"Four months ago, a fall on the ice caused a severe rotator cuff tendon tear in my shoulder...The Center staff specifically developed a program of rehabilitation just for me and with their experience were able to coordinate a plan for the cure of the frozen shoulder and the strengthening necessary to achieve the desired result without surgery. Success was not guaranteed,but in my opinion the personal and caring atmosphere throughout the Center increased the odds of success. I did my prescribed exercises away from the Center so I could heal, but I also wanted to succeed so as to not disappoint all those at the Center who had helped me. I am 76 years old and without surgery am back to playing singles tennis.. "
