Pilates instructor was in such pain she couldn’t lift her right arm. A SLAP tear, rotator cuff injury and partially separated shoulder left her in agony most of the time. “If I moved it, it was sharp pain,” says patient, 58. As a result, she was unable to work. The former dancer tried more traditional forms of treatment, including cortisone shots and physical therapy, but nothing provided long-term relief. “I could never get beyond a certain point,” she says. After undergoing four to five PRP treatments with Dr. Magaziner, patient says, “I’m 100%” better and “I have my full range” of shoulder movement back. Patient says she is particularly impressed with her improvement, since people “don’t usually get 100% mobility back from SLAP tears, especially at my age.”
