Shoulder Strengthening

I’m sure you’ve seen so many people do those rotator cuff strengthening exercises…or you know people who say “I’ve torn my rotator cuff muscles”! Though, I’m sure some people are honestly being a bit dramatic about things, there is value in having strong rotator cuff muscles!!

The “socket” of the shoulder and the “ball” of the shoulder is very similar in terms of ratio to a golf ball and tee. It’s no wonder people feel like their shoulder can pop out or feel unstable. When it comes to joints in the body, there seems to be a spectrum of structurally stable but less mobile to structurally unstable but more mobile. The glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint), is an example of the latter. It’s wonderful we get to have so many different ways to move it, but, the cost that it comes with is inherent structural instability.

This can be significantly helped by strengthening the muscles around it to create what I like to call “active” stability (in contrast to “passive” stability). One way we can create this active stability is through rotator cuff strengthening.

Yes, there are many reasons why someone can come in with a headache! It could be dehydration, stress, concussion symptoms, anxiety, unknown reasons…this list could go on!

If your headache (or even a part of it) is coming from your neck, physiotherapy can significantly help you feel better! We can help get you moving and give you exercises to help get you stronger!

Come check us out if you need help with this!

So many of my patients want results fast and want to return to “normal” yesterday. Although this sounds nice, it is a common mistake most people make. Halfway through their rehab, they think they are good to go on a 10km walk because their knee isn’t in pain anymore and then they usually get reinjured!

What they should have done instead was progressively loaded their knee through resistance training and a walking program to get them ready to walk for 10km straight! Every person is different and will go at different paces. Come check us out if you need help on your health/wellness journey!
