engaging and informative. Included within the workshop is a movement session using exercises and stretches that focus on the ligaments that are being made!
