Over the Summer clinical director Andy Barker, was asked to take on a consultancy role at the City Football Group.

Based over at Manchester City’s training ground Andy was tasked with keeping the players fit and healthy during preseason…

To help them prepare for the new football season…

But he is s now back to his normal clinics with us at Perform Ready.

At Perform Ready, we pride ourselves (as a sports injury clinic) that our staff actually work in sport.

Our aim is always to bring you elite level care...

Like you would if your were a pro footballer, even if you are not.

Another of the Perform Ready team also has an exciting announcement, but we need to keep this quiet (at least for now).

We’ll keep you posted!

Have a happy, healthy and active week!

That relaxed Bank Holiday feeling has disappeared pretty quick, right?

The alarm is back on.

The routine is back.

So how do you beat the post-August Bank Holiday blues and get back enjoying your training.

Our advice...

Don’t try to go from 0–100 mph.

It’s tempting to think (and with good intentions)...

Back to normal.

Gym every day.

Eat perfectly.

Get back to running.

Make up for the missed sessions.

No more excuses etc etc.

But after a few days of doing less, jumping straight back into everything can be a recipe for exhausting yourself...

And sometimes worse...

Ending up injured!

Instead, think about getting moving again gradually.

A walk.

A short gym session.

A few mobility exercises.

Getting back into your normal routine.

Nothing complicated.

No records.

Just get going again.

Then after a week or so you can start ramping things up again.

We often see a spike of people coming to see us after a Bank Holiday weekend for all the reasons we mentioned above...

So do your best not to be another one of these people!

Hope this helps!

Jordan came to see us with a highly complex problem…

Having been told previously (many times) that running was something he would never get back to.

Whilst not an easy road by any means, with some ups and downs along the way, credit to Jordan for putting in the work!

Awesome work Jordan 🙌

One painful movement.

You stop training.

Weeks later...

The shoulder pain is still there.

Before long you are avoiding using the arm altogether.

Using your other arm for day-to-day tasks.

Whilst resting for a few days after an injury can be sensible...

Beyond that...

A longer period of avoiding movement usually isn't the best plan.

Shoulders love movement.

They just don't like being overloaded.

A useful way to think about it is this...

Pain isn't always a sign of damage.

Often it's your body's way of saying...

"I'm not coping with this amount of load...(at the moment)."

Instead of avoiding everything...

Aim to keep the shoulder moving, and training it, within comfortable limits.

Research consistently shows that maintaining activity generally leads to better long-term outcomes than complete rest.

A simple rule to help...

If your pain settles back to your normal level within 24 hours...

The exercise was probably appropriate.

If it remains significantly worse the following day...

Reduce the intensity next time.

Progress gradually.

Your shoulder usually rewards consistency rather than intensity.

Hope this helps!

PS. If your shoulder pain has been hanging around...

And you can't seem to get rid of it...

Then get in touch.

It might be worth getting it assessed by our team, so we can tell you exactly what's going on...

And create a treatment and rehab plan for you to get you out of pain and back training 100%.

We often hear this in the clinic...

“I think my posture is causing my shoulder pain.”

You could swap shoulder for any other injury too!

And it’s an understandable assumption.

Maybe you’ve noticed your shoulders are rounded...

Or one shoulder sits slightly higher than the other...

So you start trying to “fix” your posture.

Shoulders back.

Chest out.

Sit up straight.

And that kind of thing.

But here’s the truth...

Poor posture doesn’t equal pain.

There isn’t one perfect posture that your body needs to maintain all day.

And having rounded shoulders doesn’t mean you’ve damaged your shoulder.

In fact, spending hours trying to hold yourself in a “perfect” position can sometimes create more tension and discomfort.

Your shoulder is designed to move.

It doesn’t need to be held in one position all day.

Think about it...

You wouldn’t expect your knee to stay perfectly straight for 8 hours.

So why expect your shoulder blades to stay perfectly positioned all day?

Instead of constantly trying to correct your posture, think about movement.

Change position.

Move your neck.

Move your shoulder.

Reach overhead.

Take regular breaks from your desk.

And gradually build your shoulder’s ability to tolerate the activities you want to do.

Your posture is just one small piece of the puzzle.

Pain is much more complicated than simply having “bad posture”.

So if you’ve been trying to fix your shoulder pain by trying to fix your posture...

It might be time to try a different approach.

And if your shoulder pain is lingering, getting worse, or stopping you doing the things you enjoy, we’d be happy to help.

We’ll assess what’s actually going on, explain it in simple terms and give you a plan to get you moving confidently again.

Just reach out!

10/08/2026

If you’ve got shoulder pain…

One of the biggest questions you might wonder…

Should you improve shoulder mobility...

Or should you improve shoulder stability?

A search of Google, ChatGPT, Claude or wherever else probably won’t give you anything concrete to hang your hat on!

The truth is…

Your shoulders need a bit of both.

To make this make sense...

Imagine a golf ball sitting on a tee.

The ball (your upper arm) is much larger than the tee (your shoulder socket).

That design gives your shoulder incredible movement...

But it also means the surrounding muscles have to work constantly to keep everything centred.

If those muscles become weak or poorly coordinated...

The shoulder often starts to complain.

Equally...

If the shoulder becomes stiff...

Those muscles have to work much harder than they should.

So the goal is never maximum flexibility (unless your in the circus)...

And it isn’t maximum strength (unless of course you are trying to set the new bench press World Record).

It’s finding the right balance.

Typically you want to focus on restoring shoulder mobility before shoulder stability (but that’s a story - or email - for another day).

Hope this helps,

This one surprises a lot of people.

Pain around the shoulder doesn't always come from the shoulder itself.

Sometimes the neck contributes.

Sometimes the upper back becomes stiff and causes a knock on effect at the shoulder.

Sometimes an old wrist or hand injury you did years back can be contributing.

Sometimes poor posture isn't actually the cause (but spending long periods in one position can certainly make symptoms worse).

We're probably not telling you anything new here, but...

Your shoulder doesn't work in isolation.

It relies on your neck...

Upper back...

Shoulder blade...

And your rib cage all working together.

That's why copying the 'best shoulder exercises' from Instagram or wherever, doesn't always work.

You could have pain in exactly the same place in the shoulder as someone else...

Yet need completely different treatment and rehab.

You might benefit from improving shoulder mobility.

Equally your shoulder mobility might be fine...

But you might need some shoulder strength work.

Or a combination of the two!

That's why your assessment matters.

It's why we can't tell you via email or by the phone...

Or why ChatGPT can't tell you how to rehab your shoulder pain...

Until you've had it assessed in person.

Because everyone is different!

If your shoulder pain has been lingering for several weeks...

Keeps returning...

And is stopping you doing the things you enjoy...

Don't just keep hoping it will settle by itself.

Get in touch with us.

We'll assess exactly what's driving your symptoms...

Explain what's going on...

And create a personalised plan to get you out of pain and moving confidently again.

We'd love to help.

Just get in touch.
