Perform Ready Physiotherapy

Perform Ready Physiotherapy We help active people get out of pain & back to full fitness without the fear of symptoms returning

Perform Ready is a physiotherapy clinic on the outskirts of Leeds City Centre.

Both therapists have extensive private practice and elite sport experience allowing us to cater for all injury types, and all clientele, from elite athletes to the less active individuals.

We take bookings from both self paying clients and accept all the major insurance companies.

Some shoulder exercises that should help...

Often do the opposite...

And flare up your shoulder!

It is not hard to get it wrong...

As you were just following the advice you saw on that YouTube video...

Or doing those exercises that have helped so many people with shoulder pain according to that physio on Instagram…

Or that you found on Instagram, or somewhere else, right?

One of the main culprits is those banded ‘cuff’ exercises.

Once you watch this video you will understand exactly why these sort of exercises do not work...

And learn a quick and effective exercise that does work...

One that actually trains your shoulder, and the muscles that protect the shoulder, in the way they are actually designed to work!

If you didn’t see Perform Ready physio Andy in clinic last week…

It’s because he was in Spain with England football! ⚽️

Andy has worked as a consultant physiotherapist at the Football Association since 2018, combining this role with his Perform Ready clinics.

We are proud, as a sports injury clinic, to have physios that have this sort of experience…

As we try to help as many people in Leeds & Manchester get over their injuries…

And get back doing the hobbies, activities and sports they enjoy the most!

This exact week 10 years ago in 2016, we welcomed our first patient through the door...

Having officially set up the company the week before!

At that time both myself and Ben were working together as the physio team at the Leeds Rhinos.

We did that for another couple of years before Ben left to take the lead at Huddersfield Giants...

Before moving into Olympic sports!

I did another season...

Before moving into football!

Ben’s move to Manchester saw us open our Manchester branch...

And since we have both set up sister injection clinics, Leeds Joint Injections and Cheshire Joint Injections...

Having both trained in injection therapy and ultrasound.

Away from the clinic we’ve both completed Masters degrees (in biomechanics and strength and conditioning)...

Ben has been to two Olympic Games, in Tokyo and Paris...

And I have been part of a football and a Rugby Union World Cup!

The 5 kids (all boys) we have between us might be the main cause of a few grey hairs...

And tired looks now and again...

But we are as passionate about Perform Ready today...

As we were when we first started!

To celebrate we wanted to give you a present...

After all, it is you, our patients, that have made Perform Ready a success!

To celebrate 10 years in the business...

We have...

10 Discounted Sports Massage Sessions For Just £35.

That’s £10 off (usual price £45).

Want one?

Just send us a DM us the word ‘10YEARS’ and we’ll get you booked in!

Alternatively, contact us using the details below.

Have a great week!

If you train regularly in the gym, or play sport, you’ve probably been told you need to keep your shoulders mobile.

But here’s the truth most active people miss…

Most gym-related shoulder pain isn’t from being too stiff…

It’s from the lack of stability at the range you already have.

If you bench press or shoulder press…

Do cleans or snatches…

Do lat-pull-downs or pull-ups…

Your shoulders already move a lot.

Common signs you don’t need more mobility include…

- You can get your arms overhead

- You can reach behind your back

- You can bench or press full range

- You feel “loose” but still get pain

In these cases, adding more stretching often just creates…

- More joint irritation

- Less control under load

- A feeling of instability or clicking

Stability is what keeps your lifts safe (and stops you from breaking).

Shoulder stability isn’t about making the joint stiff…

It’s about owning your range under load.

Most gym training programs overload the big prime movers (chest, delts, lats) but underload slow, controlled shoulder work, end-range strength and specific shoulder coordination work.

The result?

You’re strong around the shoulder, but not always strong through it.

Mobility still matters, just not how you might think.

Mobility isn’t useless.

It just has to be earned and controlled.

So what should you focus on?

Maintain mobility, but don’t chase extremes.

Build stability through full range.

Do your mobility work before the stability work.

