Rotator Cuff: Why You Might Not Need Surgery and the Fascinating Way It Was Designed to Work | Feeling Good Feels Good Ep. 22

The rotator cuff is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body and you don't have to be an athlete to hurt it. Four small muscles quietly handle some of the most complex movements your body performs every single day. Reaching for a coffee mug. Putting on a jacket. Washing your hair. All rotator cuff. Most people only think about these muscles when something goes wrong. But the rotator cuff is far more remarkable than most people realize. It is a high tech system that played a key role in humans evolving into what we are today. In many ways we have to thank our rotator cuffs for modern society more than we ever realize. And like most high tech systems, that sophistication makes it incredibly useful and also vulnerable to breaking down. Understanding how it works, how it gets injured, and how to rehab it is more vital to everyday life than most people appreciate. In this episode we cover the anatomy and origins of these four muscles, the evolutionary story behind your shoulder, and the most common injuries including tears, tendonitis, and impingement. We break down how to recognize them and how to tell them apart from other shoulder problems. Then we get into recovery. Most rotator cuff injuries do not require surgery. We cover what non-surgical rehabilitation actually looks like including physical therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture, and what the full progression from early recovery to complete function feels like. Whether you are dealing with shoulder pain right now, recovering from an injury, or just want to keep your shoulders healthy for life — this episode is for you.
