"I am delighted to recommend Simeon's work, I am sure you will all gain benefit from his new technique for treating your frozen shoulders."

The Niel-Asher Technique®

Revolutionary, safe, natural, proven.

Simeon Niel-Asher

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. Clearly they have never had to suffer the pain and misery which you are in! Also the facts are that after 5 years 70% of patients are still left with some type of shoulder stiffness. Traditional treatments involve drugs, injections and even surgery – yet none of these are really necessary. Essentially a frozen shoulder results from an exaggerated response of the brain. Don't take our word for it! Practitioners all over the world are now using this simple but powerful hands-on therapy which taps-into the bodies own innate healing. You will find many patients' success stories, clinically proven results and articles about this pioneering method published in many Journals and Newspapers.

You do not have to suffer alone anymore for years and years; we have found that for most people. The longer you have had the problem the easier it is to treat.

How does it work?

Changing the way the brain and body communicate.

Frozen shoulder syndrome is considered to be the end-point for other shoulder problems – yet it is an enigma! It seems to occur mainly in women as they enter the menopause prompting some authorities to suggest a ‘hormonal’ component – but why does it occur 40% in men? Once it has gone away it never returns again (although 10-12% of people get it on the other side). It has the same history and manifestation in all people regardless of race, gender or age. What is going on?

Like other enigmas, solving this problem has allowed us an insight into how the thrown up many new ideas and concepts about the human brain and body respond to injury (click here for more information).

Why is it different?

Traditional approaches to the frozen shoulder either address the inflammation (steroid tablets, steroid injections and hydrodilatation) or the stiffness (physical therapy, exercise therapy and surgical manipulation). Physical therapies attempt to improve the range of motion by forcing the shoulder through the blockage; this in our opinion can make things considerably worse. (click here for more information)

We have ancient deep seated reflexes programmed into our nervous systems which respond to pain. Essentially as an animal we can’t afford to show we are injured as it will make us vulnerable to predators. The brain responds to shoulder injuries by ‘switching off’ normal muscular co-ordination. In a frozen shoulder we call this the ‘capsular pattern’; this is where the arm is held in a sling-like position with the shoulder raised. All shoulder problems manifest this ‘switching off’ in one way or another, but in the frozen shoulder it is most apparent. The brain is at the centre of this – and it is the brain where The Niel-Asher technique works. By stimulating a sequence of reflexes hidden in the muscles, the technique sends new messages to the brain. It responds quickly by using the correct muscles and re-setting those forgotten movement patterns. It is a bit like putting in a new piece of software and re-booting the system!
