This week’s Friday Case Study 📆 is a patient we saw earlier in the week. His shoulder pain was starting to get him down and more recently had stopped him playing is beloved padel! 🎾 After a thorough case history and examination we found he had a rotator cuff impingement. We treated him looking not just at the shoulder but also the elbow, wrist and upper back. Interestingly, if the upper back is not moving well this can put more load into the shoulder causing it to work overtime! 🤓 We also gave him some rotator cuff strengthening exercises and advised ice and a little more time off padel and we’ll review next week with some more treatment and progression of his exercises. 💪
