Nik the Trik said:I've separated each of my shoulders so I know how painful it can be but I don't entirely get the "couldn't work out at all" thing though. The way I understand it is there are three grades of shoulder separation. The first grade is the least serious and the third is the one where they'll repair it surgically. I had one of each.
When it had to be repaired surgically it did keep me on the shelf for quite a while. The less serious version hurt and required a lot of rehab but I could still, you know, run.
With shoulder issues, you're only going to be doing running and isolated leg presses, rather than more complex lifts to engage the whole kinetic chain that you need in hockey.
Either way, our bioscience team is on it, and he's now playing some 18 minutes a night so our team did something right.
