Any advice for shoulder pain? Other than take off training

I have been swimming lots o yards and my shoulders are hurting. Last year I went to therapy, and got some good execizes that helped. Now the pain is in another area (Trapezius, teres major, rear deltoids). I know I am a bit OCD but I hate stopping training. Should I cut back on yards and increase weightlifting? What about deep tissue massage? Anyone have any thoughts?:confused: This is starting to get depressing.

  • FINS!! FINS! Couldn't agree more. Takes the stress off the shoulders. Fins can ramp up cardio, enhance flexibility and help with streamlining. I haven't had a lot of adverse effects from excessive training with fins. So I think the advantages of saving your shoulder and getting the extra benefits outweigh the disadvantages of fins. I agree with runnergirl. My ART doc is also focused on keeping me training as opposed to mandating rest.
