Rotator Cuff Injury – Diagnosis & Treatment

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is often the first treatment that most doctors might suggest for mild cases of rotator cuff injuries. You need to consult a professional therapist to follow some suitable exercises, which are specially designed for particular parts of the rotator cuff. The main goal is to optimize tendon and muscle function as well as train other muscles in the body to compensate for the damage. Over time, physical therapy can restore strength and flexibility of the shoulder. Even when you undergo surgery, these exercises can be an essential part of your recovery process. [5]
