The rotator cuff is really a group of muscle, ligaments and tendons in your shoulder that essentially hold everything in place and stop your arm popping out of its socket whenever you raise your arm above your head. There are two principal causes of a rotator cuff tear inside the shoulder and they are, one; extreme trauma, like a huge fall or sustaining and injury to your shoulder. The second is due to age, in some cases the rotator cuff just kind of falls apart as a result of regular wear and tear on the body. Sometimes we see this process is sped up by spurring within the shoulder. And you will find so many words to cover what we are talking about, like rotator cuff exercise or shoulder muscles.
