5. Muscle Weakness
When it comes to shoulder bursitis, simple muscle weakness or a low amount of muscle coordination can cause shoulder bursitis to develop. People who spend a lot of their time sitting and who do not get enough exercise can experience muscle weakness. This happens because the muscles are not being worked enough. When we do not do anything to strengthen the muscles they will become weaker over time.
As the muscles become weak, there are many health issues that may arise. This includes inflammation and issues with the joints. When the muscles surrounding the shoulder become weak it leaves the area more prone to injury. A slight bump or extended use of the muscles can cause inflammation in the area. This inflammation can cause a person to experience the pain and other symptoms that are associated with shoulder bursitis. Exercising can improve muscle strength and reduce the risk of shoulder bursitis developing.
