Physical Therapy for Swimmer's Shoulder

Swimmer's shoulder is a condition which commonly affects the tendons and tissues surrounding the shoulder girdle. The tendons in the shoulder become inflamed and swollen, pressing on nearby bones, muscles or other tendons. Swimmer’s shoulder is sometimes called shoulder impingement, subacromial impingement or painful arc.

Symptoms of Swimmer's Shoulder

• Muscle weakness or fatigue
• Reduced range of motion
• Shoulder instability
• Shoulder pain

Causes of Swimmer's Shoulder

• Rotator cuff injury
• Shoulder instability
• Bone spurs
• Labral injury
• Disease of the tendon
• Osteoarthritis

A Physical Therapy program is often a beneficial and necessary treatment for recovering from a swimmer's shoulder.  The physical therapist can stretch and massage your rotator cuff muscles manually since they can be hard to reach. This releases tension and helps prevent further irritation.
