A medical study from the Netherlands:
51% of people with Shoulder Pain

(get treatment immediately!)
British Journal of Sports Medicine

British Journal SM study says… Only ONE Shoulder Treatment
Superior to all others

“Shoulder-Specific Exercise“
World-Exclusive Treatment ONLY Found Here
Dr. Bock, Olympic Doctor, Shoulder Scientist
treating with Shoulder-Specific Exercise since 1983
to ALL of his shoulder patients
~ Olympic athletes and private-clinic patients ~
93% Shoulder Pain Patients Recover in 1-5 Treatments.
(instead of the usual 20-60 treatments)
Here’s a Typical Patient of Ours.
Lots of Pain.
Couldn’t raise his arm.
Couldn’t work for 3 months.
He needed only 1 Pain-FREE Treatment of Shoulder-Specific Exercise…
Just 5 minutes of Treatment, his arm goes straight up
6 weeks later (blue shirt)
full movement NO pain!
1 Treatment.
British Journal of Sports Medicine
also stated what
Doesn’t Work
as the main treatment.
Physical Therapy Machines, drugs, etc.
British Journal SM says…
These common treatments showed
“Little Evidence of Consistent Results”…
and
“Should NOT be relied upon as the Primary Treatment.”
Including:
- Ultrasound
- Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TENS)
- Shockwave Therapy
- LASER
- Interferential Light Therapy
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field
- Microwave
As well as:
- Corticosteroids, Cortisone Injections
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: Ibuprofen, Voltaren (diclofenac), aspirin, etc
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Taping
- Nerve Block
- Acupuncture
- Hyaluronate Injections
- Diacutaneous Fibrolysis
These Failed Shoulder Pain Treatments lead to Ineffective Surgery …
ALL of these treatments fail because… they are only treating the shoulder pain symptoms.
This is why it’s typically 20-60 sessions or more of Physio, with poor results.
It’s not the therapist’s fault. The machines (and other therapies) just don’t work very well!
How does the Pain-FREE Shoulder Clinic achieve a 93% recovery rate?
In just 1-5 treatments?
Answer:
We use ‘Standard Medical Principles’ used for other types of injuries.
Treatment Principle… STOP the ‘Re-Injury’
Whenever you feel pain, that, is Re-Injury damaging the tendons and muscles.
Dr Bock’s treatment Stops the Re’injury, so your shoulder can get well quickly!
Shoulder Pain Treatment: ‘Shoulder-Specific Exercise’ STOPS Re-Injury
Dr. Bock’s treatment stops the continual “re-injury” of your shoulder so your shoulder can heal quickly. Normally within 5 treatments (instead of 20-40-60 treatments of physical therapy).
Shoulders require a specialized treatment to stop re-injury.
You will work with Dr. Bock to correct your shoulder movements and stop the “impingement” or crushing of the tendons, muscles and bursa in your shoulder.
Then your shoulder pain is gone and normal movements return!
What about the other 7% who don’t get better?
4% have a total Shoulder-Complex Syndrome where most or all of the muscles lock down shoulder movement. These shoulders do require more time to improve, usually 10-15 sessions. (This is why you should get treated immediately!)
2% of people don’t follow through with the treatment protocols, so of course they don’t get better.
1% have a terrible injury that requires corrective surgery.
The Pain-FREE Shoulder Clinic offers you a FREE Consultation and Examination.
Find out how quickly your shoulder can improve.
(+351) 282 352 202
Honesty Alert:
If Dr. Bock doesn’t feel he can help you he will tell you and possibly guide you to an appropriate treatment for your shoulder. We work with top-notch shoulder orthopedists for extreme cases.
Shoulder-Specific Exercise treats the Cause of your shoulder pain.
Resulting in quick and lasting Recovery.
Question?
Should I wait to see if my shoulder gets better on its own?
Answer:
Absolutely Not!
Seek care immediately.
We now know – Early treatment gives you the best chance of a quick recovery.
(NO doctor would recommend… ‘Fractured leg. Let’s see if it gets better on its own’ !)
Stop the continual re-injury from making your shoulder worse… Today.
If you wait…
The big medical studies are now telling us…
You run the chance of a long and painful recovery time (months to years).
You risk worsening to ‘frozen shoulder’ (adhesive capsulitis) which can take 1-3 years to maybe get better.
What if I have waited?
That’s ok, everyday Dr. Bock helps people who have struggled for months or years.
Meet… Sr. Francisco
He came to our clinic on Friday, 19 January, 2020.
47 years ago, Sr. Francisco was at the beach with his 6-month old daughter. A large wave surprised them and suddenly his little girl was being swept away. Of course, Sr. Francisco reached to save her. The force of the wave dragging his daughter away injured his right shoulder. During the next two years, his shoulder pain worsened. Previous treatments over the years have not helped.
For the past 45 years, pain stopped him – from raising his arm above shoulder level.
Until he visited the Pain-FREE Shoulder Clinic…
In just a few minutes he was able to raise his arm overhead. Then you will see Dr. Bock show him how to lift his arm to the side for the very first time! (* at the end of his video watch Sr. Francisco’s hands flutter, he’s surprised at what just happened… so easily and quickly.)
This is Sr. Francisco’s First Treatment
Begin Shoulder-Specific Exercise Today
Get your shoulder moving quickly
It costs far less NOW… rather than later
Question?
Are there any risks with Shoulder-Specific Exercise?
Answer:
Virtually… NONE
The ‘exercise’ is Gentle, Slow, Pain-FREE Corrective movements which stops the Re-Injury.
Shoulder-Specific Exercise is ~not~ ‘traditional exercise’ (no lifting weights!)
Risks of other ineffective remedies
The GREATEST risk – they allow the Re-Injury to continue and shoulders worsen.
- Cortisone Injections – significant weakening of tendons leading to tears
- Ultrasound – skin burns
- Electrical Stimulation – skin burns and painful treatment
- Acupuncture – infection, collapsed lung
- ‘Cupping’ – large bruising
- Graston Technique – massive bruising and painful treatment
- Shockwave – painful treatment
- Massage & Trigger Point – painful treatment & worsening a tear
- Active Release Technique – painful tissue tears
- Shoulder Arthroscopic Keyhole Surgery – infection, damage of nerves and blood vessels, poor results, worsening of condition, can lead to Frozen Shoulder. NHS England has stopped this surgery (2019).
- Manipulation with Anesthesia – painful severe tearing of the shoulder joint, fracture of bones, etc.
Also, extremely expensive €8000

