Rotator cuff impingement is one of the most common injuries among sportspersons where the connective muscles and tendons in the shoulder suffer inflammation or tears. According to the National Health Service, shoulder impingements are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain.
According to Arthritis Research UK, torn or injured rotator cuffs are most common in people above 40. The condition is also common among sportspersons and professional athletes involved in cricket, tennis, volleyball, powerlifting, gymnastics, and swimming.
Protune Sports Therapy has recognized the need for accurate injury assessment and rehabilitation for this common condition and offers these services at its facilities in Birmingham. The Digbeth sports therapy centre conducts an initial injury assessment that includes the gathering of accurate medical history, posture or gait evaluation, motion & strength testing, followed by diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
Once a course of treatment has commenced, follow-up sessions at the centre involve massage, joint mobilization, rehabilitative exercises, and special therapies including ultrasound, cryotherapy, and heat treatments. Subsequent rehabilitation sessions involve a patient-specific regimen to improve muscle balance, agility, endurance, strength, performance, and to prevent future injuries.
According to a spokesperson for Protune Sports Therapy, “Rotator cuff injuries are often undetected for weeks to years and cause immense discomfort. Left unchecked and untreated, a torn rotator cuff can drastically affect an athlete’s performance. We are happy to help athletes find relief through intensive therapy regiments for long-term shoulder health.”
