Can you guess what the 2 most common rotator cuff injuries are? ⤵
1⃣ Impingements
2⃣ Tears
➡Impingement occurs when the soft tissues of the rotator cuff become swollen and inflamed. They can be caused by traumas such as falling or by repetitive use, which can cause inflammation that can lead to impingement.
➡A Tear occurs when a rotator cuff muscle or tendon actually tears. They can be minor or severe, which will be determined by the tissue(s) torn and the depth/thickness of the tear.
