Are shoulder injuries due solely to improper stroke mechanics

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.

  • I'm not sure of studies, but if I sleep atop my arm ... well, if I even try to sleep atop my arm I'm in searing pain rather quickly. Can't do it ... My doctor told me to never raise my hand above shoulder level when I lay on my side. It places too much stress on your shoulder. The only time I lay on my bad right shoulder is when I am doing my rotator cuff exercises for my left shoulder!
