A SLAP Tear (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior Tear) is an injury to the labrum, the ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket and stabilises the joint. This type of tear occurs where the biceps tendon attaches to the labrum and is commonly seen in athletes or individuals involved in repetitive overhead motions, such as throwing, swimming, or weightlifting.
Living with a SLAP tear can be frustrating and painful, as the discomfort and weakness in your shoulder may limit your ability to reach, lift, or participate in sports. You may feel restricted by the pain and instability, unsure of how to safely manage your shoulder. However, with the right support and recovery plan, you can relieve SLAP tear symptoms, improve shoulder function, and regain confidence in your movement.
