Get ready to dive into shoulder biomechanics and learn how to make your joints unstoppable and injury-proof.About this Event
The highly repetitious overhead arm action of freestyle swimming puts enormous load on the human shoulder and neck.
Shoulder injuries are very prevalent amongst the endurance swimming population, often caused by both technique faults in the water and a lack of stability and strength on dry land.
"In this talk I will present the issues and propose some practical ways to build robust shoulders to allow us human fish to stay in the water as long as we like."
Jo McRae is a PT and S&C coach with a deep understanding of swimming. As an experienced swimming teacher and coach she has worked with adults and children from beginner to elite to raise the understanding of S&C on dry land, and to prevent injury and enhance performance.
