What is Shoulder Tendonitis?

Shoulder Tendonitis describes inflammation in the tendons and muscles that help move your shoulder joint, which leads to pain and restriction of motion at the should joint. Shoulder tendonitis is a frequent cause for shoulder complaints and is the most common condition responsible for shoulder pain in people over the age of 40.
