I know that Kirk started a thread on this subject back in March of 2010, but I wanted to bring this up again. A week ago I strained my rhomboid major during an open water training session at Barton Springs. I have continued to swim since then, although I did take a day off during the week, and I didn't lift weights. I have used ice, Aleve, stretching, and massage, but it has yet to improve. Given that Greensboro is only a few months away, my plan is to stay in the water and swim through this. Any thoughts?
I have never strained them swimming but I have frequently done it doing other things (pull ups, carrying kids and groceries at the same time, trying to deal with back seat shenanigans).
I recently started using the foam roller on them and it is sooo helpful I can't even describe it. I was skeptical but I am now converted. Highly recommended!
