Swimming Injury Clinics in Halton Hills, Ontario
Swimmer's shoulder is the most common sports injury in the pool.
Swimmers perform thousands of shoulder rotations per training session — making shoulder impingement (swimmer's shoulder) the dominant injury in the sport. Breaststroke swimmers also develop medial knee pain (breaststroker's knee) from the whip kick. Lower back pain from butterfly and flip turns is also common. The best clinics for swimmers understand stroke mechanics and training volume, and can prescribe stroke-specific modifications during rehab.

FAQs — Swimming Injuries in Halton Hills
What is swimmer's shoulder and how is it treated?
Swimmer's shoulder is subacromial impingement — pinching of the rotator cuff tendons under the acromion during the overhead pulling phase of freestyle, butterfly, and backstroke. It is treated with rotator cuff strengthening, scapular stabilization exercises, stroke modification, and sometimes corticosteroid injection for acute flare-ups. Most swimmers can continue training with modifications.
Can I keep swimming while seeing a physiotherapist?
Usually yes. A physio experienced with swimmers will prescribe specific stroke and volume modifications rather than complete rest. Common modifications include using a pull buoy to remove kicking stress, switching from butterfly to freestyle, or reducing total yardage while the injury heals.
