    It will help to reduce inflammation in your shoulder.

    Read the Exercise Booklet

    Please read this Post-op booklet (open pdf-file, last upload 2021).
    These exercises are very important. In the first 24 hours you need to do these every hour, even waking up during night for best results.

    Take your x-rays with you

    Please take your x-rays (neck and shoulder) with you on disk or flash drive (or the originals on film).

    Originals (digital or on film) allow us to see more details. If you have MRIs, you can take these with you too.
    If some x-rays are missing, let us know in advance what x-rays are missing so we can prepare the referral note for our x-ray clinic.

    What to Expect After the MCD

    PLEASE READ FROZEN SHOULDER OAT PROCEDURE POST-OP INFORMATION

    Have a support person

    Consider having someone here with you.

    It is highly recommended that you have someone with you–especially for the first night after the procedure. They can also support you during the procedure. Most importantly after the procedure, it is helpful to have someone who can assist you with the exercises and provide moral support.

    Learn to breathe

    Please watch this video and learn how to breathe and move during the procedure.

    Breathing correctly during the procedure and while doing the exercises is very helpful.

    What to wear?

     Wear comfortable clothes for procedure (no shoes). Therapist Linley Leuthard needs to have access to your shoulder and neck.

    For women we suggest to wear either a sports bra or a sleeveless top (tank-top, strap-top etc) – for your own comfort.
