Done all the usual google stuff but all they seem to do is knees. Any info helpfull to help a distressed mind

I noticed New Victoria Hospital do hands, shoulders, legs but not arms! Odd.

I'm a knee surgeon working in Yorkshire, so this is not on my radar, but the following lists should help you a little.
Remember most surgeons have both NHS and private practice, so you find the details for a man in one sector and you can be sure he works at the other sector, just "up the road" as we call it

This from Prof Len Funk in Manchester is a 5* article/resource: http://www.shoulderdoc.co.uk/article.asp?section=9...

This lot look quite good too: http://www.londonorthopaedic.com/shoulder-and-elbo... and http://www.londonorthopaedic.com/who-we-are/brian-...
but it's a judgement from another professional (me) not a pleased patient or structured review of his clinical practice

Best of luck.

Tell me he spends his summers in Ibiza mixing house music.

Thanks for the replies, The web links have given me a few phone calls to make on Tuesday.

Not Gym related, just simply closing an extended dining table that was a bit stiff. Hey Ho.

I'm not going to Ibiza this year, so i'll never know the skills of the Funk!

Thanks again
