Rotator cuff problems are a common occurrence in the general public and can lead to long term disability and/or surgical intervention.There appears to be no consensus of opinion or experimental evidence that definitively determines the most effective conservative intervention for primary compressive disease. The objective is to observe the effect of an eight week graded exercise program on individuals clinically diagnosed with stage II primary compressive disease of the shoulder and who also exhibit a positive MRI find of supraspinatus tendinitis/tendinosis.
