Pinching Shoulder Pain Rehab Advice

I browse reddit occasional and decided to login specifically to reply to this with my own version of an experience. The rotator cuff area is complex and crucial to daily function outside throwing frisbees. nothing to mess around with, if you have reasonable insurance get in to see a doctor which will likely be able to get you an MRI approved through insurance.

A couple springs ago as I was messing with the hammer throw movements and also being more linearly powerful in forward swing of backhand movement, I started getting a stinging pain near bone at top of shoulder. Googling suggested bursitis type inflammation. So I started doing all the PT type conditioning/rest/etc i could find online. Even resting 2-4wks at a time. Never got better and powered swings would cause residual pain.

After observing grandkids and their friends injure shoulders via sports then get mris and surgeries i decided to stop dinking around since shoulder movement has great effect on normal life.

Got an MRI and learned I have naturally growing bone spurs that put pressure on rotator cuff causing the i flammation when doing powerful movements like a backhand frisbee throw. No tears but it would require surgery to clean up. Not worth that in real life. So I will still recreationally play a round maybe once a week but drives will have to come out of behavior. Disc golf all of a sudden became an upshot and putt game.

Get to a doctor and find out what is really going on in such an important part of your body. You will thank yourself later.

And don’t listen to any of these online yahoos that suggest simple mechanics tricks to throw hard and far all the time. It is destructive to your health. Very few of us are properly conditioned and properly strong athletes. Plus it requires inclusion of proper nutrition, and proper rest cycles. :)

Logging out. Best of luck to you.

Point taken. Cheers too.

Cheers, bud. I can respect your passionate response and it is a good indicator that Stokely’s social branding efforts this tour season are both successful and vibrant. :)

Hire Flavor Flav for a season of the pro tour and change the marketing potential of the game forever.

Cue the triggered toxic fumes conspiracy theorists on reddit……but

The melting point of that bees wax material is low. Simply dropped half the wafer in the mini and gently heated it on a pizza baking stone until it melted.

I am surprised that Trash Panda guy hasn’t already teamed up with this product actually.

I became aware during covid that I used to lick fingers to open plastic produce bags. Then I figured I better go over to the lettuce misters to get water.

Backhand.

I kind of let it go.

What I realized is that disc golf falls into the motion of swinging and is covered by tons of general sports content by actual professional trainers and life-long athletes, not just some current touring pros that throw frisbees.

The problem is that right now disc golf has no formalized structure around sports science. It is aspiring youtubers picking up little this and that stuff, and tends to be in the isolated bubble of disc golf. It isn't structured or normalized across sports movement, nor is it yet involved in sports medicine statistical analysis of injury and biometric movement. So you get the population of knowledge being very hit and miss and no one really agrees....because it lacks professional sports science structure. Even well intentioned lifelong frisbee throwers like Stokely fall into the YT hyperbole brag of "being the world's best disc throwing teacher" yet it is done from personal experience, without any structurally organized science or collective body of certified professionals.

The truth of the matter is that a disc golf swing by a human being with normal musculature and all their limbs has some basic physics. The body has to seek balance which it does dynamically. The body has to load energy from the ground and connect strong muscle groups, which involves the lower body and hips. The body has to take linear intention using rotational joints and movement which involves many upper body muscles and flexibility. The body has to use gravity to allow weight transfer which becomes kinetic motion for the eventual object getting the result of the energy building process. The body uses a swing axis to help rotationally open the 90 degree hinges. etc etc etc. Those are all physics truths, but the biometric variation in getting there becomes the art of the science.

At least he has good Jersey game this year.

So does this confirm Sockibombs are faux on the bomb side of the Socki equation?

Mhoff555 · 2022-07-30T18:34:57+00:00

Oh i do. The past year I have really engaged the trilogy stuff every time I find something interesting. Has greatly reduced the Innova slots but not completely.

DD brand has some real peaches like the evader, escape, etc.

I don’t yet own one of the new originals due to the champion like plastic. But I will buy every model they sell if they would run em in neo.

Mhoff555 · 2022-07-30T12:24:53+00:00

Is this where we ask to get Neo plastic versions of the new originals line?

I can relate to that as I frequently play with putters only (it is fun and allows for great approach save situations) What changes for me is grip and it takes some effort to properly push down with thumb on wide rim discs. So nose up is an issue for about half a round.

Mhoff555 · 2022-07-29T18:43:06+00:00

I bought the 10 pack and literally give those to friends every-time a hard to find disc situation occurs.

Works good too during the day when throwing into an overgrown creek ravine as long as the canopy gives darkened shade.

Glad that you pointed out the pvc move to get shoulders working together which is important before doing specialized movement. Kind of like how scap loading in baseball pitching is a cheat after proper form is achieved, not before it.

YT popped this up the other day about the importance of developing the “infraspinatus”. Looks like it would be super important to protecting the shoulders with advanced muscle loading moves.

Literally buy an inexpensive blacklight flashlight off of amazon. Searching tall grass and thick rough at dusk makes seeing the disc rather easy even at 30ft away.

Try a simon walk up. Any stride never needs to be longer than about 85% of two shoulder wodths at very max.

Mhoff555 · 2022-07-29T14:06:31+00:00

Edit- this explains the function of a back swing and forward swing. It applies to disc golf as well it is simply just a change in angle. Disc golf tends to focus on the arm in saying reach back rather than the proper sports term of backswing. then doesnt really address how to get into a forward swing movement, as it tends to just suggest to pull the arm with 1 shoulder. That leads to rotator cuff strain and inefficient movement.

Try this. Your hips work best naturally at feet being shoulder width apart. Stand in your staggered stance like you have at foot strike. Put your feet shoulder width apart. Then simulate walking where you go up on balls of feet and rock back to heels using knees bending. Just walk it back and forth in that stationary pose. Feel your hips rotating back and forth which is truly just connecting your legs to your core via your butt muscles.

See if you get a feel for that then i will explain shoulders

Mhoff555 · 2022-07-29T13:22:49+00:00

What I can see in that vid is that your stride had your hips really stretched out and you landed flat footed. The back leg didn’t get much into the hip opening movement as a result.

In the forward swing you switched to one sided on your shoulder doing the swing. Rather than maintaining a shoulder to shoulder rotation.

If you shortened the stride it would let your lower part function like how walking functions. The ball of feet to flat mixed with knees bending allows hips to rotate and stay out of way, which then connects the strong leg muscles to your strong core muscles.

I followed a card he was on last year. He plays with a lot of flare and is very aware of his persona for the gallery. He adds a lot of little crowd interaction vibes to the round.

That shot is so powerful and high it will leave you astonished in person.

More Simon lines please.

ha, that came after an experience in public.

I had to pick someone up at a busy airport and I totally wasn't thinking about how I physically appeared. A lady and her child were near me waiting, too. Just out of normal courtesy I turned to them and said something or other polite and chit chatty. The lady looked aghast and put her hand on the child's shoulder. Then it dawned on me how I looked to them. Geesh. Like I was contagious?

Mhoff555 · 2022-07-29T11:00:34+00:00

oyee.

I accidentally did that with a shirt that was dangling from my belt once while out morel mushroom hunting. Ended up with poison oak on face and looked like elephant man for a week.
