Shoulder Injuries Rotator Cuff (Rehab for Tendonosis of Rotator Cuff)

Rehab for Tendonosis of Rotator Cuff

There aren't many people that have shoulder injuries to their rotator cuff. It's not uncommon for many people to even have rotator cuff tears that occur as a result of either some form of repetitive stress, such as heavy lifting over their head to work, or as a result of a fall or some form of trauma to the shoulder area.

The rotator cuff is actually made up of a group of four muscles and their corresponding tendons that began in the area of the shoulder blade and continue on to cover the shoulder area, both protecting the shoulder and the shoulder socket from injury as well as allowing the shoulder to swing in an outward motion and in an upward motion.

The symptoms of the rotator cuff tear generally occur over time. At first they are easily taken care of with some form of over-the-counter pain medications, but eventually they may get strong enough that a person will seek medical advice. In the case of a fall or a sudden trauma to the shoulder area the pain will be sudden and acute, along with a weakness in the arm and a possible snapping sensation.

Some of the possible shoulder injury rotator cuff treatments include immobilizing the arm with the use of a sling, minimizing the use of the affected area, rehabilitation exercises either at home or by using a professional therapist, and perhaps even surgery. Although it is generally not possible to avoid such things as falls or trauma to the area, it is possible to avoid injury due to repetitive injury such as lifting over the head at work.

If you are already suffering from a rotator cuff shoulder injury that it is best to seek advice, as well as some possible exercises that you can do from a professional.
