After sifting through tons of websites on rotator cuff pain, this is the first guide that seemed specifically designed to help people suffering from rotator cuff pain. There were a few others that looked promising, but when I examined them closely, they seemed much more geared towards weight lifters wanting to strengthen their shoulders.

While shoulder strengthening is a part of any recovery plan, I felt that those other guides only addressed rotator cuff pain relief and recovery as an after-thought.

But then I found this guide…

It just made a lot more sense to me. While I don’t know if this will work for your specific condition, I think it is worth checking out. Unlike the other guides I found, this was was written specifically from the point-of-view of someone who used to suffer from rotator cuff pain and learned how to successfully treat and recover from his condition.

I liked the straightforward approach. I think you will, at the very least, find it to be a well structured approach to self-treatment and recovery from shoulder pain.

If you are suffering from shoulder and rotator cuff pain, you are probably acutely aware of how much a shoulder injury can affect daily life.

Are you experiencing pain with any of these activities?

• Pain while getting dressed (buttoning shirts, fastening belt buckles, fastening a bra)?
• Pain lifting your arm up over your head?
• Discomfort grabbing for things on a shelf?
• Soreness laying on your side and difficulty falling asleep?

You are definitely not alone. In many cases, you can treat yourself using simple exercises and stretches at home.

Shoulder injuries are extremely common.  The shoulder is one of the more complicated joints in the body.  It is not surprising that so many people injure their shoulder.   The muscles, tendons, and bones of the shoulder work together in an intricate dance throughout the day as we go about our daily life.  When something goes wrong, the whole system is affected.

Rotator cuff injuries are especially common among athletes, particularly those who have to make repeated overhead circular movements.  Swimming, tennis, baseball, football, and other throwing sports all are sports prone to rotator cuff injuries.

Rotator cuff pain is also common in people starting in their 30s and gets worse with age.   Sorry to say it, but people slowly lose strength and flexibility in their shoulders as they get older, making rotator cuff injuries more and more common.

The good news is that, in many circumstances, rotator cuff pain responds quite well to physical therapy.  There are definitely times, such as with severe muscle tears, when surgery may be the only option.  In most cases, doctors will usually recommend a course of physical therapy before more extreme interventions.

By all means, see your doctor.  Only your doctor can determine which course of treatment is best for you.

There are typically four types of injuries associated with rotator cuff pain.

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis/Bursitis/Impingement

An “itis” descibes anything that becomes inflammed (redness, soreness, and swelling).  Rotator cuff tendonitis, therefore, is when the tendons of the shoulder and cuff become irritated and possibly swollen.  Bursitis is a similar condition involving the bursae, fluid filled sacks that act as padding between the muscles and tendons.

Impingement refers to a muscle or tendon becoming pinched between bones or other tendons.  This is a natural progression of tendonitis and bursitis.  The muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff travel through narrow sections of the shoulder.  As you might imagine, if one of these becomes inflammed and thickened, it becomes more vulnerable to pinching or impingement.

Impingement describes a situation where a muscle becomes pinched between bones and/or tendons.

Fortunately, these types of injuries (tendonitis, bursitis, and impingement) respond well to a targeted program of physicial therapy involving stretching, range of motion exercises, and shoulder strengthening.

Tears

Tears are a more severe form of rotator cuff injury.  In this type of injury, the rotator tendons actually tear due to a sudden injury or as a result of gradual degeneration.  The tear can be full or partial.  Obviously these types of rotator cuff injuries can be quite painful.  The bad news is that depending on the extent of the injury, they are unlikely to heal on their own.  Surgery may be required to repair the tendons.

Be sure to see your doctor to find out which type of injury you have.  Your doctor will be able to tell you which treatment is best for you.

As we said earlier, minor rotator cuff pain usually responds well to physical therapy.  The good news is that it is easy to learn how to do this yourself.  Most stretches and exercises can be done at home without any special equipment.

But…

You need to learn how and when to do these exercises properly.  Bad technique, or too much of any particular stretch, can actually make your condition worse.  The best course of action is to learn all you can about self treatment options and develop a plan unique to your situation.
