All about Shoulder Pain

The proven, natural, self-help programme.

By Simeon Niel-Asher

By the time you read this, the chances are you are in pain and have probably seen a therapist who hasn’t helped you much. Worse, you may have had injections or surgery which may also have failed to make a difference! The fact is that shoulder pain affects one in five people at one time or another in their lives. Pain often starts with a small injury that gets worse but can sometimes come-on suddenly. Once established it impacts almost every aspect of your life; from dressing to sleeping it can even cause depression. By unlocking the secrets of the frozen shoulder many other shoulder complaints have yielded to my therapy. I have spent the last 10 years helping thousands of patients get their lives back and NOW I would like to share my success with you. But first, let’s explore a few common shoulder complaints together.

Your Diagnosis

By solving the enigma of the frozen shoulder many other shoulder problems can now be treated by the Niel-Asher technique®. Some doctors say “leave a frozen shoulder alone” for 18 months and it will get better on its own. All the published evidence suggests that even after 5 years 70% of patients are left with some shoulder disability. Clearly they have never had to suffer the pain and misery which you are in! The good news is, with our programme, the longer you have had the stiffness the easier it is to treat!
