I had never heard of this condition, but my daughter was diagnosed with it Monday.
Quoting from online, LL shoulder is an injury to the growth plate in the shoulder caused by -
-Repeated overhead throwing using improper mechanics
-Lack of muscle strength and endurance
-Too much throwing
Doctor believes my daughter's case to be mild and due to overuse and not form or lack of strength/endurance (although he's never seen her form). He recommends no throwing until next tournament (2 weeks), and then limiting the number of throws.
Anyone had experience with this? Doctor said there are no strength exercises for this, but I'm now skeptical for having read more.
