Shoulder — Rotator Cuff
My Cuff
The rotator cuff is a set of four muscle tendons that connect your upper arm bone to your chest, letting you move and rotate your arm.
What can go wrong
A tear occurs when one or more tendons separate from the humerus. Partial tears leave some connection intact; complete tears involve full separation. These injuries typically cause significant pain and movement difficulty, and result from overhead motion, heavy lifting, or trauma — affecting people across all activity levels, not just athletes.
Prevention
- Daily light shoulder exercises
- Maintain good posture
- Avoid side sleeping on the affected shoulder
- Limit overhead movements
- Stretch before workouts
- Hot/cold compress therapy when sore
- Give your shoulders regular rest
Most affected individuals are over 60 years old. The rotator cuff can be difficult to heal — always talk with your doctor first.
