Cath’s Story

“About a year ago, I experienced pain in my left shoulder and restricted movement. It got steadily worse over the next few months. I couldn’t pick up and play with my nephews. I couldn’t exercise. Even dressing myself was a challenge. My GP diagnosed a frozen shoulder and recommended pain killers and maybe steroid injections. Other than that they said there was nothing that they could do and it would sort itself out in 2 to 3 years!

A couple of months later, I saw the flyer from Willow mentioning that they could help with a frozen shoulder – I made an appointment for a consultation and started treatment. Everyone at the practice has always been friendly and helpful and I was always kept informed of what to expect in terms of possible effects and timescales.

Within a couple of months I could see major improvements and now, 6 months later, I have almost full movement back in my shoulder. Basically, I have my life back!”
