Shoulder Tendinitis
Shoulder tendinitis is a common ailment that can disrupt daily activities and limit mobility. However, by delving into its root causes and adopting proactive measures, you can alleviate discomfort and regain full range of motion.
Know the Causes
Repetitive Movements
Performing repetitive motions with the arms and shoulders, such as lifting heavy objects or participating in sports activities, can lead to inflammation and irritation of the tendons.
Poor Posture
Slouching or hunching forward can put strain on the shoulder tendons, leading to overuse injuries and tendinitis.
Muscle Imbalances
Weakness or tightness in certain muscle groups surrounding the shoulder joint can alter biomechanics and contribute to tendinitis.
Age-related Changes
As we age, tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury, increasing the risk of developing shoulder tendinitis.
Trauma
Direct trauma to the shoulder, such as a fall or impact injury, can damage the tendons and lead to inflammation and pain.
How to Prevent?
Maintain Proper Form
When engaging in physical activities or lifting objects, ensure proper technique and form to minimize strain on the shoulder tendons.
Incorporate Rest and Recovery
Allow adequate time for rest and recovery between activities to prevent overuse and reduce the risk of developing tendinitis.
Warm-Up and Stretch
Before engaging in strenuous activities, perform dynamic warm-up exercises and stretches to prepare the shoulder muscles and tendons for movement.
Strengthen Muscles
Incorporate strength training exercises targeting the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint to improve stability and reduce the risk of injury.
Avoid Overuse
Pace yourself during physical activities and avoid overloading the shoulder joint with excessive repetitions or weight.
Modify Activities
If certain activities exacerbate shoulder pain, modify or avoid them altogether until symptoms improve.
Seek Professional Guidance
Consult a healthcare professional or physical therapist for guidance on proper exercise techniques, injury prevention strategies, and treatment options for shoulder tendinitis.
