Well not much has been happening over the last couple of weeks with my left shoulder not in great shape. Not only has it been stiff but it has also had limited movement in some directions and causing some discomfort with transfers. It is very important for me to look after my shoulders as they really allow me to get into my chair, transfer into the car and lift vital beveridges to my mouth.....use your imagination as to what they are.
With concern regarding my shoulder rising I visited a local physio for treatment. After an examination it was decided to try some Kinesio tape. Here the big decision was what colour to choose; pink, black or blue. Since then I rested for more than a week and also after a discussion with Alison Bachelor (fellow pool user and former colleague) I also decided to stop my back stroke which I had recently started. Since then I have done a couple of small pushes, the last was today which seemed ok although I will wait and see how the shoulder feels tomorrow.
