Exercises for a rotator cuff tear to help you recover quickly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- A rotator cuff tear is a partial or complete tear of one or more of the four rotator cuff tendons. Rotator cuff injuries typically affect adults. People in their thirties and early forties rarely have a full-thickness tear without a significant traumatic event, such as a fall. Adults in their fifties and beyond can develop full-thickness rotator cuff tears without a major injury. A partial-thickness tear usually responds to the rehabilitation and nonoperative treatment but occasionally needs surgery. Often doing some exercises for a rotator cuff tear can relieve your pain and allow you to get back to what you love to do.

A full-thickness tear rarely improves without surgery to repair the tendon. With newer technologies, this surgery can almost always be performed arthroscopically.
In this video, physical therapist Yves Gege and I show a few exercises for a rotator cuff tear you can do to try to recover, if you have a rotator cuff tear.

I had surgery in 2007, I had a tear rotator cuff the doctor did the best he could he said it was messed up real bad I have been having trouble with my right arm I would not let him do my left one it's hard for me to reach up with my with my right arm. Will my arm ever get better. I wouldn't let them do my left arm because I can't hardly you either one good. But I will start working on both arm . I pray both get well. I really want the one that the Dr did the surgery on to get better. I am right handed .
3 sets of 15 on all of them this is recovery not a workout you can actually irritate the heck out of your tear, if you rush or dont focus on doing them slowly and properly. Take your time and give yourself proper brakes
As long as there is no pain
This is a good measurement
@@alipk2633but but but ... No Pain No Gain !!! (joking) "no pain" is an excellent measure for lots of things recovery wise
If you cant spell breaks vs brakes maybe you shouldn't be giving medical advice..
I tend not to take medical advice from someone who uses partially nude pics as their profile pic.
How often should I do the 3 sets off 15 please?
1:00 Band - 90 degrees step away
2:00 Finger walk up wall
3:30 Arms straight out @ 45 degrees, then up
thank you so mich
Thanks so much
I don't mean to bash the physical therapists. But I was going for rotator cuff therapy years ago. I had to go twice a week. Every time I had to pay $20 co-pay. So $40 dollars a week. And every time, they had me doing the same exercises over and over. Why just not show you what to do the first two visits and then tell you to do the same at home? I stopped going after the first month because I wasn't getting paid much and that extra $160 a month was too much. With that said, kudos for these guys for posting this valuable video for free.
If they tell you to do it at home they make no money
pool payments
The physio was a dud anyway ,they should have been giving you new more advanced exercises each time that's how mines worked anyway.
To make sure you are consistent in doing the exercises, alot of people aren't.
I am doing dead hangs it seems to help with my full tear, but I am surprised PTs know nothing about this subject and when I ask, they cringe.
Problem is I can’t lift my bad arm even half way up 😢
Exercises like this definitely work. These are very similar to ones prescribed to me by my doctor. My rotator cuff injury is much better now, but it did take a while. I'm now able to do standing dumbbell fly exercise with 20lb dumbbells- right after the injury I couldn't even raise my left arm with NO weight.
How long did it take you?
Bro today I was batting Andi swing very hard then I hear small sound from shoulder and now I hav pain in shoulder do I have rotator cuff ?
how long did it take you
@@noobstarop7500 Nope... People doesn't get this issue with minor kind of things happened for you.... If you're below 30 don't fear and not even think about it... But take some complete rest...
@@babukumar6498 yes I was very scared that time so much then after 3-4 days my pain went away but after 10 days when I was playing with my bro I got pain in my shoulder again now when I lift my shoulder i get little clicking sounds and very little pain
It’s both my shoulders, but my left one, I can’t go forward up or sideways, and my right one is just sideways that I can’t do
Thank you. I have a rotator tear that hurts all day and worse at night
all three exercises are really useful
Thank you
Thank you, for these. How often should they be done? Everyday? Or skip days? Thanks!
These motions look best for me. Chronic rotator cuff damage (both shoulders) that I waited seeing a specialist for 8 years after I damaged them loading scaffolding one day. After MRI was told low chance of success since tendons had dried and shrunk back. Wouldn't grow back to the bone after mechanical attachment.
Well, it's now 7 years later (15 overall). I'm 67 now, and still relatively active around the house. Just can't lift much above shoulder level without high pain reaction.
Will these exercises help me at all? Or am I just toast? Thanks
Isn't this a bit of a daft question? Yes, of course it will help...
@@jtaylor8606they were told that surgery wouldn't help their injury and so they briefly questioned if these RUclips exercises would. You sound a little daft yourself. Next time just answer the question without the condescension.
