Rotator Cuff Physiotherapy
Personalised treatment plan
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?
Rotator Cuff Physiotherapy in Birmingham is a proven, non-surgical approach to help you recover from shoulder injuries, improve strength, and restore full mobility. After a detailed assessment, your physiotherapist will develop a personalised treatment plan, which may include:

Highly recommend.
I had been dealing with persistent shoulder pain that was affecting my daily life and sleep. After trying various treatments with little success, I visited caregate clinics, where Raj recommended shockwave therapy. The results were amazing!

Very happy with treatment.
My arm had no good movement after stroke. Walking was very hard, very slow. Raj helped me lot. He gave very good exercises, was very patient with me. Now my arm is stronger, I can hold things better. My walking is also better, more balance.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!
I had been struggling with severe lower back pain and sciatica, which made even the simplest tasks unbearable—especially sleeping. After seeing Raj my pain levels reduced significantly, and for the first time in weeks, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.

I’m back to doing what I love!
I sprained my ankle playing sports, and at first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back to my usual activities. They provided me with exercises that were perfect for my age and helped me regain strength and mobility.
