No detailed web reference here, but a strong suggestion you visit your local physical therapist or orthopedic specialist and get some professional advice. Mine prescribed (and trained me in the use of) a series of strengthening exercises employing lengths of "rubber dam" material similar to these: http://www.orthoassociates.com/shoulder1.htm#shldr_exrcs (The ones shown here are not the same ones I was given to use.) The rubber dam comes in varying thicknesses, which your specialist/therapist will choose to fit your fitness level. It is easy to overdo it. The "popping" you are experiencing suggests you may have some cartilage issues in there -- and surgery may be required. And, remember, this medical advice is worth what you paid for it! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
