Kyphosis <\/a>is a condition that can be exacerbated by damage to the rotator cuffs, but it might also make the damage more likely in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKyphosis is a curvature at the spine at the top (the thoracic and cervical regions). This is caused by shortness and tightness affecting the pectoral muscles and anterior deltoids, along with weakness and lack of muscle tone in the rotator cuffs and other pulling muscles in the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is often caused by working a desk job, which causes the arms to be pulled forward typing. It can be exacerbated through weight training that involves working on the \u2018mirror muscles\u2019 such as the pecs, at the expense of less \u2018glamorous\u2019 muscles at the rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
