With increasing numbers of swimmers engaging in year-round training, we've learned a very fundamental lesson -- swimmers never sustain injuries at a convenient time! There's always an important meet or camp, or training is in a build-up stage - something...

It's also predictable, from lessons learned by many practioners over the years, that when swimmers stop swimming their problems usually disappear -- that is at least until they get back in the water -- Then it's right back where they started!!

We take a more active approach to in-season management of swimmer's pain. The injury history tells us when it happens; musculoskeletal and biomechanical assessment (with input from the coach, if needed) tell us why it happens; and pain level* dictates what we're going to do about it. 

Of course it's not possible to generalize the causative factors for all injuries, but most swimmers can tell us what they can do without pain. That becomes our starting point. With gradual progression of exercise and swim training in a structured fashion, most swimmers can rehabilitate using swimming as one of their main treatment tools.
