Expert Shoulder Pain Relief – Personalized, Home-Based Physiotherapy

What is Supraspinatus Tendinitis?

Supraspinatus tendinitis is the inflammation or degeneration of the supraspinatus tendon, part of the rotator cuff group in the shoulder. It plays a critical role in lifting the arm and stabilizing the shoulder joint.

When overused or compressed (often under the acromion), it can become irritated, causing pain, weakness, and limited movement — especially during overhead or lifting tasks.

Causes of Supraspinatus Tendinitis

Common causes include:

🏋️‍♂️ Repetitive overhead activity (gym, sports, painting, lifting)
💻 Poor posture (forward head, rounded shoulders)
🧱 Manual labor or physically demanding jobs
👴 Age-related tendon degeneration
💥 Shoulder impingement or trauma
🧍 Muscle imbalance and poor scapular stability

Symptoms of Supraspinatus Tendinitis

⚡ Pain on the top and side of the shoulder
⛔ Pain when lifting or reaching overhead
💤 Night pain, especially when lying on the affected side
📉 Weakness in arm elevation
🔁 Clicking or catching during movement
❌ Restricted shoulder motion
