Are you tired of living with the pain in your shoulder? You had hopes that, with a little rest, it would heal. Finally, you decide to get checked out by your doctor. Prognosis: Torn rotator cuff. What’s your next step? You may choose rotator cuff injury exercises, surgery, or perhaps both. Can your shoulder heal without needing an operation? This article is not intended to replace professional medical advise but the short answer is, yes, a torn rotator cuff can heal if proper physical therapy is approached in a progressive and patient manner.

The complex network of small muscles that make up the rotator cuff can be easily injured. Generally speaking tendons are durable, but if too much stress is placed on them, especially repetitive movements, swelling may result. If the stress continues without rest, then an eventual tear may occur. A sudden fall where you catch yourself with an outstretched hand is also a common cause.

These small muscles are endurance oriented, so any rotator cuff injury exercises must be approached with light weight and high reps. When first starting out, stay around 12-14 reps per set and gradually build up to around 20-30 reps as your rotator cuff gets stronger. Always pay attention to strict form when learning new exercises and of course talk with your doctor before taking on a new rotator cuff rehab program.
