Exercise I can do while injured

Did you get a physio referral?

I did, for all the good it does me at them moment. I'm supposed to be training with the TA this weekend but I can't get an appointment until monday. It's a little difficult to convince my JUO that I can't train when I can walk about fine. The difficult part is trying to get across the point that I can't run at all and so much as a small misstepp that causes my knee to twist could see me crashing to the ground with 20+kg worth of kit, making a large racket in the process and holding up the whole damn column.

Ask if you can just do some sniper practice.

Ok so after 4 weeks of not training I decided to see a doctor. My shoulder had been getting better slowly but spurred on by people's advice I thought it best to get it checked out before re-starting BJJ. Luckily we have healthcare at work so I was seen and xrayed within half hour. Apparently my AC joint has ruptured the ligament that stretches over the shoulder joint. Because my shoulder didn't hurt when the doc played around with it he thinks it's nothing too bad and to give it 6 weeks from when I got it before training again and have an additional 6 weeks of physio as a precautionary measure and to build the strength back up. So I should be back at training in a couple of weeks :)
I've already started swimming and weights (but being sure to miss out the heavy shoulder exercises for a while).
