Peak is dedicated to finding the body's true stressor points, meaning people can enjoy long lasting improvements in their health, allowing them to get back to doing the things they love in life.
If you’re struggling with shoulder pain, weakness, or reduced mobility, our team can provide effective treatment for rotator cuff injuries. We focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of shoulder dysfunction, rather than simply masking the pain, helping you achieve lasting recovery.
Understanding Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint and enable everyday arm movements like lifting, reaching, and throwing. Because of its constant use, the rotator cuff is vulnerable to injury from overuse, trauma, or age-related wear.
Common conditions include rotator cuff tears, where the tendon is partially or fully damaged, and rotator cuff tendinitis, where inflammation causes pain and restricted movement. Both conditions can significantly affect quality of life if left untreated.
At Peak, we help patients understand the true nature of their injury and create a personalised rotator cuff injury treatment plan that addresses both symptoms and underlying causes.

Types of Rotator Cuff Injuries We Treat
We see and treat a wide range of shoulder conditions, including:
- Rotator Cuff Tear – Partial or complete tendon damage leading to pain, weakness, and limited mobility.
- Rotator Cuff Tendinitis – Inflammation and irritation of the tendon, often linked to repetitive overhead movements.
- General Shoulder Impingement – Pinching of soft tissue within the joint causing pain and stiffness.
Our tailored approach helps restore strength, mobility, and function in the shoulder.

Rotator Cuff Tear Symptoms
A rotator cuff tear can present with several noticeable symptoms, including:
- Shoulder pain, especially when lifting the arm overhead
- Weakness when rotating or lifting the arm
- Limited range of motion
- Clicking or popping sounds in the shoulder joint
- Night pain, particularly when lying on the injured shoulder
Early diagnosis and treatment of these rotator cuff tear symptoms can greatly improve recovery outcomes.
Causes of Rotator Cuff Injuries
There are several factors that may contribute to rotator cuff injuries, such as:
- Repetitive overhead activities (e.g. sports, manual labour)
- Age-related wear and tear
- Sudden trauma, such as a fall or heavy lift
- Poor posture or muscle imbalances
- Chronic inflammation leading to tendon degeneration
How Peak Treats Rotator Cuff Injuries
Unlike treatments that only focus on short-term pain relief, our approach targets the underlying dysfunction to restore long-term shoulder health.
At Peak, we carry out a detailed assessment of your posture, movement patterns, and shoulder function. Based on this, we design a personalised rotator cuff injury treatment plan which may include:
- Manual therapy to reduce pain and restore movement
- Targeted rehabilitation exercises to rebuild strength
- Soft tissue treatment to address inflammation and scar tissue
- Postural and ergonomic advice to prevent recurrence
