Many people assume that being “balanced” means being perfectly symmetrical. But the research shows that isn’t how human bodies are built — or how they perform.

A large 2022 review highlighted that asymmetry is normal, functional, and expected. Even elite athletes show 5–15% differences between limbs without any reduction in performance.

Importantly, current evidence shows that asymmetry does not automatically increase injury risk. In fact, it’s often the injury that creates the asymmetry, especially after issues like ACL tears.

So rather than chasing perfect 50/50 symmetry, you’ll get better results by focusing on:
• Strength
• Tissue capacity
• Load tolerance
• Confident, varied movement

These are the qualities that help keep you active, resilient, and doing the things you love

Here’s something we can say with confidence:

Shoulders aren’t as complicated as they often are made out to be.

It’s easy to get caught up in believeing that every millimeter of movement needs to be analysed, every muscle needs to be perfectly positioned to be switched on…. But in real life, with real people and REAL recovery?

Shoulders respond best to simple consistent loading.
No fear or micromanagement.

They are adaptable, resilient and designed to move.

Book online or get in touch.
Online or inperson appointments.
Let’s get you moving comfortably again.

Your body handles more than you think with every stride. Train it well.

Running is load management. String tissues, fewer issues.

These winter months are built for building resilience.
