physio shows some benefits initially but at 52 week follow-up there is no difference when compared to watch and wait policy

What I hope to get from a physio is the ability to get back to climbing faster & (hopefully) a reduced chance of re-occurrence.
Is it possible that the reputation (among climbers) of the injury-proofing effect of antagonist training is this incidental strengthening of the shoulder stabilisers (when donne with the correct form)?
It'd be interesting to know if any of the more waif-like members of the board .... Dense
I think the 'reputation' of any 'antagonist' exercises stems from misguided folks that think doing 50 pressups a day is going to save them from tendonitis.
It'd be interesting to know if any of the more waif-like members of the board have ever suffered from elbow issues: Paul, Sausage, Dense etc? I reckon Wobble and to a slightly lesser extent Messrs Clifford and Birch of of a body type which will be less susceptible to elbow problems in the first place.
I'm a fan of "turkish get ups" .....

Climb more = elbows and shoulders get out of balance, need to climb less to let 'elbows catch up with climbing'?
