i'm in the U.K. And have been given a group of exercises to do with an exercise band and static ones against a wall. This is under the NHS. Has anyone had success with these exercises?

    Hi

    Sadly yes!!

    I have had a lot of problems with both shoulders over the last 3 years , with various tendinitis and frozen shoulder problems . Last year I was offered another op but decided I needed to sort it out myself - so I concentrated on physio exercises and then went to a gym and got a personal trainer who was trained in sports injuries -it has been a lot of work but I have improved the strength and flexibility of arms and shoulders and general fitness!

    My arms are not perfect but I feel much more able to cope and the pains are now minimal

    So , yes , do the exercises and keep building up the strength , rather boring!but in my view essential

    Good luck

    Reporting back really. My problems have largely disappeared after exercises with the rubber bands and seeing the therapist. Can scratch the middle of my back now!
