This is a common condition where the tendons and muscles in the shoulder’s rotator cuff become strained from overuse or injury, causing pain and weakness. Over time, the tendon can even start to degenerate, leading to pain and limited movement. The rotator cuff consists of 4 muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor). These muscles are endurance muscles and are essential to one’s everyday functioning.
Frozen shoulder is a significant loss of shoulder movement which causes pain and stiffness, making it difficult to move your shoulder the way you’d like. It can happen for no clear reason, but is more common in people with diabetes, thyroid issues, or other health conditions.
A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction in your joints. When the bursa in the shoulder becomes inflamed, it can lead to bursitis, causing pain and limiting movement.
