Shoulder injury

[DickDangleberry]

Hi guys.

I've been having some shoulder issues and thought some of you may have experienced similar things or know of people that have.

I have been going to physio due to my left shoulder. The problems that I experience is a very dull pain that makes the front of my shoulder feel fatiqued way quicker than I think that it should. I can throw my jab without feeling any pain or problems until we do drills on the bag like speed rounds of 30 seconds with just straight punches.

It's a really strange sensation as it's not pain that makes me unable to carry on but the whole of my front shoulder just feels stupidly heavy.

My physio can't work it out and has gone through all the options.

Anyone?

....and I think this injury has come about incorrectly doing left hooks.

I've had to come out of the habit of using my shoulder and arm to hook rather than stiffing up my arm and using my hip/body to do all the work.

I'm no physio, but I'd guess the problem comes from technique. It actually sounds similar to a problem I had. There are guys who know more than me on here but I'd guess that you are pushing your punches, i.e. straightening the arm in a press up motion. If you're stance is more side on (or that you twist the body into it) the front muscles aren't engaged as much when you whip out the jab.
