Rotator Cuff Related Pain

Understanding Rotator Cuff Related Pain

Rotator cuff pain, also known as shoulder impingement, rotator cuff tendinitis, or shoulder bursitis, involves discomfort in the shoulder due to inflammation, tears, or overuse of the rotator cuff muscles and tendons. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow for a wide range of movements. This condition is common in people who perform repetitive shoulder activities, such as athletes and manual laborers.

How Physiotherapy Helps

Physiotherapy is essential for managing and treating rotator cuff pain, focusing on reducing pain, improving function, and preventing recurrence. Here’s how physiotherapy can assist:

  • Targeted Exercises: Our physiotherapists will design a personalized exercise program that includes strengthening and stretching exercises for the rotator cuff muscles and the muscles around the shoulder. These exercises help to improve shoulder stability and flexibility.
  • Pain Relief: We focus on using manual therapy to manage pain and reduce inflammation. These techniques help to improve muscle tension and joint mobility, alleviating discomfort and promoting healing. Through skilled hands-on techniques, we aim to restore proper function and enhance overall movement quality.
  • Activity Modification: Our physiotherapists will provide guidance on modifying your activities to reduce strain on the shoulder while maintaining overall fitness. This might include altering your training routine or introducing low-impact exercises.
  • Functional Training: Exercises that mimic daily activities and sports-specific movements help to restore shoulder function and prevent future injuries. Functional training is crucial for preparing you to return to your normal activities safely.
