Thanks for the replies,

I should have said that he has no pain, just some discomfort at end of available range (if I try to push past this). I cannot reduce the position of the hum head with mobilisations, I therefore feel advice from his surgeon is necessary (possibly with a view to a MUA). Just wondered if being more forceful would help, I recently read an article that stated that an aggressive programme is necessary for stiff shoulders, but I am concerned about damaging his remodelling tissues.

Any comments will be much appreciated.
