When you perform any gripping motion your rotator cuff muscles are always involved. Since my client’s work involved a high frequency of gripping with little to no help from his rotator cuff muscles. This weakness came to the surface a lot sooner. His forearm and finger flexor muscles were overloaded and resulted in a weak grip strength. Once we addressed the weakness in his rotator cuff muscles we were able to regain his grip strength. #gripstrength #rotatorcuff #rotatorcuffrehab #rotatorcuffexercise #rotatorcuffstrength #rotatorcuffexercises #rotatorcuff
