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.
For several weeks during my rehab, I only swam breaststroke. I actually didn't swim very often. I went to Colonies Zones and swam breaststroke on 2 200 medley relays, 2 400 medley relays, and the individual 100 and 200 *** events. The worst part was trying to warm-up with only kicking and breaststroke.
My PT made me promise not to do free or back because that's when it hurt from the impingment. After she agreed, I started back cautiously.
I have to say my doctor actually listened to me about swimming and competing. Sometimes doctors don't listen to older women.
