I treat many shoulder injuries in baseball/softball players, which are related to throwing. Shoulder tendonitis, muscle strains and joint sprains are the more common injuries. Why is my shoulder at risk of injury when throwing a ball? The shoulder has an incredible amount of mobility. Overhead activities, such as throwing, require high-speed muscle contractions and power while putting the shoul- der at the extremes of movement. How can I prevent a shoulder injury? - Include rotator cuff and shoulder blade exercises in your training - Avoid a rounded shoulder posture because it makes it easier for structures to get pinched and inflamed. - Gradually build up your distance and speed of throwing. - Have your coach watch your technique to see if there are any abnormalities. - Always warm up before you begin throwing. - If you have injured your shoulder and your symptoms do not resolve within three to four days, seek professional attention. Our Physiotherapists can provide you with a thorough assessment to evaluate the cause of your shoulder pain. The treatment we provide will often consist of manual or hands on therapy, specific throwing exercises and the use of pain relieving modalities. Physiotherapy is aimed at improving the strength and function of your injured shoulder in order to return you to your sport as soon as possible. Have a safe and happy baseball/softball season.
