    Just wanted to update this for anyone interested – I had a first session yesterday with a local practitioner, and definitely saw some good results on shoulder rotation. We also found some other very lumpy areas that need work, so I’ll have at least another couple of sessions and then decide if and what to buy.

    But I highly recommend the treatment – it’s great!

    Ha, yes I saw the recent daily vid where a spoon was used on the forearm, and tried that myself. So I think I’ll go for a couple of sessions with a specialist and see – but good to know there are so many options out there, and not all of them costing $4k!

    Hi David,

    Many thanks for such a detailed and helpful reply!
    Very useful advice there – I have contacted a couple of local practitioners, and will speak to them before arranging an appointment with one. Then as you suggest, I can learn how it works, what to do and what to avoid, and get a feel for what tools might suit me.
    And it may even turn out that I simply get my existing issues corrected before being able to look after myself with mwod mobs.
    Thanks again for the info – very much appreciated!

    That’s a brilliant idea, +1 for spiral bound.

    Update – yup, that works! I still need to properly check out what Kaitlin has said, but yes, that mwod could have been scripted just for me – perfect!

    Ah, perfect, thanks SJ! I will check out the mwod now, but the clavicles will be a really usedul way of measuring progress – thank you!

    Hi Kaitlin,

    Thank you very much for the comments!
    I saw a chiropractor yesterday who found a huge amount of tightness in my traps and neck, and even just working those with a ball has massively improved my shoulder mobility. But I will definitely check out the HawkGrips and your other suggestions (to be honest, I am going to have to google a lot of what you say as it is all new to me).
    Thank you so much for taking the time to take a look and make recommendations – I really appreciate your help!

    Just a small addition to this, in case it is related. I also have some hip trouble on the right side, caused by too many years as a desk jockey. It’s nothing unusual, just tight flexors and weak glutes, causing the right femur to rotate outwards, and general poor mobility in the hip region.

    I’m working on other drills to sort that out, but I guess it could potentially be related to the shoulder issue, so thought I would add it here for completeness.
