    @highihid , wishing you fast healing. I had shoulder surgery a year ago for labral tear and tendon anchoring. I suggest going slowly. LIterally. 40, 50, 60 bpm. I was able to play pain free at those tempos and I gradually began increasing speed from there. Be observant of how your shoulder feels. If it starts hurting fi nd another way to do it. Subtle changes in posture and arm position made a big difference for me. In some ways I think I may be a better player for having gone through it because it forced me to slow down and pay attention to tension big time. Being forced to play without tension was satisfyingly benefi cial .
