Shoulder pain is common, but often it’s not just about strength. Stability is the key.

Your shoulder relies on small, supportive muscles (the rotator cuff and scapular stabilisers) to keep everything moving smoothly. When these get tired or weak, pain and clicking can creep in.

Physio-guided exercises help restore balance and build long-term shoulder health.

If you’re getting back into exercise this spring:
🌿 Ease in — increase intensity slowly
🏃 Warm up before and cool down
🧍‍♀️ Mix strength work with cardio

A few smart steps now can save you weeks of rehab later.
