Rotator cuff syndrome

Shoulder pain and loss of strength? Rotator cuff problems can usually be treated in a targeted way and without surgery.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise and move the shoulder. Overuse, wear and tear, or a partial injury can lead to pain and loss of strength. Even with tendon damage, targeted training is usually more successful than surgery.

Pain when lifting and rotating the arm, loss of strength, and often night pain when lying on the shoulder. Overhead movements are difficult.

Repeated overuse, overhead activities, muscular imbalances, and age-related wear and tear of the tendons. Falls can also play a role.

Using a movement analysis, we identify the deficit precisely. With manual therapy, we relieve pain and improve mobility; the core element is targeted evidence-based training to rebuild strength and stability – if needed as part of a structured functional rehabilitation programme.
