The
rotator cuff is the name given to the group of small muscles that stabilise the shoulder when it is in motion.
These rotator cuff muscles are vulnerable to injury and - if torn or if their tendons become inflamed can cause significant shoulder problems.
Treatment of rotator cuff injury can involve either medication, hands on treatment from a physiotherapist or sports therapist, injections or sometimes surgery.

Shoulder Injuries are a common problem for those doctors who see athletes or sports men and women.
The shoulder is a very mobile joint and a shoulder injury can be sustained during a fall or during a throwing action or a tackle in football in rugby.
The challenge for the doctor or physical therapist is to figure out which part of the shoulder anatomy has been injured? The underlying problem might lie in the shoulder muscles, the tendons that join the muscles to the bone, the bursa or within the joint itself.
Injury to the shoulder can trigger a tear in the joint capsule or in the labrum - the tissue that deepens the socket that the head of the humerus sits in.

Shoulder tendonitis is the name given to the condition where the tendons of the shoulder muscles become inflamed. The suffix "itis" means inflammation - think of tonsillitis, dermatitis, appendicitis and the likes. A tendon is the gristle that joins muscle flesh onto bone so "tendonitis" is inflammation in a tendon.
Shoulder tendonitis can be treated by physical therapy, by acupuncture, by exercises or stretches or sometimes by injection of a steroid.
Rarely
tendonitis at the shoulder can progress or deteriorate into a rotator cuff tear.

Shoulder Exercises
Shoulder exercises could help you deal better with your shoulder pain problems.
Exercises can help with a variety of shoulder conditions - from rotator cuff tendonitis to frozen shoulder.
If you think you need shoulder exercises for your painful shoulders or your neck and shoulder pain then you have the option of seeking input from a physical therapist or trying to learn the techniques for yourself from a book or a DVD. I would always recommend the former. Trying to learn to do shoulder exercises on your own is very difficult and you are likely to end up doing them wrongly.
