Thanks Julie.

I was always under the impression that swimming was a major internal rotator and caused a lot of pronation, and hence swimmers have that horrible posture. That's why I've been trying to do my weight workouts with more pulling exercises to compensate for all the pronation caused by the swimming. Am I off base here? I wonder if my years of imbalance in the one direction have finally been overcome... but now with an imbalance in the opposite...

As for sleeping, I'll make sure to stay out of those positions more often, as I often end up on my stomach with my arms overhead. I never really thought about this being a problem, but I see your point.

Add more pushing--got it. I'll add some more overhead pressing and some more push-ups, and maybe I'll go back to doing a few sets of 20-30 pushups each day if you think that would be advisable.

I know the towel stretch quite well, and I'll make sure to actually start doing it again.


For what it's worth, my shoulder did feel significantly better today in the pool than it did Friday, but I did cut back on the freestyle and upped the kicking just in case. It's still a little off, so I'll keep a close eye on it while the irregularity continues.

Thanks again.
