[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a former college rower with a shoulder injury. In my case it was frequent partial dislocations due to an old swimming overuse injury. I switched sides. Would that help her? If she is port, have her switch to starboard or vice versa. It switches the angle of stress on the muscles and joints.

Rowers are tough. If she is a senior and crying with pain she is hurting - though some of it may be pure fear and frustration. You feel like this thing you love may be taken away from you, or like you may never be pain free again. Just listen to her.

The other thing that could help is a PT plan that involves others. My athlete son will do his PT when it is embedded in his workout with his buddies. I got him to ask to have the PT exercises included in the warm up, and since they are good for everyone Coach agreed.

Since she is a college senior this is ultimately her choice. Just hug her and tell her you love her.[/quote]

Thanks for the info! The dr actually suggested she switch sides but she doesn’t want to - one of the many frustrations I have with all of this. I feel like she has had a multitude of suggestions and she is fighting them all.

One of the other issues I have concerns about is that she is picking a school based on the rowing team and being able to row - and that may not come to fruition if she doesn’t deal with this. [/quote]
