Brief Summary
Shoulder pain can be common in overhead sports, and in particular, in volleyball. Different physiotherapy protocols can be adopted depending on the suspected pathophysiological mechanisms. Despite most of the protocols rely only on the shoulder district, some research suggests that treating the whole-body might produce better results as it could influence kinematic chains and correct muscle imbalances. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of two physiotherapy protocols (shoulder focus or whole body) compared to only education without physiotherapy.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * practicing volleyball for at least 5 years with a training volume of minimum 5 h/wk Exclusion Criteria: * history of previous surgical intervention or fractures on the shoulder or spine
