Explanation

I would highly recommend Claire Fitzgerald for shoulder injuries. I had a partial tear in one of my shoulder muscles. Claire explained things very clearly, so I understood what was causing the pain and the restricted movement in my arm. Importantly even though Claire is a consultant surgeon, she was open to alternatives to surgery given my case was not too severe. After a couple of months including physio, my shoulder and arm were pretty much back to normal and continue to be fine.
