The common causes of the condition include the following:

• Repetitive overhead movement at the workplace or during sports activities
• You can injure your rotator cuff if you slip and fall or bang it against a hard and edgy surface. People often use their arms to break their fall which results in this injury
• Lifting something heavy without the proper posture can also lead to rotator cuff injury.
