  • A rotator cuff tear can heal naturally WITHOUT surgery in 9 out of 10 cases. It’s just a matter of doing the right exercises at the right time and making sure not to rush the process. Everyone heals at different rates depending on your genetics, your lifestyle, and your overall health.
    Healthcare professionals are so used to NOT seeing rotator cuff injuries improve because the aren’t trained in showing people how to heal naturally. They focus on giving out medications, injections and recommending surgery. It’s just not taught in healthcare schools!
    Even physiotherapists are mostly taught about how to rehabilitate someone after they’ve had a shoulder surgery, rather than taught about how to prevent the surgery.
    In this video, Dr. David shows you exactly how to progress through the top 5 rotator cuff exercises that actually help heal and avoid surgery.

    Hi everyone, We have just launched a new Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program. The Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program is a comprehensive program designed to get your shoulder pain under control to allow the rotator cuff tendons to heal.
    Then it guides you to correct the underlying root muscle imbalances so that you can fix the source of the problem (rather than just treat the symptoms) and get long-term relief from shoulder pain.
    This program works even if you've had rotator cuff surgery in the past but continue to have rotator cuff problems. To learn more please click this link: www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/rotator-cuff-tear-recovery-program/

      brother i want to just say this video has helped me to much, especially the first 2 exercises alone, I notice a clear increase my rotation range on the problem shoulder.
      i had a fall on my left shoulder, and something popped out (maybe a sublaxation not sure).... the arm was upright (like holding your hand up pointing to the ski), and it smashed on the ground in this position when I fell....then the arm was locked. I managed to somehow pop it back in at the time of the accident.
      It then locked again when my arm was overhead during a shower (I think I was raising my arm too much, too fast and too high, and with too much aggression).
      have you ever seen this where people raise an arm up, and the shoulder suddenly moves, and locks, and then preventing people from lowering their arm until it pops back in....any feedback is appreciated.

I wanted to try non evasive therapy first however money is short and I can’t afford insurance. I found this guy and his exercises not only gave me immediate relief to get through my work day as a baggage handler but in a few short months I regained complete range of motion with little to no pain at all!

I decided to follow your 5 exercises and the shrugging exercises have actually relieved my terrible pains I've been having. I will continue to follow your videos, but wanted to thank you for giving me 30 mins of no horrific pain. You are a very smart person. Thank you so much. You are an angel

      If that person is not having pain and strengthening the surrounding muscles etc. why do the surgery? Full tears don’t heal I know but if you still have full use of shoulders why would you do the surgery

    • @green8718
      @green8718 2 месяца назад +1

      Why would they recommend shoulder replacement instead of rotator cuff repair surgery? Shoulder replacement is a much more serious procedure.

    • @jmac3112
      @jmac3112 Месяц назад +1

      A full thickness tear doesn't mean that the whole muscle/tendon has separated, it just means that at part of that cuff, there's a tear that goes from top to bottom e.g hypothetically say a muscle and tendon was 10cm Long x5cm Wide x 3 cm depth, a full thickness tear could be 1cm across but go through the whole depth. So you'd still have 2cm width of full thickness at that site. They won't necessarily heal back to what they were but they can stabilise. I don't get the rationale for a TSA for a cuff tear? Surgeons gonna surgeon...

    Excellent video. I am 71 yrs. old, had rotator cuff repair surgery 10 yrs. ago. I am very active, work out, and even the Dr. was impressed w my strength. My shoulder has been hurting lately and it's reminiscent if my old rotator cuff tear pain. After watching several of Dr. David's videos and following his suggested exercises , I actually could feel some relief right away. I'm soooo glad I came across his videos. He definitely knows his stuff !!! I am VERY grateful. I didn't want to have to go through another surgery and MONTHS of recovery. Thank you, Dr.David.

    You are such an excellent teacher! I have been getting PT for a rotator cuff (undiagnosed term) - Dr said “some aspect of your rotator cuff.” After @2 months of therapy, he cautioned me that I was getting a “frozen shoulder” and needed more aggressive therapy. That consisted of “stretching” my arm and twisting it in all sorts of positions that I would not ordinarily do in everyday life. They insisted that we needed to “loosen up” the shoulder. Problem is, they were painful sessions and I found it outright torture. Now my pain is much worse in parts of my shoulder that were not hurting so overall I am much worse than I was to begin with. THANK YOU for your videos and suggestions. I am anxious to try these to see if I can get some relief and improvement. THANK YOU!

    Doc I have no idea why you aren't getting quadruple the number of views you have. I'm almost 67, very physically active, and had left shoulder surgery 4 years ago. I was preparing for right shoulder surgery when I saw this video. My years of experience with rotator cuff injury tells me your videos are going to be helpful, and will help me avoid or at least delay surgery. I'm going to try the exercises you prescribed before I submit to going under the knife. I will do the surgery if necessary, but I'm psyched to try your exercise regimen - I firmly believe it's going to benefit me.

