Marquette, MI – (Great Lakes Radio) – Rotator cuff injuries were the focus of the latest Active Physical Therapy update this week on the Sunny Morning Show.
Kristi Kerkala, Physical Therapist at Active’s Ishpeming location, joined Mike Plourde to talk about some of the types of rotator cuff injuries and how physical therapy can help with recovery.
Kerkala explained that there are usually two types of injuries they encounter in physical therapy.
The first is rotator cuff tendonitis which is an inflammation of tendons in the rotator cuff that usually get worse over time.
The second is a rotator cuff tear which occurs when the inflamed tendons tear after they wear down.
Kerkala also talked about the role of physical therapy in treating and managing these injuries.
