Quick note before we start:
This is education, not medical advice. I don’t diagnose, treat, or cure injuries. I help active people rebuild shoulder strength, control, and confidence after the medical stuff — so they can train hard again without constant setbacks or limitations.
Does This Sound Familiar?
If you’re like most people I speak to, your story looks something like this:
Your shoulder started giving you trouble:
Tightness,
Training tweaks,
Flare-ups,
Maybe a history of “injury.”
You did the sensible things — rest, stretching and band drills, physical therapy, possibly massage or even injections too.
And sure, You felt a bit better… But then you tried to train properly again (pressing, pulling, overhead work) and the same issues came back.
One of my clients, Ben, put it perfectly:
“I did everything right… the stretches, PT sessions and band drills, but still felt I was one movement away from getting injured.”
I experienced the same in 2014…
Despite my efforts, my world gradually shrank:
- Fewer exercises I could “trust”
- More warm-ups, less training
- Constant negotiation with my shoulder every session
This is the moment people start to think:
“I’ve tried everything. Is this just how it is now?”
And if you’ve wondered that – you’re not alone.
I experienced it.
Kevin experienced it.
And large studies show that 40–50% of people who see their doctor for shoulder issues are still having problems 6–12 months later, with a big chunk still struggle years after it started. ePrints Soton
So if you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels for months or years… you’re not crazy. The standard route often doesn’t get people fully back to where they want to be.
