Training the Shoulder: Building Strength Through Rotator Cuff Stability
When most people think of shoulder training, they picture big deltoids and overhead presses. For long-term shoulder health and injury prevention, however, the real stabilisers are the rotator cuff muscles. These four small muscles—supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis—act as dynamic stabilisers. They don’t create large movements like the deltoids, but they keep the humeral […]
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Why Strength and Control Matter in Rehab
Rotator cuff injuries are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain we see in clinic. The rotator cuff plays a vital role in controlling and stabilising the shoulder during movement—so when it’s injured, even simple tasks like reaching overhead or lifting a light object can become uncomfortable or difficult. Whether the issue is […]
Shoulder Instability- Principles of Rehabilitation
Shoulder instability can be one of the trickier conditions to manage in rehabilitation. The shoulder is naturally built for mobility, not stability, which makes regaining control more challenging than with many other joints. Managing shoulder instability isn’t about one single exercise or quick fix. It usually involves a structured plan that progresses through different stages […]
