Ep 117: REVISITED: Figuring out frozen shoulder, with Prof Jeremy Lewis

In today’s episode, you’ll hear ideas from Professor Jeremy Lewis about how you might approach assessing a painful and stiff shoulder, and how you might talk with patients to make a decision together about the best way forward.
