What’s your diagnosis? 🧐
Guess your thoughts in the comments!
Here we have a 38 year old female, with a 6 month history of deep anterior shoulder pain. Unaware, they were hyper mobile in several joints, including her shoulders. No previous shoulder concerns. Has been playing tennis for 6 years. 🎾
No particular mechanism, gradual worsening of symptoms, struggling with overhead movements with noted clicking. 🙋♀️
Noted positive O’briens, generalised weakness into the rotator cuff but no lag signs. 💪🏼

This lady is demonstrating a labral tear, more specifically a SLAP (Superior Labrum, Anterior to Posterior) tear of the shoulder. The clients story was so important for helping diagnose their symptoms as this presentation can have crossover with several other shoulder pathologies. 👨⚕️
Identified the problem, educated the client, built a plan to fix it 📈
