The injured shoulder underwent a rotator cuff repair in order to rectify the situation, as a result all localised   mobility was lost.
This injury had originally ocurred during a sports exercise session. The initial condition was pain. It was hoped that this would cease after time and rest. Over the following year the pain had increased and mobility decreased.

Eventually, by December 2005 the GP suggested an operation to help release what was holding the joint and to make space in the socket.

After the operation, the arm and shoulder were immobilised for some weeks and following this, physiotherapy was administered.

Recovery was slow and over the following 8 months mobility was still very much impaired and the pain was still an issue. There was quite a degree of muscle wastage which also took many months to rectify.

His therapist at the hospital discharged him on the 7th August 2006, advising that they were unable to do more for him.

One week later his range of movement and reach increased by a further 2 inches and was now increased in total by almost 4 inches! He still was benefitting from pain relief, however the occasional pain returned with over use but there seemed to be less stiffness.

His progress continued with our sessions and his daily regime of exercises (given by the physiotherapist from the hospital). Until September 2006 he had, had 11 sessions. (3rd photograph) 

By this time the mobility and strength increased enough to enable this arm to move without much additional help from either the other arm or another person.

He will be take a Scenar break very soon, and this will most likely be for some weeks to allow the body to assimilate all the new information it has received (during which time more changes will be expected). Then most likely he will resume a small number of sessions to encourage the complete restoration and regeneration of lost ability. Once this process is complete he will be able to assume a new exercise regime in order to rebuild lost muscle tissue where necessary.

February 2007 - Clearly, there were several changes yet again that did occur during the break period, such as greater mobility and less pain or stiffness. Being a winter period there had been a small number of mild complaints in other areas as would normally be expected, such as slight breathing difficulties and mild colds etc but although these had presented symptoms, only a limited number. Work on these had been included in our treatment sessions. The next monitored break period began in March 2007. This time for several weeks and again we resumed treating when there were a small number of mild symptoms that had returned, in the beginning of June 2007.
