Rotator Cuff Injury
The rotator cuff is a common source of pain, particularly in people over the age of 40. The rotator cuff tendons degenerate over time and hence become more likely to injure as we age. However, younger individuals—especially athletes and those in professions with repetitive overhead activities, like painters or carpenters—are also at risk due to the high demand they place on their shoulder muscles.
At Swords Physiotherapy, we specialise in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of rotator cuff injuries, aiming to restore full shoulder function and relieve pain. Our expert physiotherapists use a range of diagnostic techniques to evaluate the extent of your injury, focusing on the underlying cause—whether it’s a tear, strain, or tendinopathy.
Through a personalised treatment plan, we incorporate therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and modalities to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and strengthen the shoulder’s supporting muscles.
Cases of calcific tendonitis and chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy can be treated sucessfully with a course of ESWT– extracorpeal shochwave therapy.
From initial evaluation through recovery, our goal is to provide effective, evidence-based care that supports a safe and sustainable return to activity. Reclaim your shoulder’s strength and function—let us help you start the journey to recovery.
