About
The Book
This survival guide is not meant to prescribe. It is a very helpful guide to understand what is “frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).” Examples to understand if you are experiencing symptoms for what to do, getting medical advice, and things to incorporate to help improve that can be done at home and without a prescription available to all. It goes through my personal journey and with my background how I navigated and what I found worked well to move from discomfort to healing and how I chose the type of therapy for me that created least disruption to such a delicate and essential joint that I did not want long term issues when I was older that might manifest from aggressive treatment. In looking at only frozen shoulder that arrives unexpectedly is the focus. If a frozen shoulder from injury or post-surgery is mentioned but no detailed recovery is mentioned. This book encompasses not only the physical issue, but the duration, exhaustion, emotional and close family challenges that are all part of this debilitating event. It is a must read for family members too, as they tend to think you look fine, and not realize this journey goes from uncomfortable to excruciating over a long period. The sufferer and family need to know how to best hope the one suffering. Support is key along with positive encouragement.
