So, I just bought my first boat (4Fun) about two weeks ago. I have been all pumped about getting out to the whitewater park here in Charlotte. My brother was in town last weekend and he spent about 30 minutes teaching me to roll. Of course I was sore as hell the next day........but as the soreness wore off I noticed that my right shoulder was still sore. I got a massage Saturday and the therapist said it could very well be a pulled muscle. It's under my right scapula and grabs at times. I'm extremely irritated because I was going to get on the water this week.
Has anyone had any similar problems? I left weights about 3 days every week and play golf......my flexibility and strength are good. I never would have imagined pulling a muscle trying to learn a damn roll! Should I stay off the water until the pain is completely gone?? |

 I know lots of folks who lift weights regularly and then complain of soreness.... hardboater New - Too much pulling with your arms, not enough hipsnap. Bradley New
