After a repetitive use injury I could no longer raise my elbow to shoulder level without excruciating pain. After just 3 sessions I could raise my hand to the full vertical position. Dr Bortnick has been a lifesaver. I still have many other motions we are working on, but her expertise is abundantly clear. Pain is involved but it is fleeting and clear progress is palpable after each 1 hour session. At 66 —(18 months post quad bypass), I am playing full.court basketball with men in their prime, so being unable to raise my left arm overhead is a huge disadvantage. After therapy completion, I expect to be able to resume a regimen including pull ups, Parallel dips and perhaps vertical pushups once I regain full shoulder range of motion.
