    While rotator cuff surgery may be the best option for some people, the fact is that non-surgical rotator cuff treatments can really help decrease pain and improve function of your shoulder.
    So today we’re going to go over the top 10 exercises I share in the clinic to help people who are having pain because of a rotator cuff injury.
    And it’s very important to say that you should always check in with your own PT or surgeon before doing any of these movements. These exercises are part of my non-surgical rotator cuff rehab program. If you’re recovering from an actual surgery, you need to follow the timeline and protocol from your surgeon and PT.

    A tip from a sufferer.. I am 65 I had a acromial de compression operation about 15 years ag on my right shoulder. It worked well but slowly came back. I had a back problem recently which meant I tried to protect the shoulder. It got worse, then the left shoulder became painful.
    I tried everything, I mean everything! The rotary cuff exercises helped but eventually I went to the surgeon who did the operation years ago. The symptoms were: pain all the time,. pain when i reached up, reaching for something meant yes you guessed it, PAIN!
    I had a steroid jab in the right which was instant, no pain at all. I took it easy like no reaching heavy lifting or stretching etc. However the left should got a bit better too. I went back to the surgeon and asked if could give me a steroid jab in the left. I did the same again limiting the movements as above and the pain did not return. What happens you see is that it is a vicious circle. The tendon gets compressed which is why when raising the arms the acromial bone squashes the tendon causing it to hurt and then it swells and this reduces the space and so the acromial bone squashes it again. Keeping it mobile but protected was the cure. Initially I did do loads of light weights and ended up in sheer agony. That is not to say that it is good for people that have similar or different (or even my problem just not as chronic) levels of pain..
    My tip, get it sorted, see a professional and follow his guidance, steroid jabs are great but don't exceed 3 as it softens the bone, so I am told by my own surgeon. I hope this helps and I am pleased with patience and the right approach it can be fixed.PS Sorry I cannot spell acromial its an age thing!!
