📢Rotator cuff pathology and especially supraspinatus tendinopathy is one of the most common pain syndromes.

📌The supraspinatus tendon is susceptible to developing injuries due to its anatomical disposition since it is located between the humeral head and the acromion.

But what is supraspinatus tendonitis?👇👇

Supraspinatus tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon due to friction caused by repetitive lifting movements of the shoulder, causing impingement between the head of the humerus and the acromial arch.

Symptoms in supraspinatus tendonitis are:
🔹Pain when performing certain movements (especially raising the arm)
🔹Pain located in the anterior and lateral part of the shoulder.
🔹Pain radiating from the side of the arm to the elbow.
🔹The pain increases at night.
🔹Discomfort or pain in the muscles of the neck and cervical spine on the side of the affected shoulder.
🔹Shoulder weakness.
🔹Range of movement decreased.

The diagnosis of supraspinous tendonitis is made based on the response of:
☑️Examination of a posture and the spine.
☑️Mobility exploration tests.
☑️Palpatory examination.
☑️Orthopaedic tests.
☑️Imaging tests.

The objective of physical therapy is:
✔️Reduce pain and inflammation.
✔️Prevent muscle atrophy.
✔️Maintain an active range of motion.
✔️Increase / maintain muscle strength.
✔️Improve neuromuscular control.
