It wasn't Continued on page 8 QUESTION: Telma, what is the most common injury in baseball and how can I prevent it? The most common complaint complaint from the baseball players who 'frequent my clinic is shoulder "problems". Specifically I treat a lot of ROTATOR CUFF strains. Think of the shoulder joint as a ball and. socket joint: the ball being the top of the arm (HUMERUS) and the GLENOID cavity is the shoulder shoulder socket. This is the most mobile joint in the body. Perhaps that is why athletes are apt to push it a little harder a lot longer. Throwing a baseball defi- . nitely puts stress on the shoulder joint and the supporting supporting musculature. When the shoulder is unable to tolerate this stress, injuries result. The rotator cuff is composed of four muscles that connect the SCAPULAR (shoulder blade) to the HUMÉRUS. The throwing throwing motion actually twists these muscles making them particularly particularly vulnerable. So how can you prevent baseball shoulder? A comprehensive strengthening and stretching program will go a long way. My prevention program includes strengthening for the biceps, triceps, chest and back muscles muscles as well as the shoulder muscles. Strong chest, back and arm muscles all help to take the strain off the shoulder muscles. Remember, too, that tight muscles are also more easily strained, so your stretching must include arm as well as back stretches. A cardiovascular cardiovascular program to build stamina and endurance is also essential essential for à good baseball season. It is never too late to start spring training. If you haven't had a shoulder complaint during during this season, take a few preventive preventive steps now. If you were prone to this problem in previous previous seasons, time is of the essence. Next winter, begin to think about another season of preventive medicine:, you need six weeks to be ready. A visit to your physiotherapist physiotherapist is another important component component of spring training. As an expert in movement (biomechanical) (biomechanical) analysis and exercise exercise prescription, the physiotherapist physiotherapist is. the best resource in building prevention into your training.