Patient Review January 30, 2019
Kathy Reid, FB community review here
Hi,
I wanted to share something with you. I am not a friend or someone paid to write this, you can check my profile, I am a self-employed person who relies very much on being able-bodied.
So here is my story:
About 2 years ago I started suffering with a sore shoulder, I ignored it as you do thinking it would get better but it was only when I could no longer hold my weight on it that I realized I needed to do something.
I am not one for tablet and injections so I looked for other options, I tried…
click to read more Massage, Reiki, Acupuncture and Physiotherapy nothing worked so eventually I went to see a Consultant who sent me for Ultrasound, I had Tendonitis, Bursitis and Tenosynovitis in other words the Rotator cuff was damaged, they recommended a Cortisone injection which I did with much reluctance, that didn’t work even with 3 months physio, back to the consultant and I was told I needed another one, another 3 months physio and that didn’t work! I had run out of options so I went back to the UK and had the shoulder manipulated under General Anaesthetic. Everything I didn’t want to do… I had yet another 3 months physio and this time I saw a bit of improvement but not enough to allow me to do simple things like wash my hair using both hands. I carried on with all the exercises I had been set and started some Yoga movements hoping this will help. Then I spotted an Advert in one of the local papers for someone claiming to be “The Shoulder Doctor” and claiming to get more movement on the first session. so I didn’t quite believe what was written but the first consultation was free and I thought what do I have to lose. Wonderful Carla managed to slot me in and I saw Dr Bock, I kid you not on the first session I went from not being able to touch the top of my head to being able to do this and reaching just behind it… Impossible you say, well I didn’t believe it either, I went home and washed my hair with two hands, not one… is he made me think about the way I was reaching for things and showed me how to reprogramme my brain to move correctly, a simple turn of the hand made a massive difference to me. The cost was the same as a Physiotherapy session (which I had been doing for around a year, with very little difference). I’ve had 5 sessions and I can now almost touch my fingers together behind my back. Side movement is not quite there yet but we are working on it. Not twice a week like physio but once every other week or so and have time to practice. I guess he will see you as often as needed. For me the difference is amazing, I just wish I had seen him two years ago!
Look, I’m from Liverpool…
The simple explanation
All that wasted money!!!

