Bernie, these comments were well timed; I had my sports therapist feel into my shoulders today (my preferred physio is away for a week and I'm waiting to see her on return).Bernie in another thread wrote:In general, tendonitis is a chronic inflammation of the tendon (but not always - sometimes it is a tear). Tendonitis is a bane of yoga teachers who tweak/sprain their ligaments or tendons but won’t give their body a chance to heal because they have to teach, and in teaching they re-injure the area that is trying to heal. I have had this happen to me to with a hamstring tendon: it didn’t respond to any treatments for over a year - the only way it got better was for me to adopt a policy of zero tolerance: I didn’t do anything that would stress the hamstrings for 6 months, and finally they healed. Will this work for you? I don’t know.
About four years ago I had low level shoulder pain for 2 or 3 months, worse left side, and then awoke to frozen shoulder one morning
The pain has returned in the last few weeks, majoring on the right side, and I'm trying to pre-empt another acute frozen shoulder.
Therapist feels its the long head of biceps, and has suggested mobilisation but without weight. I'm trying to relate that to a yoga practice, both yin and yang at present, in terms of dos/don't/maybes.
Any thoughts on beneficial asana?
