What is it?
A rotator cuff injury involves damage to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilise and move the shoulder joint. These injuries can range from inflammation and strain to partial or complete tears of the rotator cuff tendons. Common symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
Common Causes of Rotator Cuff Injury
​
Repetitive Strain: Overuse of the shoulder from repetitive movements or overhead activities can lead to inflammation or tears.
Acute Injury: Trauma or sudden impacts to the shoulder, such as from a fall, can cause rotator cuff injuries.
Age-Related Degeneration: Wear and tear on the tendons over time can result in degenerative tears, especially in older adults.
Poor Posture: Incorrect posture can place undue stress on the shoulder and rotator cuff muscles.
Heavy Lifting: Lifting heavy objects improperly can strain the rotator cuff tendons.
​Can Osteopathy Help?
Osteopathy can aid in the recovery from rotator cuff injuries by addressing both the immediate symptoms and underlying causes. Osteopathic treatments such as joint mobilisations, soft tissue therapy, and targeted exercises can help relieve pain, restore shoulder function, and improve strength and flexibility. Osteopaths also provide guidance on proper posture and movement techniques to prevent further injury.
