Six-pack exercises don't start and end with sit-ups. As any proud owner of six-pack abs will attest, it takes more than just endless crunches, twists and sit-ups to achieve your goal of a cobblestone core. In fact, you may want to abandon crunches all together if you want to get smart on your six-pack. A warning: when it comes to the abs exercises below, you'll want to get comfortable with the feeling of being uncomfortable. Despite nothing hurting as much as the day after you blitz your core in the gym, the results are always worth the aches and pains.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff injury can cause a dull ache in the shoulder, which often worsens with use of the arm away from the body.

Types of shoulder injuries are?
- Dislocation
- Separation
- Fracture
- Cartilage tear
- Rotator cuff tear
- Frozen shoulder

Whether it's rotator cuff tears or other injuries to the muscles surrounding the shoulder, physiotherapy for shoulder pain is often a successful, non-surgical treatment. It aims to strengthen the muscles around your shoulder to improve its function and your mobility.
