Common Swimming Injuries Often Avoidable
Date:7/23/2011

SATURDAY, July 23 (HealthDay News) -- Swimming may be easy on the joints, but it can be tough on the shoulders.

The most common injury among those who practice the sport is called swimmer's shoulder, which affects up to 70 percent of competitive swimmers, said Dr. Scott A.

"Changes in the way the muscles work due to overload or fatigue can alter shoulder mechanics and cause problems," said Rodeo in a hospital news release.

When the shoulder isn't working properly, pain may result. To minimize the risk of shoulder injury from swimming, experts recommend the following:

  • Avoid swimming when very tired, sick, cold or overheated.
  • Warm up.
  • Focus on proper swimming techniques.
  • Supplement swimming with weight training and a general exercise routine to build muscle strength, endurance, balance and flexibility.

Swimmers who develop shoulder pain should address the problem early on to prevent more serious harm, noted Rodeo. Take a break from swimming so the shoulder can rest and avoid strokes and exercises that exacerbate the pain, he advised.

Also, use ice and anti-inflammatory medication as needed, and as pain improves, ret
