The way we understand and talk about shoulder pain is changing. Traditional labels like “rotator cuff tear,” “subacromial impingement,” and “bursitis” are being questioned in light of new research showing they often don’t reflect the real cause of pain—or lead to better outcomes. In this blog, we explore why these terms are falling out of favour, the risks of over-relying on imaging, and how more functional, person-centred language is shaping modern shoulder pain management. Whether you're a clinician or someone experiencing shoulder issues, these insights could change the way you view recovery.
