Personal Account: Labrum Tear Rehabilitation


It is called one of the most fearsome injuries in baseball. It has often been called a career ender. The slow knife to the shoulder. The list goes on, but the main thing is the labrum tear can derail a pitchers career.. Different from the more popular tommy john surgery. A torn shoulder labrum deals with torn tissue surrounding the humeral shoulder head. This tear limits a pitchers range of motion and can often cause a significant amount of pain and loss of strength during the throwing motion. Before I dive into my personal experience and personal rehab account, let it be known that I am not a certified physical therapist or doctor. I am just a guy who wants to present current knowledge on the topic and give athletes a means for rehab post surgery.
