Hi everyone,
Over the past month or two I have noticed some occasional minor pain in my right shoulder. It seemed to first appear when I was doing some weight training at a local gym but it never entirely went away. Just recently I began swimming again and that seemed to cause the injury to worsen.
Following the swimming incident I went to a local sport medicine clinic and they digagnosed the injury as an impingement. They gave me some exercises to do for strengthening and stabilizing the rotator cuff muscles.
What I'm interested in finding out is if there are any specific activities/motions that I should try to avoid to promote healing (I'm trying to do a lot of climbing recently but I don't want to prolong the injury) and if there are any exercises/stretches that I can also do to help the shoulder. Also any other general advice about rotator cuff injuries and how to deal with them or avoid them entirely would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help,
Dale
