That is interesting Somewhere, I will go check that out.
I have a 71 year old woman friend who had shoulder surgery and honestly she is not all that much better. And she followed all the exercizes. I'll go check out Essentrics, thanks.
It helped me a great deal. I attended one of her retreats so I could thank her in person.
Thx for this, I can't even raise my right hand above my hip since last year. Hope your having a great day somewhere
Check it out, it may help.
