Get your shoulder tendonitis treated in Bangkok at J-CLINIC
Hello, this is Sato from J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.
Here in Bangkok, a lot of people enjoy golfing – but many golfers suffer from shoulder tendonitis. In this article, I’ll talk about shoulder tendonitis and how you can get it treated.
What is shoulder tendonitis?
Shoulder tendonitis is an inflammation of the rotator cuff. It’s caused when fatigue builds up in your shoulder from repetitive lifting and rotating.
If you don’t treat the inflammation, the rotator cuff muscles will keep rubbing against the humerus (the long arm bone) and wear down from the friction. You can then end up injuring or tearing your shoulder rotator cuff.
Shoulder tendonitis is caused by overuse of the shoulder
You can get shoulder tendonitis if you overuse your shoulder. Overuse can come from repetitive movements where you raise your arm above your head, such as golf swings, weightlifting, tennis serves and volleyball spikes.
Common symptoms of shoulder tendonitis
If you have shoulder tendonitis, you may experience pain in the shoulder when you:
- extend the arm in the finish of a golf swing
- lift your shoulder to take off a shirt
- work on a computer
- fold your arms
