Tamara Colebank was heading home to Hixon from Prince George p.m. Saturday night when she spotted a red glow coming from bush near the train tracks that run alongside the east side of Highway 97 just past the weigh scales at Red Rock.

1 INTRODUCTION Frozen shoulder is a prevalent condition seen in primary care in the UK, 2%–10% of the general population and up to 20% of the diabetic population (Hanchard et al., 2020; Rae et al., 2019; Walker-Bone et al., 2004). Frozen shoulder is characterised by stiffness, pain, and limitation in function. Frozen shoulder is associated with variable prognosis and management strategies (Pandey & Madi, 2021; Rangan et al., 2020; Rex et al., 2021).
