Frozen Shoulder? Remote Medical Management of a Field Guide in Antarctica

We report the case of a female Field Guide based at the British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Science Research Station on Adelaide Island, Antarctica who independently contacted a physiotherapist specialising in climbing related injuries (GJ) located in the U.K. for a second opinion. The Field Guide was experiencing significant work difficulties due to shoulder pain and subsequent loss of function particularly in overhead activities. The case raises important issues about the medical management of Field Guides operating in extreme environments and remote locations.
