Your shoulder diagnosis (injury) is what is causing your pain at the moment BUT what is MORE IMPORTANT is the MULTIFACTORIAL CAUSES of the injury.

For swimmers specifically, dealing with swimmer's shoulder often means a comprehensive approach to both rehab and performance training. Thanks for reinforcing that real healing goes beyond just the diagnosis!