Prep (and train) the shoulder in positions you actually lift in.

This doesn’t mean you have to revamp your whole upper body gym sessions.

Just a couple of drills as part of your warm up can be all you need.

Keep an eye on our socials this week as we’l be posting a few drills you can use in your own warm ups!

Hope this helps,

The Perform Ready Team

But we will make sure you go back into feeling ready and confident!!!

The colder weather can really make your pain worse!

Your not imagining it!!!

There are some real reasons why the cold can affect how your body feels.

Cold temperatures can cause muscles, tendons, and ligaments to tighten and become less flexible.

Blood vessels also narrow in colder weather, which can reduce circulation to joints and other tissues.

For some people, changes in air pressure may also irritate sensitive joints...

Particularly if there’s a history of injury, arthritis, or ongoing inflammation (this is why some people’s injuries get worse when travel on a plane).

Whilst we can’t change the weather...

And stopping short of emigrating to warmer climates...

There are a few simple strategies you might find useful during the rest of Winter...

🚶 Keep Moving

Regular movement helps keep joints lubricated and muscles warm.

This doesn’t have to be a big workout.

Short walks, mobility exercises, or light stretching can still make a big difference.

🏃‍♀️ Warm Up Properly

You might need to take a few extra minutes to warm up before your gym session or run, especially first thing in the morning.

Adding a few minutes CV, like on a rowing machine or assualt bike, might also help.

👕 Dress for The Weather

Stopping short of sounding like I am talking to one of my kids...

Put the right clothes on!

Wearing the right clothing will keep you, and your joints warm.

🔥 Heat Therapy

Heat packs, warm showers, or a hot bath can help relax tight muscles and ease joint stiffness.

Easy to do, but effective.

If pain, stiffness, or old injuries are stopping you from doing the things you enjoy, a check-in with us might help us identify what’s going on...

And what you can do about it (especially during the colder months).

Stay ‘warm’ and take care,

Not all success stories will be as dramatic as this…

But helping you get back doing the things you enjoy the most is what we do…

Even if you have been told by other people there is nothing more can be done…

Or in this case, that surgery is the only option!

Got a problem you can’t shift and not sure what to do next?

Give us a shout!

So ‘Blue Monday’ was actually last week.

Widely regarded as the most miserable day you will have in 2026!

I actually had quite a good day last Monday, and I hope you did too!

In some respects however, it does makes sense.

At this time of year, the weather is pretty average (unless you love the cold and rain).

It’s dark when you wake you...

And it goes dark early in the evening.

Your finances might be low...

Having taken a hit at Christmas...

And for most, a 6-week gap between pay makes this even worse.

It is also the longest wait in the year until the next Bank Holiday.

So on the face of it, maybe it’s no surprise you feel a little ‘blue.’

For us, we do see an element of this, at this time of year.

For us, it’s usually people coming to see us at the back end of this month (and in Feb) that started the year with good intentions.

To train more frequently...

To eat better.

To get stronger.

To start that training block for your first marathon.

But then those injuries and niggles start to get in the way.

They cause you to miss a session...

Then one session this week, turns into two sessions next week...

And before you know it, your back where you started...

Trying to train around a problem...

Rather than making progress.

If that sounds like you, don’t turn ‘blue.’

Reach out and we can help you out.

Have a great week!

Andy & The Perform Ready Team

PS. For those interested, ‘Blue Monday’ was actually founded (and funded) by a holiday company.

The cynics amongst us (this includes me) might suggest this might of been a way to try play on people’s unhappiness...

And in turn book a holiday to cheer them up.

If you look at the data, it seems to have worked...

Given late January is one of the busiest times in the year, year after year, for holiday bookings!

Make of that what you will!

One session and Cameron was back working pain-free!

Most injuries will take more and one session to fix…

But like Cameron, the earlier you seek help when you do get injured, typically makes it an easier, and quicker, return to pain-free activity.

Got a problem, new or old, that you can’t seem to shift?

We hope that your 2026 has started well...

And that it has been a happy, healthy and active start to the year!
