Shoulder problems

Ok...Here's the short verison of the lead up to my question. I dislocated, well suplexed (popped out but popped in on it's own), my shoulder about a month ago when I was doing butterfly (I promise my form has improved since then:D ). I took a week off from swimming, work and everything and my shoulder was for the most part healed, it only bothers me every once in a while..mostlyat work. But today when I was swimming, it kinda started grinding and hurting when I started my recovery on all my strokes. Any ideas about what to do? Drills to make it stronger or anything would be good. When I do dryland I spend some time focusing on making it stronger...benchpress and such, so it should be getting stronger, so I was surprised when it hurt today. Maybe it's the changing weather;). Im gonna let it rest for a day or two and ice it regularly, but when I get back into the pool it would be nice to not have this problem again. Thanx for your help!! ~Kyra

  • I have been told by many sources over the years that lat pulldowns behind the head should not be done. In fact, at the gym I lift at the machine came with pictures of how to do the exercise, and the staff at the gym taped a piece of paper over the picture of the person doing the lat pulldown behind their head, to keep members from doing that exercise. I am currently being treated for shoulder / rotator cuff problems and without me asking about it, my physical therapist specifically told me not to do the lat pulldown behind my head.
