cuff injury does not result in tissue damage that requires surgical repair.
Not exact matches
It wasn't until I tore both shoulders over time, and then became a trainer, that I looked back on my career and noticed something I wish I'd known earlier: If you don't STABILIZE the shoulder joint by purposely training the four rotator
cuff muscles when
doing heavy lifts with your big primary muscles (Pectorals, deltoids, Traps, and lats), then you are leaving yourself vulnerable to potential
injury as the years progress on.
Finally, make sure that your shoulder blades are tight because if you try to
do a pull - up with a loose shoulder girdle, you might get yourself a rotator
cuff injury.
It is important to keep in mind though that if you have
injuries or problems with your shoulders, you have to seek advice from your doctor before
doing some of the exercises, especially the rotations that focus on working the rotator
cuffs.
Having strong rotator
cuffs will also help prevent
injuries while
doing presses exercises.
If you have an
injury due to rotator
cuff exercise, the very first thing you need to
do is to stop exercising.
I will say that rotator
cuff strengthening exercises are best
done in order to prevent or decrease the likelihood of developing a rotator
cuff injury.
