I'm a physio myself, and I injured my right shoulder about 6 weeks ago, and just want some opinions and advice.

I was at (Australian Rules) Football training, and was practicing head-on tackling. I had my arms stretched out in front of me, and copped a blow to my hand, which pushed my right shoulder back into it's socket. I felt and immediate clunk, but no dislocation. My arm felt dead for about 1minute, and very weak, not to mention about 8/10 pain.

I retained full AROM flexion, rotation, but had about 50% hand behind back. It was not tender to palpate. The pain was deep, intermittent, and sharp. Aggs were hand behind back, and sleeping on the painful side.

Now, I don't notice it, until my hand is behind my back (ext, IR). My HBB is about to the inferior angle of my scap (P1), compared with to the scapular spine on my left side.

I have subluxed both shoulders once each. My brother has had surgery on a chronically unstable shoulder. I am 27.

Thoughts on what exactly I injured?
Thoughts on treatment?
Cheers,