The “Shoulder Revolution Solution” ™ Treatment
Gentle Treatment releases the arm with Pain-FREE Movement.
DID YOU KNOW?
After 12-18 months 18% of people will get the same problem in the opposite shoulder, and it was never injured! Researchers are baffled by this phenomenon.
Dr. Bock has discovered the Source of this mystery: The Cause and Prevention.
The Pain-FREE Treatment stops this problem.
BOTH of your shoulders get the benefits of Treatment.
For 150 years “researchers” haven’t located the reason for the slow healing of shoulder pain. (2)
Fortunately, Dr. Bock discovered the Source of the problem and how to fix your shoulder pain quickly.
He’s been providing the Shoulder Treatment for 35 years. Olympic athletes and regular people get fast results.
Please call for your FREE consultation and orthopaedic exam
Dr. Bock will carefully listen to you, what happened to your shoulder and arm, what it can and can’t do, what you’ve tried so far. If you have any exams please bring them with you.
After your exam, Dr. Bock will honestly tell you if he can help or not. (If not, he may be able to suggest an alternative.)
You can begin your Treatment at your very first appointment.
PLUS… we’ll show you how to do the things you want… without pain!
93%
Improvement of Shoulder Pain during the very first Treatment.
Why traditional measures aren’t working for Shoulder Pain
Traditional aid is based on OLD ideas that haven’t helped (and make you WORSE)… here’s an example:
Wall Walking Exercises
Have you been told to do this exercise (or seen it everywhere on the internet)?
STOP IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT DO THIS “EXERCISE”.
It worsens your shoulder pain. Here’s why.
This exercise pinches the tendons, muscles and bursa.
- Rotator Cuff = Tears and Tendinitis
- Bicep Tendon pain down your arm = Tendinitis
- Bursa cushioning fluid sac gets inflamed = Bursitis
YOU SHOULD NOT DO THIS EXERCISE!
It doesn’t work and it prolongs your shoulder pain problem!
Doesn’t make any sense. Please Don’t Do It.
“I stopped asking patients to do wall exercises DECADES ago.
Now 93% of patients get better at 1st Treatment”
In our Clinic, we’ll show you the proper things to do to quickly improve your shoulder.
Want to get a good night’s sleep without shoulder pain? We’ll show you how!
Our Shoulder-Specific Exercise Treatment
Relieves the squeezing and compression so your shoulder can heal FAST.
(Otherwise, it can take a very, v-e-r-y long time to heal… months or years. Traditional care only looks at the tendons and does virtually nothing to stop the re-injury)
You want to get well quickly. We’ll stop the constant re-injury to The Big Three.
IN ADDITION…
Since the 1940’s until now… the popular belief continues that Frozen Shoulder will eventually resolve itself to full recovery in 1-4 YEARS.
It Doesn’t!
A 2017 study shows that this “belief” is UNTRUE.
“No evidence supported full resolution without treatment. On the contrary… data demonstrated that most improvement occurred early, not late.” Wong CK (3)
Wong is Right.
Frozen Shoulder needs to be treated as soon as possible.
Or you may get scheduled for surgery.
