Anyone here experience any type of shoulder injury that kept you out of the water for more than a month??
How did you rehab?
Was your injury related to Freestyle and free pulling with paddles or another stroke?
Are breaststrokers suseptible to any specific type of shoulder injury?
Would love everyone's feedback!
...missing the pool...
I had some PT for my shoulder last summer and was barely swimming or not swimming at all for about a month or so. I didn't have an actual diagnosis other than it hurt and doing the PT exercises helped. I also worked on changing my stroke which has helped immensely. I can now swim with little to no shoulder discomfort even though other things still bother the shoulder and I still have popping. I love breaststroke and my shoulders have never had a problem with it, it was freestyle and backstroke that gave me issues.
Hope you are back in the water soon!
