Okay, I have a shoulder that I've repeatedly injured. It's always my left one. I first hurt it putting an infant car seat in the back of a car with Mark in it. He was probably 6 months old. It seemed to heal up okay. I was taken out by a tuber on a sled hill several years later and landed funny on it. Fell roller blading with the young women. Lastly, I was helping my Mom clean her fireplace glass. I lifted up with my arms way out in front of me and felt it go. That was in November of 2024. I figured if I just rested it, it would eventually heal up. It felt sore for a long while and I started to lose range of motion. I saw a physical therapist in May but it just wasn't getting better. I saw a shoulder physical therapist advertise on Instagram. Oi. It seems like such a scam. So I cautiously reached out to him because I couldn't lift my arm much above shoulder height and I'd lost pretty much all my external rotation. I didn't want surgery and this was feeling like a last ditch effort. He met me on Instagram messenger and had me try a few movements. Then told me the cost, which was $3,000 but he was very confident that I could get my arm going again without surgery. I'm so glad I did. It's A TON of exercises but I can already feel a difference.
We meet every week with a virtual meeting and he tweaks my program. I'm so excited to get my shoulder working again.