Interesting. I always wondered what happens if you don't get surgery. I didn't know that tendons would "dry and shrink back". Does that mean there's no way to get surgery on this in the future? So you have to get surgery within say a couple months or else it's too late?
I wonder also if that's the case with ligaments. I also tore my ACL a few years ago. It's fine now but I always wonder if I want to get surgery in the future if it's possible.
@TheBigfoot, I wonder if you an build up the other non-injured muscles around there and see if you basically change your bio mechanics to get the same motions but with using different muscles so you're not relying on the injured ones.
@@nofurtherwest3474my surgeon is the guy that handles all the TCU athletes, very respected doc. He says you have to reconnect the torn and separated tendon to the bone. Mine were 8 years after the injury and dried out. No hope to get my tendon to stretch fully AND come back to life to grow to the bone.
Thank you for this great video!
I had the pain when reaching up to a cabinet shelf. What helped me alot was going to a sports pool where we live. I would wear a snorkel mask so I could keep my head straight. I would do about 50-60 laps extending my arms together then pulling them down in an arc to propel forward. My pain eventually went away and my wife noticed my beefed up shoulder muscles which surprised me.
beast mode
how long did it take for the pain to go away for you?
@@Zayleemarz probably after 8-10 sessions it felt much better and I could reach up with no pain. I am sure it depends on how much or little damage there is.
@@VetteGuy57 that’s so awesome thank u so much ☺️ genius move
@@VetteGuy57 Jesus is God and he loves you very much :]
That actually really helps thank you Paul Rudd
Dude why LOL
Thanks a lot fellows I felt instant relief it's been at least 2 years but I just got over tkr surgery so I wasn't able to really work on my shoulders but instant relief it works thank you
Dude looks like Chael Sonnen
Talk about the “Trent Reznor” of Physical Therapy... “I want to Rehabilitate You.”
Just wanted to say, both of these individuals actually know what they're talking about, since they correctly recognise the rotator cuff/scapular muscles as being fundamental to power and stability generation from the shoulder joint, even though they are smaller and less than muscles like the deltoid. Excellent to watch this and I will be using these exercises for my own RC injury.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it was helpful!
Apparently didn’t know what I had was rotator cuff test when I move my arm, it always have a cluck and it also hurts when I do chest press.
Heey, meetoo.
can i ask u bro, Does the cluck is normal for the rotatorcuff injuries?
Sorry for my bad English,im indonesian 🙏🏻
It's Chael Sonen in alternate universe 🙂
He doesn’t mention slowly walking your fingers back down as this movement needs a bit of support
No doubt!!!!
Good exercises but it's good to follow them after warm up doing pendulum motion and stretching
Supraspinatus tear I can't even do 2kg lateral raise without my tendon sounding like it's tearing apart so yea I'm screwed. Been like this since February and if you grt shoulder tear we'll always accompied by another injury we'll mine is triceo tendonitis at scapular and elbow 😂
I've been doing exercises given to me by a physiotherapist for once a week for 9 weeks. I injured my rotator cuff about 6 months ago but just assumed I could continue with my weight routine it would eventually heal. Opps wrong, I made it worse. Being a senior and trying to continue my usual weight routine caused tendonitis and a rotator cuff tear. I can't sleep because of the pain, which limits healing time. Has anybody had cortisone shots for the pain? Is it a good idea?
After a few months from a rotator cuff injury, I thought everything was fine until I try to hang on a monkey bar. That was an incredible intense amount of pain, went to physical rehab the next of day. Turns out the massage therapy was even more painful and seems like the session lasted forever. All good now.
I'm not excited. Just injured mine.
So the massage therapy helped?
@@markgonzales1970 How is it now? did you get surgery?
Gonna try these! My injury has been keeping me up at night and waking me up in the morning. For a whole year! On trying them out i can tell these are the areas that need strengthening. Nice one.
Same here
Some advice. Don't go to osteopath. Made it so much worse.
@@shelleym.1814 what’s osteopath?
@@t-dogg3896 manipulation of muscles by massage techniques.
Are the exercises improving your rotator cuff now ?
This looks good. I have had a tear for 2 years not able to get surgery because of covid. I’m waiting to see my consultant .
This video is a breath of fresh air. I had a motorcycle wreck and tore my rotator and the mri said i had to have surgery with a tonotomy. But the craziest thing is, I don’t feel any severe pain. I feel a little soreness and when I lift my arm it kind of clicks a little bit.. so I postpone surgery and may try to do some things like this video is suggesting and not overdo it. To be honest, having four broken ribs was much worse pain than my rotator cuff tear. But is that normal not to have severe pain when you’ve been diagnosed with the rotator cuff injury?

