Shoulder Pain & Rotator Cuff

Calm, progressive rehab for rotator cuff pain, subacromial irritation and stiffness — without overloading early.

Pain-first approach Mobility & control Scapular mechanics Graded loading

Rehab pillars

Settle pain

Activity modification, position changes and manual therapy as indicated.

Restore motion

Capsular & soft-tissue techniques and repeatable mobility drills.

Load smart

Isometrics → isotonic → functional; build capacity while avoiding flare-ups.

Self-care

Short, frequent mobility; avoid sharp pain; sleep support (pillow under the arm).

Red flags

Trauma with deformity, fever/unwell, severe unrelenting night pain or sudden loss of function — seek medical advice.
