Subject: How soon to resume training after shoulder injury? Hello, I was cruising at 20mph (according to Strava ), hit the brakes hard, and impacted a turning vehicle (illegal driver ) at 12.5mph with my right shoulder about 7 days ago. I injured my back and shoulder mostly (where impacted ) and my elbow where I hit the asphalt. I've been doing PT exercises since the accident and I've regained most all of my range of motion but can't make all the swimming movements without discomfort yet. I seem to be able to bike fine and run low paced without much trouble now. How long would you suggest resting from the swim and what is an effective strategy to easing back into the water?
My next tri is Olympic distance on June 21st. |