I can’t do that last exercise, it hurts a lot
How many repetitions of raising your arms should I do? Do I hold them, and for how long?
Great Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Vaniam Tonatthew Formula (Have a quick look on google can't remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive guide for getting rid of your rotator cuff pain without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work colleague at very last got amazing success with it.
Hi, I hope you’ll see this. I don’t know if you’re still struggling with it. But try to feel it out, better to start lower and take your time, the bottom line is stay active work around the injury keep running doing abs. Work your back, all of that. If you can do rows try to identify what part of the cuff is weak. as for the raises the best and basic way is 5 rep 3 set if it feels good add a set of reps. Adjust some each week or when you feel stronger but go as slowly as humanly possible
I really a rotative cuff tear for about 4yrs now and it boarders me a lot
3 years for me
Resistance bands and IMS
my dad has ZERO muscle left in his shoulder... all he has is fat and is in a lot of pain. He is not overweight but that's all there is left (no muscle). The VA told him today that there is nothing they can do short of cut away his bone and graft in a steel ball and socket.. can anyone recommend if it is too late for his shoulder?? ( i realize most of you are not doctors or have medical training but I would bet you all have watched and experienced a lot of medical information) Thanks!

When I do the first exercise, what should my shoulder blade be doing? Should it be trying to pull back or should it just be relaxed?
Try to control every movement not make it too relax but of course not force it anything. Go slowly. And stop if it hurts
Yes but how long do you do them for and how many sets? 😊
Like and subscribed. I was just injected with steroids 3days ago.
If I do these exercises will it not irritate again the joint?
What is best for me to do?

Thank you for the video
Just torn mine without even knowing this Monday, gonna use this to recover, but if anyone can reply, does torn rotator cuff make me feeel like dislocating my shoulder?? I’ve felt like it was, I’ve had shoulder dislocation 3 months ago and had a torn rotator cuff this week
Thank you sir
Very useful video. I had MRI and was diagnosed with a supraspinatus tendinitis and tendinosis with a partial tear. Can I lift weights, in this case for a back muscles, like t bar row or similar? Also I was strengthening trapezius and back deltoids with the weights, am I getting my condition worse with this? Or should I just drop the weights and concentrate on supraspinatus
I did something similar, continued to do weights after feeling shoulder and arm pain. I'm suffering for it now. Rotator cuff tear and tendinitis. I'm going for physio now. Have you considered cortisone shots? I'm on the fence about having it. Some say it will help with sleep which I get very little of because of the pain.
@@bernice1654 no cortisone shot for sure. It won't cure the problem,it will give you a temporarily relief. Since I posted this comment, I am having a great progress in strength and mobility, pain is still there,but moderate. It will take probably for another 6 months until I recover in full. Most of the exercises I can do without the pain,the push ones( chest workout ) are still having pain 3-4/10. Key is physical therapy and knowledgeable therapist. Mine didn't help me much,I am mostly on my own.
@@ivanmisetic3423 agree, cortisone shot is not a good idea, I had once , after three days, then I feel something stuck on my back scapula bone when I moving my shoulder but no painful ( not very comfortable)
@@highspeeddream3980I also got the surgery my right shoulder latarjet procedure my left shoulder have supraspinatus tear9mm can I go for cortisone❤injection

