Re: [Paddlewise] Sciatica (was shoulder exercises for paddling)

For years I had zero pain from paddling. No leg-numbness either. I thought
that the Telkwa's seat - which is pretty comfortable - had something to do
with it until I switched to a Mariner Express with the sliding seat and
found that to be just as good (oddly enough).  In the SOF I just have a
blue foam pad cut to shape and I even like that!

My feet have gone to sleep in a white water kayak though (but not the RPM
Max). I attributed that to the way you have to sit in some of them.

Hands have been another matter for me. Paddling can be extremely painful. I
haven't had any long trips with the GP so I'm hoping that has solved some
of it.

I'm also grateful for no rotator cuff issues.

But I do spend more time on the sofa so maybe that will cure everything. :D
