| Back And Shoulder Pain |
|
Question:
I do recreational swimming 3 times per
week. I have recently experienced shoulder
and back pain. I`ve been told that my
stiff upper back is causing my lower
back pain and that weak upper back muscles
causes my shoulder pain. Is there anyone
out there experiencing the same problem
or anyone who can help?
Answer:
It is very likely that swimming is affecting
your muscles. I myself experience stiffness
and soreness. The shoulders and back
muscles are where most of your power
should come from, particularly in butterfly.
I suggest, and this helps me a lot,
that you do stretches before training.
Talk to your coach if you have one,
and find out which stretches would be
best for your specific area. I usually
stretch for fifteen minutes to half
an hour before my training, you will
have to find a routing that matches
your training schedule.
