How shoulder strength is measured. Handheld dynamometers and VALD testing measure the strength of the muscles that rotate and lift your arm and compare your two sides. Your physiotherapist retests the same movements over time, so you can see your progress in numbers instead of guessing.
Follow-up sessions rebuild strength on the full Evolve Strength gym floor with real equipment, working towards the pressing, pulling and overhead positions your training or work needs.
Related programs at Forza: post-surgery physiotherapy and sports physiotherapy. Lifters can read about physiotherapy for CrossFit, HYROX and lifting athletes.
