The pain has virtually disappeared. And it is just wonderful! I think it is amazing! It’s wonderful! It’s Incredible! I have told my doctor I would like him to know more about it. I think as people are aware of what it is and what it and as people experience it’s just incredible!

I saw a general surgeon and I told him just to cut my arm off because I couldn’t take it anymore. It feels good. It has been three a half years.

I had surgery on these two bones here. I have a plate going in here like this with five little pins, a plate here with five little pins where I can’t move my fingers the way I want to.
It really felt like it was just all locked up right across there. I didn’t try it because there was no incentive really. People that work a regular hand clinic and they can only spend so much time for each patient or so many visits under the healthcare plan. Do you think they could incorporate this into the beginnings of hand therapy so that they could manage it within those visits?

When the collagen fibers get all webbed together really tight, it puts pressure on the blood vessels. Oh, that makes sense. It’s all red now. It looks better.

This is really impressive to me. You know I have movement in my fingers and I didn’t have any of that before. It almost feels funny because I didn’t have that movement for so long!

When I do this, I feel all right in here (pointing to the area above the right wrist). When I was 15 years old, I had a cut through here. I don’t even feel it at all!

It’s constant throbbing through here, and at times it goes up through my arm and into my shoulder, sometimes into my neck. There’s no relief in the splints.
After I did the grip strength test, I didn’t feel weak. And before when I did the grip strength test, I was shaking because it was pulling and hurting. But now I don’t feel that way.

Pulling on my jeans like this. It wasn’t like I had to keep one arm half way bent which I was used to. And it kind of put a smile on my face just to slide in and pull them up with both arms!

I’m getting back to almost normal now. Without this therapy, I don’t know where I’d be. I’d probably be perhaps crippled or, or not able to do much of anything.

I hung wallpaper yesterday and I haven’t done that in a long time. I think it’s great. I think you should train everybody in the USA to do DFR.

I’m having to kind of offset practices to compensate for my inability to use my left shoulder, as much as I can as my right. Therapy, of course, was strengthening using a bungee cord, weights, balls. I’ve done pretty much any method you could possibly imagine and yet it’s still not as strong as my right.
That’s amazing! I feel I can open the joint a lot more. I mean, I’m starting to get tired, but I couldn’t even do one before. I just got off the table and did this the first time and actually there’s no pain! You know you can kind of feel the bands of muscle kind of tightness roll over, but it’s not, it’s actually, it’s actually smooth. It feels pretty good. That’s nuts!
It’s at ease to open up to those extreme positions without having to fight it without extra pain, kind of through the, definitely the biceps tendon. It felt significantly easier than it has been. So thank you.

After going through the first increment of training in Quantico, Virginia, I blew out my shoulder on a pull-up bar. Since then, I’ve gone through multiple therapies, none of which have solved the problem. Before the accident, I could do 20 pull ups with a kip. Now I can’t do even one without extreme physical pain. I can’t pull through the full repetition. Not bad after two treatments. Not as much tightness. Virtually no pain. It’s been six years. In six years. I feel a lot looser. It’s just a lack of strength.

So yesterday I played basketball with my friends, which I haven’t done in a long time. I was afraid to put my arm up, and it never hurt. Throwing a Frisbee doesn’t hurt. Showering. I can put my arm up. It’s awesome. I can reach my back much better. I normally sleep resting my head on my shoulder. I haven’t been doing that for over three months. I’m thrilled. I was scared. I thought there was some major problem that had not healed. I’m used to things healing if I get injured. This summer I have to teach swimming, and I was pretty worried that I wouldn’t be able to move my shoulder. But after just a few sessions, I can move my right arm as well as I can move my left. This is shocking to me. I can’t believe this.

Much better! I can reach into higher places without pain or discomfort. I can sleep on both sides and I have no pain. I can actually run a half marathon. I am very happy I came here.

I hurt my shoulder while I was pitching. I could not throw anymore. The pain never went away. I couldn’t throw at all. I would have pain for the entire day. I can’t believe the range of motion that I have gotten back in my shoulder. And just how loose it feels. I feel like my shoulder is free and moves much more fluidly throughout all its motions and I have much less pain.
