Swimmers have significant susceptibility to shoulder injuries due to the involvement of the shoulders required for various strokes and the high volume of repetitions required during training. Swimmer’s shoulder is a term that can represent numerous shoulder pathologies. These include impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tendinitis, labral injuries, ligamentous laxity or muscle imbalance causing instability, muscular dysfunction, and neuropathy from nerve entrapment. Interprofessional team members must be able to differentiate between these different etiologies. This activity describes the pathophysiology, etiology, presentation, and management of a swimmer’s shoulder and stresses the role of team-based interprofessional care for affected patients.
