a therapist told me to spend the money (instead of surgery, as he didnt like the stats of going under the knife) on a sea kayak and ease into climbing after 6 months( 9 months after the event) of kayak training, building the muscles around the joint with lots of low loading repetitive exersise. My shoulder was f---ed for months (slipped and fell onto a 'thumbs-down' jam in my left hand from above - obviously a little gripped at the time), couldnt sleep on that side, could barely lift my arm above horizontal... 2 years later & fighting fit. |
