Rotator Cuff injury and the purple way of rehab
The rotator cuff muscles are a group of muscles that surround and stabilise the shoulder joint. They help to keep the shoulder in its socket.
A rotator cuff injury is when there is inflammation or a tear in the muscles or tendons. These injuries occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead movements, such as painters or tennis players.
Symptoms include:
- Dull ache deep within the shoulder
- Difficultly/pain on overhead movements (brushing hair etc)
- weakness
Rotator cuff injuries can be helped by physical therapy and exercises that help improve flexibility and strength.
Some exercises/stretches include:
- doorway stretch
- side-lying external rotation
- high-to-low rows
- reverse fly’s

Shoulder pain is a common problem and is often caused by poor posture and/or poor muscle
recruitment. The pain is often aggravated by bad habits and the stresses of everyday life that
affect posture. This poor positioning promotes fatigue, stiffness and pain in the shoulders, but
also in the neck and upper back. However, a good placement of the shoulders and upper back
can largely eliminate or prevent these symptoms...
Postural issues can originate from an alteration of the shape of our feet, which ultimately have to support and maintain the rest of our body weight and balance in motion.
