Hi all,
I've been swimming regularly since June and have developed an annoying clicking sound in both shoulders. I've started doing some rotator cuff exercises witha theraband daily to try to alleviate this. Anyone else have experience with this?
I haven't and wouldn't claim that it will. What I will state categorically is that proper technique will mitigate all other causative factors better than anything else you can do.
I think there has been a slight retrenchment in your position, counselor. You've gone from shoulder injuries being "mostly" due to improper stroke technique, to a "primary causative factor" to "mitigating other causative factors."
I did briefly check the mayo clinic websites. Now, I did not have time for an exhaustive analysis because I'm busy writing other stuff. But the articles I scanned praised swimming for being low impact and advocated proper stroke mechanics, but still said you can get "overuse tendonitis" and that swimming itself "may inflame" the rotator cuff muscles.
