Describe the movements you make hauling...obviously, I've no idea just
how tender your shoulder is, but your technique might be contributing to
this (and I suspect it is).

Thanks, but actually I'm pretty satisfied with the length, speed,
timing, degree of abruptness of start and stop, etc., of my hauling.
And pretty much satisfied with most of several dozen other daily or
habitual actions that make the tendinitis hurt, as well as the even more
numerous actions that don't. Some I modify to avoid/lessen the pain, of
course, others I don't or can't...

I agree fully, though, with what you say about the need to take PT
seriously and observe the prescribed regime strictly. Unfortunately, I
also think (as you were in part alluding to) that the prospects for
average folks well into middle age, dealing with problems caused by
decades of wear and tear, *are* probably much less promising than for
younger, very fit folks who suffer a specific discrete injury.

I was interested more in folks' experience with this particular problem
rather than with PT experiences in general (not that folks' thoughts on
those aren't also welcome....)
