The Shoulder Workshop is one hour long and is one of their series of live events where they will help you understand and deal with your pain in specific areas of your body.
Their trained staff will ask for patients to sign up during the workshop so they can offer a free MSK Ultrasound consultation so they can look ‘inside your body’ and “see” your pain! MSK Ultrasound is a non-invasive, natural state-of-the-art tool that their highly trained team can offer you, unlike any other clinic in the area.
