My return to bowling after 6 years as been cut short due to an injured shoulder. I will be blogging about my injury and through the process of the surgery and rehab. Also profiling my rehab back to the lanes, and utilmately to competing in at least one major in 2013. My ultimate goal is to bowl the Team USA trials, Masters and US Open. Hope you enjoy my journey!

Follow Up #2
Well yesterday was the second follow up and because of my flexibility they are already pushing me pretty good. Got on the sono heat and then started exercises. First I did some shoulder stretches just moving the shoulder blades. Next I used a fitness/yoga ball doing some finger roll which didn't bother me at all, and I was almost completely extended. Then was pendulum swings; I did rotation, side to side and front to back(almost a bowling motion). It all felt fine until the front to back, the joints and muscles were just too tight and it hurt a bit, but I was getting some great motion. I went back to the fitness/yoga ball for more rolls and was back to great extension again. Last was the electrical stimulation and the game ready; game ready is a machine that pulsates ice water through a padded shoulder brace and it feels amazing! All day after this session I was a little sore and really tightened up and by the evening I was hurting a bit. Today I am still a little sore but it feels pretty good again and I am starting to work the motion a little more. I am still sticking to my theory of my EFX band and my flexibility. Well, that's it for now and I thank you for reading and will post again after my Friday therapy. Last thing I can say is that I REALLY miss bowling at this point. Until next time...
