Yes I had shoulder inflammation from tennis, doctors wanted to stick a needle in my shoulder regularly. Did some research and nope it doesn't work. I tried some weights and so on to get it fixed, it had some benefit but still there, so just thought I'd have to live with it. Some years later I took up some reformer pilates and it's gone! after only a few months exercise - it is truly a miracle. I recommend it to everyone who has aches and pains it's magic.

I also had tennis elbow some years ago, the doctor had no advice, Tai Chi helped me with that, same principle I suppose - gentle exercises for the small muscles. Though the results from Pilates have worked everywhere.
