It’s absolutely BONKERS to me that 93% of youth hockey players have some sort of labrum injury by the time they’re 19!!!
For those who don’t know, the labrum is the tissue in the shoulder and hip joints that help the ball move in the socket and stay in place — kind of important!
Typical reason for injury/tear is overuse or impact trauma… both very common for youth athletes. This can also occur in adult rec players if not taking proper care of their physical health.
Take care of your kids; take care of your selves; and do your best to keep your body injury free!
