Shoulders

   I have had bum shoulders before. I used to be called a T rex when doing my forms, because well I looked like one. I could not extend my arms to far without suffering repercussions. Then one day I got into a car accident and finally started to take care of my bum shoulders; with physiotherapy. 

   Now I have a single bum shoulder this time. The two differences for me this time is the first time I waited so long to get better and my flow was slightly off kilter, because both shoulder did the same thing; not move. This time I have seeked out physiotherapy sooner, but my flow when doing forms is immensely thrown off.

  I have to be careful of not using my right shoulder carelessly and hold back which in return subconsciously make me do the wrong move or hold back as well with the good shoulder. I will pull a punch with the good shoulder when it could throw properly.

  The injury in my right shoulder is actually not a major injury at all. I was making fast healing progress in the beginning of this injury, but now it seems to have plateaued. I am sort of getting better. There is no major pain but I feel a lot of soreness. It could just be the healing process. 

  All I can do is keep up with my Physio. I know it will be better someday. This time it hopefully just takes a few more months or less. Rather than me taking years like last time, but to be fair the first time I just thought I had no time and I can just deal with it. So making better decisions already.
