12 years ago today…

I was sitting in this little treatment room waiting for my very first client at my very first clinic.

Fast forward 12 years and I’m so incredibly thankful to all the clients who have trusted me/us and supported the business along the way.

What started in this small room has grown so much, and I’m now lucky enough to have an amazing team of three therapists working alongside me.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey, I truly appreciate every bit of support. 💙

We have a somewhat different approach from the ‘old school’ style of therapy. We are very much hands-on, manipulating soft tissues and joints to get information about how they have responded to injury, as well as to measure their response to treatment.

Our focus is very much about rehabilitation, strength, mobility and stretching tissue if it is too tight, strengthening tissue if it is under-performing, balancing and aligning joints that are not contributing fully to a range of motion, and reducing swelling.

All of these require getting hands-on, and physically, but in a ‘controlled’ manner altering the muscle, joint and neural behaviour.

We are very focused on prevention being key!

Ouch 😢 Pain in the front of your shoulder? 😱

Don’t worry.. we treat so many clients with shoulder pain especially in the front of their shoulders weekly!

So many people get pain in the front of their shoulders due to postures at work as they hold themselves in a rounded shoulder position or by having stiffness in their back causing them to overuse their shoulders.

📍Pain is most commonly caused from overloading of the long head of bicep or from the labrum tears most known as a SLAP tear.

From a physiotherapist point of view, we need to be able to improve the capacity of the bicep tendon, this is done by improving the contribution of the surrounding muscles and the rest of the body!

Specific bicep exercises should be avoided initially as research has shown it is difficult to load the bicep more than 50% of maximum voluntary contraction.

Therefore it’s vital to focus on unloading the bicep and re-motivating the other muscles to start to support the shoulder joint. As well as shoulder activation exercises it is so important to work on thoracic flexibility and rotational movements to unload the shoulder and provide flexibility to the spine.

Also... don’t be disheartened! 🙏🏻
It can take a minimum of 6 weeks to see an improvement with conservative management.
But if you are struggling with shoulder pain.. don’t leave it too long before getting an assessment!

Book in, get an assessment and find out what you can do to be pain-free! 🙌🏻

Sometimes it is hard to admit when we have an injury. 🙈

This can lead to an awful loss of enthusiasm which can lead to the loss of exercising.

It is important to listen to your body, and regardless what plan you are on, an extra rest day or week does not do any harm.

Looking after yourself and listening to what your body is telling you is far more important to trying to push yourself when injury is near and putting yourself out a lot longer! ✅

Does strength training help shoulder pain? 💪🏻

A study by Dalager et al (2023) analysed training adherence and exercise compliance during a workplace-based strength training intervention delivered to office workers over a 12-week period and to analyse the association with clinically relevant pain reductions. A subsample of 269 participants completed a training diary from which measures of training adherence and exercise compliance (training volume, load, and progression) were calculated. The intervention consisted of 5 specific exercises targeting the neck/shoulder area (neck, shoulders, and upper back). Participants reported reduced pain in the neck/shoulder area after 12 weeks of specific strength training, especially women and individuals in pain.

At The Pressure Point we can help direct and advise you on the most effective and efficient exercises to reduce your pain. 🙌
