Rotator Cuff Tendinitis? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Get a resistance band from any sporting goods store...smaller band with less resistance. Anchor it to something like a door. Increase resistance by stepping further from the anchor point.

Below is a video. I'd start out with the medial and lateral exercises until you gain some strength back in your rotator cuffs. Rep until you feel like your rotator cuff starts to fatigue/burn. get blood flowing in the area. Keep it controlled and slow.

I do these twice a day when I get injured. Within a few days the pain goes away. I kept doing them ever so often and I also get less injuries with a stronger rc.

There should be no extreme sharp pains or popping when you do these..if so adjust your angles or lessen resistance. If you still can't rep with out sharp pains don't try them see a physical therapist.

Maybe a case of frozen shoulder?

If it's like me, it is Bursitis, the Bursais being impacted. The only relief I was able to get was to have a Cortison shot.

my friend has had three shoulder surgeries on his left shoulder, after the last one the ligament that attaches the bicep to the bone came loose and they can't reattach it, so his bicep is knotted up like he is making a muscle all of the time. The shoulders are the worse to get surgery on so do everything you can to avoid that as long as you can.

Interesting.

Daily light stretching of whatever is making my shoulder stiff might be a good place to start and a good way to prep for more vigorous exercise when the time comes. I have a Total Gym in my back yard collecting dust. That might be good for shoulder stretching as well.

I'll try it. Thanks!

Also interesting. Never heard of this before.

This is precisely the location that's bugging me.
