Fort: My diagnosis was Tendonitis. I don't know why he didn't send me for PT. Your Sis Beth helped me a lot with RC exercises.
ART???? :dunno:
I saw all those RC exercises! That was good stuff and should help. Still rather odd that they didn't send you to PT with that diagnosis. For tendonitis and soft tissue issues, however, I prefer ART, i.e., active release therapy. I've described it before, but just got to www.activerelease.com and read up on it. My ART doc sees a lot of triathletes and volunteers at all the ironman stuff around here and in Hawaii. In fact, I'm going next week. My experience is that ART docs, unlike PT docs, are more focused on keeping your training. My last PT session, they just kept saying, you've got to rest. I think rest can be counterproductive, as an article recently posted by Anna Lea posited. You may have to ease back. But if you "rest," i.e., no swimming, the tendonitis will likely just come back when you re-start. If you've got it, chances are you'll have to keep doing the RC exercises forever and ever. Just my HO and experience. Everyone is different.
P.S. The TI guys, Kaizen and Chaos, love ART too.
