Whether you’re a competitive or a recreational swimmer, chances are you’ve experienced swimmer’s shoulder to a certain degree. Despite its low-impact nature, swimming injuries can still occur due to overuse and poor stroke technique.
In swimming, the shoulder is the most commonly affected joint when it comes to injuries. Shoulder injuries may include inflammation of the biceps tendon, shoulder instability, and rotator cuff impingement. The rotator cuff tendon connects your shoulder muscles to the top of your arm. In rotator cuff impingement, the shoulder blade puts too much pressure into the tendon when the arm is lifted while swimming, particularly during freestyle.
If you’ve been swimming for a while as a professional or just for fitness, the Plancher Orthopedics team would like to hear from you! We can create a program that will help prevent swimmer’s shoulder and other swimming injuries. Call 646.760.3579 to set up an appointment today!
