A member asked:
Do people ever get shoulder tendonitis by throwing a softball side arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Throwing any ball can potentially cause tendonitis. Tendonitis of the shoulder can occur as a result of a variety of reasons. Most commonly it is from progressing activities too quickly when the shoulder is not conditioned for the stress that it is being demanded of it. There are excellent throwing progression programs available to condition the shoulder and arm for regular throwing.
