 Shoulder injuries are common in paddling. There is no substitute for working with a great trainer or physical therapist to either recover from or avoid injury. Those that have worked with a pro know how effective small movements, done consistently over time can make huge changes.

+"Overall, it is something that needs to be managed, mostly off the water with proper mobility and strengthening work and then a bit of stroke focus on the water. My stroke looks nothing like an ideal stroke, but it is the stroke that allows pain free paddling.
+There is life after shoulder surgery and even though I have limited strength and mobility, I can still get on the water. I will never win any races, but I will be out there for many, many years to come if I manage my physiology correctly. That should be the goal, longevity over the short term euphoria of beating a mate in a DW or winning a race in your age group."\\

-Ys, Ts and Is strengthen the key shoulder muscles used in paddling. You can do them with resistance bands, but the TRX has advantages. With the TRX you can make micro adjustments in the amount of stress on your should by simply moving your feet closer to the attachment point. It's very easy to fatigue your shoulders in 3 sets of 12-15 reps. Don't overdo these. Three times a week is optimal. Without enough rest between sessions, you will get worse results.

@@ Line 43: / Line 90: @@
 The deltoid release paired with the pectoral release can add years to your paddling. Roll and search for a ropey tight muscle and focus on it. Two minutes after a paddle and/or two minutes every day can release that muscle and reduce your shoulder tightness.
