Posted by Stuart Hinds on
Rotator cuff tendinitis results from the irritation and inflammation of the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles in the area underlying the acromion. The condition is sometimes known as pitcher’s shoulder though it is a common injury in all sports requiring overhead arm movements, including tennis, volleyball, swimming and weightlifting.

Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common shoulder complaint in orthopaedic clinics (44–65%) and the most frequent cause of shoulder pain in over-arm athletes.
