Where you feel shoulder pain is rarely where it started.
The shoulder sits last in a chain. The neck refers pain into it. The mid back stiffens and takes rotation away from it. The shoulder blade loses its rhythm across the ribs.
By the time the rotator cuff is complaining, it has been compensating for something else for a while.
Work on the shoulder alone and it eases, then returns. Work on the whole chain and it tends to stay settled.
