title: Shoulder injury in the throwing athlete.
abstract: Successful nonoperative management of shoulder injury in the throwing athlete requires a comprehensive team approach. The cornerstone of management is physical therapy to restore strength, balance, and endurance to the shoulder girdle musculature followed by a return to a throwing program. The return to competitive throwing is usually a lengthy process requiring patience from the medical team and the athlete.
