Eight years ago I was diagnosed with tendonosis of my rotator cuff and told my only solution was physical therapy and if that didn't work surgery. I lived with the pain for years and my golf and biking activities suffered and so did I.
About 6 months ago I heard about Dr. Monagle and prolothearpy from my yoga teacher. I had six treatments and now the pain is gone.
During the treatments it was a slow process of getting better in little ways. I would notice the pain going away and then coming back. I was discouraged when the pain would come back but Dr. Monagle kept me on track with my treatment plan explaining very patiently how prolothearpy works.
Finally, a month ago, I played 18 holes and completely forgot about the pain! That has not happened in years!
I am still cautious about protecting my shoulder because I feel it is still healing. However, I am so happy to be living without pain!
