Rotator Cuff Integrity

Rotator cuff integrity refers to the health and proper functioning of the group of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and enabling arm movements. Maintaining healthy rotator cuff tendons is essential for lifting, reaching, and rotating the arm smoothly. When these tendons are damaged, inflamed, or worn down due to injury or overuse, shoulder strength and mobility can decrease, leading to pain and weakness. Ensuring rotator cuff integrity involves proper care, exercises, and addressing injuries promptly to keep the shoulder stable and functional.
