Home exercises to relieve shoulder pain, eliminate shoulder impingement, and heal your rotator cuff tendonitis! The key is treating two critical areas that are likely causing your impingement - improving your shoulder posture and strengthening your rotator cuff. This combination has been proven to decrease common rotator cuff tendonitis pain and improve function.

The most-common type of shoulder pain I encounter as a physical therapist is “shoulder impingement” or “rotator cuff tendonitis”.

Most “day-to-day” shoulder pain starts out as this irritation which then progresses to more pain if left untreated.

It’s important that you catch it early and intervene with the right exercises to eliminate pain and improve your shoulder function right away!

WHAT IS ROTATOR CUFF SHOULDER PAIN

The majority of rotator cuff injuries happen to the “supraspinatus” tendon. This is because of its anatomical location and arrangement.

This tendon sits right underneath the AC joint “roof” and right on top of the humeral head. As the shoulder ball moves in the shoulder socket, this tendon can get “pinched” causing irritation, inflammation, and pain.
This is rarely a “one time” incident. This is an overuse injury that occurs with time and repeated faulty motion. It starts as slight pain every now and then and can progress to more intense pain most of the time.

HOW TO TREAT ROTATOR CUFF SHOULDER PAIN

There are two important anatomical structures that contribute to shoulder impingement: the AC joint (or “roof” over the shoulder) and the humeral head (the “ball” of the “ball and socket” joint).

We can alleviate rotator cuff impingement and tendonitis by improving the position of the AC joint with postural corrections and improving the function of the humeral head by strengthening the rotator cuff.
