I have shoulder tendonitis, and/or bursitis in my right shoulder. Could you please advice some special powerball exercises for this problem. Many thanks in advance, Béla

I would be delighted to.:)

Regardless of whether its tendonitis or bursitis, the most important thing is you do NOT exercise with your arm higher than your shoulder. In fact, you are much better, to start with, spinning the PB with your arm very slightly in front of you, but with your elbow against your side. As you get better, try lifting your arm very slightly away from your side and if that doesn't hurt, move it a little further out. Again don't go above shoulder height.

If you feel any pain, go back to keeping your arm tucked in. Aim for a maximum of 10 minutes a day, preferably in several shorter sessions of 2-3 minutes.

If you can do a full 10 minutes with your arm out at a 45 degree anglefrom your side, you don't have a tendonitis. You may still have a bursitis. If it doesn't settle naturally an injection can be tried and, as a last resort, surgery. But you won't need that, because you are a powerballer. And powerballers are bulletproof. (allegedly) :D

Good luck

I have this but it never seems to ache while powerballing, my physio says it's bursitis as well. Had some ultrasound and acupuncture. Will let you know how it goes. The big thing is to not aggrivate it bloody hard though

If you permit some advice: with these dioagnostics it's imperative you begin in a soft program and maintain there till you see the strength of you muscles and members.
Don't precipitate to worse your clinical problem.
I love powerballing but we have to be mature enough to know that has a lack of scientific comprovation of its benefits.
I still discussed it in another topic.
