This patient came to me with a painful and disturbing clunking sensation while reaching overhead during his swimming stroke, particularly with butterfly. It slowly came on and worsened and he had no specific mechanism of injury.
While watching him move his shoulders from the front, it looked relatively normal, however when looking at his shoulder movement from the back, it’s quite obvious there’s something going on.
The time frame between these 2 videos is 4 weeks.
Huge props to this patient for being so diligent with his home exercises and for a great finish to his swimming season!!
