Hi,
After having some trouble with a sore shoulder due to instability in the shoulder joint I've quit the pool for 2 weeks. Been to a physiotherapist which suggested strenghtening the rotatorcuff muscles, bicep tendons and general core stability of the shoulder. I've been doing these exercices and have noticed some improvement in the stability so I decided to go back to the pool last weekend (after talking to my physio first).
My first session was a short 1500m workout with no intensity or toys used. Two days later I went back to the pool, this time for a planned 2000m session focussing on endurance, using the pullbuoy for a total of 500m of the session, the rest was just frontcrawl and some kicking.
During the training I felt my shoulder playing up again so I ended my training early.
So I am doing something wrong obviously. I don't really see how I could make my sessions even easier on my shoulder? Basicly I'm puzzled about how to resume training and remain pain-free while recovering. Any advice?
First of all, thanks for the answers.
I'll have my stroke checked out by a coach somewhere in the next weeks, so hopefully that will point out a few errors. I hadn't really thought about it before, so thanks for the tip Swimspire.
At the moment I guess I'll be doing alot of kicking as suggested. Shame tho, just bought a new wetsuit for openwater swims and it hasn't seen a drop of water yet.
Anyways, focus on kicking and keeping the feeling with the water from tomorrow on, and hope the physio makes some more improvement soon. Thanks for the advice!
