Let us fix your shoulder pain by showing you the difference between power and stability.

Watch this as we break down what’s really happening at the shoulder when you press. It’s not just about pushing weight overhead, it’s about how well you control internal and external rotation through the movement.

Most people rely too heavily on the big muscles like the deltoid and pec. But without stability at the glenohumeral joint, that power has no control. That’s where pain starts to creep in.

In this video, we use an inverted kettlebell to challenge shoulder stability, improve joint control, and build a stronger foundation for pressing.

When you improve stability first, power becomes more efficient, cleaner, and pain free.

Watch on, understand it properly, and change the way your shoulder moves.

At Evolve, we’re musculoskeletal experts. We understand the small but critical nuances of lifting that most people miss, and that’s exactly why we’re so effective at getting you out of pain and back to performing at your best ☺️✌🏻

Trigger points around the shoulder can be incredibly powerful to treat when you know what you’re looking for. A trigger point is a hyperirritable spot within a tight band of muscle that can produce local pain and sometimes refer pain into other areas.

In this example we’re working through the infraspinatus and teres minor, two muscles that commonly contribute to posterior shoulder pain and referral into the arm.

At first these trigger points can feel difficult to find. But once you understand the bony landmarks of the scapula and use them to orientate yourself, the anatomy starts to make a lot more sense.

With practice you’ll be able to locate them confidently and treat them effectively.

At Evolve we focus on understanding anatomy properly, because when you understand the structure, treating the problem becomes much easier 👌🏼

A good physiotherapist knows that the real skill lies in exercise progressions and regressions. This is how we tailor exercises to help a patient improve, rather than just copy and paste the same program for everyone.

In this video we’re using the four point kneel shoulder tap, which is actually quite an advanced exercise for shoulder stability and core control. It challenges the shoulder to stabilise the body while the opposite arm moves, forcing the rotator cuff, scapular stabilisers and trunk muscles to work together.

What makes it interesting is how small adjustments completely change the challenge. By shifting the body weight forward or back, changing how much load the shoulders are taking, or narrowing and widening the base of support, the exact same exercise can become significantly easier or much harder.

That’s how we meet patients exactly where they are in their rehab and gradually build them up. And when the time is right, we progress them toward the full version of the movement where strength, stability and control all come together.

That’s the difference between just giving exercises and actually programming rehabilitation. At Evolve Physiotherapy Centre this is what we do every day helping people move better and get back to what they love. 💪

Understanding the pec major is the key to understanding why pressing movements can irritate the shoulder.

The pec major is one of the most powerful muscles in the upper body. It originates from the sternum and clavicle and inserts onto the groove of the humerus. When it contracts it produces massive force through horizontal adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder. That is what allows people to press heavy weight, but that same force also drives the humeral head forward and into internal rotation, narrowing the subacromial space and irritating structures like the supraspinatus tendon and subacromial bursa.

This is why pressing movements can become problematic for the shoulder.

The solution is not simply to stop pressing but to restore balance around the joint. By strengthening the muscles that oppose the pec major, improving scapular control, and building strength in the external rotators and posterior shoulder, the joint can better resist this force and move more freely.

At Evolve Physiotherapy, we understand musculoskeletal injuries and the biomechanics behind them. That is why we are so effective at helping people rehab injuries and get back to training pain free. 💪

EVOLVE IS MOVING! After years of building Evolve Physiotherapy we are moving into a brand new clinic.

This space has been years in the making and being built from the ground up. Every detail of this clinic has been meticulously thought through. Every piece of equipment has been carefully chosen and purpose built from our experience treating thousands of patients and guiding them through rehabilitation.

A space where patients have access to everything they need to recover properly and return to the life they love.

Our new clinic will feature:

✅ A fully equipped rehabilitation gym designed for real injury recovery
✅ A dedicated neuro rehabilitation space with a ceiling hoist
✅ A large upstairs Pilates studio
✅ An ice bath and recovery area
✅ A large auditorium to host future masterclasses and educational events
✅ More treatment rooms to help more people in our community

This clinic represents years of learning, treating, refining, hard work and understanding what patients truly need during their recovery.

We are incredibly proud to bring this space to our community and to continue helping people move better recover stronger and live without pain.

Welcome to the next chapter of Evolve Physiotherapy Centre 🫶🏻

We’re proud to officially announce that Evolve Physiotherapy will be hosting Victoria University student placements.

This is a genuine honour and a responsibility we take seriously. We are here to mentor them and challenge their thinking, to refine their assessment skills and expose them to real clinical reasoning in a busy private clinic.

For us it’s about showing students what musculoskeletal physiotherapy actually looks like in the real world. How to assess properly. How to communicate with confidence. How to truly understand movement, load and adaptation on a deeper level.

The musculoskeletal system is incredible, and we’re excited to open our doors and share that passion with the students coming through ☺️

Thank you to Victoria University for trusting us with this opportunity!
