Just started and reaching is a big problem for me, which puts a lot of load on my shoulders, tiring me out very fast. Definitely going to do this exercise daily!

This is truly "old school" dragon boat technique that will destroy your shoulders. The problem is the top arm. When the top arm is extended like that it is only supported by the rotator cuff muscles which are very small and relatively weak. If you drive that top arm down from that extended position you eventually will injure yourself. Look at the best paddlers out there, the Tahitians, and you will see less rotation and less height on that top arm. With the top arm slightly bent and lower it is supported by the larger muscles around the shoulder and much less prone to injury.

Good to know. Thanks for the insight!

EXACTLY! Plus, the combination of rotating and bending (hinging) to that extreme degree will greatly increase the probability of a lower back injury.

Which exercises do you do for team cordination and pace¿

Great question. I was never a coach for an entire team, so I can’t really answer that one.

Don't over extend your shoulders like that, it will give you shoulder injury especially where you use as your digging arm. Digging arm shouldn't be over extended. I follow your advice now it gives me shoulder pain.

Hey sorry to hear that. Many more variables to an injury. If it's a shoulder strain it should recover in a few weeks.

I get a lot of pain in my right shoulder. I mostly paddle in the right any recommendations?
@ryanbalmesdpt6 жыл бұрын
I'd suggest to figure out if the pain is while paddling or afterwards. If the pain is while paddling, what portion of the stroke is the pain present? that'll give you clues as to what tissues are potentially implicated. ultimately a good hands on evaluation with a PT would help give your detailed insight. When you have a lots of pain, you have to be careful with how you continue to paddle, as you may result in another injury at another compensating portion of your body.

I have extreme lower back pain after each dragon boat session. I want to strengthen it at home so practice padding air while sitting on a coffee table. However it felt useless because there was no resistance so now I am equipped with a weighted vest. Still however I feel mostly in shoulder and not the lower back. I would like to get your opinion on this DR ENDVR. Should this benefit my back or am I doing ot wrong e.g. bad posture
@ryanbalmesdpt6 жыл бұрын
Not sure if the weighted vest will help since you're already experiencing pain with just your own body weight. Does that make sense? The resistance you're looking for is at the paddle and not weight at just your trunk. Our group here in Atlanta practices at the side of the pool to get that resistance you're looking for. Obviously not the same since the pool is static vs out in open water, but it helps. Your low back pain may be a variety of reasons. Did you go too hard during practice? Is practice too long? How is your paddling form? Lots of questions to consider! It may not be a strength issue but instead pain with your session may be a programming issue of your practices for you (not necessarily for the team, unless everyone on your team is hurting too!)
