Rotator Cuff

Rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder are common and can result from overuse, trauma, or age-related degeneration. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise and support the shoulder joint, allowing for smooth and coordinated movement. When these structures are damaged or inflamed, it can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder.
