11Tendon Stretches
In mild to moderate cases of rotator cuff tendonitis, light stretches can help promote circulation, alleviate muscle tension, as well as increase range of motion and flexibility. This is especially helpful for acute cases when inflammation and pain are not serious. Keep in mind to use steady and slow movements when stretching. Try to hold each position for 20 to 30 seconds. Do these exercises several times during the day, particularly before and after strenuous activities. For chronic tendonitis, you should apply moist heat to your inflamed tendons before starting to help them warm up and become more flexible. [11]
