Rotator Cuff Pain Treatment in Gorey
Rotator cuff pain is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint and control movement of the arm.
When these tendons become irritated or overloaded they can cause pain and weakness in the shoulder. At Physio Solutions we regularly assess and treat rotator cuff injuries to help restore normal shoulder movement and strength. See our Shoulder Pain page for a broader overview.
