Rotator cuff injuries

Known Symptoms

Shoulder pain with weakness during daily overhead activities.
Limited range of motion affecting lifting and rotation of the arm.
Night pain disrupting sleep or preventing comfortable rest.
Difficulty performing routine tasks requiring arm elevation or rotation.

Known Causes

Repetitive overhead movements stressing shoulder tendons over time.
Trauma or falls causing sudden tears or tendon injury.
Age-related degeneration weakening rotator cuff tendons naturally.
Improper posture or overuse increasing strain on shoulder muscles.

Care

Early physiotherapy intervention to restore strength and mobility.
Shoulder strengthening and flexibility exercises to prevent further injury.
Avoid repetitive overhead activities that strain the rotator cuff.
Regular monitoring to detect chronic weakness or functional limitations.
