Not all pain means something is broken. Sometimes it’s your body’s way of signalling that it needs care or balance.

Pain is a complex experience, shaped not only by physical factors but also by stress, sleep, movement, and mindset. Even after tissues heal, your nervous system can remain sensitive, keeping the pain cycle active.

At Arncliffe Physiotherapy Centre, we focus on helping you understand your pain, teaching you how it works, and guiding you to move with confidence again. Through education, gentle exercise, and tailored rehabilitation, we empower you to take control of your recovery.

Shoulder dislocation happens often especially in the sporting population due to direct impact to shoulder joint upon falling. When it happens, there will be significant impact between head of upper arm (humeral head) and glenoid fossa, resulting in compression fracture on the humeral head. This fracture is named Hill-Sach fractures. Decision between surgical and conservative treatments is largely dependent on the extent of bone damages from the injury.

Rotator cuff is a group of muscles that lie deep inside the shoulder joint. They help to keep the humeral head stable in the centre of the glenoid fossa during any shoulder movements. Tightness rotator cuff muscles will alter the normal moving patterns of shoulder joint, resulting in impingement of muscles and bones within the shoulders. This will eventually result in inflammation, pain, reduced range of motion in the shoulder. Proper strengthening and stretch exercises prescribed by physiotherapists help to restore normal shoulder function and reduce pain.

When people talk about calve muscles, they usually refer to the superficial muscles named gastrocnemius (gastroc). In fact, there is another muscles lied underneath the gastroc and its name is soleus. Together with gastroc, soleus works together with gastroc to help lift heel up while walking, running, jumping. Moreover, soleus also help stabilise lower leg and prevent them from swaying forward while you are standing (ie. They help you stand upright without leaning forward).

Regular and moderate intensity exercises are shown to strengthen immune system and associated with few days off with sickness. However, if there is a sudden increase in training loads (which usually happens during pre-season) or a high sustained load (eg. where people train at high intensity for 7 days a week), there appears to be a short “open window” after these two types of loading method when athletes are more susceptible to infection due to reduced immunity. So, train smart, progress exercise with proper planning and allow sufficient recovery are the key to get the most health benefit out of exercises.