I have rotator cuff tear while performing pull ups now I am not able to do pull ups so How should I treat the tear??? for complete treatment???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
First of all, the doctor seems like a genuinely good person. That said, it is insane to me, how he wouldn't know these exercises. What is even more insane, is that the doctor looks to be in great shape himself, which I can't see him obtaining the build he has without some of these movements. My only conclusion is that he is pretending to not know for us audience (but that doesn't bode well for confidence in him on our part)... or, who knows. Anyhow, GREAT video from both of you.
Most of these are all the same.. a lot fail to tell you how many reps.. and how many sets ... and how many times a week to do this....
Thanks guys
I hurted my shoulder in the weight room and I didn't know I did until I went to a chiropractor he sent me to get an mri and it said partial thicknss tear and he stick me 3 times with a cortisone shot and it made my shoulder feel much better but I still need to strengthen the muscles around my should so can I go back into the weight room and start LIFTING weights again but slowly until it's strong again
Excellent wonderful it's great help 👍
These are some really great simple tasks to do. With, or without equipment. Great video 👍🏾
Thank you so much!
I didn’t notice I had this until I picked up a baseball after 4 years. My doctor told me I was not able to play at the moment which bummed me out but hopefully I can recover from this soon
We’re you able to recover at all ?
I can’t raise both my shoulders past my mouth
I can't even wipe my butt good could tht be my rotator cuff
I am facing recurrent shoulder off whenever I throw the cricket ball. It gets healed within splits seconds at their own and things get back to normal. This only occurs while throwing otherwise there is no problem. Can someone please suggest me what I should do further to overcome this??
Actually, I heard, that first exercise with the elastic cord is not the best
Move, at least not in the early stages. You can actually cause further
damage if you don't take it slowly...easily, employing shoulder shrugs
and 'raises.
Worked for me.
I do not have pain in my shoulder. But the upper arm muscles, I did have a fall about A month ago falling on the back of my upper arm. Yet both arms seem affected. Thank you
I think I need to start on this for my painful left shoul
Hey Doc , You look like Clark Kent subscribed
With rotator cuff pain is it felt in the front or the back of the shoulder

Thanks for the video. In addition to exercises, hanging on a chin up bar (palms facing out) for a minute or two, several times per day, helped me a lot.
Then you don't have a rotator tear.
Helped me a lot too mate and I’ve got a full width, 3mm deep tear.

@@Blackfeather7777 no it did not help much,doctor suggested I can do light weight workout in biceps-chest sessions and should not do shoulder workout. Best way to treat this is by using hot compress.
These are so easy to do.I havnt yet seen a specialist as my GP said I will need to at some time have an operation but im going to try these first and hopefully avoid the operation all together or at least for some time.
Wish me luck!
Did they help you
How are you a year later?

Thanks!!!
Simple and right to the point.
Thx!
I've torn my rotator cuff for the third time. Had the operation after the first time, and after the second, was told it couldn't be surgically repaired again. Fell walking across the street ten days ago, and here I go again. My question is, would it be helpful to use a heating pad before and ice after doing these exercises?

@@DrDavidGeier i have a shoulder that dislocates ev so often for many yrs. I cant have surgery. Do i ever have hope of attempting pullups? Because ive just avoided them for years and they are really important. Ive been inactive but i need to restart bc the depression is heading in a dangerous direction. I just want to know can i strengthen n try or no?
i can’t do pull-ups either due to rotator cuff tear from years ago. i did find that if i load up on resistance bands i can at least get the range of motion for if nothing else, a good stretch. just have to go slow and know your limitations. if the pain flies in too much, that’s it.

Exactly I had injection on my tendon plus tablets still not much difference pain is there.
@@s.priolkar exercises increase blood flow circulation which brings in the cellular elements of the healing process. The steroid shot breaks the cycle of chronic inflammation which prevents progression of the healing stages. Key is to not overdo it. I'm in the same boat as you, with a torn RC. Good luck with your healing goal👍
@@IAm1InTheIAm Thank you for the information 😊
I got a tear because of an motorcycle accident, overhead movement dislocates my shoulder.
I flew onto concrete! Yay....
I tried drawing with only my shoulder. Well I actually don't know if it's a tear or impingement but it's been almost 7 months and the pain still hasn't gone away
@kilt6680 Clicks and popping noises was happening to me right after my injury that happened at work. Couldnt raise my arm overhead and lost strength big time. Started Phyical therapy 2 weeks after my injury. It took almost 3 months of PT and the clicking and noises is way less than before. Still happens every now and then tho.
I would start doing these exerises in this video because they are somewhat similar to what I do at PT. Your going to have to strenghen all the muscles in your shoulder someway to help with the pain.
But keep in mind it takes time. But you HAVE to do the exerises. And go to the doctor.
“40’s, 50’s, 60’s, whatever…” me, 19 watching this video 👀
Absolute bollocks
How? 🕵️♀️
Hello Doc.. i found your video really interesting and the statement of yours where you ask us not to do repeated painful motion made me continue watching this video.
I figured out that i have subscapularis tear by doing multiple tests (lift off, bear hug, belly press were positive). Its been 2 months and i haven't done any rests initially till i understood that its a tear. What are the excercises that i can do for SUBSCAPULARIS TEAR? Please guide me. You are the only hope to me in the youtube now.
I have the same tear while I was performing pull ups so how should I treat this to recover???????????????????????
