Trauma and Sports Injuries
Injuries are common in sport, no matter the type or level of sport you may be playing. Sport injuries can be acute, chronic or repetitive, from mild to severely disabling in severity.
Pain in the upper extremity, to shoulder and elbow are common in throwing sports, racquet sports and swimming. Elbow injuries are common in athletes with over the head and arm motions.
24% (second largest) of hospitalised sporting injuries were to the shoulder and upper limbs.

Common acute, chronic and repetitive
shoulder problems
In younger people, shoulder pain is more likely to be due to an accident or injury. However, as you get older, natural wear and tear occurs in the shoulder joint and the rotator cuff tendon. Over time, this may become persistent pain.
The good news is that with appropriate treatment your shoulder pain will improve and you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Common acute, chronic and repetitive
elbow problems
Overuse or repeated pressure on the tendons near the elbow joint can overload these tissues. If overload occurs, it can cause pain around the elbow, particularly when using the wrist and hand.
The most common type of elbow pain is known as ‘tennis elbow’. Despite the name, these types of injuries can occur as a result of a range of physical activities, including repetitive work tasks undertaken in a variety of occupations.
