Sounds like a good idea CC hitmandonny

Also seems pretty likely they sell what you're talking about here which is good

Yeah I don't know much about shoulders so can't give any advice but I guess there's only one way to find out whether or not it works for you!

In a way I'm learning more about what's going on with my back because I'm pushing it. The hop is that I won't end up a screwed up in my old age as I would if I was inactive because by then maybe I've learnt how to manage my weak points.

Chiro said I've inflamed the 'bursa' of the joints where the spine and the rib cage meet. Common issue with movements which involve some rotation. Based on that while I think a soft bed, cycling posture and phD stress (tense up my muscles when POd!) are all factors I think the cause of my problem might be the coach who tried to ban me from pivoting with my cross.

After all I was used to pivoting with it before coming to the gym and kept trying to do as i was told with the same amount of rotation. Thing is the ribs are meant to reduce the rotation of the spine - we are structurally limited there - where they join and the knee is not meant to rotate sideways - so what two areas pull up injured - that part of my spine and my left knee! i should have trusted myself more since I knew watching him he had a small pivot and wasn't actually able to do what he said to do.

I guess it's a similar story with your shoulder isn't it htimandonny? A coach made you overwork it? I don't like being obstinate but might need to be more assertive next time I find myself in a similar position!
