ESWT's superior efficacy may be attributed to its greater energy release and cavitation effect, stimulating pain receptors and promoting tissue healing. Although no significant difference was found in functional scores, subjective evaluation favoured ESWT. 3/4

A recent study forecasts shoulder pain in competitive swimmers, with about 1/3 facing such pain. While needing refinement, this tool could be vital for therapists and trainers. 🧵1/4

The study emphasizes muscle endurance in guarding against injury. Better muscle stamina, gauged by the Posterior Shoulder Endurance (PSE) score, reduces shoulder pain risk. Strength training can help. 3/4
