At Dr. Waseem Physio Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating rotator cuff injuries. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow a wide range of movements. Injuries to this vital area can cause pain, weakness, and restricted mobility, impacting your daily activities.
Causes of Rotator Cuff Injuries
Rotator cuff injuries can result from:
- Acute Injuries: Sudden trauma, such as falls or lifting heavy objects.
- Overuse: Repeated overhead motions common in sports like tennis, swimming, or occupations like painting.
- Degenerative Changes: Wear and tear over time, often linked to aging or chronic shoulder conditions.
At Dr. Waseem Physio Clinic, we identify the root cause of your injury to ensure the most effective treatment plan.

Common symptoms include:
- Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night or during specific movements.
