4. Posture
Remember when you were younger and your parents and grandparents stressed the importance of good posture. It turns out that they were right to do this. Poor posture is one of the causes of shoulder bursitis as well as many other joint-related issues. A person who hunches their shoulders regularly are decreasing the space located between the glenohumeral and acromion shoulder joints.
This makes it more likely that the tissue that is located in between these joints is being squeezed too much and this can cause them to become irritated. This irritation can lead to inflammation, which in turn can lead to pain and other symptoms that are associated with bursitis. One of the ways that you can reduce the risk of developing bursitis over time is to make sure that you practice good posture throughout your life. Sitting and standing up straight can go a long way when it comes to joint issues in the future.
