Hi Rachie,

Thanks for all your help. I agree that my mum needs to stick to a rehab pan in order to get the maximum benefit out of it. It is something which she does not quite understand, however I will work on tht one. It is sad that the sports doctor who was well known in my hometown does not have very good interpersonal skills, I hsould have known because when I saw him, he started an argument with me about the need to have a cortisone injection which would apparently fix the aggravation and pain I was getting in my shoulder. I thought that he might of just been having a bad day but it turns out that I was quite wrong about thatone.

Thanks for also sending me the article. I'll have a read of it tonight and then go from there. It's interesting o see that some are really for and others are against the idea of using a neck brace.
