This is what an Evolve Masterclass actually looks like. Hands on from start to finish, real techniques, real clinical reasoning, and real feedback in the moment. No theory for the sake of it and no watching from the sidelines.

You are right next to me as we treat. Mobilising the shoulder, neck and thoracic spine, finding trigger points, refining hand placement, pressure and intent. I am there the whole time giving on the spot feedback so you understand not just what to do, but why you are doing it.

Everything we cover is directly transferable to private practice. These are the exact presentations you will see with your own patients and the exact decision making that separates average treatment from high level care.

This is advanced rehabilitation, hands on skill development and clinical confidence built in real time. This is the Evolve Masterclass experience ☺️

Keep an eye out for our knee masterclass dates to be announced very soon… 👀

Did you know Shockwave Therapy can get you back to playing faster?

A high-quality 2023 systematic review looked at athletes with persistent tendon pain and found something powerful.
When Shockwave Therapy was combined with eccentric exercise, athletes returned to sport significantly quicker and reported dramatic reductions in pain compared to exercise alone.

This is one of the evidence-based treatment options we offer here at Evolve Physiotherapy Centre to help you recover the right way and get back to doing what you love.

Did you know your glutes can be a major driver of your lower back pain?

Your gluteal muscles do not just sit around your hips.
They physically cross key levels of your lumbar spine including L5 S1, L4 L5 and L3 L4.

This is why these muscles are such an important target for physios whether it is rehabbing or acute treatment of lower back pain.

When you have an injury at those levels whether it is a facet irritation, a disc issue or general lumbar overload your glutes often go into protective spasm. When this happens your movement becomes restricted, your back tightens up and even simple bending feels harder.

This is why glute stretching and later glute strengthening is such an important tool. Relax the glutes, reduce the guarding, regain mobility, move better faster.

At Evolve Physiotherapy Center we are experts in musculoskeletal pain and we can help you recover faster

Most chronic headaches come from a mix of tight muscles and reduced blood flow around the head, neck and upper back.

When these tissues become tense, circulation drops and pressure builds, creating that familiar headache heaviness.

Hijama cupping helps by increasing local micro-circulation and encouraging natural vasodilation. Better blood flow, less muscular tension and improved tissue oxygenation can all contribute to easing chronic headache symptoms.

This is one of the evidence-informed techniques we combine with physiotherapy to help people find longer-term relief from persistent head and neck tension.

This is one particular service that we provide at Evolve Physiotherapy Centre. Contact us to book in a hijama cupping session today ☺️

To understand why the rotator cuff is important let us talk about what it actually does. It provides dynamic stability. Let me explain 👇🏻

Your shoulder moves through three planes of movement. It is the only joint with this level of freedom and that freedom creates natural instability. The rotator cuff controls that movement and keeps the head of your shoulder centred in the socket during every task you do.

Dynamic stability means the cuff is working every time you reach lift rotate push and pull. It keeps the joint steady. It maintains control when the larger muscles produce power. It protects the shoulder from drifting or falling out of its ideal position.

When the rotator cuff is weak the shoulder becomes unstable. Pain starts. Strength drops. Overhead work feels difficult and the cycle repeats.

If you want strong stable and pain free shoulders you need a trained rotator cuff. If your shoulder has been giving you trouble our team at Evolve can assess your movement, explain what is happening and guide you back to safe strength ☺️✌🏻

A high quality randomized controlled trial has shown something impressive about shockwave therapy!

Shockwave achieved a 73% greater reduction in pain compared to the control group. Seventy three percent! That is a strong clinical result.

This is why shockwave is becoming a leading option for stubborn tendon pain chronic shoulder pain and injuries that stop responding to standard rehab. 🔥

If you have stubborn shoulder pain or ongoing shoulder pain contact our evolving experts in musculoskeletal pain at Evolve Physiotherapy Centre.

Returning to running after a muscle strain? Here’s a simple, safe guide to get you moving again.

In this video, Semih gives you a clear structure you can use today.

Start with a 1 minute run, 1 minute walk, repeated 10 times.
Run at a pace where you can hold a conversation, this keeps your load controlled and your risk low.

If that’s pain-free, the next day add one extra minute to your running interval.

As you continue progressing pain-free, you can begin to reduce the rest and increase the running:

• 2 minutes running, 1 minute walking
• Then 3 minutes running, 1 minute walking
• Gradually build until you can complete a smooth, continuous run

This step-by-step approach helps your muscle tolerate load again without flaring up or reinjuring yourself ☺️✌🏻

Plantar fasciitis is no joke. It affects 1 in 10 people at some point in their lives and can be incredibly debilitating. Every step feels stiff, sharp, or like you’re walking on glass first thing in the morning.

The good news? We have strong evidence-based treatment options, and shockwave therapy is one of the most effective.

Research shows:
• 70 to 80 percent of patients report significant pain reduction within just a few sessions
• Shockwave helps stimulate healing in the plantar fascia, reduces chronic inflammation, and improves loading tolerance
• It’s especially effective for persistent or long-standing plantar fasciitis that hasn’t responded to other treatments

At Evolve Physiotherapy, we use shockwave therapy every day to help people get back on their feet. Plantar fasciitis isn’t something you have to put up with.

Book your consult today and let’s get you walking pain-free again ☺️

Ever wondered why shockwave gives that instant pain relief?

It works through a process called neuromodulation. When we apply shockwave to a tendon it activates sensory nerves and changes how pain signals are transmitted to the brain.

This temporary change in pain transmission is similar to the pain gating mechanism where repeated stimulation helps block pain messages at the spinal cord level.

Clinically what this means is that patients often experience short term pain relief after treatment which allows us to begin loading the tendon earlier with exercise.

This early loading helps restore strength coordination and tolerance which over time builds long term resilience and recovery.

That’s how we use shockwave therapy at Evolve Physiotherapy Centre to help you move better and recover stronger.

Should you feel it in the joint or in the muscle? 🤔

What should we actually feel when we exercise? For example, when you’re doing knee exercises, if you’re feeling it in your quads, glutes or hips, that’s a good sign your muscles are doing their job ✅

But if you’re getting a deep, sharp or aching pain inside the knee joint, that’s not normal. If it keeps coming back or gets worse, it’s worth getting it checked by a physio ❌

Did you know your hips could be the real reason behind your knee pain? 👀

If your glutes aren’t strong enough, your knees often take the load ❌

Try this quick test, stand on one leg. If the hip on the other side drops, that’s a sign your glutes might be weak 🦵

At Evolve, we’re musculoskeletal experts dedicated to helping you move better and live without pain 💪

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Water flows in, support flows out💧

Clinical studies have shown that water-base pillows help reduce neck pain, improve sleep quality, and maintain consistent support through every turn of the night. They don’t collapse, they don’t harden and adapt.

The new water pillow takes that proven concept and elevates it through advanced material engineering and pressure-responsive chamber design. Precision construction means no leaks and no mess. Just clean, adjustable hydro-support that moves as you do.

Adjust your fill, set your firmness, and experience how innovation meets comfort, clinically backed and physiotherapist-approved.
