Contrary to popular belief, more time in the gym doesn't always equal better results. Many athletes have discovered that training smarter, not harder, can lead to greater fitness and competitiveness.

Training less can help:
· Prevent injuries
· Boost recovery
· Improve overall performance

Discover why taking a step back might just be the key to moving forward. Read more about the benefits of training less:

The Case for Training Less Many athletes believe that the more time they spend in the gym, the fitter and more competitive they’ll be, but that's usually not the case.

A shoulder becomes "unstable" when it frequently dislocates or partially slips out of the joint, a condition known as shoulder subluxation. When the labrum tears, the shoulder becomes painful and unstable, limiting the range of motion and increasing the risk of dislocation.

At The Shoulder Clinic of Idaho, our specialists use advanced arthroscopic techniques to repair torn labrums and restore stability. This minimally invasive procedure involves:
· Visualizing the tear with an arthroscope through a small incision
· Cleaning up scar tissue and rough edges
· Preparing the glenoid bone and reattaching the labrum using suture anchors

These anchors, made of suture, metal, or bioabsorbable material, are inserted arthroscopically. They secure the labrum, allowing it to heal properly and maintain shoulder stability.
