Rotator Cuff Tendonitis Treatment

Rotator cuff tendonitis is a common shoulder condition caused by inflamed or irritated tendons. This inflammation leads to pain, weakness, and limited mobility in the shoulder. Repetitive movements, overuse, or age-related degeneration often cause it. If left untreated, it can worsen over time, leading to chronic discomfort and functional impairment.

Causes of Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

Several factors can contribute to the development of rotator cuff tendonitis, including:

  • Repetitive Overuse: Frequent overhead movements, such as in sports (tennis, swimming) or work-related tasks (painting, carpentry).
  • Aging and Wear & Tear: As we age, tendons lose elasticity and become more susceptible to inflammation and injury.
  • Poor Posture: Incorrect posture can strain the shoulder muscles, leading to tendon irritation.
  • Muscle Imbalance: Weak or tight muscles around the shoulder joint can increase stress on the rotator cuff.
  • Inadequate Warm-up or Conditioning: Insufficient preparation before physical activity can strain the shoulder tendons.

Symptoms of Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from rotator cuff tendonitis:

  • Persistent shoulder pain, especially when lifting or reaching overhead
  • Weakness in the arm or difficulty performing everyday activities
  • A dull aching pain that worsens at night, mainly when lying on the affected shoulder
  • Limited range of motion, making it difficult to raise or rotate the arm
  • A clicking or cracking sensation when moving the shoulder

Manual therapy helps relieve muscle tightness and adhesions in the shoulder region, reducing strain on the rotator cuff and promoting relaxation.

We provide customised rehabilitation plans focusing on:

• Shoulder stabilisation exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff
