A member asked:
Any important things i should do with rotator cuff tendonitis other than ice and rest? its my 2nd week and its much better.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevention: Think about what caused the problem in the first place and try to avoid or alter the activity that led to the problem. Rotator cuff strengthening and scapular stablizer exercises can be helpful. Rotator cuff issues in your age are often due to overaggressive weight-lifting or excessive overhead activity.
