Having a shoulder injury can affect the whole upper body workout of a bodybuilder. Shoulders of a human being have a rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint.
How does a person acquire a shoulder injury? The answer lies in the fact that some people are ego lifters and what they do is try to go heavy without learning the proper form of a shoulder exercise.

How do I know if I have a shoulder injury?
When you lift your arm and you feel some pain in your shoulder then there is probably an injury in your shoulder. If you feel a lot of pain without even lifting the shoulder, you should probably go to a physiotherapist. The pain can be due to muscle spasm as well.

How to treat a shoulder injury?
For shoulder injury recovery, you would have to do some rehab exercises. The following are the exercises for recovery of a shoulder injury:
⦁ Lateral rotation.
To do this exercise, you need to have a dumbbell. Follow the instructions mentioned below:
⦁ Hold the dumbbell in one of your hands.
⦁ Bend the elbow of the hand with the dumbbell so that a 90 degree angle is created between the upper arm and forearm.
⦁ Bring the forearm in a position making a 90 degree angle with the torso and keep your upper arm parallel to it.
⦁ Now rotate the forearm externally keeping the upper arm stationary.

You would have to do 2 sets of 20 reps for this exercise using light weights. After this you can do this exercise with internal rotation.
The following picture demonstrates it using a cable(you can use a cable too).
