There are multiple shoulder muscles. They're called the deltoid muscles and consist of anterior which is in the front, lateral which is on the side and posterior which goes behind. All three enclose the shoulder joint.

The shoulder muscle is called the Deltoids, and can be pulled and strained very easily.

The deltoid is a three-headed muscle that caps the shoulder. The three heads are called the anterior, posterior, and the lateral.
