"Active rehabilitation exercise programs - including motor control and resistance training with varying loads - are the gold standard first-line treatment to reduce pain and disability in adults with rotator cuff tendinopathy"

New research from the 2025 Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy guidelines confirms that active rehabilitation is the gold standard first-line treatment for rotator cuff related shoulder pain.

Why does this matter? Because prioritising active rehabilitation over passive treatments helps you get stronger, regain control and move better, faster!

If you're dealing with rotator cuff pain, starting with a tailored exercise program isn't just an option - it's the best evidence-backed research approach available.
