Understanding shoulder instability starts with understanding the anatomy.⁠
The glenohumeral joint sacrifices stability for mobility, with only 25–33% of the humeral head covered by the glenoid. Stability therefore depends heavily on the labrum, glenohumeral ligaments, and rotator cuff.⁠
⁠
Following a traumatic shoulder dislocation, associated injuries such as a Bankart lesion or rotator cuff tear are common and can significantly increase the risk of recurrent instability if left unrecognised.⁠
⁠
A thorough assessment should consider both the static and dynamic stabilisers of the shoulder to guide rehabilitation and appropriate referral.

The goal isn’t simply to reduce pain. It’s to help patients move with greater confidence, participate in rehabilitation, and ultimately become independent in managing their symptoms.⁠
⁠
MWM can be particularly useful when it provides meaningful symptom modification, allowing progression into strengthening and functional loading. As always, patient preference and clinical response should guide its use.

It ain’t “Shin splints”🙅‍♀️

Shin splints are a label often given for shin pain, but this is NOT a diagnosis as several conditions can cause pain in this region. So here are some of the common causes:

Front of shin:
🤕Anterior exertional compartment syndrome
🤕Tibial stress fracture

Inside of shin:
🤕Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)
🤕Tibial stress fracture
🤕Deep posterior exertional compartment syndrome
🤕Calf muscle strain (soleus or gastrocnemius)

Other: Nerve or Vascular involvement

It’s important to recognise that these disorders can co-exist. Concurrent injuries were found in 32% of individuals assessed with shin pain, meaning a runner could be dealing with multiple causes of shin pain simultaneously. (Winters 2017)

Nordic curls is a great exercise that will help you not only build up your hamstring strength, but also according the research reduce the risk of a hamstring strain by 50%.

According to a new study by preforming only 8 reps per week you can achieve increases in strength and fascicle length.

We need to keep in mind that the athletes in this study were recreationally active males and therefore the results might be slightly different in professional athletes.

Nevertheless, the take away message is quite clear. By preforming only 8 reps per week, we can reduce the hamstring injury risk.

Keep in mind that more is even better and never forget that maintenance is required in order to maintain your gains. 💪
