Shoulder pain when lifting your arm? It could be impingement! 🎾
@dr.jamesleejr explains that impingement happens when the rotator cuff muscles rub against the scapula, causing irritation. This is common in sports like tennis, where overhead motions are frequent.
If you experience pain when raising your arm, impingement might be the cause. Have questions? Drop them in the comments and follow for more expert insights!

What does “redshirting” mean in college sports? 🏀
@dr.jamesleejr breaks it down! A redshirt allows an athlete to miss a season due to injury and make it up with an additional year of eligibility.
Who’s eligible?
✅ If you miss less than 30% of the season
✅ If the injury happens in the first half of the season
Always check with your compliance office for official eligibility. Best of luck to all the athletes out there! 💪

Is your young athlete overdoing it? ⚾
@dr.jamesleejr explains how to spot signs of overuse injuries, like Little League Shoulder—a condition caused by excessive throwing or impact that affects growth plates.
Signs your child may need a break:
❌ Pain during activity
❌ Pain that doesn’t improve with rest
❌ Pain that doesn’t respond to medication
If these symptoms persist, it might be time to see a doctor. Prioritizing recovery is just as important as training!

Two truths and a lie: Upper Extremity Edition! 🤔 Can you spot the lie?
1️⃣ Torn rotator cuffs always need surgery.
2️⃣ A frozen shoulder will almost always get better with time.
3️⃣ If an athlete breaks a bone during a season, they might be able to return that same season.

✅ Black Pepper
These natural ingredients work together to combat inflammation and support joint health. One product @dr.jamesleejr uses is Revive by @three_international, which combines these ingredients for better absorption.

Ever feel numbness or tingling in your pinky and ring finger? It could be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome—the ‘little brother’ of Carpal Tunnel.
