At Functional Xcellence, we live and breathe volleyball šāand we know just how much your shoulder goes through. Whether you're digging in the sand or launching indoors, elite players can clock up to 40,000 spikes per seasonĀ š³... and that kind of volume can seriously wear your body down.
According to the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB)Ā and Volleyball AustraliaĀ (volleyball.org.au), shoulder injuries are among the most common and preventableĀ issues in the sport. šØĀ The major culprit? Well, we donāt believe there is one factor, but many contributing.
Other injury red flags include:
š High spiking volume
āļø Imbalance in eccentric ER vs. concentric IR strength
š§āāļø Poor core stability, which forces the shoulder to compensate
But donāt worryāthis is our specialty.Ā šŖ
