TIM STEVENSON
HEAD COACH + CO-FOUNDER
Tim is an athletic performance consultant, shoulder strength and conditioning specialist and co-founder of Dynamic Shoulders. He’s worked in elite sport since 2008 coaching athletes to European, Commonwealth, World and Paralympic success.
At Dynamic Shoulders, Tim will help you take your upper body training to the next level – reducing pain, instability and overcoming longstanding shoulder issues, whilst delivering performance progression in endurance, strength, speed and power.
Tim has his own story of shoulder issues. As a rugby player and snowboarder, he’s been the recipient of multiple dislocations and two surgeries. This led him on a personal journey of exploring how to develop shoulders he can trust.
He’s passionate about combining his professional and personal experience with existing and emerging tools to recondition and scale upper body performance by respecting the design of the shoulder.
SAM BAINES
SHOULDER PHYSIOTHERAPIST + RECONDITIONING COACH
Sam is a qualified physiotherapist with a Masters in Strength and Conditioning, and perfectly positioned to deliver the highest level of shoulder reconditioning coaching.
​
His focus on shoulders came from both personal experience of poor mobility and recurring nerve issues which worsened during his time competing in strongman and power lifting, and professional curiosity.
​
Sam is passionate about helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts overcome shoulder injuries and regain full functionality so they can return to sport with confidence and strength.
