I recently did something to my shoulder, which was most likely done in yoga. The doctor said it was a result of either the shoulder joint and cartilage rubbing together repetitively or them being pressed together for too long in one position.
===> You must at this stage decide whether you completely trust the doctor's statement. The answer should be ONLY Yes or No. it must not be 'may be'.
I feel pretty good how, but I've been out of classes for almost a month and doing only a minor home practice. I know I need to ease back into things.
===> This is Fantastic.
What poses should I avoid all together for awhile? I'm thinking inversions, shoulderstand but I'm not sure what else?
===> If you completely trust in the Doctor, you must ask this question to the Doctor showing all the poses to him. Then, make a list of those to be avoided. If he can not tell you, then you must trash the doctor opinion. And, if he can tell you, you must avoid that list.
===> If you do not trust in the Doctor, you should go to an experienced teacher with your own body present in front of the teacher, and take a list from the teacher.
===> if you wish to learn how to make this decision of list yourself (list of poses to be avoided), you must take a Serious Teacher Training.
Can anyone recommend any resources to read up on working with these type of injuries?
===> You must NOT read any book in this matter, except of course my response to your post.
