FAQs — Volleyball Injuries in St Johns
Why do volleyball players get so many shoulder injuries?
The overhead attacking motion in volleyball requires extreme shoulder external rotation and generates high forces on the rotator cuff with every spike. Over a season, this repeated loading causes rotator cuff impingement, labral irritation, and shoulder instability. Early physiotherapy and rotator cuff strengthening prevents these from becoming serious injuries.
How is volleyball knee pain (jumper's knee) treated?
Patellar tendinopathy in volleyball players is treated with heavy slow resistance training focused on eccentric loading of the patellar tendon, combined with load management during the season. In-season management differs from off-season treatment. An experienced sports physio will tailor the approach to your competition schedule.
