HOW CAN I PREVENT OR AVOID A SHOULDER INJURY FROM BOWLS?
The shoulder joint is a commonly injured area due to the range of motion of the ball and socket joint in multiple directions.
Roll woods, not your shoulder with a Bauerfeind shoulder brace. Reduce your chances of a bowling injury through a Bauerfeind support’s enhanced stability, relieved shoulder pressure and moisture-wicking medical-grade compression.
Some of the most common forms of bowling injuries include rotator cuff tendinitis, bursitis, instability and rotator cuff tear.
Bauerfeind shoulder braces have a unique design that guides and centres the arm in the socket to ensure a stable shoulder, yet allowing full mobility.
A good shoulder brace for bowls and cricket includes the OmoTrain, which relieves injured or strained shoulders.
Protect your shoulder joint so you can stabilise your joint without limiting your ability to back bowl, backhand draw and deliver a bowl.

SHOULD I WEAR A SHOULDER BRACE FOR BOWLS?
Bowls involve carrying a heavy ball and repetitive swinging motions which can be hard on your shoulders. A brace will help support that joint and massage the surrounding muscles, increasing blood flow to the area.
HOW TO TREAT COMMON SHOULDER INJURIES FROM BOWLS?
We recommend visiting a physiotherapist for treatment and advice on treating common bowls shoulder injuries. They may recommend the following treatments.
- Strains or Sprains. Many sprains and strains can be treated with the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. A physiotherapist can assist with the recovery as well. If the sprain is more severe you may require surgery.
- Rotator Cuff Tear. Conservative treatment such as rest, ice and physical therapy can help with full recovery of lower grade rotator cuff tears. If your injury is severe with a full or partial tear of the muscle or tendons, surgery may be the most appropriate.
Play it safe: Consult a doctor if you experience unusually intense and persistent shoulder pain.
