🔴 Rotator Cuff Pathology: How Common Is It? 🔴

🔸 Studies estimate that 30–70% of shoulder pain is linked to rotator cuff dysfunction.
🔹 Cadaver research shows over half (54%) of adults 60+ have a full-thickness tear — with even more experiencing partial tears.
🔸 Rotator cuff injuries can happen at any age, especially in athletes who perform repetitive overhead work (including hanging sports).
🔹 A 2010 study by Yamamoto et al. found that 20% of people walking around today have some type of rotator cuff pathology — 1 in 5!
🔸 And here’s the wild part: many of them had no symptoms at all.

🔵 Why the Cuff Weakens & Eventually Tears 🔵

❇️ Most non-traumatic tears are believed to stem from weakness over time.
↪️ A common theory: the front of the shoulder/chest gets tight, the back of the shoulder lengthens, and the rotator cuff ends up overstretched and under-trained — setting the stage for injury.

A weak tendon is more vulnerable. The goal? Keep it strong, mobile, and capable of handling your daily and athletic demands.

🔥 Rehab Ideas: 🔥
1️⃣ Shoulder CARs on Wall
2️⃣ Wall Thoracic Extension
3️⃣ Foam Roller Angels
4️⃣ ER Walkouts
5️⃣ Horizontal Abduction
6️⃣ Leaning Lateral Raises
7️⃣ Straight-Arm Lat Pulldown
8️⃣ External Rotation Rotation with Punch

💡 Still Stretching Your IT Band? Let’s Rethink That 👀

Outer knee pain slowing down your runs, rides, or workouts? 🏃♀️🚴♂️🏋️♀️ Here’s the truth ⬇️

🧩 The IT band isn’t a muscle — it’s the tendon of your glute max and TFL, and most lateral knee pain (IT Band Syndrome, or ITBS) isn’t caused by a “tight” band.

Research shows the real culprits are weak hip abductors and poor lumbopelvic control.

So instead of endless stretches, focus on strength + control:
✅ Build strong glutes and hip abductors
✅ Train your core for pelvic stability
✅ Manage your training load
✅ Use mobility as support, not the main plan

🔥 Try these ITBS-friendly strength moves:
1️⃣ FR on wall hip airplane
2️⃣ Single-leg deadlift with powerband
3️⃣ Bulgarian split squat + IR/ER rotation
4️⃣ Powerbanded lateral skater hold
5️⃣ Captain Morgan single-leg squat to box
