I had a shoulder injury from years of playing sports, especially contact sports.

For 10 years, I’ve lived with the pain that would come and go.

Some days, I couldn’t lift my shirt up because of the pain.

I eventually tried physical therapy four years ago.

After eight sessions, I haven’t had pain since.

I can’t even tell which shoulder was in pain.”
