I am constantly moving my arms from above my head to by my side and it is in this movement that it dislocates always when i through my arms forewards.
By always, do you mean the 2 times it has dislocated?
It is 8 months since it last dislocated and recently it has given me some difficulty. It feels very loose and as if it is going to dislocate all the time when i am training.
A physiotherapist can perform a very simple test to examine shoulder laxity, have you seen a Physio?
My shoulder is lax and also hyper extends - i was wondering if there is any way i can tape or strap my shoulder to give it some support so i can compete in 2 weeks time.
Taping or strapping your shoulder is only a temporary solution to a chronic problem. A physiotherapy assessment, and treatment plan is the best bet to resolving this issue for sure.

Any ideas appreciated
Thanks
