Can anyone recommend someone in my area? I'd prefer to use someone who people can vouch for, someone with an insane amount of knowledge on shoulders would be ideal, someone like this guy;

I've injured one of my shoulders and I've done it three times in my life so far. Once about 4 years ago doing wide(ish) grip pullups, once about a year ago trying to fingerboard and yesterday, again trying to fingerboard - specifically doing some wide(ish) grip pullups on edges.

If I go past shoulder width for pullups/hangs I do something nasty to my shoulder joint. I can't quite identify the cause put an external rotation test proved very painful, even without resistance against the roation (I thought I was going to be sick the pain was so bad)!

Thanks for any recommendations.

I thought you could never break the chain.

I'm constantly broken, but shoulder pain is a new one. I've had lots of pulley, tendon and the odd elbow problems but the shoulders need to be sorted before I can start training.

This was my second ever fingerboard session and both times I knackered my shoulder in the same way. I want to take my climbing a bit more seriously and do some proper training but the shoulders need to be fixed first!

Go see Nina Leonfellner. She sorted out my shoulder when I couldn't move my arm and she wrote the recent series on climbing injuries in Climb.
