Rotator Cuff Physiotherapy

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and enabling smooth, controlled arm movements. A rotator cuff injury occurs when these muscles or tendons become strained, torn, or irritated, leading to pain and reduced shoulder function.

Rotator cuff injuries are common among people who perform repetitive overhead movements, athletes involved in throwing sports, manual workers, and older adults where natural wear-and-tear can weaken tendons over time.

What Does a Rotator Cuff Injury Cause?

Rotator cuff injuries can range from mild inflammation (tendinitis) to partial or full-thickness tendon tears. Symptoms may include:

• Pain when lifting or rotating the arm
• Weakness in the shoulder, especially when reaching overhead or behind
• Limited range of motion and stiffness
• Difficulty sleeping on the affected shoulder
• A clicking or popping sensation during shoulder movement

If untreated, a rotator cuff injury can worsen over time, leading to chronic pain, reduced function, and even long-term shoulder instability.

How Can Physiotherapy Help With Rotator Cuff Injuries?

• Manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue massage or joint mobilisation
