Shoulder Mechanics and Exercises

Sun, 12/30/2007 - 22:47 — Kent Ford

Shoulders are the weak link in the paddling equation. I have simple exercises and information on dislocations here and then also and for impingement here. but for a more elaborate medical resource, check out the dislocation and rotator cuff pages from this Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine at the University of Washington informational site.

Are you just experiencing sharp pain, caused by wear and tear rather than one incident? Impingement syndrome is a sharp stabbing pain on the front of the shoulder, about an inch down. This is often caused by poor shoulder positioning (slouching), poor flexibility, and poor rotator cuff control. To avoid or relieve impingement syndrome, a common complaint of paddlers, it is important to stretch the shoulder, utilize proper posture and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. On the bright side, impingement pain tends to respond quickly to therapy. Go see a shoulder savvy Physical Therapist for a few sessions and a quick recovery! (for me it was just 3 visits and I was as good as new)

Sometimes I feel sharp pain

Sometimes I feel sharp pain on my shoulders going to my back. I feel this when I don't exercise and spend hours in front of the computer. Just a little massage and then do some stretching exercise, its good to go. PPC Singapore

I wouldn’t have understood

I wouldn’t have understood Walt Blackadar as well were it not for “Never Turn Back”. Now I understand better how his accomplishment on Turnback Canyon was the river equivalent of the first ascent of Everest, and when excerpts from his Alsek journal were published in Sports Illustrated, he became an instant sensation. He was at the top of his sport at an age when most athletes are long retired. http://www.ronwatters.com/NTB.html Corporate Gifts Corporate Gifts acne treatments
