This week, join Ethan and Zoe as they dive deep into the crucial role of the rotator cuff in shoulder stability and movement. In this episode, your hosts break down the four key muscles that make up the rotator cuff, their specific functions, and how they work together to support and protect the shoulder joint.
From tendinopathy and tears to impingement, we explore the most common rotator cuff injuries, their causes, and the latest approaches to treatment—both surgical and non-surgical. Plus, we highlight the often-overlooked role of the thoracic spine and neck in recovery, emphasising why a whole-body approach is key to effective rehabilitation.
Whether you're dealing with a shoulder injury, helping others recover, or just curious about how the shoulder functions, this episode offers valuable insights into building strength, restoring mobility, and reducing risk of future issues. Tune in to learn how to keep your shoulders moving well, moving more and moving for life!
