Shoulder Pain Causes, Conditions and Treatments

Michael Bushell

Tennis and swimming puts a strain on the shoulders. Over a 20 year span, had 3 shoulder, one wrist operation. Last year, was cautioned that to have another op on the right shoulder would be too risky. Plan B then was to build up the shoulder to make up for the torn muscle. Nine months of physical therapy worked. No butterfly stroking, and some changes to my backhand and serve, but I'm back on the court.
