Swimming Injuries
Swimming is a fantastic sport that combines all body strength,
flexibility and endurance. Swimmers are unfortunately prone to overuse
injuries affecting the shoulder, neck, lower back and knees.
Prevention is the Key!
It has been shown that advanced core
control, scapular control and rotator cuff strength are three essential
qualities the injury-free swimmer possesses. There are, of course, numerous
other causes of injury including technique, endurance, fatigue and
flexibility to name just a few.
Your injury rehabilitation should be a combined effort between your coach, physiotherapist and remedial massage therapist.
