Nothing says summer like a little smack talk over a game — until you roll an ankle or tweak a knee diving for that “impossible” save.

Weekends crank up the competitiveness, but they can also leave you limping into Monday. If you’re hurting after the fun, take it easy: rest, ice the area, and keep it elevated if it’s swollen. And don’t try to push through the pain — if it’s not improving after the weekend, call us.

One wrong move reeling in a snapper — a slip, a hard landing, and a weekend of shoulder pain that just wouldn’t quit.

Torn rotator cuff. 😐 And no, it’s not just athletes.

We see these injuries often in fishermen, boaters, weekend warriors — anyone doing repetitive lifting, overhead motion, or hands-on work.

Here’s what to watch for:
• Pain when lifting your arm
• Weakness or popping with movement
• Trouble sleeping on that side

If your shoulder doesn’t feel right, don’t wait it out. These injuries are a lot easier to fix when caught early.

How does this tiny little ball cause so much chaos?! Pickleball might be fun, but it’s sure tough on joints.

We’ve seen it all — weekend warriors, backhand fails, and those “oops-I-twisted-something” moments. Play hard, but watch the quick stops, awkward landings, and sudden twists.

If something feels off come Monday morning, you know where to find us. Call 850-771-2001 | SouthernOrthopedicSpineSurgery.com

Chronic shoulder pain doesn’t just affect athletes — it can make everyday tasks harder, from carrying a bag to arranging flowers.

Just ask Cheryl. For patients like her with large rotator cuff tears, the InSpace balloon offers a minimally invasive way to relieve pain and restore movement, even when traditional repair isn’t possible.

Find out if it’s right for you.

Here’s to sunshine, soft sand, and family fun! Whether you’re chasing little ones through the surf or spiking that volleyball—it’s easy to overdo it when you're all in.

A few reminders for the long weekend:
✅ Stretch before beach games
✅ Watch for shells, uneven sand, or rocks
✅ Listen to your body—rest and hydrate!

We’ll be back Tuesday to help with any weekend wear and tear. Until then, soak up every breeze and splash! 🇺🇸

Little players, big plays—and sometimes, BIG injuries.

It’s easy to brush off soreness in young athletes, but sprains, strains, and growth plate injuries are all too real. If your player’s limping, favoring a shoulder, or just not bouncing back like usual, it’s time to get it checked.