    You are the bomb. These videos about rotator cuff exercises, description, and diagnosis are fantastic. I started arm wrestling about a year ago and over the last few months seemed to have hurt my right shoulder(I was doing heavy singles on my right only, regular excersizes on both arms). Im going to be using all the information you have given to heal up as well as try to get an MRI to make sure. Ill track my progression to verify if this information helps. I can already tell the shrugs are key to proper recovery excersize already.

    On that "Wall exercise," I couldn't do it every hour, at the beginning of
    my rehab-----It would make the shoulder sore and tired; I had to do it
    every 2, or even, 3 hours, after the first couple of sets. But gradually,
    I increased, not only the amount of times a day I performed this tech-
    nique.... but the numerical count. I went from counting to SIX, to
    counting to TEN. It just takes patience, and repetition.
    I am now working the, "Speed bag," like my Orthopedic Surgeon
    Said I would.
    NOTE;
    I'm not going Full Bore on the, "Bag," but rather, medium speed and
    reduced power, until I can put more 'Charge' into it.
    Thanks, Doc.!

I did not get surgery on the first dislocation - both dislocations caused by a traumatic fall with my arm out. I will definitely use some of these exercises and modify what exercises were recommended by the physio. I am now 3.5 in since the dislocation that took place, but I know for a fact these exercises are SO IMPORTANT!! Thanks Dr.David!

    Thanks for posting this video. My left shoulder is the issue. I've been seeing a physical therapist for this for a few weeks. He suggested to see an orthopedic surgeon for further review. Anything overhead kills me, sleeping at night is really tough since I turn quite frequently. I have been doing the bands since the aggravation. My left shoulder was hit by a .50 cal butt plate while serving. I have subscribed to your channel and hope that with your guidance things will get better.

    I'm new to RCI (v. painful), this helps a lot. It also confirms what I am already doing in my weight training (for fitness, not body building), i.e. including shrugs in several exercises. Particularly, the shoulder rotation is most helpful as my RCI is compounded by advancing arthritis - I make a point of doing as much exercise as I can to help keep it at bay. Thank you for this, very helpful.

      You're welcome @theondebray!!! We hope you get back to feeling 100% in your shoulder very fast with these shrugging movements!!! It should take pressure off your shoulder joint to help your arthritis too!!

    Fantastic! I’ve been doing these every day multiple times. I can feel and see how stiff my shoulder is. Ugh. Today I applied heat to my shoulder for about 20 minutes then did the pulley and the cat/cow stretch. Wow! Big difference after the heat. Joint felt more open and lubricated. My shoulder flexion was so much higher. Lateral and medial rotation are nil. Will keep working slowly on that.
    Thank you so much!!!

    Thanks, the degree of progression between the exercises was really useful in giving a way to feel through the injury as healing came together. I’ve a feeling I only had a partial tear as, once the initial inflammation settled recovery was faster than I expected, yet I felt reasonably safe in the process.

    You are truly one of the rare best I have searched for one year. Thank you very much!!
    So, when doctors say rotator cuff does not heal by itself without surgery, I think these are fibers, so why not get healed if the person has good cells to produce naturally? Especially the surgery somehow doesn't give 100% results. Could you do a clip on this topic, please?
    Thank you again for all the great information you have shared with us.

    Been a nagging right shoulder for the past year then I did something at the gym this weekend that finally was the last straw. My shoulder is killing me. Going to ortho in morning and hopefully will get an answer, but I’m starting these asap. I do not want surgery. Thanks for the info/advice, it’s very much appreciated.

    You have some excellent suggestions, some I had figured out on my own. What would be appreciated is a quick video that describes what exactly is a rotator cuff tear, and what causes the popping (ligaments perhaps?) when rotating the ball and socket per your exercises. Help us better understand our injury. Thank you.

      Hi Jandi, you're welcome. Just in case you're interested, we have a rotator cuff tear help playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here:
      "Rotator Cuff Tear Help"
      ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1mbQ_-1YFfEePnrcxfwwf9_k
      We also have a Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program. The program is similar to our in-person treatments minus the manual manipulation. The Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program is a comprehensive program designed to get your shoulder pain under control to allow the rotator cuff tendons to heal.
      Then it guides you to correct the underlying root muscle imbalances so that you can fix the source of the problem (rather than just treat the symptoms) and get long-term relief from shoulder pain. This program works even if you've had rotator cuff surgery in the past but continue to have rotator cuff problems. To learn more please click this link: www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/rotator-cuff-tear-recovery-program/
      We wish you all the best in your road to recovery. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
