Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Physiotherapy for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

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.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve shoulder strength and flexibility. We use hands-on techniques like soft tissue mobilizations and stretching to reduce discomfort, alongside muscle-specific exercises to build strength. Research shows that physiotherapy can be as effective as other treatments like steroid injections for improving shoulder function. Let us at Barraco Physiotherapy & Wellness be your first step in tackling your rotator cuff pain and dysfunction.
