I was told by a physio to keep my head down as much as possible and look up with my eyes, not my neck and spine. He expressly recommended "lizard paddling" as a way to avoid neck issues.
This is what I've been into the past few months.
The chick is a good sort in the vid so you might sit through the 4 mins.
Foundation training is great for hips, hamstrings and back.
My mate who teaches this was TB's surf coach/PT for the past 7 years and this is what fixed his hip and back problems.
I've never felt better all round.
Combining this with a few circuit/cross fit classes at 5 am and I'm a new man.
Looking forward to getting back out in the surf this spring.
the best surfing exercise and best fat burner is the berpee,,,league players love them …..not
My issue with my shoulder stems from a calcific spur as well as calcific tendinitis (calcification of the tendon).
Two weeks ago I had the tendon needled under ultrasound to try to break up some of the calcium deposit throughout the tendon, they then injected cortisone to finish off.
Typically I get very poor results from the cortisone, so given the fact my shoulder is currently feeling better than it has for a long time I'm hopeful this procedure may have helped this time. Or maybe the cortisone has hit its mark.
Next step would be surgery which I'm absolutly happy to do if it means solving the issue. I'm just over having to constantly be protecting the shoulder with every movement you'd normally make without a second thought.
) I had trouble getting enough wind for more than 20 minutes of paddling. Then came the lower back issues, shoulder pain, wrist pain and sometimes neck and upper spine pain. Take my left wrist, Scaphoid joint was heavy with arthritis and calcium build up. Acupuncture and a serious bit of massage with a hard backed piece of plastic cured it within about 8 weeks. Before I couldn't do any bicep training, now I don't feel it.
Okay MR, so you're in pain every time you surf !!!! well that explains a lot
BTW, Ill be back from Melbourne on Thursday night so I should be down at the local nice and early on Friday morning, sucking down coffee and looking for a excuse not to go in.
