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 just ordered the Buchberger 12 video for rotator cuff and scapular stabilizing exercises. If anyone is interested, the site is www.rotatorcuff.net. There is a section on "shoulder impingment" with a lot of information, including on "degeneration." On one of Coach T's cited sites, I saw the phrases overuse, rotator cuff fatigue, scapular dysfunction and shoulder laxity mentioned quite a bit.
