Shoulder Pain - don't just ignore it!

There are many possible causes of shoulder pain, and it's one of the most common issues we see in the clinic, from knocks on the field to that nagging ache that's crept in over months.

Unsure when to check it out? Watch for these signs:
✅ Pain lasting more than a few days
✅ Trouble reaching overhead or behind your back
✅ Pain that wakes you at night or difficulty lying on your shoulder
✅ Weakness or catching with movement

The earlier it's assessed, the better the recovery. If your shoulder's been niggling, let's get it sorted!

Why do hamstring strains keep coming back?

If you've strained your hamstring before and then felt it niggle again some time down the track, maybe a few weeks later or during the next season, you're not alone - and it's not bad luck. It often comes down to rehab that hasn't been thorough enough.

Here's what's really going on:
💠Pain settles down long before the muscle has regained full strength, so it may feel healed before it actually is
💠 Returning to sprinting or high-level movements too early puts your hamstring straight back under the exact load that caused the injury
💠 Without proper strength and flexibility work, your hamstring can stay tight and weak, making it vulnerable even months later

The fix isn't just rest - it's a proper rehab progression:
✅ Accurate diagnosis
✅ Restoring full range
✅ Rebuilding strength, power and running capacity
✅ A guided return-to-sport plan tailored to you

No matter what sport or activity you're trying to return to, getting the rehab right can minimise your risk of further re-injury!

Dealing with a hamstring that just keeps niggling? Let's check it out in the clinic.

10 Days. 10 Runs. One Cause. 🏃🏻 ❤️

Privileged to be able to help Dave Piasente keep his body on track. He is now past half way in his challenge to run 10kms a day for 10 days in support of the Baird family.

Dave’s had plenty of company and support on his runs from the champions at the Plympton Football Club who have come together for such a great cause.

Dave came by the clinic today for a tune up with Chloe. 🙌

It’s not too late to support Dave and the Bairds, see the go fund me link in our stories 🙏

Have you ever wondered what Dry Needling does?

Dry Needling targets trigger points in the muscle and may help to release tension, ease pain, and get you moving comfortably. It is another form of manual therapy that we can use to help you in your recovery.

Keen to know more? Ask your physio in your next appointment!
