Skiing Shoulder Support
As skiing is such a demanding sport, your shoulder can become incredibly vulnerable to injuries such as dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and shoulder fractures if it is not treated with utmost care. If you experience a shoulder injury from skiing, you may feel intense pain, joint stiffness, discomfort, and swelling around the affected area.
Adjustable Arm/Shoulder Sling Support for Fractured Arms Elbows Wrists and Pain Relief
STRONG ARM SUPPORT & STABILITY
360 Relief shoulder sling is designed to keep your arm suspended with or without a cast. Wearing a sling keeps your arm against your body and prevents you from moving your arm too much as you heal after injury.
Imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRIs, may also be performed to diagnose the problem. Your GP will then start your treatment plan after the result of the tests. They may recommend some medication for pain, swelling, and inflammation, and suggest wearing shoulder support.
If you cannot avoid participating in sports, or if nonsurgical measures fail to relieve your pain, your doctor may suggest surgery, as the major reason for surgery is persistent pain and weakness. After surgery, you may also need to wear shoulder supports for protection and to ensure a fast recovery.
It is necessary to keep your muscles and tendons mobile to avoid shoulder injuries and re-injury in the future. You can consult a physiotherapist to help stabilise your shoulder joints and muscles. Heat therapy is also great for relaxing your muscles and helping you keep your shoulder joints mobile.
360 Relief offers a wide range of shoulder braces and supports to help prevent shoulder injuries, pain, and discomfort. They are available in a variety of different colours, lengths, and sizes to match your requirements. These supports provide the ideal balance of comfort, support and compression that allow you to relax and enjoy your activities.
A rotator cuff tear is the most common injury skiers may experience. The injury involves jumping while skiing and results in shoulder pain. The injury may also get worse when skiers raise their hands and move their shoulders.
Skiers may face the following shoulder injuries:
- Shoulder Fracture
- Shoulder Dislocation
- Rotator Cuff Tear (soft tissues injuries)
- Acromioclavicular Separations
- Clavicle Fractures
After a shoulder gets injured, you can use a shoulder brace to protect and support your shoulder during the healing process. Some braces help compress swollen joints and ease inflammation. Braces can also help injured muscles to take a break, resulting in a speedy recovery.
A shoulder brace is supportive enough to compress the shoulder, which reduces inflammation and shoulder instability. Make sure that the shoulder brace is not tight enough to restrict blood circulation. Take the help of a professional trainer or healthcare advisor.
The given preventive measures can save your shoulder while skiing:
- Do stretching and warm up your body before skiing
- Wear protective equipment, such as shoulder supports
- Do not wear heavy backpacks
- Learn the skiing safety measures before skiing
