STACK Special: The 411 on Shoulder Injuries

Almost everything we do is athlete specific in some way. Whether it is working with your schedule or customizing your workout, we strive to meet everyone's individual needs.

Christian Dawson, a wide receiver at Western Brown High School, is currently recovering from an operation on his shoulder. I found this article on our partner company's website--Stack Magazine--about shoulder injury rehab and prevention. The shoulder is often overused from repeatedly throwing or swinging, and this article includes some very good exercises for building those shoulder muscles to provide stability to this complex joint. Some of the exercises (like shrugs for example) we like to incorporate into your workouts at Veritas.

Overall, we hope by reading this article you might better understand that training has a number of purposes and benefits. Training doesn't only make you stronger, help you hit harder, jump higher, and run faster. It also plays a major role in preventing those dreaded injuries.
