Are shoulder injuries caused solely by improper stroke mechanics? Can we avoid all pain using perfect technique? Can we throw away the ice pack forever? Or can shoulder pain be caused by other factors as well? Vote if you have an opinion.

How unfortunate that we can't have an orthopedist on here as well as a cardio MD.
Due to the differences is anatomy, age, stroke (swim stroke, not the blockage type), workout volume, percentage of that volume performed with good stroke and percentage performed at point of failure causing poor stroke, etc. it would be impossible for shoulder injuries in all people to be caused by the same factors.
