Labrum Tears are Becoming All too Common

In a day and age when many athletes specialize in one sport, there are common injuries that are recurring in all sports. While leg injuries are common in basketball and football, shoulder injuries are all too common in baseball. Lake Country Physical Therapy & Sportscare can help aid in the rehabilitation of shoulder related injuries, including labral tears.

Like the hips, there is a labrum in both shoulders. Labrums are made up of tissue and are inside of the shoulder to provide cushion for the ball and socket joint. The natural movement of the shoulder is forward and backward but not a full rotation above the head. This makes the shoulder susceptible to injury while playing baseball because the throwing motion is unnatural. Many baseball players specialize in the sport at a very young age and play year-round to enhance their skills and try to be the best they can be. While this is good for skill level, the shoulder takes weekly wear and tear. Since the off-season is brief, the shoulder has little time to rest. Overuse can lead to tearing of the labrum which sometimes requires surgery and almost always needs physical therapy to heal.

The professionals at Lake Country Physical Therapy & Sportscare can help in regaining strength after a labrum injury. The highly skilled physical therapists will tailor a therapy program around a patient’s specific needs and aim to have his or her normal activities resumed as soon as possible. Through various physical therapy practices, the patient will receive top of the line treatment from consummate professionals.
