How did you find this person?  I would like to see one in Seattle, and
they must be here!

I went to the UW Sports Med clinic to discuss my sometimes-aching
wrists, and they gave me someone who worked with rowers.  Close but not
quite.  The advice may have helped some, but I really haven't been
paddling enough to be sure.

Also developed a right-elbow pain last year, but it was after a hard
paddle straight across the lake and back in totally calm   conditions,
so virtually no sweep strokes involved!  I've never figured out what
was different.  Maybe just due to a big effort after a bit of a layoff.
 It comes back pretty easily now.

I'm not even 40 yet.  I was hoping to solve one problem before the next
arose!
