This lovely patient attended clinic after suffering a shoulder injury from bowling at a cricket match in 2021. He has had pain and clicking in his shoulder since which isn't subsiding.
After some tests I diagnosed him with chronic rotator cuff tendinitis (to the osteos...positive painful arc, weakness in rotator movements and restricted range in rotation).
On examination:
Painful shoulder Clicky shoulder Restricted shoulder blade movement Twisting the spine to get movement Can't touch the back comfortably
After 1 treatment:️ No pain at shoulder️ No clicking at shoulder️ Shoulder blade moving freely️ No twisting at the spine️ Can touch back comfortably
I must share...shoulders don't always recover this quickly as they are muscle dependent joints.
This patient will be coming back for a follow up in a few weeks to see how much of this range of movement he was able to keep and how long he has been pain free...Will keep you posted!
On another note, hands up if you can comfortably touch your hand on your back
