Ask a Therapist: What is the rotator cuff?

What is the rotator cuff?

"It's a group of small muscles around the shoulder joint that control the smaller, fine movements of the arm. These little muscles help with activities like carrying groceries and rotating your arm to put your jacket on. As a group they all pull together to hold the arm bone (humerus) onto the body, much like your hand grabbing a knob style door handle!"
