Rotator cuff injuries and other shoulder pains directly result from physical strains such as playing sports, manual labor or even the simplest but repetitive movements such as brushing or oiling the hair. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, calling for a tremendous range of motion. We have heard stories emphasizing surgeries as the final approach to pain relief. While this can be true in the severest cases, physical therapy has proven to treat shoulder pain.
