Causes of tendonitis in the shoulder
Repetitive stress: Performing repetitive movements using the shoulder, such as lifting weights or sports activities that require repetitive movement.
Aging: The tendon becomes less flexible as you age, making it more susceptible to injury.
Direct injuries: Exposure to a direct injury to the shoulder, such as a fall or a strong impact.
Poor posture: Poor posture while sitting or working for long periods of time can put stress on the tendons.
Symptoms of tendonitis in the shoulder
