The Dangerous Phase

It has now been a couple of weeks since I decided to try and look cool with a flying shoulder roll, only to do a number to my shoulder.

This was not a smart idea, as this is something I haven't practiced in some time. However, there are no take backs and in reality, it could have been much worse. I did learn much though, the main idea is body awareness. Where am I and what am I doing?

Moving forward, I am now entering what is called "The Dangerous Phase" in my recovery. My shoulder is feeling much better... in terms of movement anyway. However muscle engagement is still a long way away from 100%.

This is spooky because it is easy to forget the injury and attempt something I could normally do. This causes pain and slows down the recovery. Again, the importance of body awareness is crucial if I wish to have this healed properly. It's not that it has happened often, but a couple times trying to lift a bag or push open a door is a couple times too many.

Slow and steady progression; that sounds familiar, doesn't it? This will be a great test of my patience.

Take care everyone.
