Problem with my left shoulder and tendonitis...

[jim_0068]

Well i get inflamation from my left shoulder after a lot of balls (practicing) or playing a lot of golf. It isn't horrendously painful but it is WEAK.

I had an arthrogram MRI and it only showed some stretched lining and i had my first day of physical therapy yesterday and the therapist said i have a good case of shoulder tendonitis.

One of the main thing that he thinks would help alleviate a lot of my pain is to transfer more stability in my posture towards my middle back and my traps. He says that i round my shoulders too much and it puts too much pressure on my left shoulder.

He's asking me to change my posture a little bit by getting my back in a little better position as well as rolling my shoulders back and down to alleviate pressure on that shoulder.

Do you think any of this is going to hinder my golf swing in anyway? Obviously i started yesterday and am not going to hit balls for a bit but it feels like i'm in a more "athletic" position and not necessarily tight or tensioned but a little flexed if that makes sense. However it does feel like my balance is better and my backswing plane feels a bit more 'natural'.

Any comments would be appreciated...i'm not sure if i'm a hitter/swinger for sure, but i've seen manzella and use his stroke and i'm pretty sure Yoda said that he teaches full roll hitting.

thanks
