I wonder whether you, Doctor Cameron, or anyone else looking at this forum has come across this? If not, have a look at www.frozenshoulder.com. Simeon Niel-Asher is an osteopath who has worked out a very successful way of working to thaw frozen shoulders a lot faster than would happen naturally. And he has produced a really thoroughgoing self-help package for frozen shoulder sufferers.  There is the treatment book, which contains a lot of information about frozen shoulders, how to work out whether your particular type of frozen shoulder is likely to respond to the treatment sequence he has worked out, and details of the treatment itself. Treatment can be given by a partner, friend or bodywork practitioner of some kind. There is an accompanying DVD which shows the techniques in detail. There is also a book of exercises (divided into those suitable at each of the 3 stages - freezing, frozen and thawing), which also includes tips to minimise the pain when it is at its worst.

I am an acupuncturist and while I find acupuncture very effective in many cases of shoulder pain, it often doesn’t do very much for adhesive capsulitis. I bought Simeon Niel-Asher’s materials and used the treatment with great success for a lady in her 70s. She also found the exercise book helpful and clear. Both her levels of pain and range of movement improved dramatically in a short time.

There are masses of testimonials on the site, but as yet I’ve only had the opportunity to try it once. But I was amazed by the results.

If anyone else has tried this, I’d be interested in what your experience was.
