🔥 Shoulder pain? Surgery isn’t always the answer! 🔥

A brand-new study in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (Kuhn et al., 2024) reveals that the decision to undergo surgery for rotator cuff tears has changed over time. Pain levels, function, and patient expectations now play a bigger role than ever before. But here’s the key takeaway:

✅ Up to 75% of people with full-thickness rotator cuff tears recover well with structured physiotherapy—no surgery needed!

At Geelong Performance Physio, we use evidence-based rehab programs to help you:
✔️ Reduce pain and improve movement
✔️ Strengthen your shoulder for lasting function
✔️ Make an informed decision about your treatment options

🚫 Surgery isn’t always necessary—let’s get you moving the right way! 🚫

🔥 Struggling with hip pain? The latest research says REST isn’t the answer! 🔥

A brand-new study in Musculoskeletal Science and Practice (Grimaldi et al., 2025) shows that gluteal tendinopathy requires movement-based treatment, not just anti-inflammatories or injections.

At Geelong Performance Physio, we use evidence-backed rehab programs to help you:
✅ Modify daily activities to reduce strain
✅ Strengthen hip muscles for lasting relief
✅ Improve overall health to support healing

🚫 Outdated treatments don’t work—let’s get you moving the right way! 🚫
