Biceps tenodesis hastens recovery, cuts rehabilitation time
for labrum tears
Athletics have always been a part of Jade Dismore’s life.
The 27-year-old native of South Africa grew up playing tennis and swimming; as
an adult she became an avid runner and recreational volleyball player. For
several years she felt soreness in her shoulder, but assumed it was nothing
serious. As she began training for her first triathlon, the pain became
increasingly severe. After trying to manage the pain on her own for years,
Dismore decided it was time to seek medical attention.
“I started feeling dull pain in my shoulder about four or
five years ago and tried to care for it with regular massages and by seeing a
chiropractor,” explained Dismore. “When I was training for the triathlon and
doing a lot of swimming, I realized it was a serious problem. The harder I
trained, the worse it became. I was in pain all the time.”
