Unfortunately shoulder injuries and dislocations are one of the more common injuries for snowboarders. When I first saw this patient he had the most awkwardly fitting cloth sling provided to him by the hospital. I gave him a much more comfortable sponge arm sling, by Neo G. His treatment included passive joint mobilisation, deep tissue release to relieve his neck stiffness, kinesio taping and a scapular stabilisation program. Following intensive daily physiotherapy, this patient showed rapid improvement in pain levels and shoulder mobility. To make an appointment for any new or old injuries, call Karine at Peak Physiotherapy 07043270117.
