Despite that, a large number of repetitions, the ballistic nature of the lifts and the high forces sustained by the shoulder joint during their execution can lead to shoulder inju-ries, specifically rotator cuff injuries. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the scientifically proven physiotherapy methods and what their indications are when deal-ing with rotator cuff injuries of Olympic weightlifters.A qualitative literature review method was used, and the following online databases were included: PubMed, Scopus, Wiley, and PEDro in ResearchGate. The keywords in the literature search were: rotator cuff, shoulder, injury, physiotherapy, sport, weight-lifting and Olympic weightlifting. The final analysis included fully published and ac-cessible research papers in English from 2012 onwards, focusing on the physiotherapy of rotator cuff injuries.In total, 16 research papers were included in the final review. Management of rota-tor cuff injuries is a complex process, especially in sports with overhead movements. We found that the success and effectiveness of the physiotherapy process can be im-proved through a proper combination of kinesiotherapy, physical agent modalities, manual methods and other forms of therapy. The choice of the specific methods and their duration depends on the pathology of the individual injury. Further research focusing on Olympic weightlifting is needed to create precise and conclusive guidelines for rehabilitation, especially for sport specific phases occurring later in the rehabilitation processOlimpijsko dviganje uteži je z vidika pogostnosti poškodb relativno varen šport. Kljub temu veliko število ponovitev, balistična narava športa in visoka sila na ramenski sklep lahko povzročijo poškodbe ramena, še posebej rotatorne manšete. Namen tega dela je s pregledom literature raziskati, katere fizioterapevtske metode so dokazano učinkovite in kakšne so njihove indikacije za obravnavo posameznih tipov poškodb rotatorne manšete pri olimpijskih dvigalcih uteži.V kvalitativni pregled literature so bile vključene te podatkovne baze: PubMed, Scopus, Wiley, PEDro in ResearchGate. Ključne besede pri iskanju literature so bile: »Rotator cuff«, »Shoulder«, »Injury«, »Physiotherapy«, »Sport«, »Weigltlifting« in »Olympic Weightlifting«. V končno raziskavo smo vključili v celoti objavljene in do-stopne raziskave v angleškem jeziku, ki so bile objavljene od leta 2012 in neposredno raziskujejo fizioterapevtsko rehabilitacijo poškodb rotatorne manšete.V končno analizo je bilo vključenih 16 raziskav. Obravnava poškodb rotatorne man-šete je kompleksen proces, še posebej kadar gre za športe z aktivnostmi nad glavo. Ugotovili smo, da je izboljšanje uspešnosti rehabilitacije omenjenih poškodb mogoče doseči s pravilno kombinacijo kinezioterapije, fizičnih dejavnikov, manualnih in drugih metod obravnave. Izbira posameznih metod in njihovo trajanje sta odvisna od patologije posamezne poškodbe. Jasno je, da so za izoblikovanje natančnih smernic celotne rehabilitacije, predvsem v poznejših športno specifičnih fazah, potrebne raziskave usmerjene samo v dvigalce utežiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZnanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper
