I developed severe frozen shoulder in 2025 and attended two physiotherapists over a period of time. The second physiotherapist told me I would need injections to help me heal, as I had no range of motion. I found it really difficult and severely painful to do everyday things like getting dressed, washing my hair, pulling a curtain, driving and putting on a seatbelt. This was all happening in my right shoulder, and as I’m right-handed, it made things particularly difficult.

 

I found Fiona online, which was a godsend, because I could do the exercises online at a time that suited both of us. It took me a couple of weeks, and in the meantime, I had an appointment with a specialist at the Blackrock Clinic in Dublin, which I had been waiting for. I found Fiona online and started exercising with her, and within a couple of weeks, I had my range of motion back, which was a godsend.

 

When I attended the specialist, he told me that I didn’t require injections at that time and that I should continue with whatever I was doing with Fiona. There was no need for injections at that stage because my movement was coming back.

 

Without Fiona’s help, I feel I would just have been waiting for injections, one after another, because nobody else seemed to be able to help me with my frozen shoulder.
