Kim Ireland seriously injured her shoulder in a car crash. It took a unique surgery to fix it and a special rehabilitation program to make sure Kim would regain full use of her shoulder.

Kim and her surgeon put their trust in the rehabilitation services team at the New England Musculoskeletal Institute at the UConn Health Center. Within weeks of her surgery, physical therapist Gregg Gomlinski helped Kim get back to doing the everyday activities that had been causing her so much pain.
