Have a shoulder labral tear (aka SLAP tear) that you want to fix without surgery? Dr. B shares her experience with the thousands of labral tears she’s seen, the reasons behind them, and whether it means surgery.
Even if they're asymptomatic, SLAP tears are super common in baseball players. The big reasons come from kinetic chain imbalances - a muscle might not be firing properly, or your form is off.
Even though it’s not exclusive to pro sports, Dr. B says that when people take the steps to correct their movement mechanics, only 5 out of 100 people will actually need surgery.
Building a strong foundation for movement will stop putting more stress on the shoulder labral tear, allowing it to start healing. Through improving tissue quality, alignment, and building strength in the surrounding muscles, you’ll have all the keys to healthy, strong shoulders. Coach E will direct you to videos showing you the exercises to do all that. (There are also links in the Resources section below.)
Even if you end up needing surgery, spending a little time with exercises to improve your shoulder function will protect it from further damage.
