Your rotator cuff consists of four muscles that hold your shoulder joint in its socket. Tearing your rotator cuff leads to pain and a limited range of motion in your shoulder. It’s possible to partially or fully tear your rotator cuff. A partial tear is less painful than a full tear, but they both need to be treated by an experienced physiotherapist.
You may have a rotator cuff tear if you notice pain in your shoulder and other signs, including:
Sensitivity when you put pressure on your arm, like weight from sleeping on your side
A crunching sound while moving your arm
Muscle swelling and weakness
Increased pain when lifting your arm
Pain that gets worse over time
