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've been doing my RC exercises (thanx Beth) and they are helping, but it was mentioned in another thread to practice freestyle with your arms at 10 and 2. It felt better immediately.
I know my arms don't cross centerline, but I am not very flexible. For me arms directly forward may be too much.
Whether it is poor form or not may be body type and age related.
I plan to keep on my RC exercises and work on my shoulder flexibility and add the 10-2 drill.
