Back in January of 2008 I got active response therapy done on my right shoulder to break up all of the scar tissue that built up as a result of my shoulder injury back in 2001.
I have found that I have to go back every once and a while to get the scar tissue broken up again, but overall the experience has been hugely benficial. I used to think that I would just have to live with pain in my neck and shoulder for the rest of my life and that I would always have this lump of scar tissue in my trapezious. I’m very happy to say that I am for the most part now pain free.
I had the work done at the absolute rehab centre in Waterloo.
How did I come to need this you ask? While mountain biking I broke my collarbone and tore it clean off the shoulder (full separation). The bone that broke and detached from my shoulder spun around and a large lump where the end that used to be attached to my shoulder was visible above my shoulder blade on my back.
