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
