Really this has nothing to do with dogs, because dogs don't have rotator cuffs. Well...not exactly. But, that's a different blog altogether. Oh, and that's what these two pictures are depicting by the way. A human rotator cuff. Four muscles make up this commonly injured group of shoulder stabilizers. The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis...acronymned as S.I.T.S.
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body...and also the most susceptible to injury as a result. Most often injuries occur during activities that involve repetitive overhead motions such as throwing, forceful pulling, heavy weight lifting, etc. But!! ...you can do yourself a huge favor by learning how to prevent these painful injuries and also improve your performance as a result.
