I had surgery to reattach two ligaments in my right shoulder. I will be arriving in Boquete @December 5, 6 weeks post op. and will need to work with a local therapist in coordination with my surgeon and therapist in the U. S. I will be in Boquete for three months. I would appreciate recommendations for a well qualified, English speaking therapist.

I dislocated my shoulder. The physical therapy at Dr. Chen is $35. I go to Dr. I go to the clinic in David across the stretto on the opposite side of the hospital from the emergency room. Dr Barrio is an orthopedic surgeon and knows his stuff. I pay $13 with jubilado discount. Otherwise it's $15. It's a drive but well worth it to have professional care.
I had a shoulder problem a few months ago as a result of aggravating an old rotator cuff problem. I went to Dr. Chen who gave me a general cortisone injection and referred me to the Social Security clinic here in town, probably because I am a Pensionado. He sent me to a physical therapist by the name of Rene, who sounds like the same person John and Elizabeth recommended at the Haven. I saw him twice a week for three weeks and the issue cleared up.
I would recommend you ask your therapist to write up your injury and your surgery along with your treatment plan and bring it with you. You will then have the info you need to give to Rene. He really knows his subject and is a great person to work with.

Rene Estribi at The Haven Spa. Incredible therapist. Cannot recommend him too highly.
I found him more interested in tennis, than my injury.
Thanks for the info....I will keep that in mind.
