Pain during running can feel worrying, and many runners assume it means they need to stop completely.

But in many cases, symptoms appear when training load increases faster than the body can adapt.

This might be from increasing mileage, intensity, frequency, or returning to running after time off.

Instead of stopping entirely, it’s often possible to modify training while gradually rebuilding strength and tolerance to load.

That might mean adjusting distance, spacing out runs, or incorporating strength work to support the demands of running.

The goal isn’t just getting rid of pain.

It’s helping your body handle running comfortably for the long term.

Dowel rod external rotation is a simple way to work on shoulder mobility and control through range.
Exercises like this can help improve tolerance to overhead movements in the gym, swimming, surfing or everyday activities.

Focus on slow, controlled movement rather than pushing aggressively into range.

23/03/2026

Surfing places unique demands on the body.

Long paddle sessions, repeated shoulder movement and constant balance all require strength, endurance and control.

When these areas aren’t well supported, surfers often start to notice shoulder irritation, neck tightness or lower back discomfort.

Building strength through the shoulders, upper back and rotational core can make a big difference.
A small amount of preparation outside the water can help your body tolerate longer sessions and recover better between surfs.

Treatment is only part of the picture.

Understanding your body, moving well and building resilience over time is what helps people stay active for the long run.

That’s the focus at Swell.

Pain can be confusing.

A lot of people assume pain means something is seriously wrong, or that they should stop moving altogether.

But with many common issues we see in clinic, especially with running, gym training or everyday activity, pain is often linked to how much load the body is handling.

Sometimes the body just needs time, better progression, and the right type of strength to adapt.
That’s why rehab isn’t usually about stopping everything.

It’s about understanding what’s going on, making small adjustments, and gradually building capacity again.

Movement, when guided properly, is often part of the solution.

17/03/2026

A treadmill can be a really useful tool in physiotherapy.

It allows us to observe how you move in real time, looking at things like stride, cadence and how your body handles load while running.

From there we can make small adjustments, guide strength work and help you build the capacity to keep running comfortably.

Because rehab isn’t just about reducing pain.
It’s about helping you move well for the long term.

13/03/2026

Rest can help calm symptoms.

But complete rest for too long often reduces strength, tolerance and confidence.

When you return to running, gym or surfing, your body may be less prepared than before - and pain can reappear.

Rehab isn’t about switching movement off.

It’s about adjusting the load and gradually rebuilding capacity.

Not sure whether to rest or reload? We can help you find the balance.

11/03/2026

Surfing demands endurance, rotation and control.

Shoulder pain often shows up when capacity doesn’t match time in the water.

Rehab isn’t about stopping surfing forever.
It’s about making sure your body can handle it.

09/03/2026

When shoulders get sore during gym work or paddling, most people assume they need to stretch more or stop completely.

But often, the issue isn’t tightness.

It’s capacity.

Your shoulder might be getting asked to handle more load, volume or repetition than it’s currently prepared for.

Stretching can feel good in the short term.
But it doesn’t build the strength and control your shoulder needs to tolerate load.

Exercises like a controlled floor press work well because:

• The floor limits excessive range
• It improves stability
• It encourages controlled movement
• It builds strength without pushing into aggravating positions

The goal isn’t avoiding movement.

It’s gradually building the ability to handle it.

If shoulder pain has been lingering, it might not need more stretching.

It might need smarter loading.

06/03/2026

Strength isn’t just about lifting heavier.

It’s about building a body that can handle what you ask of it.

When pain shows up, the answer isn’t always less movement.
Sometimes it’s better movement, better load, better progression.

Rehab isn’t about avoiding effort.
It’s about rebuilding confidence in it.

Move well. Stay active. Long term.

04/03/2026

Pain doesn’t automatically mean stop.

More often, it means your body needs a different amount of load, not zero load.

At Swell, we focus on helping you build capacity so you can get back to the things that matter, whether that’s surfing, running or chasing kids around the beach.

Consistency beats quick fixes every time.

03/03/2026

Pain can feel frustrating, especially when it interrupts something you enjoy.

But most of the time, especially with running, surfing, gym training or weekend sport, pain isn’t a sign you need to stop everything.

It’s often a sign that your current load and your current capacity don’t quite match.

That doesn’t mean you’re fragile.
It means we need to adjust the dial.

At Swell, we focus on helping you understand what’s going on, make smart short-term adjustments, and then progressively build strength and tolerance so you can return to what you enjoy with confidence.

Rehab isn’t about quick fixes.

It’s about steady progress and long-term resilience.

If something’s been lingering, it might not need rest.
It might just need the right plan.
