Physical Therapy

I’ve been working on getting approval from my health insurance to see a physical therapist for shoulder pain and instability. Hopefully the final approval comes in this week and I can make an appointment.

If I want to fight in the next 2 months I’m kind of concerned that I won’t get to begin working with the P.T. in time to see any results. So instead of waiting I’m doing some exercises I found on the internet. I’m also going to take it easy on the push ups until I strengthen the stabilizing muscles (push ups are a painful activity for me).

Strategic Resting

Published by Babyfaced Brawler under Injuries & Rehab

Sorry, I missed some postings. My father in-law has been in town so I’ve just had enough time to squeeze in a little training between spending time with family.

I was very unhappy with how I performed last week. I felt clueless during sparring and have now practically gone back to the drawing board to re-work some punches. By week end my rotator cuffs (small stabalizing shoulder muscles) were killing me again and to top things off I had a sore throat.

So I’m strategically resting up so I don’t get sick and so my shoulders heal. I’m going to ease into training this week. I’ll work out tomorrow night on my own so I can finish resting my shoulders and I’ll get back to my daily cardio. Tuesday I’ll be back to training hard and I hope to have a strong week.
