Hi All,
By now I'm sure you've all heard me praise how great it is to be back after 10 years off...so this note is a little different.
How does one know if the shoulders are just sore, or if there is an onset of injury (like tendonitus)?
And, when swimming front quadrant, how far should the hand reach toward the wall? In TI it recommends reaching really far out, which I've been doing, and consequently really reaching out exagerating the shoulder. Maybe I shouldn't do this?
Thanks for any advice--I don't want to be out before I even have a chance to start!
Best,
Jerrycat :confused:

jerrycat, i'll echo what msgrupp recommended and i'll suggest what i suggested to the previous poster: i've had my share of shoulder aches and pains and, generally speaking, i've found that moderate rest, technique adjustment, icing, ibuprofen and rotor cuff exercises helped. however, what has really helped in the last incident of shoulder pain was the introduction of short fins to my workout. since i've used them, the tendonitis has completely cleared up (the use of fins, unfortunately, has caused other problems with my training- does anyone know of a good fins' anonymous group? ). it may also help to be mindful of your sleeping positions at night.
good luck with it!
peace...
