===================================

One of the main causes of shoulder pain I encounter as a physical therapist is weakness in the rotator cuff (RTC) muscles and their decreased ability to perform their proper function.

WHAT IS THE ROTATOR CUFF AND WHY DOES IT CAUSE PAIN?

Your shoulder is a “ball and socket” joint. The RTC is 4 muscles whose primary job is to act on the shoulder and keep that ball seated squarely in the socket.

When the RTC is weak and not performing its proper function the result can be a “migration” or “looseness” of the shoulder joint which can cause inflammation, tendonitis, tearing, and pain.

WHY IS A STRONG ROTATOR CUFF IMPORTANT?

A strong RTC improves the stability and function of the shoulder joint. Oftentimes it allows the individual to be able to better perform motions and activities with the arms without pain in the shoulder.

HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR ROTATOR CUFF

The exercises I’ve demonstrated in this video are my favorite resistance band/cable exercises to increase strength in your RTC and decrease shoulder pain.

Personally these are my go-to exercises to keep my shoulders strong and healthy and they’re the ones that I recommend to clients and patients all the time.
