What Causes Pain In The Shoulder Joint? Is It Really A Swimmer Problem?
Swimmer’s shoulder is a common caused by repetitive use of the shoulder joint. It is most common in athletes who swim, especially freestyle and backstroke swimmers. The condition can also be caused by:
- Bony changes that cause tightness or weakness in surrounding muscles.
- Overuse injuries to tendons or ligaments that surround and support the shoulder joint.
