Texas1836 posteposteded:15 year-old, periodically when hitting, will have a sharp pain in his non-dominant shoulder that will shut him down for about 10 minutes, then he can hit again, though not as freely since he will involuntarily protect. From some research I figured subluxation and after evaluation, Ortho agreed.
Ortho says to continue band work and other off-season strengthening, especially back muscles (he uses Crossover Symmetry) and limit hitting to every other day. Possibility of a small nick in the labrum. He will follow the docs advice.
If any of you have experience with this, I would like to hear how it worked out. Thanks
This is not replacing medical treatment and PT for the shoulder but consider a two handed finish. The one handed finish can be hard on the shoulder if it is already unstable.
He still needs to see a doc and work on it but the two handed finish can take a bit of stress off the labrum.
