Shoulder stopping you pressing, serving or swimming?
Rest will settle it down. It won't give you back the range or the strength you need overhead.
- Find out what's restricting the movement rather than working around it
- Rebuild the control that keeps the shoulder where it should be under load
- Get back to overhead work instead of avoiding it

Why people bring their shoulder here
Does this sound like your shoulder?
- You cannot sleep on that side
- It catches when you reach up or behind you
- It is fine most of the day and then one movement finds it
- Your serve, your press or your stroke has quietly got worse
- You have started working around it instead of through it
We finish when you're back to it
Most places stop when the pain settles. That's halfway. The job is done when you're back to the level you were at and the thing that caused it has been dealt with.
Movement-led, one to one
Very little hands-on work. We rebuild the strength and control that went missing, because that's what holds up when you go back to training.

We measure it, we don't guess
Hawkin Dynamics force plates show how much force each leg produces and how fast, left against right. That takes the guesswork out of whether you're ready to load it properly again.

"You can work on technique all you like, but if the shoulder physically won't get into the position, the coaching won't stick. First we get the range back, then we make it strong enough to hold."
