Who gets Shoulder pain?

Shoulder pain is most common in people who are involved in work that requires repetitive use of the arms in overhead positions. These overhead positions increase the loads applied to the rotator cuff muscles and tendons as well as the bursa of the shoulder. This can lead to irritation and pain in the shoulder.

Shoulder pain is also common in people who train with weights in the gym. Muscle imbalances, such as tightness of the pectoralis minor and weakness of the serratus anterior and lower trapezius, can lead to increased load on the rotator cuff tendons during weight training. This can lead to symptomatic impingement with tendinopathy and bursitis.

Common Shoulder conditions:

  • Fractures
  • Dislocations
  • Tendinopathy
  • Rotator cuff sprains, strains and tears
  • Shoulder bursitis (typically subacromial bursitis or subdeltoid bursitis)
  • Labral injuries (SLAP tears, biceps anchor tear)
  • Cervical radiculopathy (referred pain from the neck)
  • Shoulder instability Acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) injuries and pain
  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Osteoarthritis
