Quick Video Tip: Rotator Cuff “Home” Treatments

One of the most common health problems people experience is shoulder pain. It’s frequently associated with rotator cuff tendonitis or impingement syndrome and always with a weakness of the rotator cuff tendons.

“Most people with rotator cuff tendonitis and impingement syndrome can be treated with anti-inflammatory medicines, rest and a strengthening program for the rotator cuff,” opines Stephen O’Connell, MD, a fellowship-trained, Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon with Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage, California.

In fact, Dr. O’Connell has six exercises to do at home. And they can be done in about the amount of time it takes to grab a morning cup of coffee!

In Quick Video Tip: Rotator Cuff “Home” Treatments – Dr. O’Connell discusses shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems. And he demonstrates six exercises that he claims are the best way to stay out of the shoulder surgeon’s office! He covers:

  • Shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems
  • Internal rotation exercise
  • External and internal rotations
  • Front, side and rear deltoids
  • Shoulder shrug exercises
