Does anybody have experience (good exercises, tips to keep swimming fitness etc) with rotator cuff injuries from swimming?
Shoulder massage on Wednesday, seeing the Dr on Thursday and hope to get a physio referral.

If I were you Id get a stretchy band and use that. Ive got one on my bedroom door handle and do internal and external rotations with elbow bent at 90 degrees. It does help, but you will need to sort your swimming technique to avoid it coming back as mine keeps doing. If like me, you arent getting enough trunk rotation, you might be pulling across the central line with that arm. Fix that with twisiting from the hips. Other source might be the way you bring your arm over on recovery. Im no expert but those are the 2 areas im working on improving to reduce pain.
Sore shoulder means more kicking drills for me. Im a terrible kicker in the pool so at least it means I will work on that and keep swimming. Its also really knackering for me so I think it works the lungs in a more swimming-specific manner than say running would.
Hope that helps a bit.
A big one was not rotating my trunk enough in the water and also, hand entry.
He filmed me before during and after and burned it on disc for me to take home. All in all worth the money
