Shoulder Pain Exercises
If you are suffering from shoulder pain, then I sympathise. At the end of last year I managed to tear my rotator cuff. If you know what the rotator cuff is either you are in the medical profession or you have already damaged yoru own rotator cuff. Around one third of us will suffer a shoulder injury at some time in our lives and the vast majority are rotator cuff problems.
Like most of us,I did not think about how my shoulders worked until I damaged one of them. Now I know so much, I could write a book on the subject.
Shoulder pain can be debilitating. It is only when you damage one of them that you understand just how much you rely on your shoulders. After all, your arms hang from them and you use your arms all the time without thinking and virtually every arm movement is relayed to your shoulder to some extent.
So it comes as no surprise that shoulder pain can cause so many problems. There are several causes of shoulder pain. Here are a few.
Like me, it could be a torn rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that all help to hold the head of the upper arm into the shoulder. Tear one of them and you have constant shoulder pain whenever you try lifting your arm above shoulder height.
Bursitis of the shoulder can be equally painful. The bursa is a sac of fluid that helps to protect the shoulder joint as it moves. It can become inflamed in which case you will experience pain with virtually every movement.
