Une recherche dans la documentation révèle que la natation cause très peu de blessures au torse. Le syndrome de Tietze est une affection mal comprise dont les symptômes sont une douleur et une sensibilité aux articulations costales ou chondrosternales sans enflure, qui peuvent causer un étirement accru par les muscles adjacents de cette région de la paroi de la cage thoracique. Cette étude de cas décrit le traitement conservateur (thérapie manuelle de l'épine dorsale, techniques de relâchement actif, exercice de réhabilitation et acupuncture clinique) et les résultats positifs pour un nageur professionnel souffrant de douleur à la paroi thoracique antérieure qui avait reçu un diagnostic de syndrome de Tietze chronique.
