shoulder pain and popping joint
I fell/slid out of a crescent today and as I did my shoulder popped quite a bit as I came down. I’m okay (thank goodness for a mat and a bendy back) but my shoulder feels weird and keeps popping. What can I do to help it go away faster? Would a sports/deep tissue massage relieve this kind of thing? Is there anything else I can do?

I'm sorry you hurt your shoulder!!
With anyhting joint-related I'd suggest checking in with a chiropractor. He might be able to get it back in place and if not will know who to refer you to.
I'm not sure if sports/deep tissue massage would be good, I'd ask a massage therapist who does therapeutic and/or trigger point massage.
I'm not an MD, so take my 2 cents as suggestions not advice, but it helped with my SI joint trouble.
Hope your shoulder will heal fast and you'll feel better soon!!

Other alternatives would be a physio or sports doctor. I add them because I once had a chiro fail to diagnose a fracture in my back and just try to "click" it into place right over the fracture site (!) And he was the official chiropractor for the Olympics too! That said, chiro works great for my Nanna, so I'm sure they're not all bad.
It's probably a good idea to get someone to have a look at it to make sure there's nothing serious and make sure practice won't make it worse. Otherwise, there's RICE – rest, ice, compression, elevation (only the first two are easy on a shoulder) for the first 24 or 48 hours (google will help with the correct amount of time) and then massage and heat after I think it's 48 hours.
Hope it's feeling better soon!
