Physio Tip of the week
Think your Shoulder is strong? Let’s put it to the test. 👀💪
Your shoulder feels better…but how strong actually is it?
After a rotator cuff injury or shoulder surgery, pain is only one part of the picture.
At Total Body Physio, we use VALD DynaMo strength testing to measure:
✅ How much force your shoulder produces
✅ Strength differences between sides
✅ The balance between internal and external rotation strength
✅ Changes as your rehab progresses
Combined with your symptoms, movement and goals, these results help us tailor your exercises and guide your next steps towards work, gym or sport.
Curious about your shoulder strength? Book an assessment with our team.
