WHAT IS THE ROTATOR CUFF?
The “rotator cuff” is 4 small muscles in the shoulder whose primary job is to keep the head of the humerus (arm bone) situated in just the right place on the scapula (shoulder blade). When these muscles are performing their function properly and the humerus is held in this position, the shoulder functions normally and pain-free.

WHAT IS ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS?
Tendonitis is an inflammatory response in a tendon. In the shoulder, this most-often occurs in the “supraspinatus” rotator cuff muscle due to a “pinching” or “impingement” of this tendon in the subacromial space. The result is tendonitis pain and inflammation in the shoulder which can lead to rotator cuff tears.

It’s important to address shoulder tendonitis early so it doesn’t escalate to fraying and tearing in the shoulder.

HOW TO TREAT ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS
The best home treatment for rotator cuff tendonitis includes three steps.
1. Cross-friction massage to promote healing in the tendon
2. Stretching to improve range of motion and decrease shoulder pain
3. Strengthening the rotator cuff to promote healing and restore function

In this video, I’ll show you how to perform all three of these to help alleviate your rotator cuff tendon pain.
