With the Hollywood strikes and approaching retirement I thought it would be a good time to have my right shoulder checked out. Years of Baseball, golf, fishing and work have taken a bit of a toll.
Turns out I don't need surgery but have been doing physical therapy every week and using an exercise band at home similar to Hard Drive. I have a slight tear in my Labrium so it's a lot motion and rotating. They start me out on a machine that is similar to pedaling a bike but with your arms and then doing little lifts with one pound weights.
I think the toughest thing to get through my thick head is that you have to rid yourself of the "No pain, no gain" mentality. If it starts to hurt, back off a bit. You just want to keep constant motion to smooth things out.
