Strong shoulders don’t happen by accident.

Rebuilding your shoulders is about throwing random exercises at pain and hoping it settles. It’s about targeting the right areas with rehab.

These are 3 of many options we use to build genuine strength, improve coordination and control, prepare the shoulder for the demands of daily life.

Context matters.
Based on your current symptoms, capacity and goals evens journey will look different.

That’s why there no ‘one perfect exercise’ and when pain is present, a proper assessment is what’s needed!

Shoulder pain that settles…. Then comes back?
It’s not just bad luck..

Most reoccurring shoulder issues aren’t about what caused the pain… it’s about what DIDN’T happen after the pain settled.

Pain relief is the first phase. Rehab shouldn’t end here
If you don’t increase load, strengthen and progressively develop the strength… that’s when the same cycle happens.

Long term recovery is about
- rebuilding the strength around the joint
- progressing load at the right pace
- restoring confidence in movement and loading

If your shoulder pan keeps coming back, you aren’t failing, you rehab just isn’t good enough!

Severe tendon injuries can be life-altering if not managed appropriately.
Recovery isn’t about rushing — it’s about the right loading, at the right time, with a plan that adapts as healing progresses.

This kind of rehab takes patience, consistency, and clear communication at every stage — from early protection through to rebuilding strength, confidence, and return to sport.

Shoulder pain isn’t always a shoulder problem.
And this is where people get stuck.

That ache when you lift your arm? It might be the shoulder…
Or it might be coming from your neck, upper back, rib cage, or even how your nervous system is interpreting load and threat.

Your shoulder doesn’t work in isolation.
It’s part of a chain — spine, ribs, scapula, nervous system, strength, habits.

So if your shoulder pain keeps hanging around despite rest, injections, or endless band work…
It’s probably time to stop treating the symptom and start asking better questions.

Pain has context.
Find the driver, not just the sore spot.

Persistent shoulder pain isn’t something to just “push through.”

If it’s hanging around for weeks, flaring at night, limiting strength or range, or not improving— it needs to be properly assessed.

Not all shoulder pain is the same.
Some cases are load-related and reversible.
Others need us to rule out structural contributors like tendon pathology, joint changes, or irritation that won’t settle without the right plan.

Good physio isn’t guessing.
It’s assessing movement, strength, history and structure — then matching rehab to what’s actually going on.

Pain that persists is information.
Don’t ignore it.

Rotator cuff pain. Let’s clear a few things up.

It isn’t automatically a tear.
It isn’t a ticking time bomb.
And it isn’t something that always needs an injection, scan or surgery.

Most rotator cuff pain is a load management + strength problem, not a structural disaster.

What it usually is:
• Irritated or overloaded shoulder tendons
• Weak or underperforming cuff muscles
• Poor shoulder control
• Training, work or daily loads exceeding capacity

What it isn’t:
• “Your shoulder is worn out”
• “You’ve got bad shoulders”
• A reason to stop using your arm altogether

How we solve it as physios 👇
✔ Identify why the shoulder can’t tolerate load
✔ Restore strength — especially through range
✔ Improve control of the shoulder + upper back
✔ Gradually reload the tendon (not rest it into weakness)
✔ Keep you moving while symptoms settle

Pain doesn’t mean damage.
And scans don’t tell the full story.

If your shoulder pain has been hanging around longer than it should, it’s probably not because you haven’t rested enough.

This year gave us both ends of the spectrum.

Wins that reminded us why we do this
– Patients hitting goals they didn’t think were possible
– Seeing people move, train and live again with confidence
– Being trusted with care, day in and day out

And the harder bits
– Long days, full diaries, complex cases
– Navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t always make things easy
– Holding space for people on tough days, not just their injuries

The highs don’t exist without the lows.

As we step into 2026, we do it grateful — for our patients, our team, and the community that’s trusted us for nearly 20 years.

Here’s to showing up again in 2026.

New look. Same standards.

We’ve refreshed our website — not to be flashy, but to make things clearer, easier, and more useful for the people who matter most: our patients.

What hasn’t changed?
✔ Evidence-based physiotherapy
✔ Honest advice
✔ Experienced clinicians
✔ A focus on long-term results, not quick fixes

The new site reflects who we are now, after 20 years in the community — professional, approachable, and grounded in what actually works.

Launching soon. Keep an eye out.

You might notice some changes over the next few weeks. Don’t worry, we aren’t all turning into AI bots.

There’s been a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make sure we keep brining you the best service we can.

We are passionate about providing top level physiotherapy. Which is why you’ll see some changes.

Some great physiotherapists. Even better service.

Some changes include our website, booking options (both made simpler). The way we structure our diaries and ultimately the service we are offering you.

It’s all very exciting!

After a total knee replacement, the early foundations matter more than people realise.

Here’s what we prioritise in the clinic — and why 👇

1️⃣ Regain knee flexion
Bending your knee isn’t just about comfort. Adequate flexion is essential for stairs, sitting, dressing, and returning to everyday life. Delay this early on and it becomes much harder to restore later.

2️⃣ Re-establish a normal walking pattern — ASAP
Limping isn’t “just part of recovery.”
The longer an altered gait sticks around, the more your body compensates — often leading to hip, back, or opposite knee pain. Early, guided walking sets the tone for long-term movement quality.

3️⃣ Restore optimal muscle activation
After surgery, establishing good muscular activation helps with number 2, and sets the foundations for ongoing strengthening and return to hobbies — especially the quads, calf and glutes. Without retraining them, strength plateaus and progress stalls. Activation comes before power.

✅ Pain relief is important.
✅ Confidence is important.
But function is the goal.

Do the right things early, and your knee will thank you later.
