Rotator cuff massage .
.
Your rotator cuff is a hard-working muscle group. Consisting of your supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor, the rotator cuff muscles and their tendons surround and stabilize the shoulder joint. They make sure the head of your humerus is in its proper place within the shoulder socket.
Your shoulder joint, being a ball and socket with the ability to circumduct 360 degrees, is the most mobile joint in your body. In addition to its impressive circumduction capabilities, the shoulder joint has a wide range of motion in regards to flexion, extension, internal rotation, and external rotation of the upper extremity. The shoulder joint also allows scapular retraction, protraction, depression and elevation. Its multiple actions and wide range of motion would make it a very exhaustible and unstable joint if the rotator cuff wasn’t there to hold it in place!
With the number of actions the rotator cuff executes, it’s a commonly injured muscular group. The supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor tend to be very tight muscles. Without proper treatment, a simple muscular adhesion can turn into a muscle tear; which can range in severity from a microtear, partial tear, or a full rupture.
