Shoulder injuries are perhaps amongst the most complex of sports injuries. As the most heavily stressed joint in the sport, it is prevalent amongst competitive swimmers and water-polo players. Managing and preventing shoulder injuries are critical components in high performance training. Back2Sports is organizing a seminar to shed some light on this complex area for swimmers and water-polo players with an overview of the type of shoulder injuries, preventative and recovery measures available.

The seminar, “Swimmers’ Shoulders”, will provide an overview of the types of injuries amongst swimmers and water-polo players, its management and prevention. The three topics covered are:

  2. Management and Prevention of Shoulder Injuries by Mr. Calvin Sim, a Senior Physiotherapist from Back2Sports

  3. Surgical Intervention for Shoulder Injuries by Dr Lim Jit Kheng, a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon from Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Surgery.
