Rowing

Common Injuries

  • Low Back Pain, Spondylolysis, SI Joint Dysfunction, Disc Herniation, Intercostal muscular strains, Rib Stress Fractures, Costochondritis, Costovertebral Joint Subluxation, Shoulder Pain, Exertional Compartment Syndrome, De Quervain’s Syndrome, Tenosynovitis of wrist extensors, Patellofemoral Pain, ITB Syndrome, etc.
  • Lower Extremity and Trunk :

    These are mostly due to Overuse, Poor Stroke Technique, Decreased Rotator Cuff or Scapular Muscle Strength etc.

  • Torso and Abdominal Injuries :

    Increased Respiratory demands, Hip Muscle Imbalances, Excessive Hyperflexion/twisting force to the Lumbar Region etc.

  • Lower Limb Injuries : Decreased Hip Strength, Altered Rotatory stability, overtraining, decreased flexibility in lower limb are some of the contributing factors that makes the rowers prone to injuries.

ASSESSMENT

  • Movement Analysis : Biomechanics + Kinematics of paddling the oar
  • Functional Movement Screening
  • Musculoskeletal Screening
  • Analysis of Drag Force, Paddle Force
  • Upper extremity muscle testing
  • Strength, Explosiveness testing
  • Reaction Time and Coordination assessment
  • Kinematic Analysis of the phases (Catch, Drive, Finish & Recover) of Rowing

PREPARE + PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
