Many of you have asked me for tips on how I’m healing my torn rotator cuff. Here’s what I’m doing:
- Heat/Ice/Compression
- Electrical Stim
- REST. I laid off strength training that irritated my shoulder and did minimal running for 3 weeks
- Strengthening exercises
- Krill Oil. Know how I always say the universe gives you exactly what you need when you need it? That’s how I feel about this Krill Oil. Everest Nutrition asked me to try out their Krill Oil right before the whole shoulder fiasco. I’m already a fish oil guppy I mean groupie, so try it I did.
According to Everest Nutrition:
Krill Oil is harvested from Antarctic krill, a shrimp-like ocean crustacean. Ingesting this oil can have amazing affects on your body, including:
- Stronger heart
- Pain-free joints
- Enhanced mood
- Lower cholesterol
- Easier menstruation
- Less inflammation
- Improved brain function and and overall better health
Instantly I was wary of any fish odor, burps, etc. Instead of softgels, Everest Krill comes in Caplique form for freshness and to eliminate the odors/taste, etc. Mission accomplished. Even whiffing the open bottle was odor-free. I take 2 capsules with a meal daily. It may be too soon to tell after a single bottle of Krill Oil, and certainly I’ve been doing other things to expedite healing, but my shoulder is pain-free and the rest of my tired joints are feeling pretty darn good too.
Foam rolling and stretching! Learned that lesson the hard way!
I try to keep up with exercises I was taught in PT to keep my legs pain free. I also take fish oil and tart cherry juice pills each day.
Foam rolling and getting in a good warm up and cool down with my hard workouts!
i’ve never heard of krill oil before!
Stretch and hydrate! Good luck with the rotator cuff.
I have regular dates with Mr Foamie! Love my roller. Also i get Active Release (ART) done and it helps keep my muscles happy!! I use a golf ball to massage my feet too. ahhhhh. hurt so good.
I roll and stretch!!!

Ooooh. I want to try krill oil!
My main pain problem is my left knee. I take a glucosamine/condroitant supplement, a calcium fructoborate supplement, and a collegen type ii supplement —- all aimed at helping my knee.
I stay pain and injury free by stretching after every workout and also by using my foam roller and visiting my chiropractor on a regular basis.
I don’t do a very good job staying pain free these days! I’ve never tried any type if fish oil – probably should!!
foam roll, yoga, and listen to my body, take rest days
I don’t do much to stay pain or injury free except to make sure I take rest days and listen to my body. I actually recently starting taking Krill Oil as well.
I registered for the Boston virtual race. 🙂
Id love to try some krill oil. When I wake up my wrists, shoulders and ankles have audible popping/clicking noises. It doesn’t hurt but the sound is annoying.
Hmm…how I stay pain and injury free. Hard to say while my muscles are aching today. But I listen to my body. If I push too hard one day then I don’t push as hard the next to make sure I’m not going overboard. However, it is hard to do when you have a goal in mind and you’re trying to achieve it.
Stretching, Advil, Epsom baths @ ice
listen to my body and rest when necessary!
Massage! and rest
Krill oil, huh? Not so sure… 🙂

Have heard so much about krill oil lately and wondering if all it’s claims are genuine? Obviously the experts think so, the list of benefits are amazing.
I’m glad recovery is going well! I don’t know about the krill oil, for me personally, but I’m glad it is working for you!
Stretch and drink plenty of water. Wear the appropriate clothing!
So glad you are better!
