What is shoulder injury (in swimming) and how do you get it?

The most common shoulder injury for swimmers is called impingement syndrome. It is an over use injury caused by repetitive over the head shoulder motions. Like typist getting carpal tunnel syndrome in their wrist. The tendons of the affected portion of the rotator cuff get pinched over and over again between the anterolateral acromion and the greater tuberosity. This causes inflammation which causes pain. Continued impingement can cause damage to the rotator cuff tendons. The distances swimmers travel during a single practice will vary but many competitive swimmers will swim over 5000 meters a day before hitting their taper. If strokes are done correctly and varied most shoulder injuries can be avoided.

I dislocated my shoulder in the pool the first time it was dislocated. I didn't know at the time that it is a rather common injury in swimming. It was hard to get to the surface. I dislocated it on the first pull off the bottom after I dived off a 3 m board. Ir is impossible to get out of the pool by yourself from the ladder, with one good arm.

Along with injured rotatorcuffs-swimmers also injure their deltoids very easily. A pain in the back of your shoulder and having trouble lifing your ar up without pain are symptoms of an injured deltoid.

even as i replaced into youthful my basically right pal had a trampoline and he continuously surprised me via all those fancy flips he ought to do, so being aggressive i tried to do them too. i replaced into getting authentic cocky and did a turn, yet landed on my neck. i could not talk for a good ten minutes and cried because i assumed I had damaged it. yet over again i replaced into getting my eyebrows waxed for the first day of faculty and the female had heated the wax too a lot so even as she rubbed all of it below my eyebrows it burnt my epidermis and that i had to stroll round with pink scabs above my eyes for the first week of highschool :/ I nevertheless flinch questioning about it.

bicepital tendonitus

-the muscles are stronger in one place then the other and it pulls the shoulders forward....

-exercises are supposed to help but (they don't for me)

-surgery is needed sometimes

over extention strains the muscles sorta like sore belly muscles from sit ups

hum mm....possible tearing of the rotater cuff or dislocated shoulder.

IF YOU GET HIT BY A WALL THAT WILL MAKE injury

rotator cuff when it pops out its very painful

not stretching beforehand...i'm a backstroker, so i work my shoulders hard.
