Common causes
- Rotator cuff sports loading (swimming, tennis, volleyball)
- Repetitive overhead motions at work
- Tendinopathy or calcification, frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis
Symptoms
- Pain during motion or when lying down
- Progressive loss of mobility
- Night pain
- Perceived weakness with certain movements
Diagnosis
Our approach
The first step is always a medical consultation. Complementing this: clinical tests of the cuff and stability by the physiotherapist. Ultrasound, highly effective on the shoulder, is used first-line with Dr Massimo Donalisio when needed; MRI is reserved for more complex cases (labral tear, instability).
Care at Off-Field
- Physiotherapy
- Physical preparation (rotator cuff strengthening, progressive mobility work)
- In coordination with Dr Massimo Donalisio when indicated: shockwaves (tendinopathy, calcification — first-line), PRP if shockwaves are insufficient, ultrasound-guided injections
