Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Stephen Wolf

A cycling accident resulted in frozen a left shoulder with limited arm movement and moderate to high pain. Dr. Fealy and Jason were able to see me in my building over the course of nine months and clearly explained not just the surgical and non-surgical alternatives but the likely path forward on each.

There was zero pressure to choose surgery. There was an extremely high level of expertise and sympathy describing in detail what was happening in my shoulder capsule and what each PT exercise is designed to do (first unfreezing the capsule, then re-strengthening the muscle groups).

As with all PT, it is important to listen accurately and follow the instructions of the doctors and therapists. This was by far the best experience I have ever had with physical therapy.

Outstanding experience and highly recommended.
