1st pic (pre-treatment): maximum shoulder mobility
2nd pic (post-treatment): normal shoulder mobility
Really proud and happy for my client Nancy to see the massive improvements after a few treatments together.
Nancy came to my clinic last month with diagnosed "frozen shoulders", a not very well understood condition in which the shoulder joint loses its mobility and makes some movements become physically impossible or/and very painful.
She spent hours with physiotherapists and osteopaths both in Canada and Malta, but unfortunately with little results after 1 year trying everything to improve.
No wonder Nancy didn't come to me with much hope. However, after carefully assessing her shoulders with special testings, I told Nancy that I believed I could help.
Using advanced Neuromuscular techniques such as "Muscle Energy Techniques" (that I tend to use with almost every single of my clients as much as I believe they work wonders), but also specific mobilisations of the shoulder joint and the scapula in different plane of motions, I was pleased to note the improvements we made after only 3 sessions.
With some "stretching" advice and general maintenance to keep doing regularly, I'm delighted to say that today Nancy has recovered most of her "normal" shoulder mobility, flexibility and strength and can now get back to using her arms the way she pleases without restriction or pain.
Nancy, thank you again for your trust and well done to YOU, as YOUR body did everything, I only facilitated the healing process to happen.
Stay fit, stay healthy, stay strong! πͺπ
